For twenty-seven consecutive days the truck was never off the low gear, 2.4 miles per hour, the engine running 100 r.p.m. Over the White Mountains of Arizona deep snow and mud were encountered in tem- peratures of down to zero, while through the desert sixteen days were consumed, most of which was on the low gear in tem- eratures of 140 during the day and never jess than 100 at midnight. ‘This, you will agree, was a most trying test for the cooling system and thelubrica- ting olls, but never once during this most trying trip was the engine overheated or the lubricating anything but perfect. Inspection of the cylinders and valves in Chicago and again in New York on com- pletion of the trip totaling over 5,200 miles, showed them to be in perfect Condition, and entirely free from carbon. ‘The gear case In which we used Polarine Transmission Lubricant was opened only once during the trip for inspection and found to be in perfect condition.

The crimson and ermine was produced and donned, and the pseudo-peer strolled into the House, where a few peers were waiting, administered a series of affable nods right and left, and finally took his place on the woolsack. For full thirty seconds he sat there, while those present tried to collect their faculties. Then he slowly arose and, remarking to the clerk, “How stupid of me! I now remember I have an appointment elsewhere,” re- tired from the chamber, In the robing room he remarked, “Thank Lord Nor- manby, and tell his lordship I have just recalled a pressing appointment with the King.” my lord.
