EYST0N, ENGLISH. RACER, HOPES TO. DRIVE 36O M. p. H.
Failure of Electric Timing Device Spoiled New
 Record Yesterday

Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, Aug. Aug. 25.-(UP)-A tall lean 41-year old Englishman, who already has traveled faster on land than any other man, worked today with a crew of faithful mechanics on q giant automobile which may rocket him over these Salt Flats at the unbelievable speed of six miles a minute.
 He was Captain George E. T. Eyston, World War veteran whose hobby is raising chickens and who is as shy as he is fearless.
 Yesterday he drove his 3,600- horsepower Thunderbolt, which cost thousands of dollars to build, through a measured mile on the 13- mile course at 347.155 m.p.h. or more than 3-4 miles a minute.
 (The fastest human, Glenn Gun ningham, took 4 minutes. A sec onds to negotiate his record mile. Equipoise, race hrse, took one minute, 34 2-5 seconds. Sir Mall colm Campbell, the first man ever to drive an auto over 300 miles an hour, piloted a motorboat 1895 miles an hour or about 1-2 miles a minute. The only other ma chimes surpassing Eyston's car have been airplanes, the fastest of which, seaplane. once went 440.6 miles an hour or about 71-3 miles a min- ute.-Ed)
 Were it possible to have the same traction surface, Eyston, at the speed he went yesterday, could cir cle the earth at the Equator, rough ly 25,000 miles in 72 hours or three days.
 Hard Luck
 Failure of the timing device on his second run yesterday robbed Eyston of an official record. He set the old mark of 311.42 mp.h. in the same car here last Novem- Der 19. Yesterday he drove the sev- en-ton giant with it's twin 12-cylin- der and eight wheels through the first measured mile at 347155 m. p. h.
 There was a brief pause while changed the tires-driv- en at such terrific speed they were virtually torn to shreds - and checked over the car. Then Eyston drove back at speed near 360- mph according to som unofficial timers.
 But the electric eye on the tim ing device failed to click when the silver -colored car shot by, only 2 blurred shadow. Engineers checked the timer today. They believed that at rate of 800 feet a second the eye failed to pick up the car because of it's light color and the blinding reflection of the sun off the white salt beds. Two runs are necessary to make record official. The rec ord is the average time for the two spins.
 When, and if Eyston shatters the official record another English man, John Cobb, will try to break it. Cobb is a heavy-set, jovial Lon don fur broker who is here with Railton Speedster, a turtle-like automobile which he drove 300 miles an hour in test runs and which he believes is faster than Eyston's Thunderbolt.

dams, an absorbing conversation had
sprung up. To be sure the monocled
Englishman was doing most of the
talking, but he had an attentive audi
ence which occasionally punctuated
his monologue with appreciative
grunts. 1t was evident that, in accord
ance with Arizona's prediction, they
had found much in common.
But no paradise is complete with
out its note of contrast, and in this
case, old Mr.. Spratt furnished that
note. A distinctly sour note it was too,
and voiced when he was able to break
away from his duties as host and join
the party at the family table. He fixed
his wife with an icy glance.

with the Red Heads owners!'
There was an instant of horrifled
silence while the bridal party looked
at each other incredulously. The irate
MIR. Spratt turned to his new daughter
reproachfully. why didn't you tell
me Big Chief and Cooey owned Red
Head?" he asked.

she said. "Why, that mines worth
three million, easy! One thing can't
stand, is to see Indians robbed!'
BY now both Tony and his mother
were pulling Arizona back into her
seat. There was no need for Arizona
to go to the Chief because the Chief
was coming to her, followed dog-like
by the imperturbable Cooey. In front
of the bridal group the Chief paused
and raised one hand majestically.
Then with the eyes of the entire

to speak in his native tongue.
MIR. Spratt leaned toward Arizona
nervously. What does he say?' he
whispered. "How much?'
"Hushr' said Arizona. "He only
says. May the Great Spirit bless this
union, with many >" Arizona grew
crimson and broke off abruptly.
But the Chief went on, this time in
English. "Glass-In-O One-Eye want buy

dignity in the direction of Uncle ALT,

He told me to hold onto them until
was sure Tony was okey. And now it

In the breathless silence which fol-
lowed Arizona got to her feet. There
were tears close to the lashes of her
marvellous eyes. her usually steady
voice trembled little.
"Why you old " she began,
and then had to try again. She pushed
the papers towards Mr.. Spratt. II
wouldn't know what to do with all
that" she said huskily so you take
it for what it's really worth, Pa Spratt.
Keep me out little ~ we'll a little
