when the 50-mile mark was beaten
and tramped around the track at
Fresno filling the holes and helping
the Peerless car to ride the many
bumps. The world record was
smashed, thanks to what Charles was
willing to perform.
His allegiance to the Peerless fac
tory kept Burman at it INCREASINGLY
and he travelled with Barney, helping
out IN the record-breaking stunts
which proved such a hit. Oldfield
was ready to smash world records
and always hit the mark suuarely.

Olddeld made ten strike from a
publicity viewpoint when he purchas-

built a low chassis and painted the
bonnet on either side as an American
flag, naming the speed car "Old
Glory" A month later he was noti-
fed that he was violating the United
States laws by using the flag and
name, and with the importation Of
the 120 Benz he turned the National

successfully. The 120 Benz was. the

Oldfield's Career and the
Machines He Has Driven

Several million persons have seen
Barney Oldfield drive famous racine
cars. For nine years the wonderful
master Of the steering wheel has
raced In all parts Of the country. He
always makes good with the crowd
Many thousands Of columns have
been used to tell about Olddeld's
nerve. daring and ability. But what

him to keep at the top Of the ladder
year after year? Surely Barney new.
Or claimed to DO pedestrian OF
championship caliber. Seven great
racing monsters have been used BY
Olddeld since he began his career
OF course. he has driven a few makes
Of stock chassis-including the Knox
which he now drives In connection
With his appearance on the racing
cars, but this story has to do with on
" the monsters.
Ten years ago Oldaeld was a mo-
tor-cycle rider on the bicycle track
pacing motor machines, having grad.
uated or evolved from the ranks Of
the champion bicycle riders. Togeth-
OF with Tom Cooper. the old-time
bicycle champion. who was his chum
Olddeld conceived the idea Of con-
structing two racing automobiles and
OF giving exhibitions around the

fore the the senate convened 1t was
reported that Senator Lorimer of iii

to forestall the adoption Of the La
Toilette resolution providing for am
other Investigation Of the charge that
Lorimer owed his election to bribery
and corruption.
Friends of the senator secuted the
report, but it was persistent. 1t was
stated that Lorimer would take this
action because the new evidence in
the sensational charge has given a
lead OF "the men higher up, who are
alleged to have contributed large
sums to the 100000 Jackpot that was
used in the Illinois legislature and that
the only way to save these men from
becoming seriously involved in the
meshes of the law was for the senator
to resign before the inquiry could be
pressed further.
A prompt and sweeping inquiry In
to new charges against Senator Lori.
mer of Illinois, growing out of the In
vestigation by the Illinois state legis.
iature was assured when the regular
republicans decided to present in the

duct OF such inquiry under the di
