Arriving in Miami at 8:35 Wednes day morning, tho car was officially credited with having negotiated tho distance at the average speed of 39.4 miles an hour. Two punctures en route made tho sum total of trouble encountered. This surprising performance, added to a previous record attained in a run from Jacksonville to Tampa in seven hours and twenty-three minutes an average of 37.6 miles an hour has impelled Florida motor enthusiasts to the conviction thnt the sturdy Detroit product now has a belt that dangles with scalps, and therefore the Jack sonville distributor is out with an as tonishing defi to motor car (representa tives throughout tho entire state. In a public newspaper announce ment, he invites competition in road demonstrations and requests any Florida automobile dealer to equal or improve upon either or both of his at tainments. In this challenge he goes the limit for his Maxwell, inviting the competition regardless of the size, selling price or cylinder number of the competing car. Indicative of the road ability of the Maxwell, the long Bast Coast run practically duplicated tho timo of a run made last fall, over a road tnat had no similarity whatever, from In dianapolis to Chicago and return tho distance there being the same, 376 miles. Tho total elapsed time for the Florida run was thirty-five minutes greater, though tho time of nine hours flat and a like average sustained speed of 41.7 miles an hour would htfve been duplicated almost exactly. it is held, had tho car on tho Miami dash not encountered road working gangs north of Palm Beach, causing delays. In all the road runs tho Maxwell has been put to in the strenuous aampaign of durability tests it has mado in at taining, during tho last two years, the official American inter-city motor car championship, it is asserted that n hhrdcr rond to negotiate never h been encountered than the one in Florida. Tho Miami run gave tho car no rond cushioning whatever. The chuck holos of which there is a great sufficiency, nnd the hard tearing on the car nt the turns and angles, were difficult enough, the driver asserted, to tear many cars to pieces nt such speed, nnd he certified thnt no Max well ever before received such a ter rific pounding. How difficult the run is can best, be understood by the fact thnt the punc tured tire was so hot in both changes that it could hardly be handled with bare hands.

Mary Pickford a Fighter. "A Poor Little Rich Girl" will dis close Mary Pickford in a picture which, although of typical Pickford charm, presents the famous girl-star in a character quite different from anything in which she has appeared heretofore. For instance, who ever heard of Mary Pickford being a regu lar little bob-cat when it comes to fighting? Yet this is just what proves to be the case in "Little Mary's" new film when a gang of street urchins attack her at her pal atial home. In the luxurious conservatory, with its lily pond and gigantic palms she battles with a half dozen sturdy youngsters and finally sets them to route at the cost of much expensive furnishings as well as her own im- mnmtlflo nnnniirarbifl TnsnnttrnH I from head to foot with mud from the erstwhilo lily pond and severely scratched she stands triumphant as tho remains of the gang are set to flight. The urchins used in these scenes wore instructed to give real battle and in fighting them off the popular little star, had her hands full in every sense of the expression as well as her teeth and feet. After this fight Miss Pickford's activities for the dy at the studio ceased right then and there and those who wili witness the affair on the screen of the Arcade theatre commencing Monday, for days only, will easily understand why this was the case.

When Dewey's fleet returned to Now York after the Battle of Manila Bay, a Swedish janitor in a large de partment store hoisted an American flag with the Union down, and flew the signal of distress throught the cele bration. A patriotic citizen would hardly have made so flagrant an er ror, but in displnying flags or bunting there are many fine points to be ob served, remarks Harry Lee King, Deputy Commissioner of Boy Scouts. In the New York Tribune he gives these rules for flying the national colors: 1. The proper time for raising the flag is sunrise or after, never before. 2. The flag must be lowered at sunset. 3. In draping th eflag against the side of a room or 'building, the proper position for the flue field is toward the north or toward the east. It is a mark of disrespect to allow the flag to fly throughout the night, i There is no uniform usage in the ' display of bunting, but it is just as easy to hang it in the correct fash ion. When buildings are decorated in bunting draped horizontally, the red should be at the top, according to a letter from the War Department pub lished in the New York Sun: War Department, Office of the Quartermaster-General, Washington, I). C. There are no regulations pre scribing the method of utilizing bunt ing for decorative purposes, but good tnsto requires that the order shall be red at the top, followed by white, then blue, in accordance with tho heraldic colors of the national flag.
