not return to London Immediately
Monday, the Crown Prince OF Speed,
John Cobb. also OF London. will bring
his sleek, button-shaped racer. Rail

Eyston's new mark.
Ready for Duel.
Although he declined to announce
it flatly. the lank, scholarly speed king
will remain to race his seven-ton
juggernaut again should Mr.. Coob
shatter the 345-mile mark. Bert Denly,
Capt. Eyston's top-ranking assistant,
declared fatty: We're not afraid of

Salt dust pluming a half mile be-
hind his 24-cylindered car. Capt
Eyston rocketed through the north
bound measured mile at 347.49 miles
per hour Before entering the meas
ured stretch, center mile of the l3-
mile straightaWay. Capt Evston mo-
mentarily cut his motor. Because Of
this. his time for the kilometer was
1851 miles per hour. slightly slower
than the mile speed.
That mile seemed about 100 yards
long Capt, Eyston said
After a 40-minute pit stop. during
which the eight tires on "T11underbolt'
were changed, the giant car roared
back through the mile at 3435l miles
per hour He did the south bound
kilometer at 344l5 miles per hour.
His average time for the kilometer
was 1881 miles per hour. The old
record. held by Capt. Eyston. was

Didn't Reach Maximum Power.
Capt Eyston said the car was by
no means at full throttle and that
"Thunderbolt' is capable of hitting
the speed of last Wednesdays south
bound run, nullifled bv failure of an
electric eve timeing device
Capt. Evston said that on that run
he was hitting devilish close" to
$50 miles per hour. which he con-
siders the maximum speed. at least
until better tires are developed.
I'm becoming used to the high
speed now and don't have the sensa-
ton that the earth is curving down

HAPPINESS

From Poems selected by Hazel Felleman)
Happiness Is like crystal.
Fair and exquisite and clear
Broken in a million pieces,
shattered scattered far and near.
Now and then along LIES pathway,
IoI some shining fragments fau;
nut there are so many pieces
No one ever finds them all.
You may find q bit Of beauty,
Or an honest share OF wealth,
while another Just beside you
Gathers honor, love or health.
Vain to choose or grasp lnduly,
Broken Is the perfect ball;
And there are so many pieces
No one ever finds them all.
Yet the wise as on they Journey
Treasure every fragment clear,
Fit them as they may together,
Imaging the shattered sphere,
Learning ever to be thankful,
Though their share Of 1t is small;
For 1t has so many pieces
No one ever finds them all.
