Or. and Mrs. Pearcy Complete
a Most Remarkable Trip in
Their Lozier Six.

Tanned almost to the brown of an
Indian, DIR. and Mrs. E. NJ. Pearcy, OF
Carlisle court, have returned from
their trip to California, which was
made in their Lozier Six. In their
roadster they made the entire trip to
the western coast and return, and
from all appearances, both are very
happy to be home again or back Sin
Gods country, which is good enough
for me-" as Doctor Pearcy remarked.
The Clarksburg tourists left Au-
gust 16, via the Lincoln highway,
which route the traversed as far west
at Denver, where they branched OF
and visited Yellowstone Park. coming
back to the highway at Salt Lake
City, Utah. then proceeding to San
Francisco. One and two-day stops
were made at all the principal cities
on their journey to the coast and ten
days were spent in San Francisco.
while their car was overhauled.
Leaving San Francisco the tourists
visited Los Angeles and San Diego
and then started homeward, bound
by southern route. crossing the dan
gerous desert in lower California and
Arizona. After leaving San Diego.
they did not stop in any cities except
at night, and by the way Of Sante Fe,
Kansas City, st. Louis and Columbus
theiy hurled homeward.
All Kinds of weather.
All kinds Of weather were encoun-
tered on the trip and most every kind
OF road was driven over. Either good
time or bad time was made, the best
days mileage being 230 miles, which
was made from Indiana over into Ohio
Thursday of last week. The fastest
the car was driven for an average
hour was fifty-two miles, while there
were> hours in which they did not
make as many as five miles. They
travelled S,377 miles and the Lozier
was hitting" fine when they arrived
in this city. Two puncture were had
going west and not a puncture coming
home until the last two days before
they arrived in Clarksburg, when they
were unfortunate in receiving three
punctures. One set Of tires made the
trip out and new set purchased in
San Francisco was used coming back
and these tires are in good condition
now.
Experiences were had which would
supply Jack London with enough ma
terial to write, stories for a year.
Many near serious accidents were had,
parts Of the car were broken, the
tourists slept out and In ranch hous-
es, Spanish, Mexican and Indian peo-
pie housed them at night At times
they ate regularly and at times they
did not. They narrowly escaped bad
men" in the West and were several
times close to hold-ups.
Near Hold-U Ups. :
Anita King, the famous moving pic
ture actress, representing the Kissel
Motor Car Company. who drove alone
to the coast and back, was passed on
the road shortly after having been
held up and robbed. Miss King was
robbed twice on her journey. probably
from the wide publicity given her
trip.
One OF the near accidents suffered
by the Clarksburg machine occurred
on wooden bridge thirty feet high.

OF speed and when crossing the
bridge a knuckle in the steering wheel
broke and the. car plunged against

the circuit court from this order.

for the admission of foreign cotton
lint must be obtained for al iinports.
Boston, New York. San Francisco, and
Seattle are at the present time desig-
mated as ports of entry for surn cot
ton, but it is possible that other ports
may be added to this list from time
to time. Application blanks for these
permits are provided for in the regula-
lions and all applicants must state the
locality where the cotton was grown,
the year of growth. the port from
which it is being shipped, and the per-
SON In the United States to whom Il
is consigned.
For The remainder of this year no
other material restrictions are placed
upon the importation of cotton. but
after January 1 1916. the regulations
provide that all cotton must be dfsin-
fected under the supervision of an
inspector of the Department of Agri-
culture before it can be moved from
the port of entry The reason for the
delay in putting this requirement into
practice is the necessity of developing
the necessar ymeans for this work. In
the case of imports from countries
which maintain cotton inspection and
are abel to certify that the imports
are free from injurious diseases and
pests, disinfection will not be re-
quired.
In addition to securing permit for
the entry Of cotton, shippers must
notify the Department of Agriculture
of the arrival of all imports and of
shipments of the cotton from the port
of entry to the consignee. Further
more, a license must be obtained in
order to enable the consignee to use
the cotton. He must a-ree to allow
the Department to inspect his factory
or mill, to store the imported cotton
in insect-proof, screened warehouses,
and to observe whatever other meas
ures may be prescribed by the Govern
ment to prevent the spread of infec-
ton. Moreover the holder of such
a license cannot make subsequent
shipment of the cotton to any one
except another license holder
These regulations are the result of
a careful study of the danger of seeds
the pink boil worm coming
into the country with the lint. Many
of the cotton mills in the South are
so close to cotton fields that the pest
might easily find it's way to them
some such medium as picker
waste Where the pink boil worm
has established itself it has been
found to be one of the most destruc-
tive of cotton pests and in consequence
the Department is determined to take
every possible precaution agaiFsl- it's
entry into this country.
