The car was the same one In which Null
ford covered g nj mile in 261l seconds, or
orInond Beach a few weeks ago. The
trial was an official one, as II was sane
toned by the American Automobile As

acted as timers and judges so there is
little question but that the record Will
board at their next meeting. Incl

averaging about seventy-seven milea an
hour. or about eleven miles faster than
Edges time.
His only stops other than for oil and
gasolene, every $50 miles, were made
after he had covered / $50 miles. when
ne changed the left rear tire. as II
seemed slightly worn, and at the 1886
mile mark to clean some dirt out of his
carburetor, and again on the following
lap, when he changed the spark plugs.
Nnlford's driving was consistent
throughout On the odd hours he aver
aged seventy-nine and eighty miles an
hour, and during the even hours he was
compelled TO stop for supplies he aver
aged about seventy-four miles an hour.
After covering n miles in the first
hour milford covered 500 ndles In 81
hours, sZS1h miles in IL hours. When he
was l24jt miles ahead of Edges record
he had done 1000 miles in a trifie less
than 10 hours. He kept up his good
work, and shortly before . o'clock In
the afternoon passed Edges record OF

Rev. John A. Ryan. professor of po-
ltical science at Catholic University.
declared that the minimum wage upon
which a woman in Washington can
subsist is IS a week. He quoted fig
ures obtained from a recent govern
ment investigation showing that out of
80 woman employees as saleswomen in
department stores the average wage
received is S655 a week. OF S26 en-
ployed in laundries and mercantile es-
adjustments, 80 per cent receive less
than 50 a week and 80 per cent get
less than 1914 per week. or an average
wage of 1914.
According to the speaker. this is
less than the average minimum wage
paid women III other cities He stated
that the proposal for minimum wage
law for the District would be pushed
at this session of Congress in the event
an early decision should be handed
down by the supreme Court of the
United States sustaining the Legality OF
