 Beyond that We hit one stretch of seven miles where the mud was so deep that the car which was going through m front of us with four chains on it left no impress whatever In other words. 1t was just sea of clay and water
 The Apperson walked through it as though it were running over boulevard, almost On several occasions I had to set my brakes, yet I never had to skid. Through it all 1 very seldom had to put the car in second, and never had to put it in low.
 You hear of flexibility on the city boulevards, where you slow your car down to four miles an hour and go ahead in high, but the joy of this ride to me was the fact that sometimes we were going as slow as five miles an hour. at other times we were running along at g or A miles an hour and yet 1t was all done in high.
 we passed car after car that was stalled. We passed three of them that had slipped off the side of the road into the ditch, but the Apperson tourster just kind of laughed-if car can laueh-at the kind of going we encountered
 T want to compliment you gentlemen on turning out what in my mind, is the best car I have ever driven or ridden in, a car with power for any going with balance that made riding through this mud and rough stuff pleasure, and with

car. Imagine how long the locomotive would stand up travelling through deep sand, rough and rutty roads and gravel turnpikes that are full of hidden boul- ders. Still this is precisely the kind of roads that the motor car must go through day after day
 Now the law of mechanics from which the basis of all loeomotion is figured teaches us that it is a difficult thing to keep high-speed motor running on a solid foundation--a still more difficult thing to keep it running right on a foun- dation moving in one direction on a level path and vastly more difficult propo- sition to keep motor running on little or no foundation at all, and continually moving not only forward, but sidewise and up and down
 1t is really q mystery of the age that the motor car power plants have stood this hammering day after day as well as they have. when he consider that the en- zine must resist this wrenching the bearings must absorb these shocks with out crampng and the bolts and nuts must endure these strains
 The American automotive engineers have given great deal of thought and study to the springs as a protector to the power plant, and the Paige engi- neers, alert to every engineering prac- ttce that makes for longer life in motor cars, have, after many rigid tests. adopt ed the cantlever type springs and care fully proportioned them to keep them

 I never realized fully how fine car l had or hC-T good a car an Apperson really is until my recent drive-away in my new job from Kokomo to Detroit
 We left kokorno, as you may know, on Thursday afternoon. rather late, in my new Apperson anniversary tourster, and just lazied along until we got to Fort Wayne. where we stayed over night.
 Tn the morning when we awoke we discovered that it had been pouring all night long. l am frank to admit that 1t was with considers ble trepidation that we started across Indiana and Ohio knowing as we did the conditions of the roads As you probably know, many of the Indiana and most of the Ohio roads that we cover are very fair going during fair weather. but after a heavy down. pour they are combination of ordinary country mud and clay that in many places develop into quagmires.

PATERSON CARS ARE MASTERS OF ROADS A Letter That Tells a Real Story of Apperson
 Performance

There are records without number ot the performance of Apperson cars under most adverse conditions. In many cases While proving the wonderful power and value of an Apperson car, yet the condi- tlons encountered were the unusual ones
 It is the every day driving across coun- try, touring, that anyone is liable to en- counter that proves the real value of any car
 For that reason the experience of a De .u Apperson driver in a long pull. tiNough driving rainstorm, in deep mud anu in many cases a quagmire, will prove lreal index to real Apperson. value.

 ID THE POWER PLANT
Due to Many Jars and Thrusts, Must Perform
 Important Function

Springs are great deal more impor- tant to the motor than to the giant loco motive, says Lawrence Pennington of motor car the springs must afford some thing else besides riding comfort-they must protect the power plant from the continuous bouncing over ruts and bad roads that lifts the wheels from the ground and brings them down with a smashing crash.
 The locomotive does not have to run over these roads. It has solid smooth ly polished rail on which to travel. Yet even with it's truck springs, driving. springs and equalizing beams, the loco- motive does not last so long as the motor

Bear That Played Submarine

Writing in Harper'S, StefanSson, the arctic explorer. tells of bear hunting in the arctic and of the curious tactics of one polar bear killed for his meat.
 By midnight the lead to the east of was already covered with two or three inches of young ice and the seals had ceased coming up near us and could now be seen only at 8 distance in the thinner patches of ice far out in the lead. l was watching them, nevertheless though they were too far away to be killed, when all of a sudden, half mile away, I saw the head and shoulders of bear come up through the fragile ice He rested moment. and my gla sses showed me he was breathing deeply After a few good breaths he disappeared and for two or three minutes there was no sign of him, and then, 100 yards or so nearer. the ice was broken and his head and shoulders again appeared Evident ly, seeing the ice was not strong enough for him to walk on, he was navigating standardization, swimming 10 yards or so under the ice and coming up when necessary to breathe. I had never heard, either from Eskimos or from books of this method of locomotion, and knowing that Storkensen and Ole would be inter- ested l called them, and together we watched the bear as he approached our

We killed him when he was in a suitable position for slSinning.
 tDuring the next few days other bears came in such rapid succession that it was not necessary for us to kill any more seals It was not that we preferred bear meat to seal, but rather the contrary Both are good eating far as taste is concerned, but bear meat is stringy, and the fbers of 1t get between your teeth and make your gums sore, which is not true of any other wild meat known to me.
