Mr.. Glass spoke up and said:
Il am sorry, gentlemen, but l am
a teetotaler. l never took a drink
in my life"
And then the story of how the
Washington official was offered a
drink in dry" Kansas leaked out.
1t seems that when the Secretary
reached Hutchinson a local scout"
was sent to meet him to learn what

may explain why so much unusual

Overland stock car, Model 80

80 was taken from the salesrooms of
the Carhart Motor Company at Okla

and driven to the lobby of the Lee
Huckins Hotel. There the gear
shift lever was disconnected from
the low, middle and reverse gears,
and the gear-box was sealed in high
The motor was started: the car left
the hotel and did not return for
seven days; that was April 5th.
The Overland 80. driven by re-
lay of four drivers, ran night and
day. the motor never stopping for
1853 continuous hours, The drivers
had no advantage of gear shifting
during the two days of rain on mud,
dy roads and the twelve to fifteen
hours they spent each "a hour day
on goo0 and bad city pavements,
