FRANKLIN MAKES
ANOTHER RECORD.

Three hundred miles across the
state OF Pennsylvania from Pitts
burgh to Philadelphia in the record
tiHle OF y hours and % minutes. il
the achievement made last week hv
J. NJ. Eyler of Pittsburgh. in a Series
Franklin stock touring car This
sensational drive represents the
fastest time ever recorded BY an
automobile between the two cities.
Inc trip was the result of a wager
| mat the distance could not be made
IN less IMAM l0h hours, and 81 900
was the stake. Mr.. EyIer started
In heavy fog from the Pittsburgh
courthouse at a. m. and at 2:2s
p. m. his Franklin was marked In
front Of Broad Street station. in
the very center OF the Quaker CITY.
Inc route which he traversed led
through many small towns and in
both terminal cities he had TO pass
through many miles OF downtown
sections, which In the case Of Phfla-
'delphla was a severe handicau be-
cause of his arrival during a heavy
tratnc hour. Only tive stops were
made during the whole trip, one at
susquehanna Bridge. Columbia. Pa.
where there was a Is minute DELAY
and short stop for gasoline.
Regardless OF the high speed at
which the car was driven. 81 miles
per hour. only 141z gallons of gaso-
line were consumed. which Is better
than 20 2-3 miles to the gallon.
Not content with once beating the
stipulated time in the bet, Mr.. Eyler
decided to repeat the performance.
so after one hour and a half spent in
Philadelphia, he drove back to Pitts
buFgh the same day, covering in an
500 miles in Is hours and So minutes.
with a total gasoline consumption OF
27h gallons for the round trip. an
average OF 21.S miles per gallon. Not
9 stop was made for tire or engine
trouble during the whole trip.
When II is considered that Mr..
Eyer Is SIS years old and drove the.
return trip almost all after dark.
his record OF nearly 20 hours almost
steady driving is remarkable.
The previous one way record over
this route is said to have been 8
hours and IS minutes.

10000 LEAGUES UNDER
THE SEA" OPENED TODAY
Big Screen Attraction at The orph-
cum First Four Days This
Week is Strong.

The underwater moving picture,
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under
the Sea-" began four day en-
fair to be one of the early season s
best attractions.
The Minneapolis Journals critic
ism of this picture probably sets
forth most graphically the high
merit of the production. 1t follows:
Scenes of beauty and of horror
from the bottom of the sea, from the
land, from the air and from the
oceans surface, woven and knit into
one Of the most striking and unusual
productions ever offered on the
screen captivated a big audience last
night, when 10000 Leagues Under
the Sea-" was staged.
1T was cinema production so
extraordinary that words fail the re-
viewer who attempts to describe it.
So impressive and overpoWering is
this massive spectacle that the ord
mary mortal is lost in the whirl of
its eight reels.
"Grownups were led back to the
days Of childhood when they hurtled
under the seas in the submarine
Nautilus" that wonder boat in
which Jules Verne put his pictur-
esque hero, Capt. Memo for the
greatest voyage of all time.
Despite the great scenic effects
introduced by the producers of the
film version of Verne's story. the
well constructed plot does not suf-
fer one whit and the narrative
sweeps majestically along to a pow
erful and compelling conclusion.
Perhaps the greatest scenes are
the torpedoing of ship on the high
seas; the divers horrible combat
with the huge octopus and the
actors battle with sharks in the
fathomless depths. These scenes are
portrayed with an effectiveness that
is truly startling.
For the benefit of those who
have forgotten the plot, it may be
explained that Capt. Memo set out
in his submarine to wreak vengeance
American warship to destroy the
subsea boat after 1t had sunk many
vessels fails and four persons fall in
to the sea and are rescued by Capt.
Memo. Their Embarrassing expert
ences while involuntary guests be-
meath the waves furnish the bulk OF
the story.
There is just enough of the love
element in the picture to lend il
strength and just enough views on
land to make the audience want to
see more underwater views.
"It is a picture without parallel;
a triumph of the cinema art that
will be remembered long after the
suggestive plays Of the season rest
In an unforgotten ash can. Every
parent should take his child to see
II. The most fervid description can
not do 1t Justice"
