0TUDEBAKER motor cars do
- everything but fly, in bringing
transportation to the far corners
of the earth. Indeed, in one part
of Colombia, they are transported
inland by aerial cables over impen-
etrable mountains and so may be
said to take to the air itself.
An enterprising New Hampshire
owner replaced the front wheels Of
his Studebaker with sled runners,
and put cleats on the rear wheels
to catch in the snow. He had q
winter car which no snow bank, no
steep hill could conquer.
The Banff region of Canada was
generally closed to winter motor
traffic. Dog sleds were the chief
means of transport. Then an ac-
tive Studebaker owner concluded

Mrs. Coates Denies She
Told HOudini PrOber of
White House Seances

Clairvoyantly, Mrs. Jane p.
Coates saw q tub Of boiling wafer
come between her and Miss Rose
Mackenberg, Houdini's investigator,
when Miss Mackenberg. sought q
seance last Monday, and, according
to Mrs. Coates story at the reopen
ing OF the hearing on the bill to
control mediums practices today,
she interpreted the sign to mean:
zone OF US is going to get into
hot water soonr
Mrs. Coates statement to the
judiciary subcommittee of the House
District Committee implied that the
tub OF boiling water was an accu-
rate sign, because somebody has
jumped or been pushed into hot
water since Miss Mackenberg's tes.
timony that Mrs. Coates told her
at the seance that she (Ndrs. Coates)
had conducted spiritualiStic and
table-tapping seances at the White
House.
This statement Mrs. Coates We
hemently denied today. She said
It was made up out OF whole cloth
and circulated by Houdini merely
to prejudice the President against
signing a bill awarding her $4,750
for damages to her property during
the war.
Mrs. Coates statement, which she
prepared in advance, said she knew

obeyed as II in q trance, giving evil
dence that she was under the In
f1uence OF the black magic and
hypnotismv or Houdind, and used
to obeying his orders.
The story Of the White House
seances, the medium declared, was
based on her statement to Mis-.
Macken1erg that the cause o.
spiritualisn1 was fIourishing In
homes of the wealthy in the
shadow OF the White House." She
said she had In mind the late Mrs.
Harding, who, according to Mrs.
Coates, openly visited mediums, 80
did many connected with her dur
ing the Harding Administration.
She told of the methods Of her
cult in ordaining ministers Of the
spirituaIistic religion. and declared
that the passage Of the Bloom bill,
on which the hearings are being
held and which is advocated by
Houdini to curb trickery and fraud
by alleged mediums. could never
be effected because the measure -
unconstitutional.
Spiritualism, she said, has bean
investigated and realized in homes
OF wealth and refinement, and this
bill will bring q vigorous protest
from this powerful element to bear
upon Congress-

Houdini explained that before the

SOUTH BEND, June 21.-When
the wires flashed the news of the
record ocean-to-ocean run of Alb
jenkins and Ray Peck in stock
model Studebaker Big Six, a final
thrilling chapter was written into
the annals of many attempts to beat
the fastest train time from New
York to San Francisco in an auto
mobile.
The combination of two Salt Lake
City business men and the ''Sher-
iff' had finally done -t-in the
record smashing time of S6 hours,
20 minutes.
1t was II victory not only over
the abbreviated time schedule that
had defeated the several previous
attempts, but also, over tempestu-
Gus elements. For the greater pOr-
tion of the trip, the heaviest rains
on record for this time of the year
beat down on the plunging car, OBJ
Scuring the driver s vision and turn
ing the dirt roads into stretches of
slippery, treacherous mire.
me story written by Jenkins and
Peek with the Sheriff' is one
that encompasses all the thrills and
romance of automobile road tests.
And it offers remarkable proof of
the stamina and power built into
the modern automobile.
Jenkins and Peek had broken all
of the records in their own terri
tory, holding practically every one
of importance in the west, even
though neither is a professional
driver. jenkins is u successful
building contractor in Salt Lake
and Peck, the owner of Il large ga
rage. It's just hobby and n re-
creation with them, this road rae
ing. Just short time ago they
drove their "Sheriff' from Los
Angeles to Salt Lake City in 16
hours, II minutes for a record that
attracted nationwide attention. 1t
was 8 hours, s minutes faster tban
the fastest train time.
They already held the record from
Salt Lake to San Francisco and
those from Salt Lake tot Remote
Provo-and to Boise. There was
not any p lace more to run in their
country. They had to look for
more highways to conquer.
