CADILLAC ESTABLISHES
MANY ROAD RECORDS
Car's Achievements Have
$ *Beeu Xoitable in Both
Fast and Slow Going.
Repeatedly, In various parts of
the country, stock models of the
Cadillac Eight have set fast road
records, racing against time and
against railroad trains, over dan
gerous mountain roads and level
plains. One of the early achieve
ments was last June, when one of
these cars was driven from Los
Angeles to San Francisco in com
petition with the Southern Paci
fic's fastest train between the two
cities, known as the Lark. Most
of the Cadillac's trip of 492 miles
was made in the dark, at an aver
age speed of better than forty
miles per hour over dangerous
mountain roads. The train was
beaten by a magin of one hour and
J5 minutes.
Soon afterwairi came word of
the car's feat in beating by Erf
most two hours the time over the
125 miles from Butte to Missoula,
Mont., in the Yellowstone Trail re
lay run. This distance was made
in three hours and 52 minutes, at
an average speed of 32.3 miles an
hour, as acainst the best previous
motor car record of 5 hours, 4*)
minutes.
In quick succession followed the
face from jJenver to Cheyenne be
tween a Vnion Pacific special
train and a Cadillac Eight, the
train traveling 112 miles to the
Cadillac's 116 miles. Neverthe
less the car arrived two minutes
before the train, having averaged
about 5ft ir.ilcs an hour to make
the Tun in 2 hours. 15 minutes.
Next. Inrliana came in with the
usual res :lt—fast train lx?aten by
a Cadillac Bight. This was be
tween Indianapolis and Terre
Haute, the car making the 72 miles
in 77 minutes, against 91 minutes
for the train.
Ajiother California achievement
of recent date was the Los An
?eles-Bakersfield round trip in 5
hours. 4 minutes for the 26t
miles, breaking the recdrd of a
twelve-cylinder car over the same
route by one hour and 24 minutes.
hear the great virtuoso on the Victrola it is
as though you were hearing him in real
life. ii-i-
His profoundly beautiful playing, his
exquisite phrasing, his brilliant technique,
all entrance you—you realize that here is a
master artist.
Opposed to all these records ot
high speed, and emphasizing the
ability of the car. is the slow
speed, high gear test of a Cadillac
Eight in Seattle, Wash. There the
car averaged l.SG miles per hour
for 1,211 feet, requiring 8 minute*
8 3-5 seconds to cover the dis
tance. The car carried live pas
sengers, and the driver left his
seat and walked tackward ahead
of it for an entire hlock.
The proof is in the hearing. Come in and we
will gladly play for you any of the thirty-seven
KreisAer records, or Victor Records by any other
of the world's greatest artists.
There are Victors and Victrolas in great variety
of stymies from $10 to $250 and we will arrange
terms to suit your convenience.
No improvement.
Washington Star: "It's no use try
ing to please everybody."
"That's right," replied Mr. Meek
ton. "I bought a music machine for
each member of the family,
so
that
there couldn't be any argument. Now
everybody wants to play his favorite
selection at the same time, and we're
unhappier than before."

Harper's Magazine: The following
story is told of the mayor of a west
ern city:
A small boy. who afterwards proved
to be a nephew of one of the mayor's
stneographers. was wandering about
in the city hall when one of ihe offi
cials there happened upon him.
"Well, sonny." inquired the man,
genially, "for whom are you looking?"
"For my Aunt Kate.**
"Can't you find her?"
"I can't seem to."
"And don't you know where she is?"
"Not exactly. She's in here some
where, though, and I know that the
mayor works in her office."
Heroic in Death.
Chicago Evening Post: Old Gen.
von der Goltz may have a good many
tough deeds charged against him. but
his death from fever on a foreign
soil, faithful to the last to the job
it
training Turkey, makes one feel that
he died a man, for all that.
George Murphy, aged 87, believed ».»
be the first white settler on the site of
Sioux City, lias Just passed away. He
spent sixty years of his life in the city,
fifty of them in the insurance and real
estate business.
Most of those who haven't been
there are kind of anxious to move
to California.
