FEATURES of INTEREST to WOMEN
BENT FOR COTTON
LIGHT ON PURSE
Can Look Like a Million at
Very Little Expense.

The vogue for cotton fabrics
makes 1t possible to dress on next
to nothing" and look like a million.
Never have such cottons been
seen in the shops. Some Of them
are mistaken by many women for
new light wools-they are brushed
cotton meshes, much finer, softer
and more flattering than those Of
last year. Then there are cotton
tweeds and hopsacking cotton
crepes In the smartest color COM
binations. It's hard to believe they
wash well, but they do.
A lot more Of the new cottons
are so silky that it is easy to think
that somebody's fooling about
their texture-faconne, broadcloths,
cotton standings, cotton voiles In
fascinating new designs.
There are a whole flock that imi-
tate linens, as described by Betty
Thornley, in the Country Home:
lovely printed things in the new
Algerian reds and navies and bright
blues, all of them combined with
white. Blue or green for the fair
girl, If she plans to travel, for cot
ton wolfe won't crush. And the
latest of all is cotton lace for the
evening" real rage, as witnessed
by the number Of white cotton lace
frocks in the smarter stores.
OF course some of the best on
the market are cottony cottons-
everything one ever heard of In
the old days. but very popular in
the new shades. Dotted dimities
and printed dotted swisses, printed
piques, a new thing they call leno-
lawn with a hemstitched effect,
stripes and plaids Of all sorts, sheer
chambrays with eyelets-and mar
quisettes, of all things, back again
for afternoon dresses.

For many years have been engaged in auto
mobile racing and have very frequently done
more than 200 miles per hour. I have not
found the strain at all great. Why should it
be unbearable at 300 miles per hour? AS for
the machine, the same applies. Improvements
in construction are taking place every day, and
I expect manufacturers will go on improving
their products in the light of the lessons they
are constantly learning from each successive
record attempt.

misfortune and disappointment. I was
logged by misfortune in my attempt on the
worlds speed record at Verneuk Pan in April,
1929
had decided to make my first attempt early
in the morning of April 81. But there was
defect in the timing apparatus and my start
had to be postponed. At last all was ready.
My racer, the Blue Bird, was drawn out to its
position; the wind, which was unpromising
earlier in the morning, had died down; condi-
tons looked ideal large number of people
had come out to see the run and private cars
crowded on each side of the course and some
were straying on the tracks as WELL
It was some time before the track could be
cleared. Valuable minutes had been lost. The
wind came up again, great clouds of dust blew
across the pan. There was nothing for It.
climbed out Of the cockpit and we rolled the
car back to its marquee.
In the afternoon the wind was still boisterouS,
but in the early evening it Gained considerably
and I decided to make my attempt. I went
down the measured mile with slight following
wind. My speed over that distance worked out
at 225.59 miles per hour.
After changing all the tires and filling up
with water made my return run without the
80 minutes prescribed wait, but the wind in
creased In violence, and my return speed was
only 212 miles per hour which brought the
average for the two runs down to 210 miles rer
hour The rising wind was all part OF the luck
of the game. Now 1t is my opinion that
Verneuk Pan could easily be made one of the
worlds finest speed tracks. But it is badly in
need of attention. With sufficient outlay of
money it could be made nearly perfect. 1t was

made the return journey felt two severe
bumps, and when you moving at a great
speed bump is thing to remember. In fact
they strained my back and gave me headache
TT was not until five days afterward that I
could make the next attempt, and this time
my detectives were the kilometer, ve-kilometer

other two became the trophies of my bow and
spear. My average speed over the five miles
was 212 miles per hour, surprising the standing
record by ~ miles per hour. For the five klo-
meters my speed was 1853 miles per hour,
which was better by Is miles an hour than the
previous record. No sooner had finished than
the sun shone out bright and dazzling.

It stands to reason that a racing motorist
must experience many thrilling moments in
his career. But it is all part of the game-as
much as carrying bod of bricks Is to q brick
layer or delivering a speech to q member Of
Parliament. And it is only to be expected in
the circumstances when you have escaped
instant death by the luckiest and most i'm
possible of accidents reasonable or unreason-
able number OF times, that you should become
q bit Of a fatalist. "If this Is the end it's the
end" you say to yourself, land If not well, it
isn't" and thereby comfort your soul with
incontrovertible logic.

moments and have afterward sat down to a
dinner which for few agonizing seconds they
never hoped to enjoy.
But few can have had such an experience as
encountered at Brooklands in 1912 and, having
encountered it, lived to tell the story. I was
driving 5s6-horsepower Darracq and as I
came round the bend the offSide front tire
burst. Down we went on the rim, the car
Swerved to the right. Still on full throttle,
endeavored to get the car down the finishing
stretch and win the race. Unfortunately for
me, at the last moment the car made another
swerve and hit the cement ledge on the side Of
the finishing strafghtaway. The car leaped in
the air, the offside front wheel Immediately
collapsing the rear offside wheel following suit.
Bits of the wheels flew OF in all directions.
One Of the rims cut through the iron ratings,
missing an attendant only by inches.
don't know how I kept that car straight

racing drivers, but so far British
amateurs have succeeded in holding their own.
High-speed racing is magnificent sport, and If
for no other reason it seems to me well worth
while the risks and troubles and expenses in
vOlved. That think, Is the view of most
English race drivers But to attain speed of
anything like $50 miles an hour requires much
careful preliminary training and preparation.
You have to be tremendously keen and fit It
IL essentially mans job.
Women have their laurelS In so many
branches of sport business and the professions
that one wonders in what sphere their next
great achievement will be made. Miss Carstairs
has put up some amazing performances In her
Speedboat, although women have not made any
attempts so far on the worlds land speed
record, none of them having taken this branch
Of sport very seriously, with the exception pos
sibly of Mrs. Scott.
ONLY those who have taken part in high
speed motor trials know the physical strain
that Is involved in controlling car going at
anything over $50 miles an hour. One has to
be in the strictest of training, comparable with
that Of the oxford and Cambridge boat crews,
before one can hope to make worth while at
tempt on any record. However, women have
achieved so many successes where it was
thought they would be constitutionally incapable
OF competing with men that IL Is difficult to
express any view at all as to what they may
do In the future as regards land speed records.
Women make good drivers AS drive back
and forth between London and my home each
day notice the number of women who are at
the wheels of cars. On the whole there seems
little to choose between their standard of
driving and that of men.
Among both sexes you find black sheep driV-
ers to whom the words courtesy of the road"
have no meaning 1t is only fair to say that
these are to be found mostly among those new
to car driving. These are the embryo motor
lists. The vast majority of those who own cars
are reasonably careful in their handling of
them. Many persons content simply to be
: able to drive reasonably well, but it seems to
me there Is growing up generation which, not
content merely to sit at the wheel, seek to learn
as much as possible about the why's and the
wherefores of their machines These are the
enthusiastic amateurs, to whom is largely due
the credit for raising the standard of driving
in England and from whom will be recruited
our record-breakers of tomorrow. In my
opinion there is no doubt that within the next
few years shall attain a speed of more than
300 miles per hour. Some people think that
travelling at that speed is too great a strain
the human organism for it to become practi-
cally possible. but do not believe that Is true
