DRIVE
SETS RECORD
Fenwick Beats Train
Across Continent
In Dodge Six
Aercss the continent by auIomobile

Across the continent BY automobile
in rs hours and IL minutes!
This is not m market set in q pro-
fessional attempt to make q new rec
ord. but the astonishing feat OF a tool
salesman who found il necessary for
business reasons to drive his own car
from Los Angeles to New York In
the fastest possible time.
Racing across country in specially
equipped cars, under special police
escort and under the most favorable
conditions for the sole purpose Of
beating time" is now a thing Of the
past, for Harold vi. Fenwick or Phiia-
delphia has established a new record
for an owner-driven motor car.
Fenwick was certain his Dodge
Brothers Victory Six car, with a mile
age of 12,4S7 miles and which he had
driven 70 the west coast, could turn
right around and take him to New
York hours ahead Of the fastest train
schedule. Sharing this idea vas his
companion, G.. wv. Brinck. The two
shook hands and were officially
checked out Of Los Angeles at Tat
.. m. August I on their way east.
Hair raising experiences interviewed
until they were officially checked In
New York at 3 o'clock the morning Of
August 8, just rs hours and 13 min
utes later, allowing for the difference
in time between the two cities. They
had bested the fastest trains BY more
than seven hours. Their speedometer
reading showed they had negotiated
3,272 miles at an average speed at 43
miles an hour. 1t was then they sat
down to write the Dodge Brothers
factory their experiences.
Days Of preparation and special
equipment for cars usually making
this run meant nothing to them-
Their car was ready Is IL stood, and
were it not for a three hour delay
i'm Arizona resulting from a wreck on
a sharp curve, they would have brok-
en- coast to coast records by a wide
margin. Up and down mountain
roads, across deserts, through mud
and rain and in city traffic, the Vic
tory engine faltered, their re-
port stated.
The drivers had their narrow es-
cape from death in Arizona when
they were forced off a mountain road
in a collision with ar approaching
car. Surveying their plight, the men.
uninjured, agreed that the two walled
Victory body saved their lives. Dam
age consisted Of a caved in body,
broken windshield. bent front axle
and steering gear, a demolished
wheel, and jammcd front brakes.
They were pulled out on the high
day, and then proceeded under their
own power 70 Kingman, Ariz. where
emergency repairs were quickly made
BY a Dodge dealer without replace
ment Of any parts. A sledge hammer
corrected most of the damage. The
stop cost them three hours in time.
In Kansas, the drivers were again
delayed By flooded roads, ard IL was
necessary 10 take a ninety mile de-
tour around Salina. At one time il
rained SO hard that they disconnected
the fan 10 keep IL from throwing
water over the engine. Stops were
made six times enroute for changing
and repairing tires. Gasoline aver
age was 16 miles to the gallon.
The route Of the trip included Bar

BUSTED, TO GET PAY
Deposed School Official to
Collect $662.10.

j. F. Thornton, one of three de-
posed assistant school superinten-
dents, will find some measure of So
lace in $66210 the school board
must pay him for the six weeks in
terval between July /, when he was
ousted, and Aug. Is, when his con-
tract terminates.
Martin Hugg, school board attor-
ney. submitted this opinion to the
board of school commissioners to-
day, in response to Thornton's de-
mand that he be paid his salary
until his contract terminates.
D. T. Weir and Miss Flora Drake,
the other two assistants to Super
intendent Charles F. Miller, who
we're let go in the shakeup effective
July l, were not so fortunate. Their
contracts had been worded to term
mate on that date.
Thornton's salary was $500 a
year. He is to receive three more
bi-weelly installments of $220.70
each, although his services with the
schools have terminated.

There's always the chance that

I'll take that chance. Call her

She knew he was winning. Still,
she tried to draw him away from

to go.
Rod felt embarrassed and looked
sympathetically at the other men.
BERTHE Lou ought to know he had
to give them a chance to win their
money back. Pretty soon" he said
impatiently to her.
Before the evening was over all
but he regretted his refusal to stop

CHAPTER x1

"WOU'RE cuckoo" Rod told Ber-
L tie Lou, but he said it with a
smile. "Of course Molly likes you.
"Of course she doesn't" BERTHE
Lou returned as stoutly. But she
likes you. And she likes Lila"
Rod looked up quickly. He was
tying the laces of his black shoes
There was a queer sound in Bertie
Louis voice.
81 think you're mistaken, honey,
he said soberly; "but if Molly isn't
friendly toward you we won't GO
there"
"We must" BERTHE Lou said
fatty. WED be in terrible fix
if you lost your position now. We've
spent SO much money in just a few
days. I've no idea where it's gone
to-" she added plaintively.
81 have" Rod said decisively
tits gone for keeping up with New
York. But I guess Tom wouldn't
can me just because you and Mol
lie failed to hit it off. What's
wrong, anyway You we're friendly
enough with Molly in Wayville."
"Its a silly thing, but I think
she believes I was trying to put
something over on her." Berthe
Lou replied.
make her believe my parents are
wealthy, or something like that
She's made several illusions to
buffers that make me think she
found out after that first day she
came here to see me that we never
had an income tax return sheet
in the house"
Rod was quiet for moment
Then: WELL" he said gently, "you
did throw a bluff by coming to this
hotel"
"You know why" BERTHE Lou ex
claimed. "But I had no idea what
it would cost. Anyone can make
a mistake
"But you wouldn't move out the
next day like I wanted to-"
mo, I wouldn't. Not with Molly
Fraser trying to patronize me-"
Rod looked at her with a touch
of evaporation. "And yet you accept
invitations to have dinner with
them"
I'm doing it for your sake. But
I'm not going out of my way to
be agreeable to her. won't kow-
tow to anybody. That's why I told
you we ought to come home early.
If I stay I'm sure to say something
to her. I'd never have wanted 10
come to New York if I'd known
Molly expected to make a constant
companion of me-"
"This is a hot mess. But you
brought Lila's name into it a mo-
ment ago. What's Molly's liking for
her got to do with it?"
BERTHE Lou stole a cornerwise
glance at him. His face was per-
fectly impassive. well, you know
Molly's asked her to come to New
York." she said evenly.
"Sure, I know it. But can't Molly
like you and Lila both?"
BERTHE Lou hesitated, then de-
cided to say it. 81 think she did,
but I don't believe she knew"--her
voice dropped-"about you and Lila,
until she had US all to dinner at the
Arlington"
There isn't anything to know
that would stop her from being
friends with either one of you"
Rod said quickly.
