WHY LIGHT AUTOMOBILES PREDOMINANT
IN EUROPE AND MAY SOON IN AMERICA

two inches In bore, are performing real
service in billy and mountainous coun-
try and through a wide range Of con-
dltions, while 80 or 40 miles per gallon
is the usual performance Of their test
runs. While the tire cost per mile is
but a fraction of what one is accus-
toned to in the large machines, 16 900
to 10000 miles is not unusual tire mile
age.
The British type Of mind does not
object to gear shifting and hence one
abroad can design a car with a very
high speed engine of very small size
and get away with it. 1t is more i'm
perative to them that they save gaso-
line cost and upkeep than to save the
nuisance OF changing gears.
EMAIL ENGINES IN TAxlS
The use of small engines has been
emphasized particularly in taxicab
cabs were limited to a certain amount
of fuel per day, an amount which with
ordinary conditions would not enable
them to keep their cabs running at a
profit.
To overcome this condition many of
them fitted motor cycle engines under
the hoods Of their taxis, even small 2A
horse power air cooled engines of the
two-cylinded horizontal opposed type
being used BY this method some of
the drivers were able to obtain as high
as go miles of travel on an imperial
gallon of fuel
1t Is very probable that the near fu-
ture will see European practice adapt
ed to American design, but with the
tetterment Of engines that will not re-
quire the constant shifting of gears
If this can be accomplished and tho
many assets of the ultra light weight
car can be obtained without the usual
liability a new era in car enjoyment
will become a fact

 Those who waited anxious1y were not disappointed for a cabinet known as The Empty Room was exhibited and the doors being closed for an in stant were reopened and out stepped the ever smiling iIlusionist himself. Dermotti, attired in evening dress and in clown makeup.

 Miss Mary Ann Dentler will again have an opportunity of appearing in the leading role and her work of this week in Remnant which closes to- night, is a certain criterion of what can be expected next week.

A large advance sale of seats has al ready been recorded for the per formance tonight and those who in tend going are advised to secure res ervations ct once.
 For tomorrow night the manage men has arranged another bill of moving pictures and music which IS superior to anything ever held here on a Sunday evening. Wallace Reid in The Roaring Road" in one of his very best efforts, is the feature and is alone worth the price of the ad- mission. The Sennett comedy will arluse and entertain with one of the best in the large repertoire, NO Mother to Guide Him." which is the funniest thing the Sennett comedians have put over in some time. The Pathe News Is interesting as usual illustrating some of the most import ant Of the current events and with the concert by the Lyric orchestra to listen to throughout the perform ances Lyric patrons have a real treat in store for them.

some extent French ties. was at
heart sentimental, and that number

talked were agreed that if Germany

National feeling had grown enor,
