Clark and Smith First to Enter Big
Bear Valley in 1922.

Angeles. Calf, have recently re-
turned to the city, after completing
one of the most hazardous and re-
markable exploits ever attempted by
local motor cycle riders. They left
the city on New Year eve with the
intention of reaching the most ex-
treme point in Big Bear valley and
of being the first motor vehicle to
attain this distinction in the new year.
They encountered much snow and
rain and cold. Word was expected
from them within two days after their
departure, but none was received four
days after, and much alarm was felt
by many interested in this city for
their safety. This is the fourth year
Clark has attempted the feat and he
is being congratulated by the local
cycle fraternity on finally attaining
his objective.

A Motor Cycle Missionary in China

Elmer S. Sawtelle Of Hartley, q
suburb of Cincinnati, and who has
long been an enthusiastic motor cycle
rider. several years ago presented
motor cycle to his friend. Paul P.
Want. who was just then leaving for
missionary work in China. Mr.. Want
accepted it and took it with him to
Foochow, China. Mr.. Sawtelle has
just had letter from him renewing
his thanks for the machine and tell
ing how invaluable it has been in his
work. Although Foochow has over
million inhabitants. Mr.. Wants
motor cycle is the only one that has
; ever been seen there. On the first
trip the wheel appeared as an ap-
partition to some of the astonished
Chinese, one woman being so fright
ened as to run straight into it's path
and was struck, though without in
| jury. Having since witnessed many
times the operation. of the machine
and being particularly impressed with
it's speed and general utility. there is
widespread interest as to where they
can be bought and for what price.
Mr.. Want writes that an arrange
ment to reach China with a motor
cycle agency would result in a great
many sales in practically all the
larger cities.

Doing It With q Motor Cycle.

tatoes owned by a Washington state
rancher were in danger of destruction
by the potato bug. The little pests
were working SO fast that 1t did not
seem as though any means of ex-
termination could keep up with them.
But the rancher was a resourceful
soul and he attached an insecticide-
spraying outfit tc the sidecar chassis
of his motor cycle, utilizing the power
of the machine for traction and for
spraying. With this outfit he found
it possible to spray 100 acres per day
with paris green, whereas a horse
drawn sprayer would not have been able
to get above thirty-f1ve acres. With
the exceedingly hot. dry weather that
was so general during the past summer
a days delay might well have spelled
ruin of the crop. but the smotor cycle
saved the situation.

 Couldn't Be stopped
 I. J. Gke) Osbun and Bob Brooke. two of Birmingham good men golf CTS, wanted to play a round of the royal and ancient game yesterday, but anticipated difficulty in secur- ing permission of Country club tour nament officials to start their match, as the course belongs to women until the tournament is com pleted. That fact didn't stop them. however. for both dressed up bor- rowed finery. and appeared on No. tee as pretty a pair of fair golfers as one could wish to see. Both were smoking cigarettes, however, and it did not take the gallery long to realize that they handled their "smokes" too well for women, mod ern as the times are, and their ruse was discovered. Charlie Hall, starter, didn't have the heart to stop them, however. and Ike Osbun and Bob Brooke teed off with Mrs. Nor burn Cooke and Mrs. James Mason in a foursome. Osbun looked the part of fair young golfer yester- day but his 225-yard drive from No 1, with just the right amount of slice on it would have given him away If nothing else.
 This pair of funmakers furnished amusement for the gallery through out the afternoon, as the swinging stride of Ike Osbun and the tall fig
