 Once over the Colorado river there are a dozen miles of poor going, not dangerous, but uneven and necessi- tating slow driving. Once by this stretch. the road to Needles is fine for a desert highway, and the scenery is impressive.
 Needles is, roughly speaking, half way from Phoenix to Los Angeles and offers all motor facilities. However, if one has planned the trip for three days and makes Parker the first, it is quite possible to drive on to Lud- low for the second night. At Ludlow are two hotels and a garage with supplies. Between Needles and Lud- low is rather bad stretch near Am boy-bad because it is chucked and means slow driving and not bad be- cause it is at all dangerous.
 From Ludlow to Barstow the going
 is good, better than most which has gone before. From Barstow to Vic torville. the road is about of the class from Ludlow to Barstow and from Nictorville to the summit ol the pass leading into San Bernardino the road is excellent.

They managed to sleep, despite their
crumpled position, but finally began to
feel the effects OF the damp and cold.

KOOntZ, half delirious from pain and
hunger made one more frantic attempt

Ben Weaver, a teamster, stopped his

down. He saw Koontz clinging des-
perately to the side. Without a mo-
ment's delay he had attached fresh
ropes to the windlass and In a short
time both men were on the surface.
Here the plucky Koontz, despite his
injuries, mounted horse and rode
eight miles to telephone for doctor.
It was found necessary to amputate
both Carroll's legs just below the
knee, and this was done some days
later. Koontz, however, quickly recov-

Burns, Ore.-Six days in q WELL
without food and water and suffering
severe injuries was the experience that
befell two young men, William Carroll,
aged tWenty-fOur, and Robert k0ontZ,
aged thirty-twO, at CarrolrS home, 50
miles from Burns, Ore. On the home
stead was an old well about 50 feet
deep. Carroll decided to clear it out
and drive the shaft still deeper and
had engaged kOOntZ to carry out the
work. Carroll himself arranged to as
sist his workman, as 1t was necessary
to do some blasting.
The work was well under way when
Carroll went down the rope ladder to
help koontZ prepare a blast. He had
not descended more than dozen feet
when the ropes parted. Carroll made u
frantic clutch at the rough, uneven
wall, but failed to secure any hold and
fell distance of nearly 70 feet, frac-
turing both legs just above the ankle.
Helpless in Bottom Of Well.
Carroll lay at the bottom of the pit,
unable to move and in great pain. His
companion attended to the injuries as
best he could, binding up CAROLS feet
and legs with bandages taken from his
shirt. 1t quickly dawned upon Koontz
that their position was a critical one,
the walls of the we'll being almost per-
pendicular for u distance of 50 feet.
Furthermore, the chance of rescue from
passerby was remote, for the valley
was very sparsely inhabited and few
people passed along the road. half
mile distant.
There was nothing to do but attempt
to scale the steep wall, and without de-
lay Koontz started to do so. He went
up about eight feet, then his feet
slipped and he fell with thud to the
hard bottom.
Time after time Koontz tried to scale
the wall. He dug into the clay with
his feet and made handholes In the
wall above, gradually working higher
and higher. But fate was against him.
A mass of clay suddenly gave way
when he had reached point that
meant success was In sight. He fell,
and as he did, gained momentum so
rapidly that he struck the bottom with
terrific force.
His injuries were so severe that he
was unable to get up. For two days the
unfortunate men, lying side by side at
the bottom of the shaft. suffered in

American Field Headquarters. -
Nothing has contributed more toward
the popularity enjoyed by American
troops In France than the democratic
behavior of their officers. l witnessed
delightful sample Of this the other
day in the city in which Maj. Gen. Rob-
ert Lee Billiard has his headquarters.
Privileged to accompany the general TO

theater, l was standing with him and
two Of his officers in the lobby during
the intermission, when "POilu" hove
into view.
The Frenchman, who wore medals
for valor and stripes showing he had
thrice been wounded, had evidently
consumed a goodly quantity of his
country's wine. Afterward we learned
that it was his first day out of hos
pital, and naturally he had celebrated
a bit.
"GIad to See You, Old chap!"
"Ah, VOLTA des Americains.' he eX-
claimed joyously: I'm indeed glad to
sec you old chap" he went on, shak-
ing the generals hand vigorously. It's
the first time I've met an. American,
though l heard lot about you in hos
pital. Welcome to France! When are
YOU coming into the trenches with us?'
With that he plunged into long
account of his experiences, delivered
in very good English, which he said
he had learned during trip through
the United States five years before.
General Billiard listened smilingly
and kept right on smiling even when
the Poilu clapped him on the back and
called him his "side partner" and in.
vited him to have drink.
Another time, thank you very
much" said the general.
The soldier strolled off. In two min
utes he was back again, but this time
he drew himself up at attention and
gave fiourishing salute.

Excuse me, SIR" he said, "they tell
me you're general. Is that true?"
"Yes. that's So" General Billiard re-
piled, still smiling.

Colds and Grippe Yield
To Calotabs Overnight

To break up a cold over night or to
cut short an attack Of influenza or
grippe, physicians and druggists are
now recommending Calotabs, the new
nausealess calomel, that is purified
from all dangerous and sickening eff
fects. Those who have tried it say
that it acts like magic, by far more
effective and certain than the old
style calomel, heretofore recommend
ed by all physicians.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with eating,
work or pleasures. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your
whole system feels refreshed and
purified. Calotabs is sold only in
original sealed packages; price thirty
five cents. Recommended and guar
anteed by all druggists. Your money
