The oar erased hours from the swift
est passenger train time and it low
ered the best previous motor car rec
ord, established by a Hudson Super
Six, by approximately three hours.
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. The road, being so nar-

Alice Brady Tomorrow.
"Miss Petticoats," from the book by
Dwight Tilton, has been adapted ,to
tho screen by Ha.ley Knoles, who al
so directed tho play, and supported by
a company of genuine players of mer
it, Alice Brady plays the leading role
in a manner altogether pleasing and
charming, at tha same time giving the
characters such a great impersonation
as to make even her closest admirers
gaze on in wonde". The many scenes
requiring a sea or null scene were

fishing schooner, the Chas. W. Mor
gan of New Bedford, Mass., as wen
as the Wumsutta Mills being utilized
in the production of this World Film
feature which will be shown on the

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.

FLAG' ETIQUETTE.
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.

"No, Miss Lucy; ho ain't no cullud

"Then he must be a white man, and

"No. 'Scuse me, Miss Lucy; dot's all
