large number of the new families
entered business in Oregon, five
new auto camps and stores being
purchased, two grocery stores, a

of Newark, N. J. were still taking
turns al riding a bicycle around a
city block in Irvington after the
two weeks of continuous wheeling
as I write this. Jimmy Dooley of
Hackensark and his team of five
cycling endurance riders were
hopeful of lasting longer than the
Newark hoys, because their bicycle
was in better condition, in a doz
en other New Jersey cities from
one to five teams of boys were
trying to break the cycling endur
ance record.
Nobody knows how long anyone
has ever kept a kite in the air, but
several teams of boys in liie East
are trying to set a record which
will go down in history.
Five
days and nights is the longest per
iod of success recorded as this is
written.
Sundry teams of roller-skaters,
running in relays, are after a
world’s endurance record in that
field, also. And the girls have
joined in, with day-and-night con
tinuous swinging and seesawing.
Altogether, it seems as if the
children of America were having
a pretty good time this Summer!
