Mr. and Mrs. T. Frederick Lee, of New York City, accompanied by a Russian friend who is an accomplished linguist, are now on the European Continent, on the first part of an automobile trip which is to cover 80,000 miles, and which will be brought nearly to an end at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in 1915. They started August 1st from New York in a Buick, and their plan was to tour through Europe until September, and then to return to London and set out for India and the Far East. Mr. Lee has no chauffeur, and expects to take care of his own car throughout.



The Two Hundred Club, unique in the ranks of motoring bodies, has been formed by the Contest Committee of the Chicago Automobile Club. Any motorist who drives 200 miles in ten hours without a motor stop and conforms to the rules of the test, will be eligible to membership. Competition will be open to any motorist in the United States. As soon as twenty-five have qualified, a permanent organization will be effected.



Richard G. Badger and his brother Hard G. Badger of Boston, claim a new automobile record between New York city and Boston. They advise the National car manufacturers at Indianapolis that they made this run in a National roadster in elapsed time of six hours, fifteen minutes, their actual running time being only five hours and forty-five minutes. They claim to have made the run without one bit of tire trouble, and without any inconveniences at all.

Last January J. W. Bradbury borrowed E. L. Campbell's automobile, and before he got off the main street was stopped by a tire blowout. He repaired the damage, but on reaching home discovered that he had lost a valuable ring. He employed boys to shovel the snow off the street, but the ring was not found, even when the snow melted, although a persistent search was made. A few days ago the tire blew out again, this time while Campbell was in the machine. In repairing it, Campbell felt something between the inner and outer casings, and found Bradbury's ring.

RUB-R-TITE is a scientific laboratory product. Neither sun, storm or folding will cause it to peel, crack, blister or rot. If occasionally used (reduced) it prolongs the life and wearing qualities of any top indefinitely.

It is applied with a brush, easily and quickly. It dries quickly. It is economical—$1.50 to $5 renews a top (cost depends on size and kind of material.)
