Gust for exper- fence believe me that is alb After rehearsing with Spanish interpreters for all possible phrases useful in cafe we dared entrance through a real "pie-aIley" until an adobe shack filled with tables and jolly MeXicanS gave promise to satisfy the peculiar tastes that we had suddenly acquired. Our entrance seemed signal for grin from all the restaurants Occu- pants. All confident of the newly 2c- quired linguistic powers, we conceded that the Spanish record on the Vic- trola was the source of merrimcnt.

 els, chantlv, but when further details were demanded in rapid fire. we at once agreed that further recourse to the dictionary was necessary before we again exiled ourselves from American methods of satisfying an appetite The conversation finally degenerated to a display of fingers and mutteringS, the one trusting to the other to en- Dloy the right word, and after learn ing all about tamaleS, i. e.-mOde Of devOuring, appearance, taste, etc, we pledged allegiance to the mess here after.

 A series of rains made it necessary to drive madly across the torrents that flooded the roads. At one place Tubas, we were held Up for half an hour at a small colony of Mexican dwellings,. The colony was quite mod ern, having a dirty shack That ad- ycrtised, "ROSy's Cafe" and one more rambling shack that was called '"Tubas Hotel" When the water had some what subsided, the county sheriff was convinced that a Ford could swim and made good his assertion.
