Quiet as a church yard at mid- night and yet giving a lasting im- pression of power and stamina sel- dom equaled by cars in its class, the new Chrysler Stix, proved itself yesterday morning to be a truly wonderful performer, and an auto- mobile capable of holding its own against the best. FE. M. Johnson of the Casper Motor company, local representa- tives of the new car, called Sparky into the salesroom yesterday morn- ing, and offered him an immediate opportunity to test the new car on the first long hill on the Salt Creek road, a stretch of highway that has proven the Waterloo of many a new and untried machine. Accordingly the Tribune motor car scribe, borrowed an overcoat from the sales manager to insure against sudden death from cold, and piled into the latest addition to Cas- per’s vehicle family. Tho getaway of the new Chrysler is almost a revelation. Almost immediately the speed of the car shot to 35 miles per hour in second gear. She then fell into high without a sound and the car sped smoothly out toward the Stand: ry. "The Chrys! fated the tracks on West Yellowstone with sce ly a vertica was doin; 40 miles per ¥ giant pressure stl Up the first steep hill and over the raflroad bridge. and out on the Salt Creek road proper sped the Chrysler. A glance at the speedometer disclosed the fact that the road was being left behind at a 50 mile an hour clip. It seemed more like 30. When half way up the long hill, an approximate mile from the city limits, the driver allowed the car to slow down until the three-mile per hour mark was reached. He then the accelerator to the floor. s never jerked snorted but picked up speed until she was doing a good ies per hour at the top, only an approximate 500 feet from the point at which the test started.

YODER. : Copyright 1924, The Casper Tribune CHICAGO, March 26.—Unwilling- ness of the Main streeter to admit his lack of poise is the great stum bling block against which the Pull- man company runs when it tries to save its passengers from the card sharpers who mulct travelers of thousands of dollars annually, an of- ficial of the company told the writ- er, discussing the latest warning to passengers to beware the drawing room card game. “Nine times out of ten” he said, “the victim resents a suggestion from a member of the train crew that he had better watch his step. ‘I'm no darn boob’ he will retort, ‘1 know how to take care of myself.’ ” The smooth gentry who used to spend their days on the big liners cleaning up trans-Atlantic passen gers, are taking more and more to the land routes, Pullman officials say. The favorite routes are those leading to Florida and California, where the wealthy—and frequently gullible—go to do their winter play- ing. For several years the trade has been growing to proportions _ that have annoyed and embarrassed" rail- road officials. Many of the sharps are known to the train crews. In such cases, drawing rooms, and sometimes even passage, are denied to them. But when there is merely suspicion to go on all the train crews can do is warn other passen- gers. And these warnings do little good for Mr. Main Streeter won't listen. So bold have the members of the light-fingered gentry become in the past few years of prosperliy and “Main Streeter” Advised To Steer Clear of Card Sharks on the Pullmans that they have even Three-Day Specials That Are Worth While CHILDREN’S DRESSES Of fine domestic ginghams (all col- ors) daintily trimmed, very desir- able for a school dregs.

He got into a smoking room con- versation with three “strangers.” The conversation ended in a stud poker game. No money was in- volved, they were “just playing for chips." An hour's play, and the Cuba bound gentleman was out $500 worth of “just chips.” The winner guessed he'd cash in and quit. “But I thought we were just playing, for chips” the gentleman for Cuba protested. “You saw me wink when I said that” retorted the sharper. “You'll pay or there'l! be a ruckus.” There was no ruckus, “That is merely typical of hun- dreds of cases reported weekly” the Pullman official told the writer. The sharpers work from division point to division point unt the train crews know them. Then they switch, tothe next division. “The railroad game is far better than the ocean liner game," for it can be worked quickly and quietly and the sharpers can get off if they seo trouble brewing. There are many instances where the card sharps have been exposed for what they are. But they usually get away with it because the vict'm is too proud or in too big a hurry to delay his trip and prosecute.’ SS aEEEEEEEaeEEEeeee rammar school girls {2 Nash- , Tenn, no longer are permit: ted to. bring powder puffs and rouge recently was master of ceremonies, and Walter Boos, chairman of the enter. tainment committee who were,His address must have proven an inspiration to salesmen connected with the local agency.
