R. E. Leonard and Leon Rothier oc- cupied the limelight out of the assem- blage of ten. Leonard, the fastest driver of the week, was stopped on Sheridan road just after he had pushed his ma- chine to 38 miles an hour. He paid for his distinction when the judge said, "$20 and costs." Rothier, who shared with Leonard the spotlight of the week, wasn't going so fast. He won distinction in another way --by {frequency of arrests.

Leon went out for another ride. This time he got as far as Wilmette. His car was still good and Sheridan road still inviting. Per- haps he didn't notice how fast he was going.
