aru route, through Mexico, Arizona and
New Mexico, entering Texas at FL PaSo,
thence across the semiarid region in
west Texas to Roscoe, where they took
the back trail to Weatherford.
On the outgoing trip the weather was
cool and rainy much of the time. They
encountered many stretches of road
that were made bad by mud. This con-
dition lasted almost all the way from
the northern portion Of Texas until
they were well through Wyoming.
Prom Salt Lake to Ely, Nevada, they
crossed a desert country and found the
sand so bad in places that a team had
to be employed to pull the automobile
several miles over the worst part Of
the road.
Hard Experience in California.
The hardest experience, however, was
in the delta of the Colorado river in
Lower California. Against the advice
of men who were familiar with the
bad condition of the roads in that re-
gion they left the usual route and
turned south In q sparsely settled sec
ton their car got stuck in the sand.
The three tourists were unable to ex-
tricate it from its predicament and had
to walk u miles to a ranch house where
they hired a team to go back and pull
the car in. While pulling the machine
over the brushcovered road it was

ways leading out Of Salt Lake City,
but most Of the other roads over which
they travelled in that state were in poor
condition. To their surprise they found
several roads in western Texas that are
devoted exclusively to automobile trav-
ell, signs being posted warning other
vehicles to Keep off of same.
Unique West Texas Road.
One Of their most unique experiences
was riding over a stretch of road in
the transpecos section of this state
which was paved with bear grass. This
strong and tough material protected
the wheels of the car from sinking into

Austin. Texas, Sept 2S.-Motor car
trips across the continent are not at
all unusual, but the route followed by
most of these tourists has become a
beaten highway Of travel during the
last year or two. 1t remained for three
Texas young men to recently finish a
journey to the shore of the Pacific ano
return that was remarkable in several
respects. In the first place they dld
not follow the ordinary roads that are
marked out in the motor car tourlst
guides. They explored new trails ana
highways, and in doing so they not only
found exceptionally great enjoyment
for themselves, but went through some
rather trying experiences The men
in this party were Lem ScarbrouSh, OF
Austin, and Sam White and Barney

motor car was owned and driven by
Mr. White. 1t was OF 4S horsepower
and came through the long journey in

Delay By Broken Parts.
The failure of the repair parts to ar
rive caused them to walk to the rail-
road, where they took train for Yuma,
AriZ. When the parts came it was
found one piece was still lacking, and
this caused another delay, which time
they spent in the open desert In the
meantime they employed Mexican and
his team to pull the car so miles to
Yuma, Ariz. They made a new start
from Yuma after the repairs had been
finished over rough stretch of noun
tain highway. covered with lava rocks,
almost to Phoenix, Ariz. One of the
finest stretches of road and the most
delightful from scenic standpoint was
that which they cOursed over between
Phoenix and Globe.

Tahoe, in Nevada. They took the wrong
road and after a very difficult drive,
finally reached the aItitudinous heights

Reasons Why 1913 Chalmers
Cars Are First in the Es-
fin1ation of Discrin1in-
oting Motorists

Two great cars claim your attention
as the Chalmers offerings for 1913-the
Chalmers "Thirty-Six' and the Chal-
ners six"
The "Thirty-Six" at $3.50, is the new
model OF the most popular car We ever
produced, and is equipped with every
convenience and comfort An all-around
car at a medium price.
The six" at ss4oO to $500 is truly
maximum car in power, comfort and
luxury And yet, through quantity
production and uhexcelled Chalmers
manufacturing facilities, we are able
to offer it at a moderate price.
Note these reasons for the popularity
of these two cars:
COmfOrT-Naximum comfort is to be
had in the luxurious Turkish cushions.
11-inch upholstery, long wheel base
(130 in. on the six; 11S in. on the
Thirty SKI. improved springs, big
wheels and tires.
CONFERENCE.-The other car offers so
many conveniences to make driving
simple and easy. Such as Chalmers
patented self-starter, Gray & Davis
electric lights, demountable rims, dash
adjustment for carburetor, ideal ar
rangement of all control apparatus on
dash.
Benuty-Beauty and grace distinguish
every line of the new flush-sided
metal bodies, the sweeping bell back.
the hooded dash The nickel trim
mings leather lining and sumptuous
finish add the finishing touches of
perfection.
Safety-The most careful attention has
been, given by Chalmers engineers to
the factors OF safety: Wheels. axIes.
frames. brakes, steering gear All
are of a weight and strength to in
sure against accident.
Long Stroke MOtOr-The Chalmers
motors are ideal for every require
ment-nile- minute speed, slow-run-
ming in city traffic, hill-climbing o.
dogged ploughing through sand o.
mud.
FOur-FOrward Speed Transmission
This great improvement-first offered
by the Chalmers Company in a
medium priced car-affords utmost

The great secret of keeping the
face young is to keep off the dead cut

the noted English dermatologist, now
visiting this country. ut is well
known that the surface skin is con-
stantly dying, falling off in impercept-
ible particles, except in some diseased
conditions, when the same appear like
dandruff. But the particles do not
drop off Immediately they die, being
held for awhile by the live skin.

is painful and expensive operation.
The same result is obtained by apply
ing ordinary mercolized wax, as you
would cold cream. One ounce is suf-

and inexpensive. The wax, procurable
