RACING USHERS In
LIGHT CAR EPOCH

Racing is the crucible that has
brought about the present perfection
OF the motor car declared j. =.
Brawley Of the Brawlcy Motor Com.
pany today. ''Almost every advance.
ment Of the designers art has come
from the experience gained through
speed and endurance contests.
"Tne quick detachable rim, the use
OF special steels to obtain lightness
and The building OF stream-line bodies
tn decrease wind resistance. are ey.
amples of some of the many al
vancemonts which have come from
the lessons learned in racing which
have benefited every motorist.
AT this years indianapolis race.
for instance, the size Of the motors
was cut almost in half and yet these
cars proved their ability to out-per-
form the larger engines Of other
years. The smaller engines cut the
pit steps in half, and as a result.
the average miles per hour was great
or than last year when the cars
made l06 stops at the pits. This
year only 5S stops We're made.
"The lesson is plain and it is that
mere size can no longer be taken
as criterion Of motor ear perform
ance. TO tho motor car users 1t means
the coming Of an era Of lighter cars
of greater performance. Of more de.
pendablity and of superior econ
omy.
THE Indianapolis race only served
to drive home the lesson already
taught by the achievements Of the
Essex Although the motor of the
Essex is actually smaller than those
used at Indianapolis, its wonderful per-
formance was shown on the Cincin-
natl speedway when it set a new
worlds long distance endurance mark
by averaging more than 60 miles an
hour for 30 hours during which time
it covered @037 miles.
and the Essex which did this was
a stock car in every particular and
had to contend against the worst pos
sible weather conditions"

So it is with impatient expectancy
that Washington playgoers are
awaiting the appearance of Lionel
Barrymore in THE Letter of the

Eugene Brieux. which opens at the
Shubert- -Garrick Theater tomorrow
night. La Robe Rouge"-the red
robe-was the title of the play when
it packed French theaters.
The coveted robe is sought by Mr..
Barrymore, in the role of Mouzon,
who wants to be chief magistrate
of France. He is the head of a
group of scheming men who sacri-
fice others on the altar of law to
