Much attention | was paid to the question of whether | the traffic was equipped with steel or | rubber tires, but a definite analysis of | the surface and. supporting corditions of the rond and a determination of | destructive forces were not deemed neceksary.” The transition from horse- drawn to automobile and truck traffic has changed the surface and strength requirements of the road of to-day.

Vit) o | First in estimation is David Butler |as the star, jmpersonating 'a new | type of serio-comic role. The :part calls for every possible variatioyi in {the art of mimicry. It is a once sad | and then in contrast joyful, and then | alternates between a philosophic as- pect and fades out into a fade in of {the sentimental. Supporting him is Leatrice Joy in the role of Alice Drydan, who enacts the role of a so- | ciety girl. Through misfortune she | leaves the glitter behind, and in use- ful work finds a greater measure of | contentment. Then we come to the | familiar Harry Todd, whose features before the camera have lpng qualified him as a comedian of the first water. In this production he impersonates the tragic role of the hen-pecked hus- | band, and the various bits of busi- ess that call for the superiority of the wifely mind over the man who from the moment he said “I do,” furnishes a round of pleasure that is quite sufficient.

J Some high points in thelr report re- cently made are: Thin or worn solid rubber tires, even though they be very wtide, produce very high impact forces. Pneumatic tires offer the greatest influence in reducing impact forces, and with thelr use the impact increases only very slightly with the speed of the truck. Cushion tires, that Is, tires having a degree of softness and deflection be- tween solids and pneumatics, offer cor- responding ud?'un(ugeu in reducing Im- pact. .

For the past two years he has been seen in the title role of the now famous Torchy comedies. i In “Burn *Em Up Barnes,” which was made during'Johnny's “vacation” he has the title role. Playing opposite {to him is Betty Carpenter, remem- bered for her work ‘with Constance Binney and Alicé Brady in the Sun- shine comedies.

LAST TIMES TONIGHT—GRAND | “Go Straight,” the feature picture | at the Grand theater last night, proved to be the exception in enter- tainment of this type.
