COmieal Acts Well Played-
So uniformly good was the entire

Miss Elsie Thiede, as lady Marian
FitZWalter, was especially attra ctiVe
in the first act when she appeared

Tom Burton in the role OF the sher-

in an excellent manner he is
comedian with good singing voice
1t may be remembered that he orig
mated the part OF the Scorchman in
during the second act. when he and
sir Guy Of Gisbourne- appeared in
the Sherwood forest TO capture the
doughty Robin Hood, was particu-
larly worthy Of note as was his lead

specialized in cars of the $3,000 class and after the experience thus gained determined to build a lighter medium priced car which would embody all the essential qualities of the higher priced models.
 One of the peculiar features about the Elcar fours and sixes Is that, with the exception of the motor, the cars are almost identical. Aside from the engines the chassis of the four and that of the six are just the same. The units have been made to slkillfully This in itself is a radical departure in the construction of two types oi motor cars with different engines.
 Another feature of the new 1920 chassis is that throughout it conforms to the Society of Automotive Engin- eers' standard specifications, permit ting with perfect ease, in emergencies anywhere the substitution of stand ardized parts or units not reguarly used in the construction of the Elcar. The frame throughout is such as to secure the utmost rigidity and strength without undue weight, and is such a frame as the factory would put into a $5,000 car according to their latest announcements.
 In both the four and six models, the motor, charging generators, starting motor. clutch and transmission, or change speed gears for a single rigid unit. with every moving part except the cooling fan housed in. Ample ana convenient openings into the various housings are provided for ready ex- posture to parts which are at all likely to need adjustment or other attention. This unit is mounted in the chassis on a three point suspension, according to the best and almost universal practice. Both motors are of the "L' head type, the type of which more are used than all others combined. and the type best adapted for the practical. every day service car, because of it's simplicity and little attention required to keep it at full efficiency.

and refine the finished product.
 '.Of course, we reserve the right to be dissatisfied with "Exide" batteries ourselves. Snug satisfaction did not put "Exide'' batteries where they are and would not keep them there.
 "sEXide' batteries are better 6ls year than last, and will, we hope, be better next year than this. We shall certainly do our level best to make them so.
 But to return to the subject of serv- ice Satisfaction-a good battery-even, as we believe the 'Exide' to be, the best battery-is only the first though the most important step, towards good battery service. Something more is necessary. Sornnknine that the most conscientious battery maker cannot supply. That something is proper use.
 Plainly stated. we find that while motorists have said 'good-by crank with unanimous and heartfelt satis- faction, some of them have overlooked How do you do, storage battery
 "They have gladly speeded the back breaking wrist cracking task of hand cranking, but some have sometimes forgotten to welcome, with proper con- sideration, the silent servant, on whose willing and efficient back the burden has been placed.
 These motorists forget that the cranking job is just as hard as it ever was; inAfact, harder. because automo bile engineers have taken advantage of the greater power of electric crank ing to dispense with some of the things that, in the days of hand cranking, permitted easy starting, but detracted from engine flexibility. Or if they appreciate the severity of the work of the starting battery on modern gas car, they do not realize that, in return for what it does for them, the starting battery must be paid regular wage of attention and should not be unreasonably and un- necessarily handicapped by abusive conditions.
 Such motorists have trouble with their help and the trouble is apt to be pretty serious because a storage battery lacks the instinct of self preservation and, however, poorly nourished, poorly housed, overworked and neglected, will not go on strike as long as it retains an atom of vii tality, but will literally kill itself in a praiseworthy but hopeless effort to stay on the job.
 All of which is merely by way of preface to the paramount feature of perfect battery service The 'Exide' battery station has, week after week and month after month, advertised the fact that they were at all times willing to test and inspect any ones battery, irrespective of make. There is, there fore, no good reason why a person should take the chance of having a battery ruined for lack of attention when it can be had without any cost and with very little trouble"

will be done if the pedal is pressed

will be done if the pedal is pressed longer?
 A. The starting motor is ismply an electric motor with quick acting screw thread on it's armature shaft. Over this threaded portion fits gear. This gear is threaded on the inside, so hat it can progress along the screw. When the motor turns over the gear is forced along the screw and into mesh with teeth on the flywheel. Just as soon as the engine starts the gear is automatically kicked out of engage ment. If you keep your foot on the starter pedal too long you are likely to break the starting motor pinion, or gear, or at least cause it to jam.
 e. I understand that the Steven Duryea car is, to be made again. By whom and where?
Arizona republican., 1920-01-11

Following the arrival of the FIcar in Phoenix many 'inquiries have been made as to just what the car is and by whom it is made. The following synopsis of the birth ot the car and it's evolution has been furnished by the Roamer Motor Sales company, state distributors.
 Twelve years ago after 35 years of fine carriage building, the Elkhart Carriage and Motor Car company be- gan the manufacture of automobiles. No sooner were the new cars an nounced than letters were received at the factory of the following general import.
 T want one of your cars One of my earliest pleasures was the privilege O. riding in a carriage made by your com pany. This possession was a source of pride and joy to the whole family, and one that gave faithful service during all the years I was growing to man hood"
 The sentiments expressed in those letters revealed the secret of the i'm mediate and sustained popularity of the Elcars. They inherited the volume of good will and confidence that the previous product had made.
 The life of this company covers much of the period that saw develop ment of the vehicle industry in Amer ica. It originated many designs which became standard throughout the coun- try. It was prepared by exceptional experience to turn to the making of automobiles with notable success and produce cars that have been marked by beauty and distinction of design and by sterling quality.
 It is the company opinion that a vehicle is a vehicle, no matter how propelled and that there are certain fundamental principles. both of con- struction and design that apply to every type. Experience they claim counts in the building of motor ve- hicles is it does in every other en- deavor.

PROBLEM OF HOW
 ID START AUTOS FINALLY SOLVED

Away back in the days when whip sockets or no whip sockets" was still a point in automobile design and the sight. (not to mention the sound and smelD of a gasoline automobile was the signal for a curbstone chorus of Got a horse" the motoring world hung up a big sign in its front window. a sign that was destined to remain there for more than a decade, and which read somewhat as follows:
 HELP WANTED
 A life job is open to a good,
 husky, willing slave able to crank
 an obstinate automobile engine at
 high speed for an indefinite pe-
 riod- Must be sound in wind,
 limb and disposition; be on the
 job "A hours a day and 365 days
 in the year and willing to work
 for board. room and not more than
 the price of a box of cigars per
 annum.
 There were many aspirants for that job Coiled springs, compressed air tanks, tanks of inflammable gases were tried. but found wanting. It be- gan to look as though the place never would be satisfactorily filled. Then. about five years ago. a candidate that had been frequently suggested but never until then seriously considered, was brought out, groomed for the or deal and sent in for a try-out
 That candidate was the storage bat tery. in a highly specialized form, and working through the medium of an electric motor.
 The result is written in automobile hfstory-down came the sign-the place was filled.
 Any lingering doubt as to the fit ness Of the new helper was dispelled by the fact that, not content with doing al almost ideal job of cranking. the storage battery, with the other parts of the electric system of which it was the heart, was also able to do an ideal job of lighting, ignition and signalling
 About three million starting and lighting batteries, in round numbers are now at work for American mo- torists-
 Of ''Exide" starting batteries alone over one million are in service at the time this is written.
 Everything considered, the service record that is being made by these batteries is marvelously good Ger tafnly very, very few of those who employ them would even consider re- turning to the old order of things. And this is what Tom Spaulding has to say about them:
 "Now the ninety and nine "Exide" users who are safe in the fold of good battery service give us no concern but there remains a small but still important percentage who are still astray on the hillside. and who worry

 We feel that we are justified be- cause we have every incentive and every facility and are making every effort to build the best possible start
