Hectic Pajamas
Get London's Call

London, Nov. 10-United Press by
Mail)--The white-spatted and mo-
nocled man who yesterday gave color
and excitement to the West End OF
London has vanished.
There is an air of languor in the
quiet grays and chaste browns Of the
suits worn by London's young men
today. Mostly coats wrinkle and
trousers sag. Handkerchiefs and
socks. once SO passionately lurid,
have sunk into somnolent shades. The
erstwhile dazzle dude is now but a
blur on the landscape-but only dur
ing the day.
At night the dull chrysalis turns
into brilliant butterfly. Inquiries
made at the best known London hos
iers elected the information that
while the bright-hued handkerchiefs,
socks and ties are drug on the mar
ket. it is exactly the reverse in the
matter of paiamas.
The more brilliant the pajamas the
bigger the sale, and hosiers find IT
difficult to keep pace with the VIC
lerce of hue demanded in masculine
night attire.
The white day spats are forgotten
in the hectic quest for purple bed
socks.

CHICAGO WILL BUILD SUBWAY
 AUTO GARAGES

CHICAGO, Oct. 23-The plan of former Mayor Carter Harrison in 1918, to relieve the traffic congestion of the city by parking automobiles in subway garages has been revived and is re- ceiving more attention than heretofore.
 Mayor IIarrisons idea was to dig underneath Grant park on the lake front, for the construction of seven garages each the size of city block. A four-foot layer of loam on the con- crete roof would permit of the main tenance of the park practically as if was before
 Each garage would have a capacity of 225 ears. The entrance and exit would be on opposite sides so that traffic would be one woy. On entering the motorist would receive the number of his stall and the key to a locker in the parking space for storage of loose articles.
 The original estimate of the cost of such a system was $125,000 for each garage.

That is the opinion of a writer in The Lamp, official organ of the Stand ard Oil company of New Jersey, who adds that such d motor car could be made to average from 2 to 30 miles to each gallon of fuel used.
 The United States is the only coun- try in the whole world that insists on high powered, heavy motor cars" says the writer Tt is time that we stopped it. The man who gets from six to eight miles from a gallon of gasoline in order to have a reserve power for occasional use that will enable him to push his car along the road at from 50 to 75 miles an hours. is an offender against the public good.
 For all practical purposes an auto mibile that makes 25 to 30 miles an hour would serve every need Such

a car could be made to average better than 25 miles and probably closer to 30 miles on every gallon of gasoline"
 An additional gain in the efficiency of the motor car, says this writer. could be had from the use of a higher gear ration and a fourth speed.
 Under ordinary driving conditions" he explains, a six X-cylinder, 30 horse power motor with a car doing 20 miles an hour will make from TOO to 1000 revolutions a minute. depending on the gear ratio and the diameter of the wheels Under these conditions the engine is operating at low efficiency. If the car were equipped with a fourth geared-up speed for level roads, the motor speed in this case could be brought down to 800 R. P. NJ. with resultant marked gain in efficiency"
