D. Riley. Inspired by the success of "The Undercurrent" in professional vaude- ville and circuit, Alice Gerstenberg is now preparing two plays of Mrs. Riley's, "The Sponge" and "Radio," written several seasons ago in the playwriting class and included in Mrs Riley's book of plays, "The Mandarin Coat," for presentation at the Jack and Jill theater at the Drake hotel, Chicago, the first two weeks of August. It is quite likely that following their presentation there she will put them on the bill at the Palace vaudeville theater and they will eventually go on circuit as did the prize play of the class, "The Undercurrent," written by Mrs. Max Fhlert, wife of the Chilean consul of Chicago.

We urge you to m bn or a Fi Hs ah Sou Driving "Tricks" Save Energy and Also Life of Car "Much of the fatigue experienced by the average motorist is owing to an unnecessary expenditure of energy in the act of handling his automobile in traffic," says Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. "There is plenty of available evi- dence to substantiate this point. Take the case of curves, especially on a strange highway. It is a driving error to approach a curve at high rate of speed, and to overcome this the driver is forced to apply his brakes suddenly, and at the same time put forth a great deal of strength to steer the car around the curve safely. There may be many curves in the course of a day's drive, and if the driver con- tinues to approach them at a high rate of speed, he will have used up a great deal of energy by the end of the day. "Then there is the driver who thinks there is no necessity of shifting to second gear when descending a hill, in spite of warning signs. This means that he will have to hold his car back with the brakes--another useless expenditure of strength. "Approaching at high speed any point where it is known in advance that a stop must be made is another driving blunder that leaves the driver exhausted at the end of the day, as this practice requires sudden and vigorous application of brakes, and, as a result, muscular fatigue. "There are many little driving 'tricks, which, if the motorist will learn and practice, will not only con- serve the driver's energy, but will also lengthen the life of the car." Milan Models Its Street Cars After Those in U. S. What may be the precursor of many changes in tramway transportation in Europe is sensed in the modernization policy of Milan, Italy, with its street railways, modeled after the street rail- ways of the United States. Americans traveling in Europe have found it very hard to become accustom- ed to the obsolete type of cars, methods of paying fares, and delays caused by poor methods of operation. Many note with interest the new equipment and policies of the modernized Milan sys- tem, patterned after the American systems. Installation of a few modern type cars has proved so satisfactory that 460 more have been ordered built, the change in the system of collection of fares to prepayment collection, and the frank adoption in Milan of American rolling stock will, it is predicted, have a considerable effect in Europe to- wards standardizing transportation. State Inspectors Will Visit All County Fairs The first of the state inspectors, working under the Department of Ag- riculture, who will visit all of the county fairs of the state, have re- ceived instructions and will take up their duties with the opening of the fairs. The inspectors will guard against gambling on fair grounds, against ob- jectionable shows and co-operate in every way with the fair officials. Un- der the law fair associations given state aid must not allow gambling de- vices, objectionable shows or the sale of intoxicants on the fair grounds. Miss Lillian Doing began her duties as registrar at the New Trier High school this week. She was formerly secretary to Supt. Frederick E. Clerk. She has returned after a year's leave of absence.
