NEW RECORD AT BROOKLANDS

COBB'S GREAT FIGHT WITH WIND

Thrilling Leaps and Swerves

(Special Air-Mail Service)

London, April 6.

Sir Henry Birkin's famous lap record, so often attacked since he created it at the Easter mee- ting here two years ago, W3S broken to-day by John Cobb, in, bis huge 400 b.p. Napier-Railton.

Cobb was only three-fifths of 'a second faster than Sir Henry Birkin, but that was enough to raise the record to. 139.71 miles an hour, against Birkin's 137.96 m.p.h.

To the crowd it looked impres- sive but simple. They saw the huge car leap right of the con- crete as it passed the famous bump and swerve ominously after landing before Cobb was swee- ping on again. The car so silent and seemed so smooth-running. however, that no one realised what a fight its driver was" hav- ing the whole" way fight, not to get the speed, but to keep the In leash.

round-a requisite monster

A strong wind was blowing across the track, and again, and again Cobb had to ease his foot his off the accelerator because back wheels were being swept upwards, threatening to hurl him over the top of the banking.

Coming"down the railway straight towards

the Anishing line, Cobb said afterwards, he saw by his instruments"that he was doing more than 180 miles an hour. To have attempted to

keep the car at that speed all the time would have meant cer- tain disaster.

It was known that Cobb had broken the record before he re- turned to the paddock, and the crowd, seldom demonstrative at Brooklands, gave him a reception. The car-which. by the way. runs on the standard

The petition asking the Nation- al Economic Council to appropriate £2,000,000 for the improvement of sericulture in Kwangtung is re- ported to have been turned down owing to the insufficient funds at the disposal of the Council and to the petitions of Klangsu and Che- klans for similar appropriations.

provement plan.

Before 1929, over $100,000,000 worth of silt was exported a year from Kwangtung to different part of the world, but in recent years the volume of trade has shrunk to a year. a little over £10,000,000 Although world-wide depression is a cause for the decreasing de- mand, the poor quality of Chinese that of silk as compared with Japan is the main factor for the decline of this national Industry.

Superintendent Prothero earned distinction by his investigation, when he was Chief Inspector of the CID., of the Messiter murder at Southampton. The detecZON. of this crime was regarded as one of the finest pieces of work ever known in police circles.

He had been in the police force for 35 years, and it was he who brought Podmore to justice after working day and night.

Although he made a mark in several noted murder trails he had a penchant for unravelling the complications of financial frauds, and confidence tricks, and was re- garded as a specialist in this class of case.

Becent Inquiry

As superintendent of C Division Superintendent Prothero was con- cerned in the recent inquiry which followed allegations concerning a charge which came before the Marlborough Street Magistrate on Tuesday.

Instructions are stated to have been given for a charge sheet to be sent to Scotland Yard, and when the oicers concerned in the case reported the matter to Superm. tendent Prothero he immediately consuited. Lord Trenchard on the matter, with the result that a sum- mons was later issued.

Questions in connection with this matter are being asked in the House of Commons.
