"Savoyards" Coming.
SOMETHING worth looking forwa

SOMETHING worth looking forward
to is the coming to this city of
the D'Oyly Carte Opera Co. of Lon
don, almost direct from its sensa-
tional engagement at the Martin Beck
Theater in New York for its all too
brief stay of a single week.
"The Savoyards" is term applied
to an artist who has played in Gilbert
and Sullivan operas with the D'Oyly
Carte Opera Co. at the Savoy Thea
ter, London. Here for over half a
century the operas have been per-
formed exactly in accordance with the
original stage directions of the Gre
ators, w. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sui
livan. The DOyly Carte productions,
as a consequence, are authentic in
every particular and the original Or
chestrations are heard here for the
first time. The only alteration from
the early productions is the redressing
of several productions, and the new
scenery and costumes are the work
of eminent British artists.
To all Americans who have visited
London and to all Englishmen ad-
journing in this neck of the Ameri-
can woods the name D'Oyly Carte
has no small significance. For more
than half century it has been aSso-
ciated with the great English COL
laborators.
Sir William Schwenk Gilbert and
Sir Arthur Sullivan met first in 1871.
No less a songsmith than Frederick
Clay, composer of "I'll Sing Thee
Songs of Araby," brought them to-
gether. But it's a fact that nothing
came of their meeting until Richard
D'Oyly Carte reintroduced them four
years later.

Klemperer to Conduct.

Nlemperer 10 Aonduct.
THE second concert by the Philadel-
phia Orchestra to be given in
Constitution Hall on Thursday eve
ming, February IA, at 8:45, under the
management of T. Arthur Smith
Bureau, will be under the baton of
Otto Klemperer, the distinguished
European conductor. Mr.. Klemperer,
beginning early in January, inaugu-
rated his initial term as guest con-
ductor with the Philadelphia Or
chestra, and will remain for seven
weeks.
One Of the notable characteristics
Of Mr.. Klemperer is his skill as a
builder of programs. His career in
Europe and America has covered
opera and concert to an extraordinary
degree. Born in Breslau in 1885 of
a musical family, his education in
piano and theory began early, first
at the Frankford Conservatory, then
in Berlin. His debut as conductor
was made in 1906 with the production
of Max Rheinhardt's "Orpheus in the
Underworld.
Otto Klemperers first visit to this
country was in January, 1926, as
guest conductor for the New York
Symphony Orchestra. He returned
in a similar capacity during the
latter part of the following season
Last Winter he was on the Pacific
Coast as conductor for the Los
Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. He
| directed the first four weeks of con-
certs in the l934-35 season of the
New York Philharmonic Symphony
| Orchestra.

VAN DUzER PRAISED
FOR TRAFFIC WORK
Keystone Club Holds Director
and Police Chief Blameless
for Fatality Rise.

Declaring that "it is dangerous
quackery to unload upon the director
of traffic and decidedly inadequate
police force the chief blame" for Wash
ington's heavy toll of motor mishaps,
George E. Keneipp, manager of the
Keystone Automobile Club, in an out
spoken statement, asserted that the
present crisis "calls not for sensation
seeking criticism, but for cooperation
in which each street user in the Dis
trict of Columbia must play an active,
conscious and decent part"
Pointing out that mo man or set of
men, can solve the problem by the
waving of a magic wand, the Keystone
official affirmed that efforts to reduce
the accident toll will be fruitless until
all street users, pedestrians, as vel as
motorists, extend a fuller measure of
cooperation to the traffic authorities.
Text of Mr.. Keneipps statement
follows:
"Buck-passing tactics designed to
make goats of the director of traffic
and the police inspector in charge of
the Traffic Bureau provide no solu-
ton for Washington's pressing traffic
problem.
'AS the local automobile accident
toll has continued to rise, there has
been a disposition in certain quarters
to lay major portion of the blame at
the door of the director of traffic and
the Police Traffic Bureau.
Without claiming for the director
of traffic any superhuman perfection
the Keystone Automobile Club believes
that in Mr.. Van Duzer Washington
has an expert and an efficient admin
istrator. These qualities are recog-
nized nationally. Furthermore, the
Keystone Club believes that, despite
/ occasional mistakes, which he always
has shown a willingness to correct
when they have been pointed out, the
present traffic administration has
done exceedingly well in tremendous
ly difficult job"

cleaned and the firing points adjusted
at least twice a year. To be more
specific, this should be done every
5000 miles, in order to remove the
oxide coating. This coating forms on
all spark plugs and gradually builds
up until at 5000 miles it may increase
to a point where it begins to affect
engine performance, causing missing,
loss of power and gasoline waste
without the motorist even being aware
of it. There is only one way to rem
edy this and that is by regularly
having spark plugs cleaned and firing
points readjuSted.
After spark plugs come the breaker
contact points, which must be cleaned
| and adjusted at the time that the
spark plug operation is performed
Right here also comes the matter OF
timing If timing is incorrect the
gas charge is fired at the wrong time
causing wasted gasoline and loss OF
power. Incorrect timing may be
likened to a boy pedaling bicycle
If he puts force on the pedal when it
is well on it's way toward the ground
the force is largely lost because of
the shorter leverage. That is ikened
to late timing. On the other hand,
when the pedal is showed too soon
the result is somewhat similar and
may be likened to early timing. So
as in the case of the bicycle, the
engine must be timed TO fire the gaso-
line mixture when the piston is in the
proper position.
An item of vital importance is the
! air cleaner. sometimes overlooked
The air cleaner keeps dirt and dust
from entering the engine, thereby pro-
longing its life But the cleaner
itself should be cleaned at least twice
year. If it isn't. gasoline consump-
ton will increase, because the air
which enters the carburetor through
the cleaner will be restricted, causing
a richer gas mixture An automobile
engine uses 10000 gallons of air to
every gallon of gasoline This air
enters through the air cleaner If the
cleaner is clogged with dirt the re-
quired air can not get through and do
its job of mixing with the caroline, re-
Sulting in an over-rich mixture. A
good Simile would be, Why use the
more expensive whipping cream in
your coffee when coffee cream will do
as well, usually better?"
Matter of Gasoline.
The matter of gasoline itself enters
into the economical operation of a
car. AS a rule the better gasolines
give more mileage Especially is this
true when operating a car during
colder weather.
Tire preSSureS must be correct, of
course, to give longer life; carbure-
tors must be adjusted and the proper
fabrication must be provided in the
different seasons of the year.
Many additional recommendations
could be added to this list, the engi-
neerS say, but such additions would
concern the more remote or technical
phases of the subject.
These recommendations" they de-
clare. "are the real essential ones, and
may be welcomed by car owners, espe-
cially the new ones, who have put or
intend to put their money into an
automobile"
