t. show what may be expected Of
Oldfield when he is really trying. to
rut the mark down as low as possi-

But 12O miles an hour will not win
the race for either combination.
Oldfield's car has travelled 1879 an
hour and DePalma's car 121 miles an
hour, both records being made on
the three million dollar Brooklands
speedway in England. Both drivers
realize that it will be necessary for
the winner to equal a speed OF 130
miles an hour, which. is faster than
human ever travelled. And neither

case. If he would allow the stauncn

he has earned with his death defy>

De Palma's Motto, tFaithfuIneeo.'s
Another point to show the integrity
and faithfulness of DePalma was gtx~

been making daily visits over to see
DePalma at his garage and they are.

told that the Fiat would catch tire
with him, and he was worrying over 4

 Tired of applying to the masters for redress. he at length appealed to the boys, and, sending for one to his house, he said: Nov. my good fellow, I'll make this agreement with you and your companions. Let the fruit re- main on the trees till 1t becomes ripe. and promise to give you half."
 The boy coolly replied. ''I can say nothing to the proposition. sir. myself, but will make it known to the rest of the boys and inform you of their de- cision tomorrow"
 Next day came and brought with 1t this reply: ''The gentlemen of Harrow cannot agree to receive so unequal a share, since Mr. - is an individual and we are many."-LondoD Sketch.
