The Street Called Straight" pic

The Street Called Straight" pic
of the novel by Basil King,
has been made at the Goldwyn Stu
dios and willbe presented at the
Palace airdone, beginning tonight. 1t
is the second ipictufe which the Emil
nent Authors organization has made.
The story differs from that of the
average film production in that it's
theme involves mental rather than
physical complications. "The Street
Called Straight" has deep thought
underlying it, and appeals to the In
telligence of the spectator as we'll as
to his emotions. :
The clearness with which the points
OF the theme are hammered home,
and the subtle, convincing manner in
which the significance Of the situation
is brought out, are due to Wallace
W0rseley who directed the production.
Technically the picture is as close
to perfection as MODERN motion pic
ture art can make it. The sets repre-
sent perfectly the high station in
life occupied by the Characters; and
the interior art decorations suggest
the culture and refinement to be found
in many old American families. Beau

TREADS THE THING
WITH AN AUTO TIRE

! The tread of a tire, is the part
(which bears upon the road. 1t sustains
ilohe brunt Of the battle, and its capa
ilcity for endurance is of greater inn
! portance to car owners than type de-
,lsigns, or appearance. This capacity
for endurance depends upon the quail
| ty and quantity of rubber used in the
tread, the accuracy Of. compromising
and the manner of inflammation. The
tread that will wear longest and give
the least trouble is characterized by
"life," or residence, while it is at the
same time exceedingly tough.
! Pure rubbtr must be mixed with
other substances to render it tough
Planough to withstand road service. In
the making of this tread compound
the quality and quantity of the rub
ber and its proportion to the other in
gradients is important. The best
treads have just the right amount Of
pure rubber and are generously thick
and heavy.
| The method of vulcanization that is
used affects very decidedly the tough
ness and elasticity of the tread. The
means employed by the Spreckles
"Savage" Tire Company-the wrapped
tread, single cure open-steam method
of vulcanizing-successfully accom-
plishes the curing the entire tire, in
Guiding the tread, in open operation
making an inseparable uni and reduc-
ing the danger of tread separation.
The open steam cure that is used in
this process makes possible a tread
that is tougher and more resilient than
can be produced by other methods. The
steam comes in contact with the rub
Der and cures it evenly and thorough

Paid advertisements for AmericaniZa-

This inquiry was begun for the

He found that in some instances

for un-American undertakings. Dur
ing the> war many such bogus efforts
were carried on, with some success,
and the belief in the power Of propa-
ganda seemed to be fixed~in the pro-
grams of selfish interest, he says.
with clever publicity material and
agencies, the people were fooled into
supporting certain causes or in op-
posing others by the glamour of pa
triotism. Reactionary groups which
had never done anything to indicate
interest in the promotion of good ci-
tizenship suddenly arrayed them
selves in the livery of Americanism
and went forth to interpret American
ideals to immigrant peoples. Under
meath the cloak, however, it was

the latter part of last week from
Madison where they attended

which has been in session IN
Madison for the past week. The
school was one of the largest
ever held in this state and a good
deal of valuable information was
gained by the Bayfield, County
delegation.
1t was the opinion of the
school that road building the
coming season would not be on
as extensive a scale as was ex-
pected on account of the diff
Guilty in getting materials and
the scarcity of labor.
