William O'Donnell, of Chicago, was to be the donor. With Milwaukee many miles ahead and the roads dry and dusty, * Mr. O'Donnell decided that he could never stand the strain without liquid re- freshments, so purchased a pint of ex- tra high voltage. Faster and faster the recently purchased "sixth-hand" car tore along the boulevards: Fif- teen-twenty-thirty- thirty-two, and fin- ally forty miles an hour the road mon- ster plunged, swerving to right and left, up and down. Schaefer first noticed the mad dash and gave^the driver~a-neat little^yellow ticket. Four blocks more and Ley heard a great noise. This time the driver was exasperated and had to be led to the Wilmette police court. Two char€es-of-§peedtag-«nd driving- while intoxicated were laid before Magistrate Mickey. "One hundred dollars and costs." "Rediculous,!' replied the driver. "I'll give you that car if you can make it go 40 miles an hour.

Mr. O'Donnell was ushered to the lock-up where he might cool off and make up his mind to pay the fine. Six other speeders were fined by Magistrate Mickey last week: M. L.
