also permit mounting of Standard

axles are set back, and this, together
with the relocation of rear axles and
cabs, contributes to greatly improved
load distribution, not only Of body and
payload, but Of gross weight as well.
Thus loads on front and rear tires
are more uniform. relieving the usually

The other daily runs were under 400
miles as general rule.

Fuel Is Wasted.

IT is little late In the year for the
= information, perhaps, but for fu-
ture guidance It might be said that
heating a home to a temperature Of
Is degrees consumes about 20 per cent
more fuel than II the house is kept at
10 degrees. Increase Of heat to 72
degrees increases fuel consumption 7
per cent.
These data were announced by the
Department Of Agriculture, which
happens to be charged with the duty
of testing oil-burning equipment.
1t is pointed out that too great a
temperature not only Is wasteful OF
fuel, but causes discomfort and sus-
ceptibility to illness during the VIM
ter months.

lines, chambers OF commerce and so
ont has become far more than
this. In words Of simple content, they
see money in it. And plenty.
Some hint of the profit which these
interests envision was given a Senate
committee few months before the
projects start, during hearings on
bill ito encourage travel to and within
the United States" This measure, lost
in the press of larger matters, pro-
posed merely to establish a Federal
travel promotion agency with small
initial appropriation to win for this
country some Of the great sums being
spent, even in the depression, on travel
by Americans abroad, but more large
ly by foreign6s in countries other
than this.
In these brief hearings, spokesmen
for associations of hotel, transporta-
tion and other travel interests gave
some idea Of the commercial aspects of
"tourism"
American tourists, they reported,
spent nearly half billion dollars
abroad even in the depression depths
Of 1882. For the preceding 10 years
the total Of such expenditures was
estimated as six billions. But while
100000 persons Travelled in 1880 on
British passports. less than 10000 Of
them came to the United States, and
less than 10000 Of these for pleasure.
From France came only 5000 and
from Germany less than $4,000. Some
American transport and travel in
terests did bit of foreign advertising
OF the attractions Of the United States,
but they apparently were unable to
get together for travel promotion on
national scale. Yet many foreign
governments appropriated large sums
every year to encourage Americans
and other foreigners to visit their
lands, and their native tourist inter-
ests backed up these efforts with their
own funds.
A MONG the reasons for scanty for
eign travel in America were fan
tastic conceptions based on obsolete
conditions, proneness to travel beaten
paths" and, finally, plain lack Of in
formation about American travel facil-
tiles, scenic attractions, engineering
and industrial achievements, inviting
climate and historical backgrounds I"
Which had nothing to do then with
the yet unborn Federal writer's prof.
ect Of the Works Progress Admin
istration, but has plenty to do with
the enthusiasm OF the same American
business interests for it now, boon
doggling" or not. Nor is all, or even
great part Of this interest appar-
emily based on the hope of attracting
the alien to view our wonders. 1t
is the great unWorked and half-worked
home market at which these groups
are goggling.

 Team Have Time

 at Capitol

Joan Crawford and Clark Gable have the time of their lives in their new co-starring picture, Love on the Run," which opened yesterday at the Capitol Theatre and it is a safe bet to say that the film public viewing this picture will have the time of it's life as well. Not in a long time has there been pie ture which has the freshness, gail ety and spontaniety of Love on the Run"
 Acted to perfection by its ace team of stars with the support of Franchot Tone, Reginald Owen, Mona Barrie and others, the new offering has that combination of wit, charm and pulsating action which marked such earlier hits as The Thin Man" and Tt Happened One Night
 Miss Crawford, stunningly pho- tographed, has never been more vii brant than in her present role of the American heiress who on the verge of marrying nobleman finds out just in time that it is her money rather than herself that he is af- ter.

A bitter opponent of President Roosevelts court reform plan. Mrs Florence Kahn of San Francisco, who completed a 12-year tenure in the House of Representatives last year, is relaxing on a round-trip voyage aboard the Aleutian after making 68 speeches throughout Cal- ifornia and neighboring states de- nouncing the packing of the Su- preme Court"
 My voyage in the North has no political significance whatsoever" Mrs. Kahn told a reporter for The Empire. Many things can happen between now and the next political campaign, so I can say whether I'll make the race"
 Mrs. Kahn keeps in close touch with developments in the Republi- can party Shortly before she came north she lunched with ex-President Hoover on a purely social visit"
 Asked her opinion on the next Presidential race, Mrs. Kahn said she thought "the Republican candi- dates, especially Senator Vanden- berg of Michigan, offer a much stronger front" She felt definitely that Hoover would take no more interest in the party and that Lam don would not be given chance to make another race-"if you con- slider that he made a race in the first place"
 ! Asked if she thought President Roosevelt would try for a third term, Mrs. Kahn, a bitter opponent of many of the Presidents policies, de- clared, Who knows What the Pres ident is thinking g-sometimes I don't think he knows himself"
 She backed many war -appropria- tion bills in Congress, for fortifica- ton of the West Coast. She suc- ceeded her husband following his death. Mrs. Kahn is not feminist, she insisted, and never supported a measure purely because it was spon- sored by women.

SHORTSHOP MAY BE BAT LEADER IN AMER. LEAGUE
By DILLON GRAHAM

WASHINGTON, Aug. IT. - It's possible that a shortstop again may lead the American League at bat this season.
 A year ago Luke Appling of the Chicago White Sox breezed in ahead to become the first short fielder in the leagues history to win the hitting crown.
 Appling is finding hits scarcer these days but another shortstop, gangling Cecil Travis of Washing tons Senators, may beat out the Yankees Lou Gehrig and Joe Di- Maggie for slugging .honors.
 Travis average has been in the 3SO's-just a few percentage points above the bludgeoning Gehrig.
 Travis has been a problem child to Owner Clark Griffith ever since he came up from Chattanooga of the Southern Association in 1884.
 If He Could Field
 If" Griffith often sighs as he talks of Cece, If he could only field.'
 Travis ranks among the poorest short fielders defensively, but tops them all at bat.
 He came up as third baseman But he didn't seem to fit in there, and was tried at short. It was no go. Then he took whirl at the outfield, but, as the baseball boys say, he played it something like a plumber.
 Finally, in dire need of a short stop, Griffith and Manager Bucky Harris elected to put Travis into the slot and let him muddle around in hopes he might finally acclimate himself to this position.
 There He Stayed
 He's been there all season, and although he makes some fine plays that a fielding master would be proud of, it's always gamble when a ball comes his way.
 He hit just around 319 both ot the previous full years in the big show. Travis never was long hit ter but is of the sharp hitting var iety.
 Buddy Myer, Washington's second sacker who won the 1885 batting championship, predicted a year age that Travis would soon strike his top stride and lead the hit parade The Georgian may bear out Myers forecast.

Gods Country and the Woman Thrilling in
 Technicolor

Warner Bros, who gave talking pictures to the world, invented the screen musical and created the vogue for film biographies, have done it again. This time they have taken Technicolor and made it na- tural. The result is an almost unbelievably beautiful production of James Oliver Curwood's famous novel Gods Country and the Wo- man." which opened at the Coli scum Theatre yesterday.
 Taking his cast, headed by George Brent and Beverly Roberts in the great woods district of Washington, Director William Keighley trans ferred the thrilling romance and stirring action of the novel to the screen. The millions who have de- lighted in the novel will get an en- tirely new thrill when they see this picture, for the color photography is far more beautiful and natural than anything ever filmed and the director and players. including hun dreds of real lumberjacks used in the melee, have caught the spirit of the book and become, not merely competent actors, but living person. ifications of the authors characters.
