Tour Tells Some
Experiences.
Goes From Philadelphia to Frisco
And Back.

DR.. T. c. Treadwell, OF New York, Is In
Montgomery for few days. on the last
leg OF a double trans-contitnenta1 auto
mobile tour, He left Philadelphia, June
IS. to make the run from Philadelphia TO
San Francisco in a motor car, and
enjoyed the trip that he decided to make
the same sort Of a run on his way back.
Instead OF going home, however, by way
of Denver, st. Louis and Chicago, he de-
ter1nined to swing down through the
Southern States. He expects to be in
Philadelphia within the next month or so.
With DR.. Treadwell are his wife and
his brother-in-law, C. s. Parke, who have
accompanied him through the entire trip.
They did not start out to make a speed
or endurance record. hut just to see the
country. DR.. Treadwel formerly spent
his vacations yachting on the Atlantic
coast but tired Of 1t, and when the first
big uans-continental tours were run, be-
came interested and decided to take such
q trip himself.
The autoist says the life II ideal; that
they start when they please and stop
when they please, stopping along the road
and camping out as long as they find the
vicinity interesting. In this way they
spent a month near Los Angeles, Cal, and
similar lay-overs at other places Of inter-
est
Once. however. they moved on in spite
OF themselves. It was in Nebraska and
the car had been stopped about o'clock
in the afternoon and the camp pitched.
They were out Of sight of everything save
the moon and stars and the road when
night came on, but they had good sup
per and were satisfied. Just as they had
retired, from the distant, hay. hilltops
there came floating on the night air the
long, plaintiye howl of a. wolf.
Give Wolves Merry Chase.
DR.. Treadwell says the camp was struck
very quickly and the machine loaded and
on its way. They did not start too soon
Hardly had the machine gotten its head
way, when pack of wolves leaped over
a nearby hill and raced after the car To-
Luckily the machine was in first-class
order. Mile after mile the engine did its
work, the car always being kept within
enticing distance OF the wolves to make
them run their best. When they began
to lag. top speed was put on and they
soon were outdistanced.
That was about the only unpleasant in
cident of the trip, the doctor says.
DR.. Treadwell says the railroads, COM
cercial development and motor cars, are
eliminating sectional lines. The search
for new fields Of labor by members OF
families from all parts of the country is
mixing the people, their visits by rail-
roads are giving them an idea of what
America really is and just such trips as
the one being taken by the doctor is doing
more to unity the people Of the United
States than anything else.
DR.. TTeadweu will leave Montgomery
in about a week, going to New York by
way of Atlanta, and from New York to
Philadelphia, the end Of the journey. More
than 10000 miles will have been covered
during the tour.-Montgomery Advertiser.
