Gently commit while walking in her

with brilliant music, and the result
was an opera which is still popular
under the name of La Somnambula."
Mr.. Swan has modernized the same
situation, stripped it Of all vestige Of
pathos, added to its complications,
and the result is she Walked in
Her Sleep" diverting and laughable
farce; also it is clean. Instead OF
the village maiden OF La Somnam-
bula' who trips upon fragile foot
ing over a whirling millwheel, Mr.
Swan offers a New York girl, Daphne
Arnold, who prowls about the six
teenth story of fashionable apart
raent hotel. In her prowlings Daphne
displays an economy of garb, but
this economy is less noticeable be-
cause of the added attraction of a
big picture hat worn atop of a lovely
head of hair. She unwittingly incurs
in masculine bedrooms. The princi-
pal added but unconscious trait in
the twentieth century exponent of
somnambulism is propensity for
taking away other peoples property,
after the manner of shoplffter.
The story may be summed up by
saying that Daphne's. midnight strolls

HOW TO PASS CARS
ON THE PUBLIC ROAD
Supervisor Watts Gives Timely Advice
as to Laws and Customs for Driving.


as to Laws and Customs for Driving.
Automobile drivers and other driv-
ers as well, said Supervisor Watts yes
tcrday, should be more observant of
the laws and customs in regard to
passing on the highways. In travelling
over the county in pursuit Of his offc-
ial business, said Mr. Watts, he has
noticed that great many people do
not adhere strictly to the rule Of keep
ing to the right in passing and consc-
qucntly he has noted some very mar
row escapes from collisions.
When 4 driver Of an automobile or
wagon meets another on the road said
Mr.. Watts, the drivers Of both vehicles
should invariably turn to the right or,
whore necessary, one or the other
should stop. Where an automobile
tune faVOrS the wagon With the better
road the driver of the wagon should
not be expected to turn to the left TO
help the autcmobiliSt avoid a Jolt. If
no Other way is to be found. the auto
mobile should stop until the good road
is open.
There is another matter, too, said
Mr. Watts, and that is in regard 10 the
passing OF one vehicle by another go
ing in the same direction. When the

j. W. MCKEE IN CITY,
One Thousand Trucks Sold by His
Concern at KenOSha, Wis.


Mr.. J. w. McKie, former automobile
dealer Of this city, is spending several
days here in attendance upon court
1t will be recalled, as published in The
Advertiser several months ago, that
Mr.. McKie had on foot plans for the
manufacture of automobiles in some
middle western city. Asked about the
matter yesterday, he said that his
plans were rapidly maturing although
streak OF good fortune, if an order
for a thousand trucks may be called
that, had caused them to change their
plans somewhat. Mr.. McKie said that
his company, which is amply financed,
had just taken over a large truck man
ufacturing plant and had intended re-
modelling it to meet the needs Of a
pleasure car plant, when representa-
tivos Of the Amrican Bell Telephone
Company sent in an order for q thouS
and such trucks as the company had
made during the war; the total order
being for nearly $4,000, 100000, the
largest order for trucks ever placed
by any concern in this country. The
plant is located at KcnOSha, Wis, and
Mr.. Mcliic states that his company re-
ccivcd considerable publicity whcn the
news Of the big order came out.
