What You Want to Know “About Your Auto and How To Drive It and Keep It Biapive Advice How to Keep Automobiles Running Smoothly i and the Best Way to Machine Troublee— F Svalfie Suggestions and Pleasure Reutes } ber Evening Werld Readeve. s - By GEORGE H. ROBERTSON. HB Police Department from time to time has experienced consider: i able trouble with @ certain class of drivers who substitute and change the license p) caen with which these plates can be removed {t is a common practice with the automobile thieves in this sec- tion of the country to run cars un- der fictitious numbers or number erty of some other individual. Up to the present time the duties of the Secretary of State's office end when the license plates are deliv- ered to the owner of the car for which they are meant. The owner can apply these plates on his car front and rear in any manner he pleases, provided the plates do not have a tendency to swing, and that they are visible and not obstructed from view. It matters not whether the plat are bolted, screwed or tied on. Action ts being taken by the Polfce Commissioner to have this section * of the Motor Vehicle Law changed so that ft will be compulsory for the owner to place the plates on & car In such ® manner that they cannot be removed after they are applied. Suggestions have been offered that rivets be used; that they be locked on with small locks, which would be issued with the license, &c, My suggestion fs that the Secretary of State issue with the Heense plates a plece of steel wire with a lead seal, this seal to be distinctive in whape. When the plates are applied to the car they should be sealed to the permanent support holding these plates, failure to have the seal in proper condition at all times to be punishable by a fine, The seals would not cost very much and would be the means of preventing substitution, Automoite Faditor.

Thereafter each Saturday readers of The Evening World will be to read o full instal- ment. The story of “The Red Circle” is of Great timely interest at the present moment, an it has much to do with heredity and the question of parental influences, which has recetved fore- Most attention lately through the Bollinger baby of Chicago. 7 ‘The atory of “The Red Circle” ts by Albert Payson ‘Terhune, whom all readers of The Evening World know. The idea is that tho instincts of heredity, however strong, can be over- come by environment and proper edu- cation. The working out of the t ory has been done sicentifically, with each step authenticated by the best authorities, In the story Ruth Roland, one of the most popular of the photo-play #tars, plays the part of a young girl who inherits criminal tendencies, which, however, are modified by the superior character of the environment in which she is brought up, “The Red Circle” is a peculiar birth mark which is a characteristic of her family and which comes and goes according as her thoughts are normal or abnormal. Frank Mayo plays the part of the lover who is trying to discover theidentity of the mysteri- ous criminal, With such @ story the opportunities afforded the director are many, and Sherwood McDonald, who lucing the picture, has very is pi evidently recognized tiem, as his work ows. Ruth Roland has been on the stage for thirteen years, and yet is only twenty-two. Few of the screen fa- vorites of the day can potnt to a rec- ord like that, She made her debut at the age of four as Baby Ruth on the Pacific Co and was regarded n, When she was playing Little Lord Fauntleroy at the age of six in San Francisco, she at- tracted the attention of David Belas- co, who did not hesitate to say that she was the best child actress he had ever seen. She continued on the stage until she was eleven, when she wag sent to a private achool, remaining there until she was sixteen. Her guccess ingenue was even greater than a child. Her versatility was such that she played comedy or drama with equal ease, Four years ago sie was “discovered” by a Kalem di- rector who engaged her to appear in Western and Indian plays, “Later she was put into comedies and was highly successful, ‘Last December she received the offer of a year’s contract with Balboa at a flattering salary to star in the ho Pays?” series, about to be made for Pathe, and accepted. In this series she found a fitting vehicle for her art, and her work received universal praise, Gifted with a particularly ex- pressive and mobile face, it ts very easy for her to convey her thought by her facial expression Miss Roland is unspoiled, popular though she ts, and ts all girl, She rides a horse like a centaur, fences, plays tennis, swims, fishes, shoots and runs a motor car, To her athletic tendencies may be ascribed her grace of moverient and ease of manner. Frank Mayo, who supports Mi Roland, though not so well known as she {s, comes of a famous theatrical family, his grandfather being Frank Mayo, the celebrated English actor. His work has been uniformly good in Ralboa productions, and is constantly getting better, This serial represents his first big ohance and he has made tha most of It. Messrs. Horkheimer and Ritchey, the authors of "Phe Red Circle," col- jaborated on the Pathe series “Who Pays?" which will be remembered as one of the big successes of the current year, yeXibert Payson Terhune, who has written the stories for the mar newspapers who have arranged for the publication rights, Is one of the best known newspaper men in the country, having been connected with ‘Tho New York World for a number of years. He was born in Newark, N. J, Dee. 1, 1872, and Is the son of Marion Harland, one of ‘the most celebrated | thors in the country. He then spent a number of years in travel in Burope, Asia and Africs ¥ quired fame through crossing Rotn the Syrian desert alone, and his ad- ventures in thet hazardous journey would make dozens of feature photo- plays. Among his exploits was his ing his way into @ leper settle~ ment in the guise of a doctor, such visita being forbidden unless for med- feal purposes, Another waa visiting & Mobammedan temple in disguise, a venture which if foun! out might have cost him his life. He ts author of the novels, “The Fighter,” “Caleb Conover’ and the book of travel, “Syria From the Saddle.” He also collaborate with his mother on #01 He also novelized the pl “The Re- turn of Peter Grimm. 5 is @ giant in stature, and as an ama- teur boxer has fought with Corbett, Fitzsimmons and Jeffries, and inci- dentally won thelr unstinjed praise through his prowess. He {s a mem ber of the Board of Governors of the Adventurers’ Ctub and is also a mem- ber of both the Explorers’ and Au- thors’ Clubs. “The Red Circle” ts stamped by all who have seon !t as an unusually strong and Interesting serial, It also enjoys the unique distinction of being the first serial to be "et out which was practically finished before being released, a circumstance of great value to the releasing company. ———_— DANCING CARNIVAL HAS LIVELY CONTEST. ‘The Instructors’ popularity contest at the dancing carnival, Grand Cen- tral Palace, is causing much excite- ment.
