AUTO STRAW RIDE
BRINGS DIVERSIONS
ONE BREAKDOWN AND THREE
FIRES DELAY THE RE-
TURN.

An old fashioned hay ride brought
mp to modern methods was in vogue
last evening by the younger set. The
boys engaged an auto truck and the
girls brought the lunch and refresh
ments. The party started at 1880
rom Miss Wilson's home on Florence
avenue. The truck was packed with
hay and Joy makers. Their destina
ton proved to be Alkali Springs
where all went in swimming. After
enjoying the pool the crowd ate mid
night lunch under the beautiful blue
desert sky, sprinkled with tiny little
stars. On the way home everything
went fairly well with the exception OF
the loss of one spring. The truck
had to back nearly four hundred
yards before the missing part was
found. Then the troubles began. The
exhaust pipe happened to get red hot
and set the machine on fire, but the
blaze was extinguished with drinking
water before any damage was done.
The machine caught on fire three
times during the entire journey. The
fun makers managed to reach their
homes as the sun was rising In the
heavens.
