Shatterin, lpeed records for 100 miles, and g:r ‘the hour, the new eight cylinder Cadillac established itself as the (&atutb imnbem wumdo in Amer- i not in wor c?ll'h distance covered during the first 60 minutes was 72.41 miles, and 100 miles were traveled in 82 minutes, 46 seconds. This latter is an average of 72.49 miles per hour, the car therefore showing an increase of speed as the miles inci This not .only eclipsed all ' other American touring car records, but it broke the records e!ubhlhe;! only about two hours previously by another Cadillac of the same type. The second car beat the first by 1.35 miles for the hour, and the time varia- tion was only one minute, thirty and four-fifths seconds for 100 miles, show.-- ing wonderful uniformity in the run- ning of the two cars, The aggregate timeé of the two cars for 200 miles was 167 minutes, two and four-fifths seconds. The tests were conducted primarily for the purpose of trying out certain principles in designing and engineer- ing, the speed accomplishments being merely incidental thereto. The cars used were the seven sa. senger type, fully equipped, inclu top, windshield, extra wheel and The first car was one which hld previously been used for some experi- mental work, while -the second was brand new, taken direct the fin- * ishing room at the Detroit factory and driven over the road to Chicago. Its speedometer showed only 345 miles when the trials were started on the new speedway in the city named. A significant feature of the ger- formance was the fact that the cars ‘were not piloted by professionals, but by members of the experimental and engineering departments of the fac- tory. The driver of the car which es- tablished the better record had not driven ten miles on a track prior to this event. Commenting upon the trials, Gm- eral Manager Leland sai “The feat means little to the averlaa motorist from a speéed standpoint, for the reason that not one person in a thousand ever cares to ride so fast. It is most significant, however, because of its indication of the stamina of the cars. “‘Notwithstanding the terrific strains imposed by motor speeds of from 2,600 to 3,000 revolutions per minute, aund the maintenance of these speeds over so long a od, both cars performed perfectly, and it is immensely gratify- ing to observe the remarkable uniform- ity in the running of thé two cars. “The achievements are particularly significant because they were accom- plished by the same kind of cars that can be obtained by the everyday pur- ch r—and not by cars designed pri- for speed purposes, wherein all oM things are made subservient to tast driving.” COLONIAL THEATRE. The Goddess, Two Reels, Next to the L. tchlvler, 'I'hl'fllinu Film. Poor little Celelth as everyone knows, was oft in an auto- mobile with Tomy as the chauffeur. Tommy declares he is going to show her the heaven that she is preaching about all the time, and it is hinted that Freddle, the ferret, somehow or other managed to get into the auto also, and it is also hinted that he will show up today when Celestia will be shown through the cave where she made her home when.she was being reared for her great crusade which The Goddess has been entertaining the au- diences of the'Colonial theatre with for the last few months. This is next to the last chapter, so don't miss it. An. other two-reel spectacle is entitled A Difference of Opinion and is a Bio- graph product. This is a breezy west- ern drama. telling of a very unusual occurrence in the mining town of Four- flush. This is the birth of a son to one of the popular miners in the place, and everyone. turns out to celebrate the affair. y afterwards the child is taken violently ill and each faction of the village drives madly for the doctor of their choice. In the end it is discovered one is a dentist and the other a horse doctor, and each is hasti- ly despatched. Hazards of. Helen is represented today by a etartling epi- sode entitled* A Deed of Daring, this being one of the wildly thrilling sort of pictures peculiar to this plucky little woman. Her adventures today include the dropping from a bridge to _the top of a freight car while it is going at a frightful pace. This is but one of the many thrilling and sentational events she accomplishes, and the feature to- day is one that is calculated to make everyone sit up and take notice. The Hearst-Selig Weekly completes to- day’s big bill. Coming, Olga Petrova in The Tigress, six reelm AT THE AUDITORIUM, As a special addeq feature for today only, for the benefit of the local cnnn- cil of the Boy Scouts of America, special five-part photoplay will be run entlsled ‘The Adventures of a Boy t, and a short synopsis of the story follows: Torh, a waif, is attracted to the Boy | Da Scouts movement, and converted into a useful member of the community by the discipline of the organization.

She was named for Harriet Lathrop whose marriage with Dr. Winslow, the noted missionary of the A. B. C. F. M, took place Jan. 11, 1819. During her active years Miss Carpenter was greatly interested in missions and oft- en ‘was the ccllector for this object, and has told of the will of the older generation sayi a short time over a hundred dollars would be contributed. Educated and talented, a true gen- tlewoman, in the earlier years of her retirement from ive duties she found pleasure in reading and being familiar with French, always read her Bible in that language. She wrote articles for the Rural association, one of which, The Old Trees of Norwich Town. Her Interest in town a devotion to church, clear memory en- riched by experiences and events that have passed into history, close asso- clation with men and women whose noble characters have been a strong influence upon the life of today, all this. made her life beautiful, and her passing “like a soft twilight after a serene day.” Social Club’s Entertainment.
