iig Felix Hazard possessed thorough
knowledge of poisons, but respecting
strophanthus his memory was trifle
hazy. There were certain associations
connected with it upon which he want
ed to refresh his mind. Alone in his
room, he went directly to the well-filled
book shelves that stood beside his
desk and, after running rapidly over
their titles, selected one. 1t was a
standard work on toxics.
But by and by he closed the volume,
replaced it upon it's shelf, and slumped
down in his desk-chair with a wearied
air, where he sat brooding many min
utes.
After a while resolution came to
him and he reached for the telephone.
He called for the coroner's Office and
in a moment had that official on the
wire. After disclosing his identity he
said

Owners Enjoy Driving
Cars Home From Factory

Long distance touring, far from dy-
ing out, is destined to have greater
vogue than ever this year, according
to officials of the Olds Motor works, OF
Lansing, Mich.
AS evidence to this effect they cite
the fact that but recently, within the
space of three or four days, no less
than eight long distance touring par
ties left the factory bound for differ
ent parts of the United States.
With one exception, all these parties
were private owners, who had Just
bought Oldsmobile Fights, and came
to the factory to get their cars and
drive them home for recreation.
One of the owners was ]. A. Writer
secretary of the Colorado Fuel Iron
Co, one of the vast group of Rookie
Teller interests, who had attended his
sons graduating exercises at Prince
ton University and decided on his way
back to drive through to his home IN
Denver.
Another was George Holtsclaw, who
left for Tulsa, Oklahoma. A third was
DR.. c. F. Neider, whose destination
was Geneva, n. Y. The fourth and
fifth were Drs: Ralph Morrill, and M
II. Everett, who struck out for Lin
coin, Neb. The sixth was V. ]. Clark
whose destination was Colhnsville
Pa; and the seventh, Harry Hendeer
of Burlington, VT
The one lone dealer of the lot was
]. c. Townsend, of Lodi, N. Y. When
asked why he was driving through
Townsend replied that just because he
was a dealer was no sign he couldn't
have a little fun.
Consequently, conclude Olds off,
cials, long distance touring is far from
its grave. With constant improvement
in automobiles, such as evidenced in
the Oldsmobile Eight, for instance
touring, over any distance, ceases to
he hardship and becomes unalloyed
pleasure, they say.

Haynes Makes Record;
New York to WASHINGTON

BY covering the 1882 miles between
Jersey City and Washington in seven
hours and twenty-six minutes, a
Haynes Light Six" touring car, driv
en- by D. B. Gish, Of Washington, D.
c., set a record that will stand for
some time. The mark is but two hours
slower than 1t takes the fastest trains
to cover the distance between the two
points, and they travel on a perfect
road bed, every foot of which is care
fully guarded.
The New York Washington road re-
cord which had it's starting point at
the Jersey City end of the ferry is a
mark that many automobile men have
coveted The route leads through the
most thickly settled portion of the
United States. Road conditions are
good, but travel at all points is con-
gested.
In 1911 S. A. Luttell, in a four evil
inder Packard touring car, set the first
mark. His time was II hours and Al
minutes. This mark stood for four
years In 1915 D. S. Hendrick in a
Franklin, clipped 2 hours and 32 min
utes from the record. His time was
8 hours and minutes. Two weeks la
ter e. B. Terry, in an Apperson, low
cred the Hendrick mark by 81 min
utes, making the distance in hours
and AZ minutes.
An examination of Gish's record in
the Haynes shows that he covered the
9S miles between Jersey City and Phil
adelphia in 2 hours and 80 minutes.
or at rate very near 40 miles an
hour. Newark, Elizabeth, New
Brunswick, and Trenton, N. J., are
towns that have speed ordinances
which must be obeyed. This meant in
the open country that better than so
miles an hour had to be done to hold
this average. 1t took two hours and
29 minutes to cover the 79 miles to
the Susquehanna river. The 40 miles
to Baltimore were covered in / hour
and minutes and hour and "a
minutes after arriving in Baltimore
the car was checked in Washington.
Five stops held up the record of
the car approximately fifteen minutes.
One of these at Marcus Hook, N. j.,
was for oil and gasoline, and the 9TH
ers were caused by freight trains and
traffic. The speedometer on the Haynes
record breaker showed 70 miles per
hour as maximum--almost unbeliev-
able speed over country roads.
