President Drade’*
Hard Test
By AD SCHUSTER
(Copyright.)
p ECIL DRADE, under forty and
V-i president of a small college,
sensed his responsibilities and impor¬
tance to the full. The fact that some
three hundred young men and women
looked up to him as a scliolor and au¬
thority filled him with a pleasure
which he reflected In his appearance,
and yet he had his worries.
The college needed money and the
trustees were looking to the young
tjmi handsome president to Interest
wealthy parents In an endowment
campaign. In a little book in the
president’s office were the names of
those students whose fathers might be
considered as prospects, but I’resident
Drade had no need to refer to it.
Mastering information of this kind
was to him second nature until It was
said he hud little distinctions In greet¬
ing which ranged from the formal to
the unctuous with Rill Plum at one ex¬
treme and Elizabeth Lane at the oth¬
er. Elizabeth’s father was the richest
man In the state and Bill—well Bill
was a good athlete.
Drade was undismayed at the finan¬
cial problem, or would have been were
It not for this same Bill Plum, Sup¬
pose, he asked himself, Elizabeth
should become engaged to Plum?
What would the father say? The
only possible answer would be for the
father to order the girl to leave col¬
lege and then would Uisapi>ear the
chance for any of the Lane money
finding Its way Into the coffers of
Brook college. Added to this wap the
fact that Drade, himself, was in love
with Elizabeth and Elizabeth's pros¬
pects.
While the president was wishing
that Bill would violate one of the
many rules of the school and so ex¬
pose himself to expulsion, Bill was
making love to Elizabeth and the girl,
flattered at the attention of star ath¬
lete and college president, was deter¬
mined to enjoy the double triumph as
long as possible. This was the situa¬
tion until she had to forget it to pre¬
pare for the annual essay award.
At Brook the essay award Is classi¬
cal. Those who stood high in the lists
were regarded as made and the win¬
ner was looked upon as one who held
secure a mortgage on enduring fume.
As the manuscripts were sent In with¬
out signatures, it was President
Drade’s pleasure to say that there
were no opportunities for favoritism
or previous records In scholarship to
Influence the choice.
Elizabeth, nearing the end of her
college' years, held the dream of a
triumphant graduation as the posses¬
sor of the essay prize and she knew
while she labored on her manuscript
that the man who was to Judge it
would be sorely tempted. She won¬
dered If Cecil Drade. despite Ills evi¬
dent culture und handsome appear¬
ance, would allow thoughts of her and
her father's money to Influence the
decision, and as she wondered she
knew she must Hud the answer. Cecil
was the sort of man of whom her
father would approve. She shuddered
to think how her parents would re¬
gard Bill. Yet it was to the younger
man she turned.
“Suppose," she suggested, "you copy
my essay and I copy yours. In that
way there will be no chance for Cecil,
the judge, to play a favorite.
Bill grinned with understanding.
“Suits me,” he answered, “but If he
spots my writing, you’ll stand no
show."
So the test was put up to Cecil
Drade who read a half hundred manu¬
scripts and narrowed the possibilities
to two. lie smiled as he thought of
his rule against typewritten manu¬
scripts and at the ease with which,
uuder his plan, he could indentify the
writers, but he sat In his llbrury until
early morning with the two papers be¬
fore him. The one done In the hand¬
writing which could be none other
than Elizabeth Lane's, he knew, was
Impossible. And wlmt was worse, the
other revealed Bill Plum as a writer
of unusual promise. It would be sim¬
ple to deny BUI the prize, for no one
read the discarded manuscripts. The
scholar In President Drade hesitated
before he could award the honor to
the paper which, save for the telltale
script, would not have been consid¬
ered. He thought of Elizabeth, of
her pleasure, and of the advancement
of his suit. He knew her father
would be pleased, that this little hon¬
or might bring the endowment. The
lover and business man conquered and
President Drade made his decision.
When he read the result to the
classes announcing the title and num¬
ber of the essay, he held out the med¬
al, and looked at tlie seated students
waiting for Elizabeth to respond. BUI
Plum rose and advanced and Presi¬
dent Drade, groaning within himself
gave the prize to the writer of the
worst essay in the lot And what
was worse, he caught the quick glance
of understanding exchanged bv Bill
aud Elizabeth and knew his defeat
was complete.

FRANK LOCKHART, AMERICAN AUTO ACE, HIM* J
FINDS ALL SPEEDWAYS ALIKE,TO
Youthful Driver Feels at Home on Dirt, Concrete and
Brick Tracks as He Establishes New Marks—
j; Travels 171.02 Miles an Hour. j
« *rUD or dust, concrete or boards,
JLTX jV'l difference rain or shine—these make Frank no
to young
Lockhart, of Los Angeles, who today
at 24 is the fastest automobile driver
In the United States, if not in the
world.
Few motorists, even of the harden
ed professional racers, have had the
varied experience of Lockhart, who
has driven on almost every kind of
track.
His best record—and he fs after
more—was set on a dry lake bed at
Muroc, near Los Angeles, California,
last April when he whirled over the
alkali sands at 171.02 miles an hour—
a figure comparable to that of Major
H. O. D. Segrave, the Briton, who
drove his “Mystery Sunbeam” at
203.79 miles an hour at Daytona
Beach, Florida. Major Segrave holds
the British record, of course, and
Lockhart the American.
Previous to Lockhart’s feat, the
best American record was established
by the Intrepid Tommy Milton, who
a few years before he retired whizzed
along at 156.4 miles an hour at Day
tona Beach.
What makes Lockhart's figures more
remarkable than even Major Segrave’s
Is the fact that the Vmerican used a
car with a displacement of only 91.5
cubic Inches, as compared with the
displacement in the Englishman’s ma¬
chine of 1200 cubic inches.
Rain likewise holds no terrors for
Lockhart for racing fans recall that
he won the Decoration Day race on
the Indianapolis Speedway last year
In a driving rainstorm. So sudden was.

Lockhart, driving without relief
shot his tiny car around the brick
track 160 times at an averago speed
of 94.63 miles an hour and finished
five miles ahead of his nearest rival.
Harry Hartz, also of Los Angeles.
Then he followed up that victory by
running first on last September 18th.
at the Altoona Speedway, with a speed
of 1T7 mffes aa-bour. He Interspersed
those two notable winnings by arpfar¬
ing the Charlotte, N. C., race on Au¬
gust 23, with an average speed of
120.54 miles per hour, faster than
either of the other two races.
For some time Lockhart was In
“disgrace’’ with the American Auto¬
mobile Association for taking part In
dirt track competition, most of which
he won handily. He had considerable
experience on dirt tracks and in 1924
he ran first In the Thanksgiving Day
race at Ascot Park, Los Angeles.
His most notable recent victory this
year was In May when he drove his
machine 147.729 miles an hour at the
Atlantic City Motor Speedway. It es¬
tablished a new record for board
tracks.
*In the following month, just to show
his versatility, Lockhart won a*dlrt
track at the Michigan State Fair
Grounds, on June 6. The track had.
been treated with calcium chloride
and It was dustless, firm and, as
Lockhart explained later, Ideal la
every respect for automobile racing.
Tests in the airplanes have shown
that in \he morning more dust Is
found near the ground than In the
afternoon and, further, that more dust
is found near the ground than at a
height of from 2000 to 7000 feet
Showers, of course, will reduce the
number of dust particles and a country
breeze has the same effect
Other scientists have made various
studies as to the effect of certain
chemicals on laying dust Foremost
of those has been calcium chloride,
a white and flaky chemical which at¬
tracts moisture to itself, dissolves
when exposed to the air and combine
with the road surface to which it Is
applied.
