MUSIC NOTES
WHEN JOHN" SINGS
AT ATLANTIC CITY
By JESSIE MacBRIDE

We know Jules Falk, violinist.
We may salute Jules Falk, con.
cert manager. who Is presenting
John Mccormack on the Steel Pier.
at Atlantic City. next Saturday eve
ming October q. when the famous
tenor will open his season with a
recital in the large ball room on
the Pier.
So many Neutrality-suspicious. are in
Atlantic City that the connection Of
events is interesting. Mr.. Falk Is
closing a series OF 10 musical events
with this concert by Mccormack,
making a brilliant season for this
new "impresario." And as McCor-
mack has not sung in Atlantic City
for eight years, it should be q
record" event.
Mr.. Mccormack, incidentally. will
give but 80 concerts this year.
When one realizes that last year
the Irish bard received about 500
bids" for the 80 concerts, one
realizes the Importance of being
popular!
There's inspira ton in some com.
ments on Mccormack singing
even though we may know all about
1t. Redfern Mason, critic and
philosopher, wrote In San Francisco:
I'm one Of the artists concluding
songs, The Cloths OF Heaven occurs
the line: I have spread my dreams
under your feet These words tell
what John Mccormack has done
| for humanity. He sings his dreams
and pours into them all his God
given attributes of tone and sem
sibility, all the skill which he has
devoted his entire life to acquire"
And that eminent dean Of critics,
w. j. Henderson. admonishes:
'Such career ought to convince
the student that being great
artist pays. And think of the joy
of living such a life. Money cannot
buy that. That sort OF happiness
comes from within"
Estelle wentworth, soprano OF
our city, sang in joint recital with
Paul Althouse, noted tenor of the
Metropolitan, in one of Mr.. Falk's
10 concerts at Atlantic City. The
series also included Julia Claussen
with Henri Scott, both of the Metro
politan; also Greta Torpadie, so

nounced by President Charles Clifton

In announcing these appointments,
President Clifton stated:
This interest of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in motor trans.
port marks the general recognition OF
the economic importance of the COM
mercial vehicle. Shippers for a num-
Der of years have been finding out
that motor transport gave them a
special kind of service, particularly
In regard to prompt delivery. which
was not otherwise available. Because
commercial transport, however, is
made up of large number of private
ly owned units, students of transpor-
tation have been slow to realize the
extent of this movement.
with the best transportation
minds of the country turning their
attention to this service, 1t seems ap.
parent that the use of commercial
units will increase rapidly. There are
now 2,5O0,000 commercial vehicles in
the country. While a large proper.
ton of these are light-duty vehicles,
there has been O. steady march for
ward in the construction of busses
and heavier type units during the

icing the body yourself Keep a
screwdriver handy and tighten the
various screws that you see around
the doors whenever you think they are
loose. Be careful and don't tighten
anything just for the sake of tighten
ing. Remember tnat these screws
are turning into wood and that If
they are turned too much they may
not hold as we'll as when you think
they're loose. In some cheap cars
! these screws are actually driven in
to save time in assembling. IL you
start tightening screws in such cars
you may get into trouble.
1.-The door strikes are tho plates
on which the catches hit when you
close the door. In most closed cars
there are two to each plate-a sort
of safety device. If the door doesn't
close tightly at least 1t will hold on
the first strike and not swing open.
These strikes will wear much longer
IL fabricated a little with vaseline.
Try not to overdo 1t, for it is easy
to soil ones clothing as one brushes
against the strikes on entering the
car.
About every year or so I would
take the door locks out, clean and
lubricate them. If you happen to
forget such service at least make
haste to do the job whenever a door
handle seems to turn hard. That is
sign that the mechanism of the
lock needs lubricant.
Lo0sening Window LITTER.
when a window litter works
stiffiy do not be too hasty to lubricate
It. Sometimes by working the win
dow all the way up and down few
times slowly the mechanism will
ease up. Most manufacturers advise
against lubriCating this part, but they
are thinking about the mess the aver
age owner might make of the up
holstery and the glass If he started TO
shoot oil into the window frame.
Lubricant would be excellent for the
lifters occasionally, provided you do
the lob carefully and do not overdo 1t
to a point where the windows work so
easily that they will drop down Of
their own accord when one is driving
over rough roads.
"rhe hinges Of the hood need oiling
now and again and of course, the
hinges of the doors require attention.
Don't forget the hood clamps. Often
these have springs which will produce
annoying noises if not fabricated.
There is little you or any other
owner can do if the body joints come
loose, but there is much you can do
to prevent It, Summed up, it's a mat
ter of keeping everything you can at
tend to in first-class order. That saves
the body Of the body. Windshields are
a case in point. These are anchored

No. 155-Servicing the Body.

The sight of Smith beaming with

well, my service troubles are at

to have the car Serviced regularly

is reasonable. The idea is logical"
That's a sensible step" l agreed.
mo wonder you looked pleased. Now
adays motorists use their cars so eX-
tensively it is all they can do to keep
things in shipshape around the car
without going through the chassis
service routine every few weeks. All
that is off your mind now and you
are going to reap big rewards. Only.
what are you going to do about the
body?"
why. I'll polish 1t as usual, use
a vacuum cleaner on it occasionally,
clean the windows and rub the spots
off the upholstery" he replied. 1.-THE
body's the simplest part of the car.
That furnished an excellent start
ing point for complete reversal OF
his ideas regarding body care. He
never had considered the necessity of
servicing the body. 1 went on TO
explain the details:
Bodies Are Mechanical.
Modern automobile bodies. espe-
cially closed jobs, are more mechani-
cal than you imagine. They have
trick catches, trick windows, patented
joints and many other things that
can't be taken care of by polishing
and cleaning. You are very particu-
lar to keep the chassis quiet, yet a
great deal of noise originates in the
body. 1t needs mechanical first aid
and greasing the same as the chassis.
Perhaps the most important point
is to keep the body bolts tight. These
are the bolts that hold the body of
the car to the frame. You can reach
them at one end by raising the seat
cushions and, sometimes, under the
mat in the rear compartment. The
other ends are reached inside the
frame channels underneath the car.
Whenever you have the car up
on a greasing rack, I would advise
these with socket wrench.
And it is n good plan TO oil the bolts
at their upper ends as a precaution
against noises from rust.
The most mechanical part of the
body is the typical door. 1t has
hinges. a double strike, a catch, han
dies, lock and window-lifting appa
ratus. All these must be inspected
and kept in good working order. OF
course you can have these things at
tended to at the service station, but
it seems to me that you were going
to overlook them entirely.
with all the chassis work off your
hands, however. 1 would suggest serv-
