PALACE.

Washington this week has an op-
portunity,to witness another unusual
picture OF the war in Hearts OF
Humanity which opened to crowded
houses at the Palace Theater yester-
day. 1t is site to say there has not
been presented here a war fllm which

which are a part OF this production.
Hearts OF Humanity came to
Washington, highly praised after a
long run in New York. and the way
1t was received by Palace audiences
yesterday, indicates that s. packed
houses will witness every screening
of the film masterpiece here" 1t is
not possible to conceive how a greater
number OF intensely dramatic scenes
could be presented in one picture. r..

frightful remembrance. Although

Bunch of the Bunch Morrow Motor Car company. Alabama distrib- uters of the famous Stanley steam car. Mere throttle control of Stanley power is what gives Stanley drivers the reputation of being the most po- lite drivers on the road It is no ef- fort, physical or mental, of the Stan ley driver to slow down. or shoot ahead. at any instant, to give the other fellow, on foot Or in motor. the right of way. The instinct to do this is not dulled. With the same ease re can ap- ply the power to slip through the traffic, pull himself out of hard going, check his speed to nothing on the hills and accelerate again. all with a slight movement of the throttle. Ratifying the familiar protest rnat gear shift is only a makeshift," he has the con- sciousness that such a device has no place in a motor car. His throttle alone gives him the same effect This accounts in great measure for the fas- cination in operating Stanley, and for the comfort and security experi- enced by driver and passengers alike.

BUICK FACTORY HELPS OWNERS
 RECOVER CARS Maintains a Special Service for Protection From Thefts-Many Cars
 Recovered

Automobile thieves have found it an extremely hard task to keep Buick motor cars after they get them. for the Buick Motor company's stolen cal. recovery sys- tenn renders such a quick service of pur- suit that it overtakes the thieves and as- sists in their capture.
 SCxfeless and unthoughtful owners give thieves unlimited opportunities to drive away their cars" says E. B. Wilson, dl- rector of sales of the Buick Motor com pany. This condition brought about the establishing of an efficient stolen car division in our sales department.
 Several years ago. when automobile thieves began their operations, our fac- tory began the construction of system for recovering Buick cars. The object of our work is to render assistance to any unfortunate owners in recovery of cars and the apprehension of the thieves.
 f'Fron year to year the efficiency of this system has increased. and today the Buick Motor company is benefiting thou- sands of owners with a service that po- lice departments all over the country highly praise"
 Stealing automobiles is a simple act, but what is now worrying the Buick thief is the disposing of stolen cars. What was at one time a comparatively easy thing to do has become a dangerous op-
  ture and conviction of many thieves are having a telling effect upon others at large, and each week there is a notice- able falling of; of stolen car reports.
 These results are worthy of the atten- tion of our big insurance companies, and we hope that he continued efforts and beneficial operation of our system may assist in effecting a consideration of readjustmnnt in insurance rates. thus again benefiting our great number of owners.
 Through our stolen car system our own CTS are receiving a service that even the best organized thief protective associa tions do not sur pass for our large work ing forces cover a wide area, acting quickly in wea ying a web around the thief, making it difficult to dispose of stolen car without apprehension and pros ecution, thereby bringing the thief's vision of illegal sales to a sudden ending.
 Our sales organization is ever on the lookout for schemes of the thief. and through their assistance and watchful- ness many Buick cars have been recov- cred.
 We request owners not to neglect re- of their cars to their Buick dealer, so that they may receive the assistance and benefits of eur stolen car recovery sys- tenn.

SUMMER HEAT IS
 HARDER ON TIRES
 THAN WINTER COLD

Automobile tires wear better and last longer in the cold winter months than they do in the warm days of summer. In this one particular, at least, the cost of keeping up a car is~less in winter than in summer.
 Fleets of test cars operated by the United States Tire company have dem onstrated that the lower temperatures have a beneficial effect on tires. In spite of bad snow and ice conditions carefully kept records show that tires give much greater mileages in winter than in sum mer. Heat is one of the worst enemies a tire is called on to face, especially fric- tional heat The cold air lessens this heat and makes it possible for a tire to last longer in spite of the extra pound ing it gets when snow and ice are on the ground.
 This rule applies, of course, where the tire is confronted only with the ordinary had road conditions growing out of snow and ice and frozen highways. But where the motorist must drive his car over rough roads deeply cut into ruts winter presents a decidedly different problem, and only the most careful driving will make It possible for him to get a full return on his tire investment.
 To those owners whose cars must travel over rutty roads the United States Tire company suggests that tires can be saved best by keeping out of the ruts where possible, by driving slowly and carefully and h5 keeping the tires inflated to standard pressure.
 An especial effort should be made by the driver to keep out of ruts which cnrpe above the rim of the tire. Where progress cannot be made except through deep ruts do not let the tire grind along the sides of the ruts because the side wzz1s of the strongest tires feel quickly the effects of such treatment. An ex- animation of the alignment of the front wheels should be made once a week. because wheels are likely to be thrown out of true by the Jogging they get, and bad alignment means tire injury.
