The requests espe from those who mad been unable 10 see the picture during it's last showing here and from many who wanted the opportunity to see it again. Male ard Female, played to capacity crowds from it's first showing to the last, four continuous days and thousands were turned away because even the large ca pacity of the strand was unable to accom- modate the crowds. In order to give all ol his patrons an opportunity of seeing this stupendous production, Manager Frank Hammond made arrangements for q re- turn engagement at the earliest possible date, so it is ccming tomorrow for threa days only.
 The thousands who saw Male and Fe- male" on it's showing here have had noln- ing but praise for this Paramount-Art- craft uper-production, the master work of Cecil B deMile MT. deMIle is recos- nized as one of the masters of screen craft hut everything he has done in the past, wonderful as it was, is overshad- owed by Male and Female.
 It is a picturization of The Admirable Crichton, by Sir James NJ Barrie, and it is the first work of this famous authe1 ever to be adapted to the screen. The 1a- nous dramatist withstood all reques's until he saw the sort of screen drama that Mir. deMiilc produced, so he aeceded

the Sovold Tire Corporation, drove I'D

Columbus Circle, Friday afternoon. sue
cessfully terminating the first officia4
road test of the company's product,
More than $500 miles, the aim of the
trip, was accomplished since the start
from the Chicago Automobile Club, on
July 8, and under the most adverse Of
conditions, caused chiefly by the long
rains through Pennsylvania and Ohio.
=, Three tires were on the same air
throughout and the fourth was &C.
mented slightly to keep down lacera-
tions occa stoned by ten-foot plunge
into ditch to avoid collision near
Detroit. Every mile of the way, how
ever, was accomplished on the four
original tires, the seal on the spares
being unbroken from beginning to end.
f. E. Edwards, chairman Of the tech
nical committee of the Chicago Auto
mobile Club, and formerly chairman of
a like committee Of the merican Auto
mobile Association, supervised the test
and examined the tires on arrival in
New York. He found his labels and
seals intact and officially verified the
performance of the tires.
The test thoroughly demonstrated
the rebuilt tire. Each Savold on which
the run was made was built in the Chi
cago factory of the corporation from
old carcasses already discarded.
The New York and Chicago officers
Of the Savold Tire Corporation are
satisfied, as is Mr.. Edwards, that Mr..
Durborough gave the tires a severe
test and completely proved the sue
cess OF the process of reclamation.

Edward S. Jordan Offers
Used Car Solution
Buy Only the Best Second Cars
Offered as Trade.Ins, Is
His Suggestion

Edward S. Jordan, president of the
Jordan Motor Car Company, offers au-
'tomobile dealers solution of the
problems connected with the handling
of used cars. His suggestion for set
thing the used car question, which
dealers have long considered one Of
their greatest problems, has attracted
considerable attention since he made
it in an address before a recent meet
ing of automobile manufacturers and
dealers.
Jordan asked every dealer present
to write the names of what he consid-
cred the best and second best cars in
every price class from $500 up. This
gave each dealer list of about sixteen
cars. Each man made his own list
without consulting anybody else.
Then Jordan suggested that for six
ty days each dealer trade only in the
cars he had just written on his list,
cars which measured up to the individ-
ual dealers specifications of what con-
stituted good merchandise.
III you will have the courage to sell
only those cars you know are good
merchandise" Jordan told the dealers,
lit will mean a big elimination, OF
course, but you will have the used car
problem solved.
Don't sell a man an automobile
you know is wrong. You can figure he

Hot Weather
Tire Pressures

Summer days cost m otorists a lot of
money" is the declaration of G. E.
Drummer, manager Of the service de-
partment Of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company. "Most motorists have
a wrong impression about the increase
Of air pressure in tires in warm wealth
er. Belief is quite common that on
hot days the air pressure may in
crease to the point Of causing a blow
out. There really is nothing to this,
for the heat does not come from the
temperature of the air outside, as is
commonly supposed, but from the nat
ural fexing Of the tire as it rolls over
the road or street.
at is true that on very hot day the
air pressure in tires that are used
continuously increases slightly, but new
er sufficiently to cause any injury to
the tire. Tires are not as fragile as
some persons imagine, and are able
to stand three and four times the
ordinary pressures used.

How to Know
When Gas Line

First, Later Engine Stops

PRESIDENT StssOart a utomnbIe School
One of the most banning troubles for
the novice to locate is an obstruction
IN the gasolene line from tank to car
buretor Some carburetors have q
strainer where the gasolenc enters the
float chamber, and others have a
strainer on some part of the easolene

tank where the supply from the main
tank enters at the top.
Ihese are all easily removed for
cleaning, but sometimes clogging oc-
ours at bend in the pipe, and then it
is not so easily reached In some
cases the pipe line is removed from the
carburetor and the operator blows back
against the stoppage. This frequently
iooSens 1t and the gasolene is allowed
TO now, carrying the dirt with it.
This trouble usually comes on gradu-
ally, few pieces Of lint, chaff, dust,
etc, accommodating on the strainer and
not doing any harm, as there is plenty
OF room around them for the passage
OF the gasolene. But soon the accumu-
lat'on only allows enough gasolene to
pass through to run the engine at
normal speed. The driver does not
know this and when he tries to speed
up the engine it does not respond.
The -gasolenc cannot flow through
fast enough to satisfy the increased de-
mand, making the engine sluggish
Then more dirt arrives and the engine
weakens. may backfre at the carbur-
etor, and soon stops. Gasolene can get
through. but not fast enough to supply
rNe engine.
While the motorist is searching for
the trouble tho float chamber fills and
the engine may be started. This Is
the characteristic symptom Of q
cloggcd gasolene line. The engine
stops, but may be started after a time,
only to stop again. Where strainer
is easily accessible it is we'll to clean
1t occasionally, but the average opera
tor waits until the above symptoms de-
velop. When they occur as described
above there can be no doubt about the
trouble, so the only thing to do is to
remove the strainer and clean it.

Effects of War Work
In New Mitchell Skies

"That the new Victory Model Mitchell
car is a great improvement on any
other car ever turned out at the Racine
factory is indicated by the small per
centage of these cars now on the road
that come back to our service station
for adjustment or REPAIRS" say,
George Stowe, president of the Mitchell
Motor Car Company of New York.
This not only means that the car is
well built, but that all the bugs were
worked out of the new model at Racine
before It ever left the factory. As a
result the car not only satisfies our
customers, but has adde9 so much
prestige to the Mitchell name that We
can not get enough cars to meet the
demand.
"Out at the factory they seem to
think that the rigid requirements of
war work for the government mad con
siderable to do with this betterment
Of factory results"
