 NEW BICYCLE RECORD
Maple Hill Boy Collapses at End of Long
 Ride

Thirty hours goes fast in most casts but when it comes to pedallng bicycle for that length of time It seems to drag. At least that is what Larry Gagnon, 16, of Maple Hill stated when, at the end of 30 hours and 10 minutes he was taken from his bicycle in an exausted con btion. The endurance record. as far as can be learned. is in his hands at the present time, the highest record previous to this having been reported at IS hours.
 Fredrick Kmetek of Maple Hill also started out in the ride but was thrown from hls wheel when he be- came lodged in a sandy road at the end of 1612 hours.
 Gagnon was caught by Eldridge Griffin when he sWerved and headed -or the rear of q car that was parked at the side of the road. He was completely eXausted at the end of the ride and it would have been im- possible for him to keep awake any longer.
 He refuel at intervals with soda and crackers, recognized by the lead ing bicycle endurance riders of the state as the most substantial of foods, breaking the monotony of the food by an occasional slice of choc- olate layer cake and American cheese sandwiches, no mustard. He received the heartiest support of his friends in his record making ride, and wishes to thank all those who made possible his achievement
 The officials, checkers and timers of the ride were John Griffin, Jo- seph Gagnon, Carl Johnson and Adolph Slater. The ride started at < p. m, Saturday afternoon and came to an end at 9:1O last night. setting a record that is far ahead of all such records here.

Local Jewry, deeply concerned Hebron and elsewhere in Palestine, was somewhat relieved today when a cablegram was received from Miss Anna Goldsmith, teacher in the Holy City, announcing that she has left the center of disorder and is now living in the Tal Aviv district, where no trouble has yet been reported.
 Miss Goldsmith. the daughter of Jonas Goldsmith of 219 West Main street, was connected with the pub lie school system here for several years as a teacher and later in charge of the attendance bureau. She has been in Jerusalem for about two years and has been teaching English in a private school maintained by subscriptions from Jews in America AS an American citizen she has been under the protection of the United States consulate, but that was re- garded as being insufficient with shooting at random both from the land and the air, and two weeks ago she left the city for the more quiet regions of Tal Aviv.
 Jonas Goldsmith returned to the country several months ago. This was before the religious feeling be- tween the Jews and the Arabs reach ed the point of open warfare and he was not present during any of the scenes of disorder at the opening of today had claimed 40 lives, includ- ing 12 Americans, and had piled up a list of injured so great as to make estimate difficult.
