Three times Sargent had attempt

Years ago." Belasco related,
Sargent had a love affair that sad

Anderson, who has since married
and lived in London in retirement
from the stage.
Sargent adored her. He taught
her how to act. He was engaged to
Mary for a long time. There was a
sudden end to the love affair and I
think they never saw each other
again."
Since then Sargent had been "a
changed man." said Belasco. He

HUPP IMPROVES
 STORM CURTAIN
Rigid Metal Frame Prevents Cracking And Check
 ing Of Light

Novel improvements in tho manu- facture of storm curtains. in their fit and in storing them. have been made for the four models of the new Hup- mobhe-the touring car, roadster, special touring and special roadster
 "In manufacturing them" declares ,H. M. Bailey of Motor Sales company, "the curtain lights are enclosed in a rigid metal frame, protecting the lights from being scratched or crack ed as the curtains are put on or talk en off the car. The unique metal frame surrounding the light on all four sides also makes the entire cur tain much stiffer, consequently much easier to handle, both in removing or installing. The metal frame also assists in retaining the original per feet snug fit of the curtains. It makes them practically weather proof over long period of usage.
 "Of equal importance to close fit- ting curtains is the question of their storage. In the touring and special touring models. a compartment In the vfded, where the curtain remains flat fn their frames, do not chafe each other, and arg ready for instant use.
 Tn the roadster and special road ster, a special curtain holder Is pro- vtded inside the interior departm ent.
 Another valuable feature Is that curtain fasteners are so placed that they allow all curtains to be put in position quickly from inside the car. This is especially important in the event of sudden storms"

DURANT MAKES
 GREAT RECORD
Fast Cars Set A New Mark
 At Altoona Race

Eddie Hearne, Durant special pi- lot, and veteran auto race driver, who has travelled in the money at many racing classics and recently distin- guished himself on the Indianapolis speedway has set a new worlds rec ord for himself and the Durant spe- cial," says Charles Hammond, local dealer in Durant and Star cars.
 "Hearne's speed for the 200-mlle race al Altoona, Pa., September 5, most five miles an hour faster than his own previous record, made at Kansas City, July 1.
 This establishes not only a track record, but a worlds record for cars of 122 cubic Inches piston displace- ment, which have been the standard of this years races. Hearne's vic fact that although he was the oldest driver entered at Altoona. he was flagged the winner after circling the great bowl 160 times without a halt at the pits, feat that 1t is thought has never been equalled by a winning driver in a race of that distance.
 Hearne's time for the entire dis tance was one hour. 47 minutes, 97.00 S-5 seconds, which attested 200 miles of driving at terrific speed that only the most mechanically sound racing machine could endure.
 Jerry Wonderlich helped to make 1t a Durant special day by taking second place, his time, 110.3 miles an hour, being only a fraction un- der Hearnes average. The Idol of Hollywood. as he Is termed at the tracks. drove a consistently fast race It being nip and tuck between his car and the winners, both Durant specials of equal displacement.
 "Not content with the two major prizes, the Durant special team cor ralled three more, Fred Conner com ing in at fourth place, Frank Ell liott at sixth and Orah Haibe, driv- ing for Bill White, at ninth. This was proof of consistent performance by the Durant specials. yet was nc more remarkable than their showing

WILLARD BATTERY SE RVICE ADVICE

Hot weather. just like extremely

Hot weather, just like extremely cold weather. Is a danger period in the life of any storage battery, un- less the proper care Is given 1t. So warns MT. w. E.

If tho level of the water is permitted to reach a point below the tops ot th. plates. the upper portion Is Ieft exnosed and useless. The covered portion of the plates are then obliged to assume the extra burden or the useless portion. This causes raplu overheating and damage not seen aI the time, but which results III ooAi siderable expense later
