Lord Wakefield's wonder craft, Miss Engined II, is nearing cam pletion on a guarded island on the Thames near Hampton Court.

Mr Kaya Donis to pilot her in an attempt to regain for England the only important work speed record we do not hold, showed ma the mystery ship:

At the back of the craft is a tiny cockpit, in which will be asated the pilot and his one engineer, with the two unsilenced engines immedi- utely behind them.

Miss England goes bo Lake Garda, Italy, for her first testa last month and will race there for the d'Annunzio Cup,"

A probable competitor will be Commodore Car Wood, Faye Don's old rival and holder of the prosent record:

The faster the average speed maintained the grenter is the amount of fuel burnt per mile. It la niso. true that frequent and violent changes of speed are a source of fuel waste. Naturally, nó one would wish to sacrifice the pleasure of motoring by going every- whers at a very slow and uniform pass, but, all the same, if a driver keeps these principles in mind ho cha soon make quite a difference to: his petrol bill without any ron loss of enjoyment.

Oil consumption depends upon. many things, but there are two points that are well worth mention- used at high speeds than at low ing here. First, that more oil is speeds; and, secondly, that in the end it is a waste of money to use inferior lubricants.

COMFORTABLE CARS

AN IMPROVEMENT. EN SHOCK ABSORBERS.

The riding comfort of motor cars is now fer in adyadeo of what it

even only a few years, back Balloon tyres, better springing, and improved hock absorbers have all helped in this regard.

The next point to grasp is that all the working parts require lubrien- tion at regular intervals. A writer. in The fotor points out that car designers have latterly given great attention to this subject, so that the modern chassis can be kept in perfect order at the expense of less than one hour's work every 500 miles or so.
