The tired walker groaned, “Well, how far is it,” ha asked, “if the crow’s got a blister on each heel, a dashed great pack to carry, and has to walk?” J One hundred curves and hairpin bends are m their 18 miles of the Nurburg Bine, which has just been laid out in the Eifel country. It ts the largest racing and testing motor track in the world. There is very little banting upon the perfect surface of tar macadam. The gradienta range from 12 to 27 in the 100 going upward, and the down gradients to 11 in the 100. There is hardly a level yard of it. Many of the turnings are hidden in the trees, and drivers must be all eyes and attention for the 'whole of the run.
