BAD ROAD MAY

How bad road may sometimes
prove a good thing is told by a law
yer who suffers a slight impeachment
in speech. Notwithstanding the disa-

ages to make himself understood and
drives home his argument with a
power that wins.
Friends of this lawyer have discov-
cred that when he becomes angry his
mental machinery hits on six cylind-
ers and his tongue fairly spins along
in unison with his thoughts. There
FORE when some important road
proposition is at stake, one way to
insure victory is to make this gentle
man mad and turn him loose.
On one occasion not so very long
ago he was called upon to represent
the road commission of his state in a
legal controversy. The judge re-
quested the attorneys to confine their
summaries Of the evidence to not
more than thirty minutes each if pos
slbie. Our friend with the hating
tongue refused to go ahead until the
judge had agreed to allow him time

ne proceeded and won his case.
This particular story he tells on
himself:
Some time ago I was driving along
bad road in company with farmer.
he asked me if 1 didn't think We
could get along with the roads we
mad rather than put tax burden on
posterlty, and so on and so on--vou

good humor anyhow, and I had got.

has been an extension Of Young Mems

new RECORD
Studebaker Light Six
Hangs Up eros S.
Country Mark

With four records already to its
credit this year, a Studebaker Light
Six hung up fifth recently, when it
ployed it's way from Los Angeles
California, to Phoenix, Arizona in ID
hours, 16 minutes over roads that
were often nothing more than deep
ly-rutted sand trails. Details of this
remarkable performance, in which the
Studebaker lowered the best previous
time over this route by hours. 70
minutes, have just been received by
the Waterville Motor. Co, local distri-
butor of Studebaker cars.
Up to the time the Light Six made
its run, the fastest automobile time
DR. the ~ miles from Los Angeles to
Phoenix was Is hours. A minutes.
The time ordinarily made by tourists
between the two cities is two days.
The railroad time is IA hours ~ min
utes or one hour and four minutes
slower than the time made by the
Light Six.
The Light Six used on the terrific
test over the desert was the same car
tween San Francisco and Los Ange-
les. and which was the first automo-
bile to reach Yosemite National Park
over any one of the three snow COW
cred roads from the coast this year.
The Los Angeles Phoenix dash was
started from the main post office at
Los Angeles at 4 o'clock coast time)
in the morning of March 90, and the
drivers checked in at the Phoenix
post office at 6:16 P. M. (mountain
time) the same day. The car carried
special U. s. mail under authority
from the Postmaster General at
Washington, the run being made to
demonstrate the practicability of
transporting fast mail between the
two cities by automobile. Hart L.
w. Cook and f. White, mechanicians,
composed the crew. but the only job
required of the mechanicians was the
changing of tires several times on the
hot sands of the desert. The intense
heat, bad roads, and the high speed
at which the car travelled caused I'M
usual wear on the tires
After leaving Los Angeles, the first
100 miles included some highway but
the greater part of the more than 400
miles was over the worst kind of des-
ert road that in some places became
just faint outline of a trail. Where
it was hard. the road was deeply rut-

der was rarely in the minds of Our
people. Luxury was unknown and
none was expected, pay was meag.
and the isolation at times became very
irksome, so the Young Mems Chris.
tian Association worker was wei
come companion and his comfort
gratefully received.
"On the border and in Mexico, the
Association realized more than ever
the opportunity to aid in offording the
men of the service clean recreations.
1t provided reading rooms, clubs,
games, lectures, movies, all of which
served to keep him from the tempta.
tons that constantly follow in the wake
of an army, or are found indigenous
to the locality where the soldiers lot
is so frequently cast.
"The extension of Young Mems
Christian Association work in Amer
lea has been very gratifying. There
lies in the heart of everyman desire
to live honorably among ones fellows,
but humanity is not as yet able to rise
much higher than its environment
Where ennobling surroundings are ab-
sent. those of another sort are found
and in spite of the better instincts evil
influences prevail But we must not
forget that the difficulties of reform
are much greater than those of guid-
ance. There are yet some 1000 cities
of over 5000 inhabitants each in our
own country which have not yet been
reached by this Association. When we
look around and see the wreck of ma.
tons, it makes us, or should make us,
stop and consider our own condition,
and believe that there is no other
organization quite so we'll fitted to
meet the need of our young men in
America as the Young Mems Christian
Association.
