1t may seem paradoxical, but the lit
tie show at the Hipp is, about The big
best affair that the management has
staged there recently Six small mid
gets, none over thirty-six inches tau,
are cast in number of bits that al
ford them an excellent opportunity to
demonstrate that occasionally some
pretty fine prizes are tied up in very
small packages. Forgetting the little
folks, the chorus which is composed
Of six handsomely formed young la
dies who sing and dance nicely, are
entertainers that you will be delight
ed to see. This week bills change
every night, and nothing that was seen
at the first showing will be seen at the
bill either tonight or tomorrow night.
An extra added attraction is the no.
land sisters who do a special dancing
number that is clever.

Last TIme Tor astoIen orders.g

Stolen Orders" which is on the
screen at the Dixie today for the last
time, is one of those big plays thai
makes an impression for the size Of
the undertaking. The play deals with
the theft of certain orders from the
commander of one of the American
fleats, and the plot as unfolded is full
of thrills and adventure. One of the
most exciting events Is the fight IL
the basket OF balloon and the fall OF
the fighters into the water and the
subsequent rescue by the girl in an
aeroplane.

Burlesque, by the way, means ludt-
crous representation, travesty, parody,
and its mission is to create fun and
laughter by extravagant contrast and
caricature-nothtng else. Burlesque Is
purely entertainment and while no
stretch of the Imagination could con-
ceive anything uplifting in a burlesque
performance 1t generally provides
more laughs to the minute than any
thing else on the stage today. This
explains the wide popularity and de-
mand for burlesque. 1t gives us the
reason for the well filled houses each
show is drawing to the Grand. 1t fur
thermore explains why so many men
excuse themselves from the family

relaxation and untroubled enjoyment.
AS a tonic for rundown nerves, tired

as good as one will see in the larger

newals create problem; namely. how
fast will these tires wear out on each
type of road surface? Compare, for In
stance, the smooth residence of Fifth
avenue with the rough, gritty and fiiinty
surfaces so often encountered on eoun-
try roads. and try to imagine what tidy
sum in tire bills would be saved if We
could all travel on avenue surfaces. The
saving in tire costs alone would pay
the difference in construction cost in
many instances.
How much does the road surface gov
ern the amount of gasoline required by
the motor vehicle? This is an important
and timely question, for right now seri-
Gus minds are worrying over the future
OF power sources for motor cars. No con-
elusive tests have been made on all

conditions and with disinterested motives
Such data us has been assembled shows
that road surfaces offer tractive resis-
tances running all the way from 800
pounds or more per ton for sand and
loose gravel to 20 pounds and less for
the best grades of smooth, hard-surfaced
pavements
These tests, however. should be stand
ardized and made authoritative so we can
tell whether the saving in tires and

out three sizes of trucks; for instance,
its three-ton, its five-ton and its two
ton, simultaneously. This will affect fav-
orably the delivery to distributors. and
through them to users. So far, Packard
has had to run on one size until suf-
ficient quantity was on hand, then change
over it's tools jigs and fixtures for a
run on another size, This limitation ar
