President Hoover had scarcely taken office before the stock market collapsed and the financial and industrial world was thrown Into chaos. During the remainder of his term there were four major crises confronting him, as chief executive of the United States, The first extended from the stock market collapse in the United States in October, 1929, to the beginning of the crash of Central Europe. In May, 1931. The second period Included the main force of the European de- bacle, extending from May, 1931 until Julv,1932. The third period was one of definite world-wicTrecovery which BY ALFRED P. RECK is a book, which Ts, as Sir Malcolm Campbell describes a milestone in the literature of motor racing Last year, George Eyston, gallant British racing driver, came to the great salt flats west of Salt Lake City and made automobile history, following in the footsteps of his compatriot, Sir Malcolm, and Salt Lake's outstanding citizen, Ab Jenkins. He and his able crew of assistants spent weeks under the blowing sun ami the eye splitting glare of the salt. Today they are doing the same thing And ail for one purpose, to establish the efficient y of their automobiles at high speeds. E.vston came to the salt flats after Ab Jenkins had set a new worlds mold for a 21 hour run at an aerage of 135 48 miles an how after Sir Malcolm had guided his thundering Bluebird the straightaway for the breath taking speed of 301.13 miles an hour. Carefully he made his preparations, groomed and tuned his Speedy track for 24 hours toset of Die Winds and then circled the a new record of 14052 miles an hour for the long grind.
