to be a series of automobile rides.
Eleven different cars were ridden in
the first day by the mixers before
they stopped at Chambersburg for
the night. They left Chambersburg
about 1915 a. m. after having had a
good nights rest and started on the
road again, but the offers of rides
from the kind hearted passerby proved
too much for the boys and they de-
cided TO finish their trip by automo-

carried them a distance of 1S0 miles,
directly into Pittsburg.
Mr.. Vandever stayed a few days at
Drover Lake and then took the train
