Little Mary Louise Peach-which is
not exactly her name. but near enough
went away for the summer a long
time ago, and bereft the block in which
she lives of its sunshine. Those VINO
know her well and those who know
her only to smile to. have been wonder
. ing when she will return.
Around a big city like Washington
. one finds many things Of interest, but
none of more human interest than city
blocks themselves, with their rows OF
houses and occupants. Each block
seems to have an individuality all its
own. Its people. although they may
not formally" know each other, really
do, of course Even in big city folks"
are human.
So, consciously or unconsciously,
many people on the square in question
are wondering when the little bobbed-
haired girl will come back. One would
be poet"-the world is SO full of near
poets that no block is free from one or
more-has even gone so far as to IN
dfte a few verses on the subject.
In prose one would say: Little Miss
Peach is away for the summer" But
when one. writes poetry" the above
statement becomes something like this:
Where has little Mary gone.
She who sweet,
She who was the pretty one
or orr block and streetf
Who has taken her away
Who the road show
We must take TO find her now,
Where the hreezes blow?
All the sunshine of the day,
And the summer flowers,
Vanished when she went away
From this town of our
Happy laugh and shining ham
Twinklins feet and hands.
All have gone away of there
To the lucky lands
To the lucky lands she's gone,
Where her sunny head
Wakes the lucky folks at dawn
From their lucky bed;
Where the music of her voice
And her gentle ways
Makes the lucky folks rejoice
Through the summer days.
When will little Mary come
She who is so sweet
And he again the pretty one
OF our block and street?
Summer days that slowly end,
Bright leaves floating down.
They will bring sunny friend
Back to Lucky Town.

MOTOR CAR FITTED
FOR LONG JOURNEY
Roland E. ConkIin, With His
Family. Crossing Continent
in land Yacht"
Vehicle Combines the Comforts Of
Home and Ample Facilities for
transportation.

An unique type Of motor vehicle is
now en- route from New York city to
San Francisco. This motor. which tho
owner calls a gypsy van," or, as it
might more properly be called. a motor
land yacht. is owned by Roland E.
Conklin of New York and Huntington.
L. l., who Is making the transconu-
mental trip with his family
Mr.. Conklin, who is well known In
financial circles. decided last spring to
visit the Panama-Pacific exposition.
and conceived the idea OF making the
trip in an automobile which would
provide living as well as travelling
facilities. His plan was to design a
car that would have every comfort and
necessity provided by a private Pull
man, and yet be able to travel over any
ordinary country road. Instead of
being obliged to lay up in the noisy.
smoky terminal of a railroad yard, 1t
could stop and camp by a wooded
stream over night or in the corner OF
green pasture. AS speed was to be no
special object, motor of sixty horse
power could be used, specially geared
for power instead of speed. SO that it
could climb any mountain grade. Can
vas strips must be provided for going
over sand and as there might be I'M
bridged streams to be crossed. 1t must
carry a knockdown portable bridge.
and a winch that could be operated by
the motor, strong enough to pull the
car out of a mud hole or ditch IL it
should be so unfortunate as to get in

Camping Outfit Complete.

One of the most interesting features
of this remarkable car is its easy ar
engagements for converting it into a
veritable camp when the owner wants
to stop for the night or for fishing or
shooting. This is done by raising the
top and side curtains for the upper
deck, and letting out awnings against
either side, which when lowered pro-
tect the main body from sun and light
rains without the closing of windows.
This upper deck is also made mosquito
proof. When stopping for camp. a flag
waves at the head and a powerful
searchlieht can rotate in every direc-
ton.
Other novel features consist of .
water filter connected with the ice box
which provides arr pure drinking
water. The elect ".' "t'o~aent Is
