HUDSON-ESSEX ANNOUNCE NEW ROADSTERS F IN CHRYSLER Alone, and almost noiselessly ; thru a starry night on the desert nndn blazing day following over thQ National Old Trull! route east from Los Angeles, August J. Minke Jr., an amateur and privnto owner of a Chrysler roadster, avowedly "out for the ride," succeeded in netting a new time record to Albu querque. N. M., when he arrived in that city one sunuay evening in April. The new record Is exactly 22 hours, 38 minutes, between I-oh , Angeles and Albuquerque, a dis tance of D18 miles, an average of a fraction less than 41 miles an hour for the entire trip; Trior to set ting out, ho had driven his car over 25,000 miles, Minke declarpd. Most of these have been tracking thru the mountains of California. The car oerformed perfectly thruout the gruelling run, pr the high avevage would not.huve been possible. The actual average speed is marked at 40.8 miles per hour for the distance, altho the speedo meter was registering about 50 miles per hour most of the way. High speeds of 60 and 65 miles per hour were touched frequently. Minke hal no trouble on the road. The car ho drove was fully equipped and complete with many nceoKBoripfl. The entire trip was made with the top up. FLIVVER SAM Make your noises, bum old boat! Onco they should have got my goat That was back when you were new And I set such store by you. Now your coddled days are o'er; You can't fret mo any more, lie that thump beneath your hood Bo that thump beneath your hood Knock or valvc-nlap, well and good I don't give a whoop, just so You have parts enough to go. Iong as you can split the breeze, That for technicalities!

Now I joy to treat you rough, Grand old junk-pile! Do your stuff! Some automobile drivers travel so fast they never arrive. The smaller the family tho big gor the automobile it buys. A policeman stopped a girl who was driving a car. "Modam." he said, "you are breaking the law. This is a one way street." Th e girl com m enced t o ca ry. "Well," she said, 't was going only one way, wasn't I?" It costs the average railroad company something tike $5000 a year to blow its locomotive whistle when approaching grade crossings, but it doesn't cost the motorist a cent to stop, look and listen. A. W. O. Here lies the body of Samuel Crane Who ran a race with a speeding train. Ho reached the track, got near across. Hut Sam and his car were a total loss. The. sexton softly tolled his knell, Speeding Sam on his way to well, If he'd only stopped to look and . listen He'd be living now instead of missln'. Stern Father: "Young man, you have been calling rather frequently on my daughter. Are your inten tions serious?" Young Man: "Certainly. I'm trying to persuade her to persuade you to purchase the make of auto mobile I am agent for." The pedestrian's future outlook depends largely on his present look out. Mechanic: "There's n fellow go ing down in a parachute." Aviator: "I'll sec if I can hit i him. It Isn't often wc get a chance A,fit a pedestrian." One trouble with most drivers Is that they think too lightly of the ounce of prevention. "Watchman, what of the night?" Aye, sir. It's pierced with auto lights from the cars of young rhctks and flappers returning home thru the dim mists of the morning. There are still men who believe that honking will relieve' the traf fic jam.
