(Special to THE PRESS)
SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 29 -Two
famous speed kings, both of them men
who know their motors as few men
do, because their very lives and fort-
unes depend on that knowledge, have
;ust paid high tribute to Studebaker’s
engineering genius.
One of them is Norman Bqtten, the
slim young daredevil of the speed-
ways’ who last year thrilled Indiaji-
atpolis race fans by courageously pil-
oting his blazing car into the pits
in order to prevent what might have
been a fatal crash for the other driv-
trs on the- track.
The other is his brother, Lieutenant
Eugene Batten, one of the star pilots
of the Army Aair Service.
- When the flier learned that his bro-
ther had been engaged to drive one of
the four Studebaker President Eights
that were to ‘cover 30,000 miles on
the Atlantic City Speedway, h-» sec-
ured leave from the Afr Corps and
joined the driving crew at the track.
Troughout the long run he took his
shift regularly behind thw wheel of
one of the roadsters which finished

VIENNA, Sept. 29.—"Mozart Ex-
hibition” on a large scale has been
opened at. Salzburg, where the fam-
ous music festivals are taking place.
More- than 1,000 remarkable objects
are shown there, of which the most
valuable are the original score of “The
I Magic Flute” and a short preparatory
draught of the same opera, borrowed
from the Prussian State Library.
Mozart wrote the famous score in
two kinds of ink. He copied the strings
and bases in better ink, which is still
well legible, while the brass and wood
winds were written in a ink, which is
faded. The score was copied in little,
graceful swift notes. _
Several other scores, letters, doc-
uments, criticisms, prints and book are
on exhibition, as well as programs
mes of his first performances, where
the name of Emam|el Scnikanader
(Mozart’s librettist) was printed in
large capital, but “cotrtposed by . Moz-
art” in tiny letters at the bottom of
the program.

Day staged under the sanction of the
A. A. A. was the unusual perform-
ance of a stock Whippet roadster.
In this gruelling test of power, speed
and inbuilt stamina the Whippet
placed second in the stock car race
over the 12 and 1-3 mile route from
Crystal Creek to the summit of tha
peak. The winning car was an 8-cyf-
inder car selling in the 12400 price
class.
Never befoie has a W'hippet been
.At ALL Ai'crage ADefisl 4)1 more th»a..68-entered in this world* greatest hlU
climb classic which is declared by
expert automotive engineers to be the
most severe test that could be impos-
ed on a stock car since it demands
utmost power, speed, and stamina, as
well as a cooling system of the high-
est degree of efficiency.
In the Labor Day classic the Whip-
pet swept over the starting line at
Crystal Creek pUteau, 9,000 feet
above sea level and immediately
began the terriffto task of mounting
to the top of the peak over the dirt
highway. Climbing mile after mile the
Whippet rounded all of the 203 hair-
pin Curves and dangerous switch-
backs and was loudly acclaimed when
it raced across the finish line, 14,109
feet above sea level.
Conditions for the race were the
worst since the inaugural of the Pikes
Peak slimb in 1916. The roadway for
the last Jour miles was a sheet of
ice and snow with a near-blizzard
raging at the top of the peak. Condi-
tions at the starting line however
were distinctly opposite, summer wea-
ther prevailing until the higher alti-
tudes were reached.
At the conclusion of the gruelling
test over the mountain highway an
inspection of the Whippet’s engine
revealed that it was functioning per-
fectly despite the severe demands of
the climb. The engine showed no
signs of overheating which is said to
be one of the finest tributes that
could be paid to the car’s cooling sys-
tem.
The Whippet that made the daring
climb against cars that sell in the
highest priced fields was piloted by
