Boston to Syracuse and Back, Driven by Woman in 24 Hours’Time A new mart for women drivers was set when Mrs. Ralph G. Reed recently drove 693 miles in 24 hours and 20 minutes elapsed time. The route lay between Boston and Syracuse and return and required twice panning through the congested, traffic districts of those cities. Mrs. Reed believes that, a heavy storm through which she had todrive fora.huqdredmiles prevented her making even better time.

Two other Indianapolis motorists, likewise driving Franklins, also exceeded the former distance record. That, too, had been established by a Franklin Car.
