housing due to abrupt bends and
then the speedometer will fail to
register. When trouble occurs look
first at the shaft and see that 1t has
as few bends in it is possible, and
these long and sweeping.
Another thing to watch is in max
ing change from one size tire TO
another on the wheel that drives
the speedometer. This will make
the readings inaccurate. Even a
change to oversize will cause mac
curacy. For instance. on one make
of instrument the makers announce
that IL a change Is made from "a
by 4-inch tires to IS by "A, the 6S-
toothed gear used in the former will
have to be changed to a 70-tooth
gear.
1t sometimes happens. where the
driving gears are of fbre, that a
noise is caused by loosening Of the
parts. BY using little strong
laundry soap the gears may be
swollen again, so that they mesh
letter. 1t is a good thing to give
the moving parts a little oil from
time to time, but where the gears
run exposed this will not be very
effective.
In some cases after the speedom-
eter has been. in service for some
time the dial begins to fuctuate, a
condition induced by vibration. In
some instances this becomes a
chronic condition. but again It may
simply be due to looseness in the
fastenings and connections, which
the service station will hx in a
jiffy. II the speedometer suddenly
fails to register mileage and speed.
the first place to examine Is the
driving shaft. Disconnect the hex-
ible shaft at the head and, with the
front wheel being revolved. see II
the shaft revolves without jerking
II the shaft runs smoothly the trou-
bic lies in the instrument itself.
II happens sometimes that a link in
the shaft Is broken, so that when
the part is disconnected in this way
he broken ends will catch at in
tervals. While the shaft is discon-
nected turn II in the head and see
II it makes the dial indicate.

Telnplar Reduces
Price, But Betters
Car Mechanically

The Templar Motors company. OF
Cleveland. Ohio. has just announced
a price reduction Of $500 on all open
models and $500 on ALI closed mod
els. effective July /.
The announcement also states
that regardless of the big reduc-
tion In price. the new Templar is
far superior mechanically and ar
tisticaliy.
The five-passenger touring. the
four-passenger sportette and two-
passenger touring roadster will sell
at s2.3s5 and the passenger
sedan and coupe at s3.1s5.
The new models are striking in
appearance and, the mechanical de-
veiopnnent was certainly proven
when Tempiar won the Yosemite
economy run sweepstakes by de-
feating 81 Of the country's most
popular makes Of cars.

DeeIutehine at Corners,

While il is a wise precsution to
throw out the clutch when rounding
a sharp corner, it also has bene-
ficial effect upon the tires. When
ever the car tends TO skid, due to
its DETECTION from a straight course
a cross strain is brought to bear
on the tire treads. which is directly
proportional to the weight of the
vehicle and the radius Of the curve
and proportional to the square of
its velocity. II the power is applied
in rounding a curve the tendency to
rip of the tires is further aggra-
waited by the backward drag due to
traction II the clutch is released,
however, that factor Is eliminated
and the strain Is thereby reduced.

TIRE MAKERS SEE
BETTER BUSINESS
Signs of Times Promote
Optimism, Say Heads
of Industry.

Excellent volume of sales to
dealers, increase in gasoline con-
sumption in the United States over
March, 1920, and a big reduction in
manufacturers stocks in the last
six months. indicate to tire manu-
facturers that business is showing
healthy and steady increase.
Gasoline consumption is good
index OF the number of automobiles
in operation. and also of tire con-
sumption. Statistics show that 35
per cent more gasoline was con-
sumed in this country in March
Tran in the same month last year
Sales to tire dealers by the Good
year Tire and Rubber company
during the last week in May were
10 per cent greater than in the
largest previous week of 1921 and
greater than the corresponding
week last year.
Another encouraging and signin-
cant fact Is that a recent survey
shows that manufacturers have re-
,duced tire inventories more than 81
per cent since November, which
was the low level in tire sales and
probably the month of largest in
NeHlOEics VI HHlsHcu pTOuuSl II ~
estimated that in November manu-
facturers had approximately seven
months stock on hand. but in April
these tire inventories had been re-
ducod to approximately two and a
half months supply, which is not
in excess OF normal in some of the
more widely used sizes. Thus the
ougbear OF excessive stocks has
been removed.
Manufacturers do not claim that
the tire business is booming, be-
cause car makers have reduced pro-
duction since April, when Goodyear
showed an increase of l25 per cent
in original equipment business, due
to the spring spurt on the part of
the car-buying public. But dealers
business Is showing a steady and
healthy increase. doubtless because

SOME OLD LONDON THEATERS
District Of Shoredtch Had the First
Building Erected for Purely
Dramatic Purposes.

There was a time, shortly after the
first theater was opened in London.
when the opposition TO the new form
OF entertainment was SO great THAI
an ordinance was passed by parla-
ment for the compulsory closing OF
these palaces of amusement" and
making 1t crime to be present as a
spectator at play,
This was in 1912, when only two
theaters existed in London The first
building specially erected for dramat-
ic purposes was built by an actor,
James Burbage, at Shoreditch, in 1876,
and called the Theater. A year or so
later second theater known as the
Curten was opened also at Shore
ditch, and these two playhouses ca
tered to London audiences until the
suppression Of the theaters.
When plays were once more per
mitted several new theaters opened,
including the Globe at Southwark,
which was built by James Burbage,
the Rose and the BlaclCfriars and
WhtefriarS theaterS.
Probably the most luxurious of these
early theaterS was the Fortune, built
by Edward Alleyn, an actor, in 1899.
and so chriStened because it cost its
owner the then fabulous sum, includ'

The only illumination during the per
fOrmance was that afforded by candle
light, gas being unknown until 1917,
when the first performance by gas
light was given at Drury Lane.
