German Opera at Liege.
Brussels, May . (I. N. 8.) Tha
Germans ,have begun opera perform-
1 ancea in Liege. Tha first production
comprised the small comio opera, "A
Nuremberg Doll," the third act of
Tales of Hoffman," and the second
act of the "Merry Wives of Windsor."'
Motorists generally were somewhat
pleaded during the week to hear that
Safety Commissioner Coffin had re--ommtnded
to the county commission
ers a change In the bridge rules so
that automobiles could pass over the
l'.ioadway and .Steel bridge In double
file provided they do not cross from
one file to the other.
This will mean practically two mov
ing channels, one in back of the street
cars and another between the street
cars and the trucks and wagons. How
ever, while It helps some it still does
not satisfy those who started the
agitation for removing the bridge re
strictions. They still are of the belief
that there should not be any more
restrictions on those wide viaducts
than on the streets of the down town
section.
Mr. Coffin also announced that the
near stop of the streetcars would be
Incorporated In the next trafflo ordi
nance to be presented to the council.
This measure more than many other
has been a desirable one in the eyes
or thoae who drive, for several years.
The dazcllng lights are now "get
ting thelra" every day In the police
courts, about 100 use's of the calcium
glare having bn fined in the last
week. The r.an who cuts corners and
the or.e who turns in the middle of
'.'..0 block, thereby endangering other
machines haa not been curbed much
but he too will aoon be summoned
into court.
Tha drivers themselves are being
warned by some officers aboilt leav
ing their cars atand on a grade with
out having the front wheel cramped
so that if the brakes should "Jump"
the car would not roll down, the hill.

Owing to the method of the point

Are Won by Auto
Recent tests made under the sanc
tion of the American Automobile as
sociation and governed by Us officials
have brought to ths Hudson super-six
two marks which have been acceptea
as records by that association.
The first was the speed of 103 miles
per hour made by a stock chassis on
the Florida beaches with Mulford at
the wheel some weeks ago.. The sec
ond was made last Wednesday when
the same driver broke the world's long
distance run for. sustained speed by
going 1819 miles in 24 hours without
a relief driver. Tha former record,
made In England, was 1581 miles. This
waa nine "years ago and made by a
Packard Six
The A. A. A. has attested the fact
that the cars which made these marka
were of standard stock chasals in
every detail.

There Are Class and Go in the Enticing New 8400 r. p. m. Chalmers Roadster $1070
No sooner had the wave of this car's popularity
swept the land,, than an immediate demand arose for
a Roadster model of the 8400 r. p. m.
And here it is a thing of class and go; a racy,
snappy, three-passenger car with enticement in every
line. :
8400 revolutions per minute mean that her engine
represents weight and friction of all reciprocating
parts reduced to the minimum, lubrication perfect,
and bearing surfaces absolutely safe.
Her low-geared, high-speed motor gives her
terrific hill-climbing ability. And by translating
useless might into ease and acceleration, she gets 18
miles out of every gallon of gas, saves you $150 to
$200 per year in fuel bills, and adds many, many
miles to the life of your tires. Yet shell do 60 miles "
an hour any time you say.
I have been trying to get the factory to give me
more of these cars than my order calls for. Never
has a new model met with such a storm of orders.
One ride in this Roadster and you'll feel you
must sit at her wheel every day.
Ask me about Chalmers service inspection cou-j
pons, negotiable at all Chalmers dealers everywhere.
This system is a most important consideration in
buying your car.
