The condition of Fred HarveyCutter
who was injured at Chesapeake Beach
day before yesterday IS much improved
The X-Ray taken yeestrday showed that
the injury was not so bad as was first
thought and that an operation will cure
the hurt.
1t would not be a bad idea for the car
agent to furnish with each new car he
sold not only the regular factory instruc-
tion book. but a set Of the traffic regula-
tions as well. Nine out of ten drivers

curb, on backing out if they wish to drive
to the left, that is, down the street will
II room prints, cut their car so that the
car when backed out into the street is
facing in the wrong direction. This is
absolutely against all traffic rules and
is dangerous. The traffic rules are not
so difficult that they cannot be easily
remembered by anyone and besides if

Bobby Hammond and his ghost car
that he claimed to have made such a
remarkable coast to coast record in, do
not seem to be checking up despite the
fact that he, Hammond, is willing to
wager a large amount of money that he
can repeat the performance, even in less
time than it took him a few weeks ago.

who have attempted to check up his
route according to information in various
trade journals and newspapers enroute,
do not seem to be able to find anyone
who checked him in or out anywhere
west of the Mississippi River. II he
can prove that he really did make the
trip in the time he claims, the record
should be recognized ard he and his car
given due credit, but If he cannot sub
stantiate his statements then he should
be forgotten and the sooner the better,
for there are those who have estab-
lished legitimate mark for the distance.
Until 1t Is beaten the laurels belong to
