Stuart Scott, who is crossing the conti-
nent in an automobile. and her travel
ing companion, Miss Gertrude Phillips,
arrived In Stockton this afternoon, hav-

ing travelled 1922 miles.
They arrived dusty and tired, but de-
lighted with the strenuous trip.
I'VE have demonstrated that a
woman can cross the country in an
automobile as well as a man. said Miss
Scott. This talk about the hazardous
trip, it seems, is somewhat exagger-
ated. We have had delightful time.
We fixed many of the punctures and
breakdowns ourselves, although we
took advantage of garages the same
as any one does.
I'VE travelled from Cleveland to Co
lunlbus, where we met the governor of
Ohio. We saw the Wright brothers
fly and proceeded to Indianapolis and
on to Toledo, South Bend and Chicago.
We also took in the speedway races
Our course was on to Iowa, and we
were the first to go over the river to
river road, of which the Iowa section
is completed.
I'VE continued on our way to Omaha
Hastings and Cheyenne and were the
first to cross the Fort Steel bridge
From Cheyenne we went to Denver and
Nevada desert, through Duckwater and
Ely and then on to California.
I'VE experienced some trouble max
ing a couple of the Sierra grades From
Stockton we will go to Hayward. where
we will rest and clean up. We will
spend some time in San Francisco and
will motor to Los Angeles. l have en-
joyed the trip so well that I may pos
sibly go back by automobile
I'VE have been treated royalty. We
needed no better chaperon than our
automobile. We were actually given a
parade across Ohio. They even dragged
the road for us.
''Oh, yes, I nearly forgot to tell you
that we haven't worn our hats. We will
get our first hats when we reach San
Francisco. We wore tailored suits until
we got west, when We donned these
simpler garments
The trip is being made in Lady

Miss Scott gave her residence as
Rochester, N. Y, and Miss Phillips as

are the pictures of health, their sun
burnt cheeks being the best evidence
of the long trip.
