| Haas, superintendent of the Thomas fac
tory. and the driver started for Los An
geles. There were many wet places In
the road, but the filler made good
progress until it arrived at the little
creeks near the Pala Mission. These
creeks had become swollen rivers and a
rushing torrent came down through the
mountain. When the automobile ehugged
by the little mission the word spread rap
idly among the Indians at the reservation
that it was going TO swim the river.
There were soon several hundred wildly
curious braves lined up along the bank.
An Indian on horseback went across to
locate the ford and came back with the
information that the car could get
through. With power on, the machine
plunged in, Mr. Thomas and Mr.. Haas

MAYOR URGES BUILDING OF
ROAD TO COUNTY LINE.

Motorists are encouraged by the inter-
est Mayor Schmitz Is taking in the new
highway to be constructed in connection
with Nineteenth avenue from a point near
Ingleside to the county line in the yicin-
ity of San Bruno. The Mayor says the
road shall be constructed as soon as prac-
ticable, and he urges that all preliminaries
be arranged at once. He has stirred up
the city engineer on the matter and asked
him to prepare the plans for the road
The construction of this thoroughfare
will greatly facilitate the journeying to
and from San Francisco of all motorists
living between San Bruno and Palo Alto
The roads as far north as San Bruno are
in good condition. but from San Bruno
in they are In extremely bad condition
during three-fourths of the year The
proposed highway will form a new route
for the autoists, and also a smore direct
run for them to. the city.
Around New York, and in fact all the
large Eastern cities. the business men are
in the habit of running to their offices in
their autos. They find it great conyen-
fence and comfort, as they can take their
own time and avoid the discomfort of
trains. When the road from Ingleside is
completed 1t Is supposed that the men
who do business In San Francisco and
live at Palo Alto and other suburbs down
the peninsula will form the habit of go
ing to their offices in their horseless car
riages. and the roads will have a process
sion of rubber-tired cars rolling over them
every morning The forming OF the habit
will help the sale of automobiles down
the peninsula, and the agents are hoping
that the road will be ready for business
before many weeks have gone by.
The Automobile Club of California has
gathered nearly sufficient funds to do its

part of the work beyond the county line
to San Bruno. This will cost about $50, ,00O.
Nineteenth avenue is one of the most
beautiful short automobile runs in this
vicinity. There is view from various
points along it of the ocean far off over
the sand dunes and on the slopes above
and below are verdure, while 1t plunges
into thick woods at it's southern end. The
grades are not bad for autos and the road
is always In. good condition. With a con-
nection with the roads down the penin-
sula it will form picturesque and pleas
ing entrance into the city, a portion of
the park intervening before the heart Of
the city Is reached.
The new highway will be separate from
the one that is now in use down the
peninsula, and there will be no cars or
heavy teaming to cut 1t to pieces and
create dust and ruts. Light horse vehicles
will be allowed on it.

PLANS TOUR
TO THE EAST

Mrs. w E Corey, wife of the Pitts
burg steel magnate, has become so at
tached to the touring car that she seems
10 be restless unless she is experiencing
the exhiliarating shaking up that the
sprinGy rubber tires administer to those
who loll above them as they roll over
the country roads-and in too many
cases, over bad city streets.
Mrs. Corey is not satisfied with con-
quering the sage brush wastes of Ne
vada and the highways of California;
she is now to make a trip to PittSburg
by way of Chicago in her Pierce Great
Arrow and will then ship a machine to
Europe and tour the old world. She will
be accompanied by her mother-in-law,
Mrs. W. c. Corey, and her sister-in-law,
Miss Ida Corey.
A. ]. Volkel, known as one of the ex-
pert chauffeurs of the State will be at
the helm of Mrs. Corey's car. He has
steered the machine bearing her and her
party over many thousands of miles and
has met with no accidents. He Is sail
ing onto an unknown sea when he at
tempts the trip across the country, but
has perfect confidence that he will get
through without any mishap and on good
time.
I'VE will ship/the car to Reno on Wed
nesday," said Volkel, land will make
the start from there in a few days for
Ogden. From the latter city we will go
to Chicago and from there TO Pittsburg
At Pittsburg Mrs. Corey will purchase a
DIETRICH machine, which she will ship
to Europe and will begin the tour of the
old world some time in July.
IT don't know what roads we will
travel from Ogden to Chicago as l know
nothing about that country, but we will
get through all right. I'll find the roads
and we'll make the trip flying. The run
to Pittsburg will have no difficulties at
tending it
This means that Mrs. Corey is getting
ready to return to her home in the smoky
city 1t is said that she is full of antici-
patton of the pleasure of her long auto
run. Her greatest attachment to the
motor car as vehicle of pleasure
though she has been a devoted autoist
for several years, developed at Reno
while a self constituted exile in that
city
For some time she found diversion in
racing through the bracing air of the high
plains in her motor car. From there she
went to the southern part of the State,
where she has been seen on all the roads
frequented by the auto enthusiasts Her
run to this city a few days ago was made
in fast time and she has been out a great
deal in her machine while here BY the
time she has done this continent and
Europe In an auto she will have rank
among the motorists who are famed for
the ground they have covered. as the In
dian for the scalps he has taken.

RUNNING SORES ON LIMBS.
Little Girls Obstinate Case Of Eczema
Mother Says: "cutieura Rene
dies a Household Standby"

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent
physician. for an obstinate case of
eczema. l resorted to the Cuticura
Remedies, and was SO well pleased
with the almost instantaneous relief
afforded that we discarded the physi-
clans prescription and relied entirely
on the Cuticura Soap. Cuticura ONT
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence of
the trouble. We find that the Cuti-
cura Remedies are a valuable house
hold standby, living as we do, twelve
miles from a doctor. and where it
costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.

When does a girl become an old
maid? This question, blunt and shorn
of delicate innuendo. is now figuring
in the somnolent discussion of Phila-
delphia society. One might say that
a girl becomes an old maid when she
fails to marry betimes, but that is not
the point. What is the exact year
that ushers in spinsterhood and closes
forever the gates of youth? OF course,
this is not a matter in which man
has any word to say. No rational
wearer of trousers would tempt fate
and the scorn of femininity by at
tempting a suggestion, for any arbi-
trary dead line would necessarily
bring down upon the luckless mascu-
line head storm of reprobation. 1t
has been left to the women them
selves to brave the peril. And they
have placed the age at 40 years.
Under this ruling a woman is ten
der bud until twoscore years have
counted their gloomy litany of days
and the hair near the scalp begins to
whiten.
