The play was the result of long practice on the part of the students as well as their directors. The plot centered on the heroffie Kathleen whose mother had been cheated of her rightful legacy by a sinful sister. The mother -in her deathbed told of her sister and made the daughter promise to rely on her for support after her cwn death. After the mother’s death the girl went to her wicked aunt’s bouse, who had ben changed during the I yeaers and who welcomed her i.iece The two nieces of MrS. Roylron were very Jealous of the new obsta cle in their path to Mrs. Keyltcn s riches and planned to have her ar- rested tor larceny by placing a watch in her satchel and calling the police, who searched the bag and found the missing watch. When the time came for trial the negro servant of Mrs. Roylton came on the witness stand and told of the- plot to have Kathleen put in prison. On this testimony she was released Jn the meantime Mrs. Roylton disin herited the two sinful nieces while Kathleen came into her own rights as the heir to the money, and ail ended happily.

From 5 to 100 Miles The Paige triumph is now complete. Speed—Power—Endurance When a Taigc “6-66” stock ch assis made the fastest official time of the reason for the Pike’s Peak climb, some idea of its amazing power and stamina was revealed under un usual circumstances. When on January 21st the Paige “5-C6” Daytona model traveled at a race cf 102.C miles a.i hour, thus setting an official world s stock can:si3 record for a mile, the ileetness of the “6-66” wee established. Wher it 100 different points throughout the count y 1U0 new local hill climbing records were made, the power cf the Paige “6-66 became a country-wide sensation. Now with these new records from 5 to 100 miles, made without a sl op, Paige has incon testably established its supreme powers of endurance, as well as of speed. There could be no feat that answered all questions cf su premacy with greater finality. The lesson to the car owner is obvious. No n 5 to 1 CO mi’t ■, all world’s official speed ’ fox- stc-J: chassis were captured by i‘ “6-66” Dayte ;i Model at the th- intown, Pa., track May 29th, 1921. 1 .»ring a world’s stock chassis record January 21st, wlu n the Paige “6-66” ... w»aa model covered a measured mile in . ju .,-1 hcxuiids. the Unicr.'own performance caps the climax to a long series of amazing 3 . . J. , thus, has made a clean sweep and stands today the unchallenged master of pnwer and speed- the supreme and unique '•pie among automotive products for * ■: stamina and endurance. When the mile record fell in January, Paige determined to make the record complete. With the officials of the A.A.A. racing board in charge, the tiack at Uniontown, Pa., was selected and Mulford driving a Daytona ‘ 6-66” stock chassis was off to shatter rec ords that: had.rer ained unass. liable since July 28th, 1917. From there on the Paige came roaring over the official’s wire with clock like regularity that ate up the miles greedily. Twenty-five thirty, fifty minutes went by and there was no noticeable slackening of speed. When the Paige thundred across the tape at the end of the 100th mile the feat liad been accomplished. In the most consistent performance ever recorded the records had fallen. The five, ten, twenty, twenty-five, fifty, seventy-five, 100-mile and One-Hour records had been • beaten in every instance by a handsome margin. The official figures showed that Paige had covered the full century in one hour, 6 min utes and 53.26 seconds, or 89 miles, 1510 yards in 60 minutes—which is just 250 yards less than 90 miles. The former hour record was 83 miles. And now for a brief review of “6-66” history. CLASSIC he can find no car on the market today cnat offers him more than the Paige “6-66.” The record is complete, and Paige stands as the undisputed leader of all American sporting cars. A Clean Sweep The first five miles were covered at a terrific pace, tl: • electric timer recording 3 minutes, 15:48 seconds, a speed of 91.8 miles an hour. METRO ♦ In Your Own Interest Make This Test We ask you to take just one demonstration in a “6-66” model and judge it from the standpoints of power, speed, acceleration, spring suspension and general motor effi ciency.
