He was pinned in the driver's seat of the machine by the steel frame of the side, which was stove in by | the violent impact of the waves, but a fortunate circumstance landed the car right side up after it had turned a complete somersault from the beach speedway, and also kept the machine from going beyond his depth, His face are arms were lacerated, and he was thought to have suffered a broken arm and possible internal injuries, but a superficial examination revealed no serious hurts, The driver was pulled from the sea by rescuers and rushed to a hos- pital, Visibility is Poor Making a run north with the visi- bility extremely poor, Lockhart's car was seen to swerve toward the sand N 4 entering the mile stretch, His car left the ground twice, and then swerved into the ocean, hitting the waves. The car bounced entirely off the waves, and landed upright, Scores of spectators waded out into the ocean up to their necks, and suc cessfully brought out the car, They found Lockhart helpless, but consc- ious ,with water up to his neck, I was necessary for mechanics to cut away the side of the car to release him, "I"m all right," was his only ex- pression after he had been dragged from the water, Wife Faints The racer's wife was among the crowd of several thousand persons who witnessed the accident, and was one of the first to reach the water's edge, She fainted when she saw that he had been hurt, and did not se€ him lapse into semi-consciousness as he was rushed away in an am- hulance. The visibility was extremely poor, because of low-hanging clouds, but ckhart had decided late in the day to essay the race against time, be- cause of the short length of time re- maining for the trials, which ,to re- ceive American Automobile Associa- tion sanction, must be made hefore the present speed carnival ends: to- morrow afternoon, After two trips over the measured mile, up and down the beach, Lock- hart was making the first run north- ward, He had a start of several miles before entering the official stretch, and was believed to have had his racer virtually wide open. Timers clocked him a tthe moment of the spill at 225 miles per hour. Cause is Not Known Just what caused his machine to veer into the ocean was not imme- ditately determined, but it was con- sidered probable thaet a rough spot in the beach, or a slight obstruction, such as other drivers had encountered in previous tests, was responsible, To those who witnessed it, Lock- hart's escape alive _ was considered miraculous, because of the double threat of instant death in the crash of the car, and drowning. At the hospital, anaesthetics were administered to Lockhart in prepara- tion for a thorough X-ray examina- tion to determine "/hether an opera- | ttion was neccessary. He- was semi- | conscious and appeared to be suffer- ing little pain, physicians said. Between 5000 and 6,000 persons were in the stands when the accident occurred, Lockhart was the only American left in the running for a chance at the new record of 2009 miles per hour set here Sunday by Captain Malcolm Campbell of England. Since neither he nor his machine will be, in condition to race again before the A A.A's time limit expires tomorrow, the new mark will remain in Eng- Jand, where the previous record of 203.7 miles an hour also was held-- by Major H. O. D. Segrave. 5) Claimed ; Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 22---F. ©. Moscovicz, President of the Stuiz Motor Car Company of America, in a telephone call to the Stutz offices ere, said that Frank Lockbart, who late tease turned over in his Stutz racer at Daytona Beach, was not cri- tically injured. Moscovicz said that Lockhart was going about 240 miles an hour when lis car left the course and ran into the ocean. Latest Report Daytona Beach, Feb. 22--A com- plete examination, the doctors said, showed no broken bones, no internal injuries, and that, aside from a few lacerations on his face, Lockhart was suffering principally from shock.

OnYour Eyesf STUER CERRARR SEB Ab A 00 PICKERING MAN 1S DEFENDANT IN AN ALINONY SUIT Lived With Woman in New York Only Two Months Toronto, Feb. 21.--Application for interim alimony was made to the Master at Osgoode Hall on be- halt of Jennie Banks, of Staten Is- land, New York, who is suing her husband, William Hemiy Banks, farmer, Pickering, Ont., for Ali- mony. Plaintiff says that she was mar- ried to defendant in New York Sept. 30, 1926, Before marriage she resided in New York, where she owned her own home, which, she avers, defendant induced her to dispose of, together with furni- ture and fixtures, on which she realized only $1,700. Relying op her husband, she claims, and with his assistance, she packed her remaining personal belongings in some seven or nine trunks and forwarded themr as di- rected by defendant to his howe at Pickering, Immediately after her marriage, her son, on whom she was previ- ously dependent for support, believ- ing that thereafter plaintiff would not need further financial assist- ance from him, married and now plaintiff is deprived of further sup- port from him. Makes Serious Charge Plaintiff alleges that on Nov, 19, 1926, defendant inflicted serious bodily injuries on plaintiff. She has since suffered from nervous disorders and mental distress, Im- mediately thereafter, defendant left her and returned to his home in Pickering, and since then they have lived apart. Defendant, she says, has refused to return her clothes and other personal proper- ty. She claims that he hasWre- fused to support her except hy a payment of $471, unless she lives with him at his home, which she fears to do, Defendant owns a farm of 150 acres, free of encum- hrance, and has other considerable means. Two Weeks Together In his defence, the husband says his wife's separate estate was val- ued at $9,000 real estate, and a motor car, diamond ring and other valuable jewelry in her personal es- tate. He denies having induced her to dispose of her separate estate. He says he never advised or sug- gested that she should dispose of her real estate. He admits the re- ceipt of her personal belongings which were shipped to Pickering and says that he was always will- ing to return these and had return- ed them, Defendant denies most emphat- ically the allegations as to conduct wife on November, 1926, they par- ted as good friends and with the undertaking by the plaintiff to leave New York and take up her abode with him at Pickering with- in two weeks. As evidence of the falseness of the allegations defend- ant points to the fact that plain- tiff, in pursuance of her undertak- ing to come to his home in Canada, sent numerous boxes, trunks and barrels containing her personal be- longings and also wrote letters ex- pressing her intention of comius to Canada. and says that when he last saw his | Your D octor recommends Kotex, the scientific sanitary napkin.

Af- ter marriage they lived together for about two weeks, when at the suggestion of plaintiff, defendant departed for his homre, leaving his wife in New York on the unaer- standing that she would complete certain personal business matters and would write him when to come to New York to bring her back.
