MUSICAL HIT lS PLAYING NOW
 Al GhpITOL
Theatre Features Honolulu" Starring
 Eleanor Powell

Eleanor Powell, acknowledged to oe the worlds most accomplished tap dancer, proves her title again in Honolulu" which opened at the Capitol Theatre yesterday.
 This lavish new musical has all that the Broadway shows of modern times can offer and more. Robert Young has the male lead in dual rcle, carrying the pleasantly light weight of humorous but plausible story
 Comedy is provided by George Burns and Gracie Allen, of screen and radio fame, and the music is superb to the musical background of the hula numbers.
 Miss Powell offers Hymn to the Sun" based on the traditional dance of Hawaii; an imitation of Bill Rob- inson's famous stair dance, and fin ally. a novel number done with a skipping rope.
 Young appears as a Hollywood star who wants to get away for a rest. At an opening he encounters his double and induces him to ex- change identities for a while. The scheme works. On boat for Hono- lulu, the actor, now free of his fame, meets a cabaret dancer, played by Miss Powell, and falls in love with her. But in Honolulu he faces the past of his double, planter, who not only is engaged to a girl Young has never seen but is wanted for embezzlement. The complication is adjusted when the planter is in- duced to return.

Sometimes it happens that a pair
Of superior players will lose hand
while weaker players will win it..
This paradoxical condition often re-
suits from the fact that the superior
pair in their egotism and desire to
make slam will overbid their
hands in the hope of picking up
the possible trick necessary to the
making of their contract by reason
OF weak defense. Conversely, the
weaker players holding the same
cards will be content to make Just
what their cards seem to call for
against the best defense.
The following deal played in a
local duplicate game illustrates the

Pass II You're Second.
Who's to blame for these long
lines of moving cars which
tangle up and endanger traflc, espe-
cially on Sundays and holidays?
The driver at the head of the
line or the one just behind him?
Popular idea has been to con-
denim the slow poke at the head of
the line. but he's only half the
trouble. Second in line Is q driver
who can and should get ahead. He
has only one car to overtake, and a
slow-moving vehicle at that. BY
getting ahead he opens up the line,
stops the blockade. It is his duty.
Behind him Is a driver who would
have to overtake two cars at one
time. That Is twice as difficult,
and much more risky. 1t is that
second slow poke who holds up the
works.
No Two Shifts Alike.
If you don't find the remote gear
shift or your car working just the
way you'd like it, by all means ask
your service man to make a few
adjustments in an effort to get a
different feel out of it. There is a
marked difference not only between
shifts on different makes of cars,
but also between shifts on cars of
identical make, year and model
I recently talked with a contractor
who uses four cars that are sup
posed to be identical. Each shifts
differently. He has found one of
the four that just suits him.

Ever try to make & neat Job OF

hard work when you use a normal

solution, and believe 1t or not I
learned Of this from reading lubrica-
ton instructions for . washing ma

What Price Mileage?
"Why is It," asks a reader, that
there is no difference In gas mileage
on my car regardless Of the brand
of fuel used? I covered quite a
variety Of brands, and also find
that first grade gives no better
mileage than third grade"
This didn't seem to make sense,
so I have made a few observations
I found, for one thing, that this
reader habituauy drives fast. II any
gas he uses is capable of giving bet
ter mileage in normal running it
doesn't have chance. His speed
cuts mileage to general low level
which Is no worse with one brand
Of fuel than with another. As for
the difference in mileage between
various grades of fuel he has been
misinformed here. Premium fuel
is not offered as an opportunity to
get better mileage It's virtue lies
in ability to provide the sort of per-
formance engineers intended the car
should give. With premium fuel
you can run high-compression en-
gine at highest efficiency, with the
ignition timed further toward the
advanced side. Savings are of 4
broader nature.
One reason switching brands of
fuel does not give anticipated re-
suits in many cases is merely be-
cause owners do not experiment with
different adjustments Of the car.
buretor. They are limited in this
connection these days because high
speed adjustments are restricted to
changes in jet sizes. Often it is DOS
sible to strike a fuel that is ideally
suited to the adjustment of the car
buretor's idling mixture and to its
jet sizes. This can be done by trial
and error, If no better way is found
But few motorists go this far in an
effort to improve mileage. Hence
the legend that all fuels are about
the same.
Mechanic Joe Speaking:
I'm often accused of being fussy
because I like to make doubly sure
about service jobs, but it's an old
rule OF the game that it pays to re-
peat. Things ran lot smoother in
the days when 1t was the custom to
60 over the valve tappets few DAYS
after turning out a valve job. I've
always liked the idea of checking
over a fan belt adjustment after the
engine has run awhile, Just to be
doubly sure. Now comes the spark
plug people to tell us that it isn't
enough to clean the spark plugs with
their new sanding machines. We
should always clean each plug twice.

A. If this were my car wouldn't
make any changes in the jets. For
all practical purposes 1t is better
to have the gas mixture run to the
rich side than to the lean. You
need to burn gas to get power for
hills and acceration.
@. I seem to have a difficult time
keeping lubricant in the shackles of
my car. Greasing has to be much
too frequent, and there seems to be
a lot of drippage on the garage
floor. Should I have the shackles
rebushed?-D. A. o.
A. Try using the type Of Iubri-
cant recommended by the manu-
facturer. This should be what serv-
ice men know as the "non-squirt''
kind.
@. While on a trip I purchased
some speclal high pressure lubricant
Tor the hypoid rear end of my new
car, having been warned that
might have some trouble getting
such lubricant in the mountains
where I went to spend my vacation.
Is 1t all right to use this when the
rear end needs more lubricant?-
L.K.
A. If you know for a fact that it
is the same brand of hypoid lubri-
cant which is in the rear end now.
Otherwise, wouldn't advise mixing
the new with the old because some
OF the different chemicals used in
this lubricant may react on each
other unfavorably.
