Keith 's-Brooke Johns.

Brooke Johns packed Keith's to the
doors last night on his initial appear
ance as producer as well as enter
tainer and the young man made good
in every phase Of his musical act. En-
thusiasm over his success ran wild,
for 1t was clearly established that
as "topliner" he ran with the best.
A big factor in Mr.. Johns success is
that he knows vaudeville audiences
from every angle and understands
how to meet their demands. He in
troduced quite a collection of new
songs, majority of which were writ
ten for him, and they shot over the
footlights with a whiz-bang that
could not be resisted. He intends to
take his band of musicians with him
to Broadway and strike out for him
self. There is no apparent reason why
he shouldn't please the New Workers
Just as well as he has pleased the
local crowd. The Wardman Park
Hotel Orchestra was a big factor in
Johns success. It also is going to
make Broadway sit up and take
notice. Brooke was the recipient OF a
large bouquet of American roses at
the end of his act and he thanked the
donor and his friends for his splendid
reception.
Another high-class act is presented
by Lillian LeitZel, the little circus
girl who nearly twists her arm off in
her mad whirling through the air on
the flying rings She has ben here be-
fore. Her work Is both sensational
and original and always assures her
O pleasant welcome.
Sully and Thomas, a new couple
fresh from the movie field, made an
outstanding hit with funny capers,
songs and dances. Both sing well and
work fast, and they faced barrage
of continuous laughter. Ward and
Van are back again with their harp
and fiddle act.
Jeanette and Harry Shields opened
the program with a splendid dancing
act; Stanelli and Douglas, direct from
London. made a big hit, as fiddle

EVEN HEAD OF
COLLEGE CAN'T
OBTAIN SEATS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21.-
With the big game of the Pa
cifie coast football season-the Cali
fornia- Stanford contest-about "a
hours away, the San Francisco bay
district could take little else seri-
ously.
The game will decide the coast
championship.
Betting odds changed over night
from even money to 10 to ~ on
California, according to Tom Kyne,
betting commissioner. This was due
to multiplicity of causes-word
that Ernie Nevers, the big Stanford
fullback, might not play at all; the
disqualification yesterday of Nor
mon Cleaveland, Stanford's fastest
halfback; and to a scarcity of Stan
ford money compared to that offer
ed ON California, Kyne said
The scramble for tickets was one
of the chief features of the pre-
game activities. Five thousand
alumni and stadium subscribers
many of whom already had paid for
their tickets, have no seats.
A section has been fenced i'll on
the hill above the great stadium and
from it, if they have good field
glasses, these favored ones can watch
the game The stadium seats 10000.
About 10000 more can be taken care
of on the hills, in tree tops and roofs
of houses.
Many stories are going around
about this battle over tickets Pres
ident W. w. Campbell of the Uni
versity of California has had his
application for additional seats sent
back to him, just like an ordinary
person--unfilled. Three members of
the board of regents of California
have received the same treatment.
Earl McNeeley, hero of the world s
series, spent 10 hours yesterday try
ing to find himself a ticket. He
made the world series famous but
he won t see his home state teams
play football. Rumors of tickets
III the hands of spectators are 60
ing around. Stores of sales being
made at $50 pair have been heard.
1t is known seme folks have more
tickets than others, but the scarcity
OF seats at any price seems to indi-
cate no large block of tickets has
gone into improper hands.

STUDEBAKERS HOUSE
HISTORIC VEHICLES
Collection in Company Building,
South Bend, Ind, Represents
Every Phase Of Construction.
SHOWS ADVANCE IN IDEAS
Oldest Exhibit Was Gift to
Lafayette in 1924.

A collection of historic vehicles,
probably the most complete in the
country and representing every phase
of American vehicular development
for more than a century, Is housed in
the administration building of the
Studebaker corporation at South
Bend, Ind. This is a permanent mu-
scum, and is viewed by thousands OF
visitors yearly.
Studebakers long association with
the progress of transportation in
America has enabled it to preserve
these valuable specimens, which show
the advancements that have been
made.
The oldest exhibit is the carriage
which was rendered by the United
States government to Gen. Marquis de
Lafayette upon his visit to America
in 1924. Its tonneau is set high in
the air. and one can imagine it was
only perhaps with a special lacNey to
assist him that the general climbed
conveniently to the seat or descended
to the ground.
Carriage Owned by Lincoln.
President Lncoln's carriage reflects
a tendency toward more practical
than the carriages of Presid ents
Grant and Harrison, which were built
fifteen to twenty-five years later and
which also form a part of the Stude-
baker museum, President Lincoln's
carriage shows a. decided improve
ment over the towering vehicle used
by Gen. Lafayette. Special historic
value is attached TO President Lin
coins carriage because IL is the one
used by him on the night he was
assa ssinated.

coaches. of Presidents Grant and Har-
rison the exhibit shifts to the frs,

the past with the direct object OF
solving the special problems peculiar
to this type of engine as compared
with gas and oil engines. 1t Is only
due to the efforts of one or two in
Vestigators that our present knoWl-
edge OF the phenomena exists.
Probably one of the men who has
made the closest study of the phe-
nomena and changes which take place
within cylinder of the internal com
buStion engine is Rollin White. Much
of the progress in modern motor car
development and tendencies to better
refinements is due to this eminent
designer
Mr.. HeasIet points out that the
word efficiency" AS used in connec-
tion with the modern automobile mo-
tor, is not only very much abused, but
often enormously used. He goes fur
ther and states that there are so
many different kinds and degrees OF
automotive efficiency. and that unless
one is properly related to the other
the term is very misleading.
In order to compare the perform
ances of engines differing widely in
size and type, working under differ
ent conditions of speed and with va
thermal efficiency to the ideal stand
ard efficiency, and which is called
the relative efficiency" provides a
valuable basis for comparisons and
references to be made.
What the motorist wishes to know
Is the overall efficiency of any given
power plant, and when asked to out
line the proper design and qualities
that go to make for as near perfec-
tion in d motor as it is possible to OBJ
tain MIR. Heaslet said:
THE essentials for maximum effici-
ency results are: Cd Suitable mix
ture trength for obtaining the maxi
mum effective pressures; (2) rapid ig-
milton, adequate in intensity; CD high
volumetric efficiency, but suitable
valve and port, carburetor, areas and
design; D high compression pres
sures: 90 proper inlet and exhaust
valve timing and suitable operating
means for working the valves; (6)
lightness of all reciprocating and
working parts; 90 proper balance of
all rotating and recirocating parts; CS)
good fabrication: 90 adequate jacket
water cooling: G0) minimum Of fric-
tional and pumping losses: GD suit
able quality of materials employed
for all working parts"
