AUTOMOBILE SHOW
ATTRACTING MANY
Attendance Figures Expect
ed to Break All Records
Before Saturday.

With attendance figures mounting
daily, the auto show, now being held
at Convention Hall, is expected to
break all existing records for this
city before it closes on Saturday
night.
The first two nights of the show.
Saturday and Monday. have been un-
fortunate in that the weather has
been bad. but in spite of this proba-
bly, more than five thousand Washing
tonians have already visited the hall
to look over the latest creations of
the automobile manufacturers art.
The show is we'll arranged and ac-
cessible. The aisles are wide enough
to permit many people to pass with
out crowding. The cars are arranged
in an attractive manner in the various
booths.
Probably every firm represented at
the show has had at least one order
for a car, due directly to the display.
or has secured prospects who will buy
in the near future.
An instance of the value of display
and the interest taken by the public
in the affair is related by one of the
dealers.
On Saturday night. the opening. one
of several men who looked over his
car seemed particularly interested.
and promised to drop into the show
room to get demonstration. On
Sunday morning. bright and early, the
dealer had occasion to go to the
showroom after some papers. and was
very much surprised to find his pros
pect standing at the window sur
veying the car, although he knew that
the showroom would not be open on
that day.
This instance shows that the public
is actively interested in automobiles
and still more interested in maxi
its pick from a large number of cars
displayed under one roof.

"rHE OLD WEST" COMING TO
~. REX ON SATURDAY

@"Nothing like the old days, Tom,
and now that Pm getting near the
end of my rope, I'd give ANYTHING
Pm worth to see them again." said
Judge Brand to his secretary, Tom
Robbins. .~, .,.
9S"'Fraid there's nothing like Mug
get Notch in the west nowadays,
Judge" answered Tom.
mo, I don't suppose there is. But
they, say that money will buy any
thing, and heaven knows I've got
enough of the stuff. Suppose I send
YOU out there with letter Of credit
to reconstruct Nugget Notch, gam
bling, saloon, general store, and all
for me. Think you could manage
it?", ..:,t-
"I could try-".and that was the
beginning of Toms search for the
Old West of the Judges dream.
After two months search, Tom dis
covers "Castle's 40 Camp" which is
at present penniless. Tom arranges
with Castle and the Scamp" starts
for Nugget Notch, abandoned years
ago when the gold petered out.
Tom Robbins is attracted by Lady
Ann, and they become the best OF
friends, but "Gentleman jim" Ray
ner always interrupts their conversa-
tions and warns Pa Bobbett to keep
Lady Ann away from the tendertoot.'
Quarters are apportioned; the Bob
belts are to run the general store and
"Gentleman Jim" has charge of the
gambling hall. I In. spite of their eff
forts the Judge is deeply disappoint-
ed when he alights from the decreplt
stage, because they do not shoot his
silk hat off his head. The Judge be-
gins to shoot things up and Rayner,
in the confusion, accidently drops
nugget chain, which Robbins picks
up and returns. Raynerr;is very
angry over the incident.
Some time later the Judge notices
the nugget chain around Lady AIMS
neck. Bobbett tells the Judge that
the necklace belonged to his old part
ner, and that he has spent years look
ing for Hugh Adams daughter to
give her her share of his fortune.
That night Lady Ann comes cry
ing to the house and asks the Judge
to advance her $4,000. She says
Jim Rayner is threatening Pa Bob
bett and that the latter was about to
kill himself when Ma Bobbett stop
ped him. The Judge promises to pay
the money to Jim if it is necessary.
On their way home Tom pushes Jim
out of the way and continues on with
Lady Ann. Later Tom is suddenly
grabbed and dragged away. In t.
morning he finds himself in the bot
tom of a pocket in the hills.
The rest of the story is best told
by the picture, which comes to the
Rex theater Saturday.

Candles on Birthday Cakes.

The custom Of placing candles on a
birthday cake-one for each year
comes from Germany. The Germans
placed thick one in the center, called
Lebenslicht, the light Of life. OnlN he
or she who declares his or her birth
day may put out the light of life; it
is unlucky if done by any other member
Of the family. The lights are symbols
of life and its portions the years. For
persons advanced in years one candle
must do duty, as otherwise too many
would be required.
