Ten and a half days from Detroit

record just made by Robert b.

a Studebaker special six, according
to information Just received by M.

The two young men left Detroit
and drove from 10 to Is hours day
where the roads were good and they
report them to average very fair for
the entire trip. They made $50 miles
on the day they rolled into st, Louis
and made their longest stop of 16
hours in Kansas City.
The, last day of the journey was
from Bagdad, some 40 miles beyond
Barstow into Los Angeles between
5 in the morning and in the after
noon. In Missouri they found the
roads to be equivalent to 302 miles of
Hades, as they expressed it, and also
encountered some very rough
stretches in New Mexico, but in
other states. particularly Arizona,

VISIONS Of CAMP

The call of the great outdoors is
becoming more insistent every day.
Do you sit at your desk gazing list

running streams, of a camp in for

the call of the open.
There is splendor' and wonder in
the wilds that await you. The camp

mountains or in the stately forest.
There is nothing to compare with
such a life. AT night the CHEEKY

Then that wondqful morning to
which you awaken the crisp noun

are suddenly seized with an appe

you years ago.
Then comes the odor of breakfast
cooking-of bacon-that crisp brown
bacon sizzling over the camp stove,
and that Gee! but it's great TO be
alive!" feeling comes over you as
you sit down to such a breakfast as
was never before prepared by even
the highest paid chef.
More people than ever are now
able to enjoy these wonderful outings

be utilized to the best advantage. |
Many articles are built in combina- |

BUICK SH|NS UP
PEAK M|NUS.|TS
NE THEIR SPRINGS

I'VE have not met many motorists
who would care to drive around with
the springs under the rear of the
car taken out" declares Larry Quin-
Ian, manager of Babbitt Brothers,
but Buick Four has just negotiated
Mount Wilson, near Pasadena. Cali
fornia, with the frame resting on the
rear axle.
Quinlan asserts that records may
come and records may go, but the
Buick still basks in the limelight.
Temporarily the six-cylinder model
has stopped garnering laurels to per
nit the four cylinder variety to add
to the luster of the Buick escutcheon.
This was a stunt in which both
or the rear springs of four cylin-
der car were removed and the ma
chine driven from the Mt. Wilson
toll house to the summit. The car
was driven by George Stanley, chief
of the Buick demonstration depart
ment, and done to convince a pros
pect that the rear springs on the
four, just as on the six-cylinder car,
serve. no other purpose than to make
1t comfortable for the passengers.

in the rear until the tires almost
touched the tenders, and the frame
rested on the axle housing. Stanley
drove the car and its occupants,
photographer and a couple of news
paper men. over the boulevards to
Pasadena and to the toll house at the
foot of Mt. Wilson and none of them
made any complaints about the cars
riding qualities even with the springs
out. Save for a bump or two crossed
by the car when the frame would
bounce an inch or two off the hous-
ing it would have been impossible TO
tell that the car was springless.
Stanley drove the car up and then
turned around and came down again
without giving any of the passengers
any qualms as to their safety on the
steep decline and around the numer-
Gus hairpin turns. The car ham
died perfectly and at the low-ge
sign on the ascent Stanley kept
ahead in second gear and the four
cylinder pulled right along without
quiver.
THE springs were strapped to the
side of the car, and passing motorists
got quite a laugh out of the odd
occurrence al they noticed the hung
low in the rear Buick rolling out to
Pasadena and then back to Los An
geles."

GIVE ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM DOUBLE D
BEFORE TOURING

Before you get too far into the Job
of looking up maps, picking out ho-
tells and deciding which points of in
terest to visit, it might Be well to take
few minutes to look over the cleo
trical system of your car, and assure
yourself that everything is ship shape
and ready to do its part toward
making your tour success.
Loose connections may mean that
the battery does not receive the prop
er supply of current from the gen.
orator. or that it is not able to de-
liver it properly when wanted. Nuts
and screws that hold the connections
in place should be clean and should
be screwed tight, so that there is no
possibility of their working loose
either through jarring of the car on
the road or the swaying of the wires
themselves.
Begin with the battery and follow
each one of the cables through the
switches, assuring yourself of every
connection as you go along. II this job
is done thoroughly you will have no
reason to worry about loose connec-
tions. At the same time make sure
that there are no short circuits caused
by the shearing through of insulation
or by the bits of wire that sometimes
drop in where they do not belong.
So much for the wiring. but at the
same time it is a good thing to have
the starting, lighting and ignition
units and the storage battery looked
at by the service stations specializing
in these parts. No matter where you
may live it is possible to find con-
tion which will test the solution in
your battery and will at the same
time notify you of any unsatisfactory
condition that may exist.

AMERICAN TREES IN GREECE
Athens Expected to Influence the Annual Rainfall.

Mrs. P. Martineau, the expert on Horticulture and tree planting, has just returned to England from visit to Athens, where she has been advising the king and queen of the Hellenes in the culture and laying out of gardens She has spent good deal of time in California and has found that the ughtresisting trees and flowers of that country are particularly suited to Greek soil.
 The queen has formed a small socf- ety among her friends with the object of furthering tree planting in the coun- try. All the streets of Athens have been planted with pepper trees, the light green foliage of which, with clus- ters of berries, Is very effective The pepper tree. an evergreen, is a native of California. Another tree seen there Is the maritime pine, with which the queen hopes to clothe the hills of Greece as far as possible. Some of the small hills surrounding Athens are already covered with this drought-re- sisting tree, which is particularly suited to a soil which is practically lime and dust. The maritime pine grows very quickly, and Mrs. Martineau thinks that the covering of the hills around Athens may have the effect of bringing more rain.

Incident Boys Will Long Remember.

Trapped in the center of railway bridge spanning Tessopeck creek Pa, two boys, each aged twelve years, mlraculously escaped death when they laid down between the rails and took chances with limited train on the third rail system of the Wilkes Barre and Hazleton railway passing over them. They won, for the train went over them in safety and the boys were unhurt The train came upon them so suddenly and either end of the bridge was so far away that to attempt escape by running would have meant death. TO have jumped thirty feet into the creek would have been equally perilous. The engineer saw the boys and sig naled to them to lie down between the rails. The boys cuddled as close as they could to the ties. turning their heads sideways shut their eyes and prayed.
