KNOCK is the name of that warning "l)ing." It occurs when a gasoline breaks down (burns too quickly) under the heat of a modern high compression engine. Cars built in recent years have high compression engines. And in summer the knocking evil is at its worst because hot weather increases engine heat.

THE CURE—and preventive—of knock is better gasoline.That is why most oil companies now improve gasoline by adding anti-knock fluids (containing tetraethyl lead) made by the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation. Thpy recommend,as their fuel for summer driving, special gasoline sold at pumps marked "Ethyl."

I AM sitting with my girl Mabel that night on the steps of her brownstone stoop, and the moon is high, and the, clock in the Metro politan tower is chiming the quar ter hours, and the beer trucks are rumbling on Ninth avenue. It is a moment of great romance, but there is nothing I can do about it because Mabel is weeping and her face is buried in the silk handkerchief she has swiped from my top pocket and I cannot even kiss her. "I guess I can't ever marry you, XIT EXST Timmy," she sobs. "My duty is here." By "here" Mabel does not mean by the brownstone stoop. She means the top floor flat where she lives Matt Taylor with her father and her three young brothers, Michael Aloysius, Vincent de Paul, and Francis Xavier. Mabel's mother is dead, and Mabel has been trying since she is a little shaver to keep her kid brothers out of reform school, June, 1936

which seems to me hardly worth while. Tonight the trouble is Michael Aloysius, he having announced he is about to become a pug, and maybe heavyweight champion of the world if he can make the weight. Here tofore I have been patient with Mike because I know he hasn't got a refined, cultural back ground like I got from working as head usher at the Elixir Theatre, which is the culturest movie palace on Broadway. But when Mike makes Mabel cry so I cannot kiss her he is going too far. "I tried to be a mother to him," she sighs. "He's only eighteen. Now he's going to be a pug and get cauliflower ears and puffy eyes and a broken nose and keep bad company and maybe get to be a gangster." I am not sure about the gangster part, but Mabel is as right about the ears, eyes and nose as a Park Avenue specialist. Blike only thinks he can fight. He is big and strong, but he is a clumsy lunk of a kid and very slow on his feet. I figure some shj'ster man ager is promoting him for a punching bag for a lot of second-rate heavies who want to look good. "Oh, if he was only a gentleman!" Mabel goes on. "Like you, Timmy." "It takes all kinds," I remind her gently. "He's not a bad kid. All he needs is disci pline and training. If he'd only join the Navy and learn a trade and get himself some ideals!" I smile a little to myself -at this. The Navy does a fair job at handing out ideals, but at the Elixir Theatre we top them.. Our staff of ushers got as many ideals as they got brass buttons.

The large and not-very-funny picture in the upper left hand corner is of Colonel Stoopnagle and his comrade. Budd. This brace of clucks do much to brighten dreary gloaming with their programs over WABC each Thursday at 9:30 P.m. The last week in June they take over the Fred Allen National Amateur Hour where Fred leaves off. The program will be broadcast as usual on Wednesday evening's at 9, with the clucks heckling the amateurs. In the way ofa little polite log-rolling, this Depart ment would like to announce that, Stoopnagle and Budd, aside fro7n being tzvo of the funniest comedians in the entertainment world, have estab lished something of a reputation as being two of the swellest lads in Radio. To their right is Alexander Gray, a baritone who augments the Chrysler Air Show, heard Thursday evenings at 8 P.M. over Station WABC, et al. At top right is a gentleman named Dr, M. Sayle Taylor, known to his disciples as the ' Voice of Experience," from whose Hps drop pearls of wis dom each morning at 11:45 over WEAF. Other pearls may be picked up on Sundays at 1:30 P.M., also over theNBC station. Beneath the picture of Stoopnagle and Budd is Willie Morris, whose charming soprano voice embellishes the Fireside Recital on Stindays over WEAF. An eventide program. At bottom left is a portrait of Howard Petrie, an announcer for innumer able commercial programs, whose insidious larynx lures one to the indis criminate purchasing of advertised articles. Directly above is Ray Dooley, a mad wag if ever we saw one. She and her team-mate, Eddie Dowling, are always good for a couple of laughs on Tuesday evenings at 10 for the National Broadcasting Company's WEAF.

At top left is a scene of contentment from Tiventieth Century-Fox's production, "Turmoil," starring Jean Hersholt, with Don Ameche, Allen Jenki}ts, J. Edward Bromberg, Ann Shoemaker and so forth, and so forth. Below them at left are Vera Ross and Frank Moulan in the present edition of the Gilbert and Sullivan light opera, "lolanthe." Gilbert and Sullivan is still so popular with the citizens that scarcely a year goes by without a revival of the Savoyard operas coming to Town. To the right of Miss R. and Mr. M. are Miss Loretta Young, all sweetness and light, and the villainous Mr. Basil Rathbone, who take prominent parts in the motion picture, ' Private Mumber. Mr, Rath- boneappearsdestined to spend the rest of hisdays (which we hope are many) pretending he is an icy and satanic gentleman with the heart of BUSINESS a snake. At bottom left are Dick Powell and Marion Davies, tastefully cos tumed for their roles in "Hearts Divided." The team of Powell and Davies is not, we feel, one to make the heart beat faster. At bottom right on the opposite page are Ray Bolger and Luella Gear in Broadway's current musical comedy. On Your Toes," the funniest and most tuneful extravaganzaon the Town s boards. Bolger dances like a whirling dervish and Miss Gear is very droll. The plot occupies itself with taking the Russian Ballet for a long, hard ride. At right one sees Walter Hampden, currently acting in his most noted production, Rostand's heroic comedy, "Cyrano de Bergerac." These are said to be Mr. Hampden's last performances of the famous role, a rumor which we regard as a highly regrettable bit of news. Directly below are Spencer Tracy and Sylvia Sidney being leered at during a court scene in M-G-M s cinematic effort. Fury." At bottom, Robert Montgomery and Frank Morgan, comfort ably situated in a scene from the rnovie. Trouble for Two, made from Robert Louis Stevenson's shocking story. The Sui cide Club."

But the real purpose in view is to depict to the public the patriotic Americanism of the Order and its charitable, benevolent and fraternal character. Dignity of deportment and good taste are essentials. Orderly movement and discipline are likewise requisites. Dis tinctive uniforms lend color to the display.

It is, therefore, appropriate that the subordinate Lodges should observe Flag Day this year with special pride and with a keener appreciation of its sig nificance. There is no ceremonial of our Order that is richer in patri otic inspiration; and when publicly observed it exerts an appreciable influence upon the whole community. It is in structive as well as inspirational; and the Lodge which con ducts the program with dignity and impressiveness performs a patriotic service of real value and importance. By virtue of its essential Americanism, the Order of Elks has a definite obligation in connection with the celebration of the birthday of the national emblem. For many years, in recognition of this obligation, it has played a leading part in the observance of the occasion and has had much to do with making it one of wider popularity. The subordinate Lodges should make this year's ceremonial one of real community importance, in appropriate acclaim of all that is represented by our glorious banner that is still so "gallantlystreaming" over us.

Service Emblems N nearly every subordinate Lodge there are a- few faithful members who, for different reasons, never seek election to official stations, perform outstanding services to the Lodge. Promotion to important office consti tutes an honor which is itself adequate compensation for the usual performance of the required duties. But ordinarily the unofficial member, who may perform even more valuable service, goes without any reward and frequently without any formal acknowledgment. Several Lodges have adopted the custom of presenting to each of such members some distinctive fraternal emblem, as a concrete evidence of the Lodge's appreciation of the serv ices which have been effectively and unselfishly performed. nity.

Gondomar's own brother, and Sir Walter's eldest son. To Raleigh, waiting at the mouth of the Orinoco, came his beaten forces in retreat, with the terrible news of a happening that meant his ruin.

And there was Brutus, aye, and others as memorable who have descended to such artifice." Though he laughed, it is clear that he was seeking to excuse an un- worthiness of which he was con scious. "Artifice!" quoth King, aghast. "Is this artifice?" "Aye—a hedge against my ene mies, who will be afraid to approach me." King sat himself down by his mas ter's bed. "A better hedge against your enemies, Sir Walter, would have been the strip of sea 'twixt here and France. Would to Heaven you had done as I advised ere you set foot in this ungrateful land." "The omission may be repaired," said Sir Walter. Before the imminence of his peril, as now disclosed to him, Sir Walter had been reconsidering De Chesne's assurance touching my Lords of Arundel and Pembroke and he had come to conclude—the more readily perhaps because it was as he would have it—that De Chesne was right; that to break faith with them were no such great matter after all, nor one for which they would be called upon to suffer. And so now when it was all but too late, he yielded to the insistence of Cap tain King, and consented to save him self by flight to France. King was to go about the business of procuring a ship without loss of time. Yet there was no need of desperate haste, as was shown when presently orders came to Brentford for the disposal of the prisoner. The King, who was at Salisbury, desired that Sir Walter should be conveyed to his own house in London. Stukeley reported this to him, proclaiming it a sign of royal favor.
