With much eclat and per-
spiration, De Wolf Hopper and
his merry jongleurs are this
week reviving "The Prince Of
Pilsen" at Polls.
Since longer ago than Addi-
SON Sims best boy friend can
remember, nobody charged with

quite so definite q vogue in
so short time as has Mr.. Hop

that will especially delight the

shows a decent stance, though

given it qualities that delight.

gives memory of what used to

bustles and the ministrations
of Lydia Pinkham.
Therein lies its double-edged
attraction. We young 'uns,
you know, like to feel that all
lines of endeavor have made
progress and that our own regi-
ment is the best one the world
has had so far.
On the other hand, "The

engine or the car itself.
That new car over there Is as
perfect as any car of It's price class
could be, but the owner thinks it
makes too much noise at thirty-fiy
He claims it sounds like a ten-ton
truck at that speed. Come to think
of IL | remembered that he had been
drivin' for five years with a speedo-
meter that always registered about
ten miles an hour faster than the
old tub was goin'. He was used TO
the big figures on the speedometer
and the quiet engine. At the speed
he was actually goin' the new car
would be whole lot quieter.
Checking up one speedometer l
found that at thirty the car was
only goin' twenty-five, while at forty
the actual speed was twenty eight.
Now If you get a driver used to that
sort of business he's bound 10 be a
little annoyed when his new car
sounds a bit noisy at an actual speed
Of forty. He thinks he is Ioin'
about fifty-fye, judgin' by the noise
and vibration.
In changin' from one car TO an
other it's a good plan to check up
the speedometer. Better still to
check up on it durin' a demonstra-
ton. Don't be like a chap who
comes in here every few days with
the complaint that his new car
hasn't any speed. He always wants
me TO set the timing ahead. The
trouble Is he's not used to havin' a

his speed. He'll get over it, If he
doesn't get the car out of kilter in

Willys-Knight Includes
New Manchester Balancer

Complete elimination of the an
noyance of all motor vibration IN its
Willys-K knight models is achieved by

British invention, as standard equip
ment, in all future production.
This remarkable device, which has
been the sensation of European
mot oring circles for the past year,
has been used with phenomenal sue

obtain the American rights to the

of outstanding genius.
Ever since the first days of the
multiple cylinder motor car, auto
motive engineers have endeavored 10
conquer vibration. In the begin
ming when the multiple cylinder car
had replaced the old one-and two
luneers, the vibration in the engine
passed almost unnoticcd. The
transition from one to multiple
cylinders was such an improvement
in itself that the latter type of en-
CINE was regarded as approximately
perfection. It was the introduction
of the closed car that necessitated
greater refinement in the engine

Back To The Corner

Why does a traffic cop stand In
the center of a street intersection?
Why does be not stand where he
can see all the traffic all the time?
What weakness in traffic reguIa-
ton results in increased congestion
where intersections are under police
control?
Thousands OF motorists are rails
ing such questions in the hope OF
being able to add something to that
store Of motor knowledge which
may lead 10 less congestion and
greater simplicity for traffic. It is
contended by many that the con-
ventional regulation system places
the traffic cop in a position where
he is unable to see all lines of ap-
preaching traffic all the time and
where he is thus unable to direct
such traffic with reasonable
amount OF efficiency.
Much credence is given to this
opinion by reason of a suggestion
that the traffic cop should maintain
a lookout post on one of the street
corners rather than in the center of
the intersection, operating the stop
go sign electrically. In such posi-
ton, It Is coptended, he would be
able 10 direct traffic with the
greatest amount OF efficiency. obviat-
ing all the mistakes traffic officers
now make by reason of not being
able to see through the back of their
heads.
The direction signals in the center
Of the street would have the neces-
fary attachments for left turns or
any special regulations covering the
particular crossing, according to the
plan. Semaphores would be re-
movable so as not to offer an OBJ
stacle to fire apparatus.
IT Is generally recognized that
while traffic control makes for
safety It frequently increases con
gestlon, and accordingly anv plan
that aims 70 help the traffic cop
overcome his shortcomings should he
given n chance to prove It's worth.
