to one side of the road in time TO

so fortunate. In attempting to get
away their car stopped and the Kan
sas car hit them head-on and pushed
them over the bank. The girls stayed
with the car and miraculously es-
capped serious injury The Ford en-
gine hood and windshield were COM

of the pavilion at the top of the Royal
Gorge day or two ago. il was learned
that an average of 40 cars a day, car.

top OF the Gorge has been increasing
during the last week or 10 days. and is
likely to continue for a month ormore.
The rush is largely caused by the
close of the wheat harvest In Okla.

ers OF that section of the country an
opportunity to enjoy motoring trip
TO the Rocky Mountain region.
AS resort for tourists the top of
the Royal Gorge is growing in popu.

Is likely to greatly surpass that OF
any previous summer All of them
declare the scenery to be the mos,

worth while. Some of the visitors
md the scene to be so fascinating
that they camp there day or two.
Many renal mover night to witness
the sunrise, and consider themselves
well repaid. Some of the tourists
have been there many times. and are
frank enough to admit that they dis
cover new marvels on each visit. The
meals and sort orders being served
at the grill at the top OF the Royal
Gorge enable visitors to spend a day
or two there without inconvenience
