Commodore Ernest Lee Jahncke, OF

a storm recently. on a trip from Ashe-
VILE to Toxaway. He was obliged 10
cross a small bridge. The stream, with
vicious cunning had so weakened the
foundation that the bridge was fairly
a trap for Mr.. Jahncke and his Pack
ard Twin Six touring car.
When the automobile was fairly on
the bridge, the structure gave way.
The car turned over leaving only part
OF one rear wheel and fender show
ing above the turbulent water. Mr..
Jahncke was obliged to swim out.

A Good Days Work. ~. ~. K.
There are few runners who enter
into 50-mile races nowadays, but in
1883 p. Golden ran this distance in
7:29:47. The 100-mile run, which is
quite distance for "a jaunt, was taken
in 17:36:14 Owing to the energy re-
quired and the time that is necessary
to carry on this work, the event has
not often been listed at athletic meets.
In Hawaii the soldier teams made a
good showing in the last marathon re-
lay, and this branch of sport is certain
to be boosted in the future. The mill,
tary authorities have given their SAM
tion to these runs, and this event
promises to bring out many stars fol
competition next year. HWdler
who have starred will be reviewed in
the next article.
