what direction he goes away from
home.
The average automobile tourist
actually has no idea whatever Of the
distance he must traverse to go from
one place to another, no least notion
Of what he undertakes when he starts
for Denver or Los Angeles or San
Francisco. Unfortunately, wonder
lands Of the country are shaded by the
efforts of some people to belittle what,
for example, Utah or Idaho or New
Mexico have to display. The war of
automobile trails bids fair to hide the
genuine glories of the vast national
domain.
The automobile speed record from
coast to coast is approximately five
days. Judging from this enormously
difficult accomplishment tourists figure
on jaunt from New York to San
Francisco in 20 days or SO. This
time demands nearly 200 miles day
of travel. The fact of the matter is,
any one undertaking to drive from the
Atlantic to the Pacific in 80 DAYS has
thrown the scenery of the journey
away for the questionable privilege OF
watching the ruts and chucks.
It takes strong man to hold a
wheel from New York to San Fran
cisco in 30 days steadily with 15
miles day average; II there are any

ARBUCKLE MAY NOT
GO ON STAND AGAIN

SAN FRANCICO. Jan. 25 Omitted
Press) A speedy conclusion OF the
case OF Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle is
looked for with the announcement
that Arbuckle's attorneys have de-
cided not to put him on the stand in
his own defense.
The prosecution admittedly OBJ
tanned permission TO read Arbuckle's
testimony at the first trial in order
TO reduce the effect that his manner
OF testimony might have on the jury
should he take the stand
incidentally the reading gives As
sistant District Attorney a chance to
place his own emphasis on various
portions OF the testimony favorable
TO the State and unfavorable to Ar
buckle.
Gavin McNab. Arbuckle's chief
counsel. however, refused definitely
to announce that the comedian
would not take the stand. A definite
decision will probably be made to-
day at a conference among the at
