DEAD" SOLDIER REVIVED.
Surgeon Messages Mans Heart and
Thus Restores Its Action.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London. June IA wonderful case Of
restoring the dead to life has Just come
to light in the case of Lance Corporal
Mayes. Of the Queens westminsters,
who had part OF his right arm blown off
by shell in the fighting at Ypres.
The injury was so bad that after the
first aid dressings the limb had TO be
amputated. He came to England and
was in a hospital in the Midlands for
some time. A short time ago he re-
covered sufficiently to leave the hospital
and came 10 London apparently quite
well. But for some reason infection
again appeared in the amputated arm and
further operation was deemed neces-
sary TO stop the danger Of poisoning.
Corporal Mayes was put under an
anaestheuC. but the heart collapsed and
ceased to beat The case seemed TO be
hopeless and the waiting relatives in a
few minutes would have been informed
OF his death. Rut Dr. Lionel f c. Nor
bury, the distinguished surgeon, who
handled the case. was not beaten. He
made an inCision in the side Of the pa
tlent and inserting his hand and lifting
the diaphragm reached the heart and
gently massaged the organ with his
fingers The heart responded to the ac-
ton and began to beat again. The pa
tient had been restored TO life when all
other means would have failed.
Lance Corporal Mayes is now on the
highroad to complete recovery.

RECORD MADE IN
JERSEY CITY RUN
D. Bradley Gish Hangs Up
New Record of 7 Hours
and 26 Minutes.

By covering the 1882 miles between Jer-
sey City and Washington in seven hours
and twenty-six minutes, D. Bradley Gish,
driving a Haynes Light Six touring car,
with Harry Duckstein as observer, last
Wednesday set a record that will stand
for some time. This time is but two
hours slower than it takes the fastest
trains to cover the distance between the
two points, and they travel on a perfect
roadbed, every foot of which is closely
guarded.
The New York Washington road record,
which has its starting point at the Jer-
sey City end of the ferry, is a mark that
several have coveted. The route leads
through some of the most thickly settled
portion of the United States. Road con-
ditions are good, but travel at all points
is badly cOngested.
Back in 1911 S. A. Luttrell, in Packard
touring car, set the first mark. His time
was II hours and Il minutes. This mark
stood for four years. In 1915 D. S. Hen
drick, in a Franklin, clipped hours and
% minutes from it. His time was 9 hours
and minutes. Two weeks later E B.
Terry, in a Epperson. lowered the Hen
drick mark by II minutes, making the
distance in hours and 42 minutes.
Fast Run to Philadelphia.
An examination Of Gish's record shows
that he covered the 9S miles between
Jersey City and Philadelphia in hours
and 90 minutes, or at the rate of very
near 36 miles an hour. Newark. Eliza
bath, New Brunswick and Trenton, n. j.,
are towns that have speed ordinances
that must be obeyed. This meant that
in the open country better than sixty
miles an hour had to be done to hold
this average. It took hours and % min
utes to cover the 79 miles to the Susque-
hanna River. The 40 miles to Baltimore
was covered in l hour and 3 minutes and
l hour and 26 minutes after arriving in
Baltimore the car was checked in in
Washington.
The car, which was equipped all around
with Empire tires, was not delayed one
minute due to either mechanical or tire
trouble.
The average miles per hour was slight
ly better than 81
The following is the mileage and time
schedule:
