AUTOMOBILlSTS WARNED NOT
TO START BEFORE MAY

Colonel Sellers issues warning
with his road bulletin, telling auto
tourists not to start overland before
May /, by which time he expects the
roads viii be in flrst-class shape
here rs what he has 10 say:
From my personal knowledge Of
the transcoutinental route from Kan
sas city 10 Albuquerque and Spring
crville, Ari2., and thence the two
routes west to Los Angeles and san
Diego, ! earnestly would recommend
that tourists do not start on the trip
before May I. BY that time these
roads Will have been dragged and
repaired, and will enable the tourist
to enjoy comfortable and safe trip.
mere IS no question but that these
routes viii far excel any other across
the country, both in road and weather
conditions All streams are bridged.
no dangerous places Of any conse-
uuence to pass over and any ordinary
driver. with little care, should have
no car trouble of any kind, other than
the usual tire trouble There are
supplies, water, gasoline, good hotels
and fine camping places at short in
tcrvals along the entire route, a mem
orandum Of which can be had by in
curing at my office"
