WOOD TELLS OF
HIS SOUTHERN TRIP

w W. Wood of this city recently
made trip to Los Angeles that is
worthy of record He left this city in
mechanician, one afternoon about $40
o'clock. The roads were good as far as
Gllroy, then some rough stretches of
highway were encountered until he
reached San Luis station beyond Pa
checo pass. He said:
We climbed most of this road on the
second and when we got to the summit
place his hands on it. The next stop
was made at Los Banos, where we took
on gas and oil and left for Mendoza,
arriving at $3.50 in the evening, 35 miles
from Fresno
We averaged 81 miles an hour from
there1 TO Fresno, as the roads were
good from Mendoza. We reached Fresno
at o'clock in the evening and left
there al 1890 the next morning. We
Iost tlme by missing our way Half
way TO bakersfield the roads were gen
orally fair, but in one place we struck
nVe miles of plowed land We reached
bakersheld at $50 in the afternoon.
ne next morning we made a start
at $3.50 o'clock for Adobe station. which
was the beginning of our ride across
the desert. Although the road was
0-'NS We averaged ABOUT 30 miles an
hour, passing through Rose station at
the base of TETON pass. We made the
climb on the low speed. Upon reaching
the summit we found that the water in
the machine had not boiled. From the
summit to San Francisquita grade the
ROADS were good. Going down the
grace we used the brakes for about
eight miles, braking mostly with the
engine.
After passing Newell grade the
ROADS were good and we made fast time
into Los Angeles, which city we
reached about $3.50 o'clock in the after
noon.
We had no trouble with the ma
chine on the entire trip, not even a
puncture, and we averaged g miles on
a gallon of gasoline, carrying three
passengers and at least 200 pounds of
luggage"
Wood expressed himself as being de-
lighted with his car and said that he
would venture anywhere now with
the auto, as it had demonstrated its
splendid qualities.

GIRL Will CROSS
COUNTRY in AUTO

Another woman is to take trans
continental trip, without the aid of
mere man. Miss Blanche Stuart Scott
2 young society woman of Rochester,
\. Y, viii start from New York city
May 16 in her Overland car on trip,
the destination of which is this city.
Miss Scott is an outdoor girl, athletic,
but without loss of femininity, being
truly an American girl She is full of
resource and fearless of danger. but
thoroughly realizes the possible dis
comforts and vicissitudes through
which she will have to pass on jour
ney of this length. During the early
her companion Miss A. L. Phillips of
New York, but at Chicago will be
joined by another friend for the re-
mainder of the trip.
Miss Scott's car is an Overland road
ster. finished in white with nickel plat
ed trimmings. No regular route will
be followed, as Miss Scott is not trying
for a record. 1t is probable, however,
that the following cities will be passed
through: Albany. Utica, Rochester Cher
home), Buffalo, Cleveland and Chicago.
From this point the southern route.will
be taken to Los Angeles, then up the
coast to San Francisco.
Miss Scott will bear a sealed message
from Mayor Gaynor of New York to
Mayor Mccarthy of this city, and it is
also thought that the Daughters of the
American Revolution of New York will
entrust her with a message to the
Daughters of the American Revolution
of California. In a recent interview
in New York Miss Scott said:
Women are entirely too dependent
on men, I do not mean to say by any
means that l do not admire the cling
ing vine type or the feminine woman
But many women who have cars are
too dependent on men of the family or
their chauffeurs, and often a car will
lie idle when a woman, if she were
able TO handle it, could spend many
hours in the open air in the enjoyment
of the keenest sport in the world /

became interested in the mechanism
Of the car itself and finally ended in
gong TO Toledo, there to learn in the
factory of the Overland how to re-

assistance. Finally my long cher
lshed idea of a transcontinental trip,
at the wheel of my own car, with
congeniai girl friend as my compan-
Ion, has materialized and next week /
snail start. My trip will last about
three months and l am making no
speed records and attempting no
scorching or anything of that sort 1
am making the trip purely for pleas

HANDY DEVICE FOR
REPAIRING Tires

The Auto supply company has in
cluded in its large stock of goods the
Segerstrom electric vulcanizer, which
will repair tires without removing the
casing from the rim. The device was
invented by Fred w. Segerstrom. 1t
consists of a new and simple arrange
ment for clamping the heater to the
inner tube and also to the casing, with
out removing the latter from the wheel.
The vulcanizer possesses a concave
heater. which regulates the heat in
such a way as enables the device to
perform its work.
t. o. Fenstermacher, northwestern
agent for the Firestone tire and rubber
company, with headquarters in In
,dianapolis, has given the Segerstrom
invention test and writes that it has
proved to be satisfactory. He says, in
part:
I'VE have connected it with an ordi-
nary lighting socket and run it at ESQ,
$50 and 270 degrees of heat and kept it
at the various points for hours at 275
degrees without the least variation.
We have no hesitancy in saying that it
is marvel and that this vulcanizer
excels all vulcanizers in the market at
this time, for we have found none that
controls the heat as does the one you
have demonstrated to U.S.

Matchless SimpIicitv

Overland cars sell largely because
of their matchless simplicity. They
are the choice of hundreds of ex-
perts, but they appeal above all to
men who run their own cars. There
is no other car nearly as simple.
One simply pushes pedals back
ward or forward to get on low
speed, high speed or reverse. 1t
is as simple and natural as walk
ing. All the usual complexities
have been eliminated. One has
nothing to think of but the road,
the hands have nothing to do but
steer.
