Probably no more adventurous mo-
torist than William Vaughn can be
found in Southern California. New trips
that have never been tried before by
motorists are attempted by him, and
with his skill as a driver and good
judgment that has come with n wealth
of experience he makes the trips that
seem too hard for the average driver
to attempt pleasure jaunts in every
sense of the word.
A party in three machines, one Of
which Mr.. Vaughn drove, started for
the Soledad for a couple of days shoot
ing taking along several woman MEM
bers in the party.
Edgar Apperson drove his Jackrab-
bit and Mr.. Kendall took his Northern.
Leaving Los Angeles Saturday after
noon about 3 o'clock the party went
to Saugus. where they spent the night,
going into the Soledad the next day.
About a mile this side of Lang a
turn was made into Deadman's gulch
and the canyon followed to the upper
end, where a steep grade, that makes
the Fremont pass blush for its lack
of uprightness, confronted the drivers.
The road was slippery and rough, but
the entire party got over safely, only
to find the other side was worse, IL

AUT0lSTS BLAZE WAY
FOR THEIR FOLLOWERS
Party In Forty-Horse-Power oIdsmo-
bile Making an Extended Trip
Through Central and
Southern States

Ralph r. owen and a party of path
finders were expected to reach Louis
Vile to day in the forty-horse power
Oldsmobile, which is blazing the way
between New York and New Orleans.
The tourists left New York at noon
Monday, January 49, and have been
crossing the country by easy stages,
despite the intense cold of the past
week.
The object of the tour is threefold
The first is the gathering of data
relative to the roads between New York
and the metropolis of the gulf, the Sec
ond to gather data relative to the
political situation and the third to
offer the machine to be used as the
official car at the Mardi Gras celebra-
tion beginning the end of February.
Angus Smith, a director of the Odds
motor works, accompanied the tourists
from Syracuse, N. Y, to Cleveland, O.,
where he was replaced by #. l.. Smith,
vice president and general manager of
the Odds company, who will continue to
the end of the trip. The latter VIII
canvass the towns through which the
car passes relative to the various pres
idential possibilities. The information
thus gained will be given to the news
papers and to the national political
committees.
Mr.. owen was selected to drive the
machine because of his successful tour
from New York to Florida in the Mud
lark last winter. His crew includes
some of the passengers who made the
famous trip. The tourists are equipped
with a formidable array of shovels,
picks. ropes and tackle for emergency
work.
Conditions of the roads between New
York, Albany, Buffalo and Cleveland
were noted and information gathered
to be furnished to the committee In
charge OF the New York-Paris race,
which starts next month. From Louis
Vile the party will proceed to Birming-
ham via Nashville. and on the way to
New Orleans Baton Rouge will be In
cluded in the itinerary.

that Mr. Pope was inclined to believe
that such results could only be gotten
from a two-cylinder car by dopeing It..
He was made the proposition that If a
new car did not do better they
would not take his money. The new
car was taken out and put through the

Special trains are to be run from

nearly any motor event ever held in
America. There are already more than
twenty entries, which, If no more come

Two of the entries are Appcrson

Four Jackrabbits will compete in
road events within the next few weeks,

ME- CHNIKOFF AND HIS
SOUR MILK THEORY

The Kamehameha School for Boys,
Honolulu, T. H., Oct. 9th
Editor Advertiser: An editorial, last
Sunday, on the use of sour milk, recalls
statements by Metchnikof in his g Pro
longation of Life.
One reason given there fer premature
old age is the putrefaction that takes
place in the large intestine. This putre-
faction is caused by microbes
Scientists have experimental with
various drugs to find what will most
effectually destroy these microbes. Or,
better STILL prevent their increase. The
use of Tactic acid has been found most
successful. But for certain reasons it
has been found better to use the Tactic
bacilli than to use the Tactic acid. These
bacilIi become somewhat acclimatized
in the alimentary canal, and produce
there the Tactic acid needed to destroy
the germs that cause putrefaction.
Tactic bacilli are most abundant in
sour or curdled milk. Hence the bene-
fit derived from the use of curdled milk,
as part of the diet.
Metchnikoff quotes from many scien-
tifc travellers to show that in coun
tries where curdled milk forms a part
of the diet, a large per cent of the
people reach the four-score limit; while
reach the advanced age of
from $50 to 200 years.
Before curdling milk, it should be
sterilized. Then pure cultures of the
actic bacillus is added to curdle the
milk.
ANY one interested in this matter,
IAN find it well presented in the book
mentioned, on pages 145 to 1873, in
