Chains Are the Only Sure
Cure for the Skidding Evil

against even the semblance OF dis
aster of any kind.
Mechanical advances in con-
struction have so improved the auto
mobile that there is little excuse for
smashes. Perhaps the only risk that
cannot be entirely eliminated comes
in the use of the car on wet and slip
perry streets, which brings to the fore
the peril of skidding.
Skid Is Nerve Hacking.
The skid is one of the most nerve
racking of experiences.
| There is nothing that makes a
man lose his nerve so thoroughly as
bad skid that ends in broken wheel
against a curb or that makes mat
tiers far worse by "side swiping" a
moving trolley car.
Here the accessory manufacturer
has come to the rescue with the in
vention of the non-skid chains.
1t took American inventive
genius to discover that If there was
sufficient pressure on q chain it
would take tons Of effort to slide it
over a wet pavement or the muddiest
dirt roads, and that the weight of
any car itself automatically sup
! plies more pressure than is ever
| needed effectively to stop tenden-
ey to slide on the part of the slip
perry rubber surface of the tire.
When one goes out in the rain its
an easy matter to be prepared by
putting on the chains, and when it's
really wet, nothing gives a greater
feeling of security than chains on
all fours"; for, of all skids, the front
wheel variety is the most dreaded,
as it is the hardest to counterfeit by
manipulation of the steering wheel
How to Avoid Danger.
But in the driest weather there
may be the effects of the street
sprinkler to contend with or sud
den shower may overtake the car
within so short distance Of home
or your next stop that 3 driver
would rather take the risk than get
out in the rain to put on the chains.
In such contingencies the ability
to do the right thing at the right
time is great help.
First of all, drive slowly over the
wet stretch. Like the Irishman's
fall, 1t isn't the speed that hurts; it's
the sudden stop that does the dam
age.
So, by all means, avoid putting on
the brakes, as that simply locks the
gear and makes it easier for them
to slide by preventing their natural
tendency to roll ahead.
The moment the car starts to
slide off at the rear, turn the front
wheels sharply in the same direc-
ton as the rear ones are skidding.
Both pair then present an acute
angle to the slide movement; and
the rear wheels will resume rolling
and follow the front wheels instead
Of siidding.
Turning the front wheels in the
other direction will aggravate the
tendency to skid to a Dangerous
degree.

Greece Finds Gasoline
Substitute Durinu War

When the allied fleets blockaded
Greeian ports at the end Of 1916
shutting her of from the outside
world, many new industries sprang
up within the country. Foremost
among these was the manufacture of
a gasoline substitute known as emo
torine," sold throughout Greece by
several companies and under various
names. Roughly, the product is com
posed of 80 to 90 per cent of pure
high proof turpentine, distilled to a
high degree of volatility and mixed
with 10 to 20 per cent ether. Proper
ly blended and used in an automo-
bile or an internal combustion engine
this gives satisfactory results. Owing
to the fact that automobile owners
in Greece are drawn from the
wealthy classes. no attempt has been
made to lower the high cost of pro-
ducing this fuel.

cashiers and ushers may be in their respective places but 1t is the opera tor who starts the show and as the no washee" holds good in a chinese laundry mo operator. no show is the fact in the cinema theatre.
 Not all Is roses and paths of easy going smoothness for the man in the booth. He has many discomfftures and nerve-racking wearisome times. He must be not only an expert In his line, but cool, quick -witted, alert and ready at all times to master any of the many things that occur in his lit tie galvanized coop of which the au- dience knows little or nothing. If he is a first class man marion his job he must handle the celluloid film with the utmost care so as not to scratch or marr the film in any shape or manner, as scratch on a film is magnified from fifteen to twenty thousand times when project ed on the screen.
 At times his position is not with out danger and trying moments. The film may catch fire and he may be blinded by smoke and scorched by the intense heat but the well seasoned and experienced operator is a man
 
 --. -ii every sort of a case of emer ss~cy or grave danger.
 In case of fire he tries rything he can to confine the flames within the fireproof booth and battle with the flaming celluIoid as best he may. It would not be amiss to say that on the operator depends the safety of the lives of the audience at nearly all times. But few ever give this a thought.
 Let there be one person in the au- dioriurn or the theatre filled to it's capacity the Man Behind the Gun must continuously stand by, remain ing alert and ready throughout And some vivid tales are told by operators whose nerves have been put to the test in a motion picture theatre ma chine booth.
 Then again, an operator has very little time for play.

course I can't sit and watch the pie lures for any length of time because as I suppose you know while one
 machine is going, worked by an au- tomat1c motor drive, the other needs a bit of oil and maybe an adjustment of a certain part and has to be threaded up ready to set going as soon as the other machine is about to stop, as this is what causes the pie ture to fade part three say into part four and continue without a break in the action.

MT. William 1ured the fair heroine to a deserted house in the suburbs, by a note purported written by her fiancee. We see her confronting the william who, snake-like glides toward her and grasps her arm. She scorn- fully casts his arm off and swiftly crosses room, putting a table between herself and the man William leers at her and explain that resistance is use less as she is in his power
 The whole audience watching the picture sit breathless, held in sus- pense. The girl is facing a terrifying situation-will she escape? The door, back of william, slowly opens-the girl quickly places her hand to Fer mouth to stifle the scream that rises to her lips. She registers horror-a figure clad in a long, black cloak and hood with ghostly hands which slowly raise, displaying talon-like claws; walks into the room and goes silent ly toward MT.

 The Plea for Respite
 The screen is white, half second, and a slide is flashed which reads, One Moment Please
 Through the entire audience runs the same wave of feeHng-disgust for the operator and this is one of the few times the man in the booth known as the motion picture machine
 a Gum is brought into the Iimelight, raked over the coals and spoken of in a. none too complimentary manner
 Unless the picture on the screen flickers, a misframe occurs, or the film breaks in an interesting part the operator, who is to the motion picture show what oxygen is to the human life, is seldom if ever spoken of.
 But managers and those ''in on the know will tell you the operator is a sort of tin god who rules with an iron hand his loyal subjects, the mo- ton picture machines, in his little kingdom, within the area of the fire proof booth, over which he is a mighty, all-important monarch.

 Cutest animal - Fuzzy-wuzzy the youngest of the lion cubs.
 Meanest animal - Poucho head of the hyena family
 To one familiar with menagerie animals many oc tho above selections will be understandable. But not all are familiar with the fact that the giraffe is indeed the quietest of all quadrupeds- This is because he lacks vocal cords and so never utters a sound
