An artificial bed IL miles long has
been .excavated from the River Shannon.
Ireland. which. flowing over its new
course will be trained over an artificial
waterfall for power purposes.
Evening star., 1928-05-13

To make their schedules, the limited trains use
eight engines and eight engine crews. The REQ Flying
Cloud came through with the same power plant with
which she started, with the same crew of two that
drove her out of Mami-though the temperature
averaged close to o0' all the way.
Nofa Single Sfop for Mechanical Trouble
ofAny Kind During the Entire Ran
Two years ago proved by long.lifc statistics ha,
No Other American Car Lasts as Long as REQ, Not
One. That showing had to do with years of lite.
This Flying Cloud has demonstrated the same thing
in mies-l600 OF the most gruelling miles TO which
an automobile can be subjected.
Not on a nice smooth circular race track-with
repair pits accessible about every two and half
miles-was this record made. When this Flying
Cloud cut loose from Miami il left its base of sup
plies rrevocaby behind. The drivers and the car they
were piloting we're on their own.
IT. under the stress of the sustained high speed il
broke connecting rod or burned out a bearing or
did any OF the hundred and one things that send
ing cars 10 the pits, everything was over so far as
any record was concerned.
But the Car came through like the thoroughbred
she is. Not single stop fot mechanical hosbie m 1000
miles Of tbe fastest driring that read conditions uoEa

That's stamina. That's dependability--pi4s speed
Evening star., 1928-05-13

Some may travel the same distance in less time
on race track where the repair kit and the me-
chanics ready at an instant's notice.
Butwe have idea that IL will be long time before
this new Flying Cloud record, for stretch of 1900
miles, under all of road and climatic conditions,
will be equalled-much less beaten.
You may never wish to travel from Miami to Chi.
cago that fast. You may never wish to maintain so
high an average speed. Nor may you wish TO make
eight hundred odd miles at an average speed of so
miles per hour as did the Flying Cloud from Miami
to Atlanta.
BUT YOU can do such things il you wish-when you
own Flying Cloud.
You can go farther and faster even-when you
drive REQ Flying Cloud.
You'll have the power that does the ordinary things
more easily. the extraordinary things more surely.
And you'll ride in floating comfort, no matter how
far or how fast you co..
You'll travel in the utmost safety, because Flying
Cloud steers easily and brakes surely quickly.
Heads will turn to watch your Flying Cloud, because
she is pleasure Day after day. year after year
you'll find enjoyment in her way Of doing things,
Try out AZ once.

HTILES matter no more Distance has become time.
1V1 And the swift sustained fight OF the REQ Flying
Cloud is fast becoming the measurement of distances
between places wherever Flying Cloud goes.
For Instance
Miami. Florida used to he ~ hours and 33 minutes
from Chicago by the fastest means OF land travel.
New Miami is only 80 hours and IS minutes away.
That's the time il took Flying Cloud roadster with
two drivers to travel from Miami to Chicago, May
3rd and 4th, 1923.
is Insignificant that the trail of the Flying Cloud
was $50 longer in miles than that covered by the
fastest ChicagoMiam train. II does not matter that
the Flying Cloud took the highways she foundthem
paved andunpaved, sunny stretches and storm-swept
sections, steep grades and hairpin turns-whle her
farbehind competitors rolled on steel rails safe
guarded in every way.
Miami is 3 hours and l 0 minutes-47, 400 seconds
nearer Chicago now.
While the Flying Cloud has again proved It's ability
to sustain high speed hour after hour under all con.
dtons, without resortng to tremendous top speeds
to keep up its average.
Siaeigbts on Suyf Sailing
The Dixie Limited pride of the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois Railroad, is the fastest train between Miami
and Chicago Ii travels 408 miles of smooth safe
guarded rails in 43 hours and s5 minutes, average
of 81 miles per hour.
The Floridan. crack Illinois Central train, covers
the ,4o3 miles from Chicago 10 Miami its tracks
in hours and IS minutes, an average OF 34A miles
per hour.
The REQ Flying Cloud--you can easily own
like it-oyer ordinary roads, through country, town
and city, sailed 1901 miles in 80 hours and IS
minutes averaging SAG miles per hour for the entire
distance.

BERRY CROP REACHES PEAK
Lower Prices Mark Opening of Sea
son in Delaware With Prices Lower

Lower Prices Mark Opening of Sea
son in Delaware With Prices Lower
The strawberry crop of lower Della
ware is expected to be at its peak the
latter part of next week, according to
many of the extensive growers. The
early varieties are maturing rapidly
in some localities, while in other sec
tions they are not ripening so rapidly.
Soil conditions have a great deal to
do with the maturity of the fruit.
Berries planted on high land in one
field in some sections of Sussex coun-
ty will not ripen as quickly as they
will in the low lands on the same
farm. This has been demonstrated
time after time. Moisture in the low
lands, it is stated, has much to do
with this condition. AS usual, follow
ing frosts and freezes during the lat
ter part of March and April, reports
are generally sent out to the pros
poets for the berry crop. Invariably
these reports, coming from sources
wholly unreliable as to crop conditions
are to the effect that the berry crop
will be a total failure and that grow
ers would hardly be able to meet ex-
penses. Such reports were spread
broadcast this season. The berry crop
in lower Delaware, one of the banner
sections along the Atlantic Coast, is
going to normal and will surpass some
seasons within the past five years. No
one can foretell what the yield will be,
and it will not be known how it COM
pares with the other seasons until the
crop has been harvested. So far, in
dications would seem to point to lower
prices at the opening of the season
than in some former years. The mar
ket, however, is expected to be much
better within the next week. Prices
being received at this time are much
below the receipts of last var at this
time. Delaware growers attribute
this, to a great extent, to the heavy
shipments by Virginia and Maryland

town and Odessa, quite filling the day
with fitting tributes to our nations
dead Sixty years ago Memorial Day
was instituted. When the David c.
Harrison Post, No. IA, decorated the
graves of soldiers last Wednesday,
they continued custom inaugurated
when General John A. Logan, Nation
al Commander of the Grand Army of
the Republic, on May 9Th, 1868, issued
general order No. 1, calling for that
tribute of honor and of sorrow. Since
this time May Both has been a Ma
tional holiday, the one day of the year
set aside by the people of the United
States of America to honor their dead
heros. With the passing Of each war
great forces commence the work of
preventing further wars, deeming war
as unnecessary, but not withstanding
this, wars have occurred and we have
every reason to believe that wars will
occur. Human greed is the basic
cause for war and until this can be re-
moved from the hearts Of those in
power, wars will continue. If it were
only possible for the nations of the
world to completely outlaw war, what
wonderful benefits could be enjoyed by
all; the millions and millions of dol
lars spent annually for preparedness
could then be applied towards making
this world most marvellous place in
which to live The thought is purely
idealistic, as of our present day, but
with the steady advancement of un-
derstanding, it is hoped our posterity
may accomplish this, where we have
failed. Knowing the distinctive hor-
rows of war, our war veterans least
! of all wish to encourage it.
