The contest which created a great
deal of interest throughout the whole
country has been an important one
in demonstrating the progress toward
perfection being made in the construc-
ton of automobile engines, and in their
management and control.
That the contest has been of great
benefit and interest as well as pleasure
Is the opinion freely expressed by many
Automobiles, and its success should
furnish sufficient cause for another
such run at a future date. Much is due
to the representatives of the New Jer-
sey Motor Club and the A.. A. A, who
ably assisted in making the event such
a memorable success.

The first auto endurance contest
originated and promoted by the STAR
and run under the auspices of the New
ark Motor Club, with the sanction oil
the A. A. A., yesterday resulted In a
remarkable success There were
tSenty-eight cars out of thirty-seven
completing the course with perfect
scores. This shows to what degree of
perfection ears are now manufactured.
The rum, covering a distance of 1871
miles, over the most picturesque sec
ton of the State, was made without
accident or mishap. The road was
generously marked with danger signals
and signs to protect and guide the
contestants in their coursel
The twenty-eight cars making a per-
feet score, covering the course in just
seven hours without stopping their
engines, will each be awarded a silver
cup and the drivers. will receive a gold
medal from the STAR,
The cars were favored nearly all The
way by excellent roads and no condi-
lions of a serious nature were encoun-
tered. Had the course been muddy or
slippery or over a less suspicious road
bed, it is probable that the number of
perfect scores would have been some
what reduced.
The race was none the less interest
ing, however, and was not without its
examples of endurance and difficulties.
The big johnson three-ton auto truck,
carrying 5000 pounds of coal and four
men, had a thrilling experience. Near
Petersburg the driver OF the truck tried
to. avoid a hole in the road, running the
truck to one side. where it became inn
bedded in the mud. The crew worked
and tugged aways valiantly for five
hours and at last succeeded in getting it
on the road again by building a cordu-
roy road of sticks, stones and fence

And a doughnut amt a %cruller, l am

If a cruller is a doughnut when it's
round, then, sure as fate.
A doughnut is a cruller when it's
twisted, bent or straight.
But curved or twisted, round or square,
triangular or fiat
A doughnut amt a c%ruller, / am salts

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In answer to your query regarding
d%oughnuts and crullers. may say that
Webster defines doughnuts as "A small
cake, usually sweetened, often made
with yeast, and fried brown in deep
fat" A cruller is "a small sweet
cake made IA rich egg batter, cut
into rings, strips or twisted, and fried
brown in deep fat"
If the dictionary doesn't make the
thing clear. why not try a cookbook?
