Charles Kellogg, With Wife
and Chauffeur, Travels in
a Motor Car House Built
of One Piece Of Redwood
Weighing Three Tons

Here is the story of the modern
tree man. He lives in the trunk OF
q huge redwood tree on top of a
motor truck. Not only one man, but
his wife and his chauffeur live there.
Most Of us are key-ring persons,
Charles Kellogg says, and are afraid to
leave our houses unlocked, but he has
set out to be different.
A man and a woman travelled across
the country on foot from Omaha to
San Francisco in 1S47. They carried
70 firearms and in that period, when
the Indians were massacring one band
Of white men after another they
travelled the whole way with nothing
but good wishes and kindly treatment
from the Indians, because they were
not afraid of them. They went to
the Redwood Country, a land of big
trees, tall and straight, with cathedral
aisles through them, lit by shafts
Of sunlight. Here, in little log cabin
Charles Kellogg was born. At his
birth his mother died, and for two
years he was carried around by an
Indian squaw, who strapped him on
her back and took him wherever the
Indians wandered. and so he grew up
with the Digger Indians in California.
a huge, hollow, redwood tree was his
playhouse. He learned to know all
the beasts, birds and creeping things
of the forests and they became his
friends. The ground was his bed. He
has lived in the open for nine months
of the year ever since.
Do We hear any objection TO the
meatless day? The animals, birds and
fish were all such friends OF ,Nr
Kellogg that he has had over 1880
meatless days; not only meatless days,
but in the whole of his life he has
never tasted fish, flesh or fowl Of any
kind.
When he grew older he began TO
travel and became a naturalist. He
rcamed from Alaska TO Africa. through
France and Switzerland and the islands
Of the sea. The out-of-the-way places
of the globe are 10 rim what Broad
way is 10 the New Yorker. He travelled
with John Burroughs through the
East Indies. John Muir was one of
his best friends.
The man himself is like a breath Of
the wind. lie comes into the room
bringing the air of tall trees and the
spaceless deserts with him. He is
strong and broad and with keen, far
seeing blue eyes and humorous mouth.
lie wears a rough tweed suit, soft
gray flannel shirt and a gray silk tie.

giyon strength. Bodies are being made
better and lighter; and much improve

tendency for the wheels to grow larger
each year seems TO have expended it.
self; and with the increased number Of
good road,, wheels Of medium size save
some cost and weight and seem quite
satisfactory.
The stream lines, which in the past
have been developed because they af-
feet speed, now are recognized as
equally good in saving fuel, because
at any considerable speed they greatly
reduce the head resistance TO the air
The "onc-man tops" now so universal,
are more often seen down than in tn"
past. and this practice saves air resist
auce and fuel. Inclined wind shields
throw the air upward and over the
riders head with very slight resistance
and are in common use. The self
starter saves fuel by permitting the en-
CINE 10 be stopped whenever the car is
not running, instead of idling TO avoid
the cranking labor Front mud guards
which turn down well in front Of the
wheels defect the air up and over the
wheel, instead Of allowing il to strike
and retard the rapidly moving wheel
tops, and this results in apprecisble
saving of fuel. In these and many
similar ways the thought of the time
is expressed in the construction of the
cars and adds greatly to the interest
in the exhibits at the great motor car
show.
There is a strong movement on TO
have a truck show at the same time as
the passenger car show. It is likely to

Definite decision has been reached to
hold the Bronx Automobile Show of the
Bronx Automobile Dealers Association
at the I'd Field Artillery Armory, Frank

week of February TO 16, 1918.

I'm the list OF members Of the An

Committee Of Patriotic Societies
proposes to form, motor vehicle
manufacturers expect 10 see the
names of the following:
The man who started the rumor
that no gasoIene will be available
The man who .dyfed the world
that the government is going to
stop the production of motor cars;
also the man who started the rumor
that the government already has
stopped motor car manufacture.
The man responsible for the
statement that the government will
not permit the sale OF steel TO mo-

The man who invented the tale
that all skilled automobile workers

The man who declared that with

These, and many others. who

The committees proposal is to
post publicly the names Of men or
women who circulate false rumors
to hamper successful prosecution Of
the war, and II. II. Hills, assistant
general manager OF the Packard Mo-
tor Car Company, declares that such
rumors are vicious propaganda and
serve to hamper seriously the even
continuance OF business in America
and handicap the country greatly in
its war preparations.
