The trials, set for the middle of February, will mark his fourth as- sault upon the record hera. Relled out smooth as a billiard table and packed down hard as concrete by the pounding waves, the course presents facilities high speed racing that have found nowhere else in the world. Located in the middle ‘of the sandy stretch is the officially measured mile, over which Camp- bell hopes to dash in less than 1415 seconds, the time for the existing record. Taking a five mile rolling start the driver shifts into high gear as quickly as possible and presses the long accelerator to the floor- board, in order that his giant 2500 horsepower ‘“Bluebird” may pick up its maximum speed before enterifig th&"“orfielar “mile. To the excited spectators in the grandstand ‘who train binoculars on the distant horizon, the hurt- ling car at first appears as a tiny speck. Faster,” faster, it rushes with increasing acceleration, bare- 1y skimming the crystal sands. i A Roar—And He’s Gonce Suddenly, with a mighty roar, the machine, like a speeding ar- rew, streaked past the grandstand in a bluish blur. Then, almost before the spectators can turn their heads to follow its course, the car has disappeared in the distance; to come to a gradual stop five miles away.

He took as his topic, “Lincoln hated slavery, but ke lov- ed the Union more and was pre- parsd to tolerate the former to save the latter.” He said the story is so well known of Lincoln's early life, the many handicaps he over- came, his' meagre education that he did not propose fto dwell on thesz phases of a life always full ] of ambition.
