TOURISTS
use SPECIAL CAR
ON LENGTHY TRIP
Stands Up Well De-
spite Vigorous Usage
During Three Years.

A long. gray Hanson car strolled
into Washington few days ago
fresh from the colorful plains of
the Argentine and tropical splendor
of the Amazon Valley and Central
America. Nell wanderwell and her
party OF globe trotters are on their
way to Montreal. Canada.
Since leaving Atlanta. Ga, 1919,
the party has completed l50,s42
miles and have many more miles
ahead of them. Their journey will
not end until 1924. At that time
they hope to have visited every
country In the world
The car has a twenty-five gauge
steel body and is equipped with a
fifty -four-gallon gasoline tank and
extra oil and water tanks~for des-
ert country. They carry an extern
sion for their axles and in coun-
tries where there are no roads they
extend the axle to ht the gauge of
railroad tracks, and In this way are
able to conquer the deep sands of
the Sonora Desert by following the
steel rails.
This Is the first car to return
from Central America on its own
power. this being possible by run
ming on railroad tracks.
On one side of the car hangs
the bones of a Yaqui Indian picked
up from the Sorona Desert in Mex
leo. and at the other side swings a
high powered rifle which they use
for hunting. They also carry a
complete -outft for road building,
which they have used many times"
said Mrs. Wanderwen.
Mrs. Wanderwell Is in an endur-
ance race with her husband. Capt.
Walter Wanderwell. who sailed
from New Orleans on the 5th on the
u. s. steamship MoseIla en- route to
London. She expects to meet him
somewhere in Europe. They are
racing to see which car can visit
the most countries and cover the
most mileage by 1924. Unit No. 1.
which Is in Washington today. has
some miles on unit No. 2. which is
en- route to London.
While in Mexico they met Pancho
Villa. the notorious bandit. He
placed his autograph on the hood
of the car: In fact the car Is COW
cred with autographs from notable
people all over the world and
legends in the languages of all the
lands it has visited.
Included in Mrs wanderwell's
party is Shirley West. mechanic:
Bob Spencer, camera man. aNi Lii
liam Haven, correspondent
After visiting here a few days
the party will continue on to Mon
treal, Canada. where they will ship
to Barcelona. Spain.

NASH MOTOR SALES.
INCREASE IN MONTH.
Reports for May Reveal
Record-Breaking Bust
ness Progress.

Again Nash Motors, in passenger
car production and sales for Nav.
has swept aside all previous rec
ords In the history of the company.
Factory figures show that Nash
built and sold % per cent more pas
senger cars in May than in April.
thus making it by far the greatest
single months sale of cars in the
history of the company. The May
record was an increase of 211 per
cent over the same month a year
ago.
These figures include both six
and four-cylinder cars and are con-
fined only to automobiles actually
built and shipped; a large number
Of orders. untitled because of an
oversold condition. were carried on
into June and were disregarded In
the foregoing figures Every indi-
cation points to a continuance Of
the heavy demand throughout this
month
The demand for Nash cars is
such that the factory probably will
face an over-sold condition for
some time to come" said c. B. Voor-
his. vice president and director of
sales of the Nash Motors Company.
Additions to the Nash Four plant,
which will afford even greater pro-
duction facilities. are to be made
this summer. The effect of this
expansion will not be felt. how
ever. until after the first of the
year. Meanwhile production at
both the Kenosha and Milwaukee
plants is being increased but on a
basis that fully safeguards the
quality of the product.
The excellence of Nash cars is
primarily responsible for the heavy
demand. but the fixed policy of Nash
distributors and dealers in the mat
ter of service also is a big factor
in the building of a business which
in four and one-half years has pro-
duced more than 100000 passenger
automobiles" This record never
has been achieved by any other car
in the Nash price field.

that Washington has long needed
just the thing that the Y. NJ. c. A.

ing to Washington: namely, a
thorough and comprehensive and
understan dable course in automo-

munity and who are not content
merely to know how to guide a
machine through the streets. but
who demand to know what makes
the thing rum" how the various
makes of automobiles are con-
structed. and the best methods of
maintenance and repair. Mr.. Lum
continued:
The gasoline motor is one of the
marvellous developments of the
present age. 1t has taken the
place of the horse and steam en-
CINE to large extent within the
past twenty-five years. The pas
senger car. the truck. the motor
cycle. the tractor, the aeroplane.
the lighting plant and numerous
other mechanical devices are de-
pendent upon it for their motive
power.
During the past five years the
vast number of automobiles which
have been manufactured is almost
beyond the imagination. One per-
son in every fve in many COM
munities now possesses an automo-
bile. 1t is but fair to add. how
ever. that not one in Ave knows
how to take the proper care Of his
machine.
1T is to fill an increasing need
of the community that the Young
Mems Christian Association has
added to its excellent scholastic
