RECORD BREAKING MAIL ESSEX
EXHIBITED BY H. W. CASWELL
Local Dealer Got Transcontinental
Flyer fer Exhibition Purposes
On Friday and Saturday

Grandiather's stories of the pony ex-
press and stage coach of the pioneer
davs of the west, with their intrepid
warrior riders and drivers, were recall
ed ever so wildly last Friday and Sat
urday when the first automobile to
cross the continent with Uncle Sans
mail bags in the record time of about
four days and a hall was paraded
through the streets of Middlebury by
H W. Caswel local representative of
the Essex motor car The inscription
across the body of the sturdy little
machine, Essex Transcontinental Mail

CISCO days, n hours, 43 minutes,
never failed to draw crowd of ad-
mirers whenever it was parked near the
curb or attract a stare as it was driv
en- slowly by in advertisement of the
same latent power and record in all
OF its brothers and sisters.
The record breaking Essex exhibited
by Mr.. Caswell was loaned to him for
only two days. 1t was one of a team
of four of the same model that made
the transContinental trip against time,
all of which hung up individual records
on the completion of the long journey
from the Statue of Liberty to the
Golden Gate Driven day and night,
through desert and canyon, over noun
tains and through the valleys of the
width of the nation, they rushed I'm
Gle Sans mail as it had never been
hurried before twenty-five different
men had driven No. 3, its demonstrators
told us here, in relays without a halt
through every kind of weather and
over every sort of road.
And now the champion quartet are
making sort of vaudeville tour of
the country, heralding their achieve
ment in every hamlet of the states.
No. is at present making tour of
the eastern states, being loaned or a
short time to the various representa-
tives of the manufacturing company.
From Middlebury it went to Bristol
and then on to Burlington, Brattle

If one six-footer with gray
eyes and olive skin likes your
style, II is pretty good bet that
another one resembling him will
like you, too. If the baby that
passes you up for some fairer

SIMS RE|NSTATED
ON CONDITION He
ADMIT MISTAKES
Secretary DENLY Now Expects
No Further Transgressions
by Speechmaking Admiral.
BIZ Universal Service.

Rear Admiral william s. Sims,
publicly repripanded for his now
famous 'jackasS' speech In London
on June z, was permitted TO resume
his post as president OF the Naval
War College only on condition that
he publicly admit the error OF his
ways. 1t was learned yesterday.
Secretary of tho Navy Denby. who
personally administered the public
rebuke to the voiubie admiral. has
declined to discuss the. terms OF the
settlement with the admiral. How
ever, IL IL a generally accepted
theory that he expects no further
transgressions on the admirals part.
This news OF the stipulations made
by the secretary prior to closing the
incident with the public reprimand
has fully explained the "I'm sorry
interview with which the admiral
greeted the official announcement
in his case. That -rm sorry" atti-
tude represented q complete rever-
pal for the spesch-making admiral.
From the time he delivered the
speech in London until he conferred
with Secretary Denby, Admiral Sims
boldly stood by his words. though
contending that the text had been
garbled. The secretary took the
admiraI's own version of the speech
and based the blistering rebuke upon
that version.
While no one suspects that Presi-
dent Harding played any part In the
disciplining of the admiral. there is
q strong belief that Fridays visit to
the White House was at least sug-
gested as means OF getting
forcibly before the American public
the complete change in front on the
admirars part.
That visit at the White House by
Admiral Sims was timed. accidentally
or otherwise. to occur simultaneously
with the DENLY announcement of the
reprimand. 1t was perfectly obvious
that the admiral would there be
called upon 10 deliver his message
