Captain Wardall believes that a brief sil»'Uce. devoted to prayer, will tend to make a more fitting observ- ance of the day than more martial celebrations and displays of arms and troops. The Internaliniial Order ot Service, he said, is also trying, tluough its chapters In 4:i countries, to estab- lish an internatioual I'eace Week, to start on Nov. ."> and end on Armistice Day.

The brakes are specially designed to reduce the risk of heat, since they will -have to en- able the car to pull up from 24il miles in four miles. One of the most remarkable fea- tures is the equipment of the car with telescopic sights. When travel- ing at 200 miles an hour or more it is Impossible to steer by ordinary ob- jects, and flags marking the cour.se appear merely as a-blurred line. With the aid of telescopic sights similar to those used with a rifle, the car will be steered much as a bullet is aimed. Two huge targetsâ€" lyill be erected at Uaytonia on a scaffolding above the electric-timing wires, one at the start and the other at the finish of the measured mile over which the attempt will be made. Each target will have a huge biiU's- eye.
