RECORD QUEST.

Have you ever passed a dairy farm at the moment when the cows are coming in to be milked? Have you seen them swinging in a slow procession down the lane? And have you ever at such a time asked for a glass of milk, just for the pleasure of drinking it, so now and warm and virtuous?

“Milkmaid"" is taken when it is like that. It is carried swiftly in cans as clean as new pins to a spotless and speckless condensery where cleanliness is almost a mania.

And then it is scaled to protect it from dust and dirt and germs and pump and preservatives. Just the richest milk. taken when it is warm and good and made safe for you and your children, but with the cream carefully left in it and only water taken from it.

MOTOR "COCKLESHELL” TO TWO HUNDRED REVELLERS

BEAT MAURETANIA,

A GIRL'S CHALLENGE.

A "hush-hush" motor-boat, which has been built with the greatest secrecy at Cowes, is to make shortly an attempt to beat the Mauretanin's record for the Atlantic crossing.

L

It will carry a crew of six and will be in charge of Miss Marion Barbara Carstairs, well known as a motor-boat racing enthusiast, who is financing the, attempt.

The boat has engines of 2,000 horse power and it is hoped to do the trip of 2,750 miles in less than three days.

With other new bonts which she le constructing Miss Garstairs hopes to regain for Britain the International Cup won by America

in 1020.

These boats are expected to reach a speed of 90 miles an hour. A locked shed at the yard of Moasra, S. E. Saunders, Ltd., con- tains the small "hush-hush" craft which is likely to astonish the world.

Some time in July all being well, this boat is setting out from the west coast of Ireland for New York, via St. John's Newfound land, and it is hoped to make the complete trip of 2,750 miles in less than three days, thus easily establishing a new record for the passage.

ROBBED.

BANDITS' BIG “BAG"

New York, May 31. More than 200 pato-faced men and women in evening dress were lined up against the walls, before dawn, to be confronted by a fring party.

That is not the scene of a war- time execution of, spics, but an curly-hour spectacle of to-day in the ballroom of the fashionable Broadmoor Country Club, near Indianapolis, U.S.A.

The firing party" consisted of ten robbers armed with sawed-off shot guns and pistols.

So long as the ex-revellers stood still to be rifled of their money and jewellery-and they did not all Bland very still-tho order to "are" was not given.

Among the victims of the hold- up were some of the most pro- minent and richest residents of Indianapolis and their guests.

Several of the robbed ones were visitors, from other cities, who, after attending the annual auto- mobile Derby, had assembled at the dinner and dance given by the Country Club.

It is calculated that the value of the intrudera" "bag" exceeded £40,- 000; and yet some of the women had managed, in the exeltement, to secrete jewels to almost an equal amount.

"Oh, that is quite another story from the International Cup," she Isaid with a laugh.

"But, of course, it is quite pps- sible to cross the Atlantic by mo- tor-bont; and as yet no one has tried for a record."

Miss Carstairs, hopes to achieve this by the end of July, for in the locked shed, under careful guard, is the craft in which she and five companions will endea vour, to

They were the hold-up gangmen in disguise, but no one guessed it till, at a signal from their lender, they suddenly displayed their wea- pons and fired volleys into the floor and cefling.

Of course, the muale and dancing stopped abruptly.

In the silence the robber chief began to deliver his sentence.

All present were informed that any attempt at. resistance or es- cape would be punished by instant death.

All were ordered to stand with backs to the walls and to raise their hands.

This they did.
