four great speed monsters are in
an intensive race for the honor of
being first to achieve 200 miles-an-hour.
One of them, the 1000- horse
power Sunbeam mystery car, has
challenged all American records
and in March will attempt to un
dergo a speed on the beach at
Daytona, Florida, that may either
end disastrously or in the greatest
event of automobile history.
Another, the 12-cylinder. 450-
horsepower "Bluebird" of Captain
Malcom Campbell, is being groom
ed for a 200-"mlle clip on the beach
at Pendine, England. It is an ex
perimental machine which requir
ed two and a half years to con
struct.
Parrv Thomas. British racer
who recently captured the world's
record by achieving 172 miles-an-
hour on the Pendine sands with
his 26-litre. Liberty engine "Babs"
is out to add 28 miles to his rec
ord before some one beats him to
it.
Two hundred miles an hour is
a new high objective in speed for
an automobile. The mechanical
preparations for such an attempt
must he perfect. There is no mar
gin of safety for -errors. It takes
approximately four-tenths of a
second for a driver's hand to act
on a message from nra Dram. At a
200-mile clip his automobile would
travel 40 yards during this time
Of all the contenders, the Sun
beam mystery car is the most
formost in appearance. It is
painted red and looks like a" huge
aluminium' cigar on wheels. It is
32 feet long and six feet wide.
Driving power is furnished by two
500-horsepower motors located
over the front and rear axels, re
spectively, capable, the designer
says, of developing 220 miles an
hour. Thev consume four and a
half gallons of gasoline a minute
The machine weighs 7.0 5 pounds
and cost $100,000 to build.
After the driver. Major H. O. D
Segrave. British racing pilot and
winner of last year's Hartford Cup
race at Marseilles, leaves the 180-
mile mark, he will be travelling in
unexplored territory. At a prelim
inary shop tire test under full
racing load the tires stood up to
120 miles and then exploded. Oth

"The function of the muffler is
to receive the hot gases which are
exhausted from the .cylinders at
high pressure several hundred
times each minute and after allow
ing them to cool and expand dis;
charge them into the air in a near

loud reports which would occur
if they escaped through a short

the statement asserts.
The ranks of motoring; con

with individuals who possess the
finest instincts. Once their at
tention is called to the need for
individual cooperation' looking to

act with reason.
"In one way there is more than
the humane element to the mat
ter of giving the animal a chance
to get qut of the way." the presi
cent of the national motoring body
declares. "There Is an element of
self protection as welL It is a
matter of record that an animal
the size of a dpg. easily may cause
the .wrecking of an automobile,
and this point should be remem
bered by all motorists.
, "In appealing for consideration
for the lives of thses Innocent jay
walkers it is obvious, of course,
that no one would expect thought-
to extend to the absurd
limit of jeopardizing the life of
occupants of the car. There have
been hundreds of such unfortunate
cases recorded in the history of
motoring accidents, however, and
they show the ultimate limit to
wbioh some individuals are willing
to go in protecting domestic and
wild animal life."
Night driving devolves a spe
cial responsibility upon the mo

because they often are rendered
blind by the car headlights, it is
stated. . . Woodland animals, rab
