In "North of the Rio Grande," one of
the liveliest western dramas is the
special fourth of July attraction at the
Cage theatre, beginning tomorrow mat

tional j talents as horsemen and all
around western characters.
i;i "North of the Rio Grande" has some
pt the hiost beautiful scenery ever
'tieed as a background for a western
Slim.'' The locale Is the country along
he Apache Trail In Arizona, and long
iilews of rugged country and cliff dwel
JltlgS, as well as the real Arizona
Horses add . cowpunchers, give excep
tional, atmosphere. Some of the big
iiinportlttg players are Charles Ogle,

I The story Is full of suspense and
xontalns one of the finest "chases
fcfter villains" seen in a long time. One
jbfi the thrills Is when bands of cowboys
corner two men In a deep valley. They
race along trails and through streams

CHICAGO. The American sleeping
car no longer needs "squeak" inspec
tors. . n They passed with the wooden
cars, the joints of which sometimes be
came loosened by wear and friction.
The buffers are the only parts of the
steel cars that produce by contact -a
noise that has not been eliminated, ac
cording to Pullman company officials.
The standard Pullman car. is of steel
of some 70 tons weight. Its Immense
backbone, or underframe. is Indestruct
ible, and Incapable of buckling or col
lapsing, according to the company s
most recent claim. Four I'beams,. at
either end of the car, are likened to a
sapling that will give; but not break,
and are said to prevent absolutely the
possibility- of telescoping" of cars
wjjich existed in the days of wood construction.
This revolutionary change in sleep
ing car construction is less than fif
teen years old. It was followed by an
almost complete elimination of wood
In a Pullman car. Mahogany, Circas
sian walnut, maple and other fine
grained woods are imitated, and it is
said that passengers often take them
for wood and use their knuckles to
convince themselves by sound when
their eyes fall them.
The earliest Pullmans were lighted
by candles. Then came oil lamps, gas
and finally electricity. Officials say
that as long asonly the lamps were
available there was no criticism from
the public, and that an intensity of two
foot candles as a reading level was
satisfactory. A foot candle Is the in
tensity of light one foot distance from
a one-candle power lamp. Today from
seven to ten foot candles are Insisted
upon. Ni
In the year 1921 the value of articles
bought for Pullman cars, according to
figures of the company just announced,
amounted to $1,810,283.34 or 4.11 cents
for each passenger carried. During
the year 113.640 gallons of liquid soap
and 2,531,808 cakes of . soap were used
on the cars, officials report. Other
figures for the year include 1,035,925
towels ;2, 587,530 boxes of matches and
64,755,000 drinking cups.
Laundries washed 214,870,412 pieces
of Pullman property during the year at
a cost of $2,882,1 20, according to the
officials.
