Motor Cars Cross Sahara

Five motor cars. all equipped with
special endless tread drives of rub
Der to pillow through the deep sand,
and some mounted with machine guns
20 repel anticipated attacks from
desert robber bands, recently COM
nleted journey across the Sahara
Desert of approximately 1000 miles,
from Tuggurt, in Algeria, to Timbuk-
tn, In French West Africa.
The caravan left Tuggurt on De-
cember IS, last year, but first, in or
der to insure proper supply of fuel,
water. and food. other cars were sent
ahead as far as Insala to establish
depots. while similar outfit left Da-
kar in the south and approached
north to a military station at Kidal.
The expedition proper then set forth,
arriving at Timbuktu on January Z,
Just 20 days later, the time being sew
eral months faster than average
camel time for the same distance.
The cars had, in addition to the
endless tread arrangement, a plat
form at the back for holding two gas
oline storage tanks. These tanks each
had capacity of 35 gallons. Water
tanks containing 10 gallons, and
ton. food, tools, and other necessities,
were also carried. A tent for each
car. and a motion picture camera
outfit completed the equipment. The
drive itself consisted of two wheels.
several feet apart around which was
stretched the rubber belt, with small
er intermediate wheels between the
two helping to distribute the load.
While no part of the journey could
be considered devoid of hardship, it
was from the Ahaggar Mountains to
Tit and Kidal that travel was espec-
tally difficult. The region is practic-
ally unknown, and the route had to be
determined by compass.
One of the principal reasons for the
trip was to determine whether or not
the cars would be practicable for des-
ert travel, though data of a scientific
nature were also collected-By
Cleveland Gaines in Popular Me-
chanics.

p. u. Decision in
B. & A. Accident at
RridgeWater Sept. 10

The Public Utilities Commission
handed down n decision Thursday in
the Bangor G. Aroostook Railroad
company accident at Bridgewater,
Sept. 10 last resulting in the death
of George McNinch. The decision
Says in part:
1T appears that Mr.. McNinch
was somewhat mentally defective.
He was living in house quite near
the track, and frequently he had
been seen in the railroad yard and
walking upon or near the railroad
track. He was accustomed to be
around there a great deal of the
time, pulling grass which he called
pigweed. Witnesses stated that he
had been warned against this prac-
tice. Evidence shows that the train
was moving quite slowly at the time
the accident occurred, and that the
engine bell was ringing.
80 far as appears, the accident
resulted from the fact that this man.,
who. according to the testimony, was
not in full possession of his mental
faculties, was trespassing upon the
railroad property

Aged Bethlehem Woman, Broken in

81 had been failing in health the
past few years." writes Mrs. L. M.
Meyer, seventy-six years of age, 1872
Wall ST., Bethlehem, Pa. II had al
ways been strong and hard worker,
but the death Of my husband and other
worries led to general breakdown.
"My stomach failed me and began
to be in great distress. I had gas and
bloating, had no appetite and lost all
my strength and ambition. I couldn't
sleep nights. I often had to get up
and 60 down stairs and sit in a chair
for hours alone during the night.
"My brother saw the Paw Paw
Demonstration in Bethlehem and
brought me bottle of the Tonic.
! took it and in three days I began to
feel better and ! knew that the Tonic
was going to help me. Now, after
three weeks, ! feel fine and can't saw

This wonderful Tonic, which did
Mrs. Meyer so much good, has been
a blessing to hundreds of thousands

San Diego Zoo Has Concrete Lion
Grotto

San Diego Zoo Has Concrete Lion
Grotto
San Diego, California, has planned
a geological garden containing a
concrete lion grotto that is a distinct
departure from the ordinary barred
cages OF the average zoo. Prince Leo,
the King of Beasts. is apparently left
out i'll the open, but in reality he is
safely confined from any inclnations
ne might have of mingling directly
with the crowds of visitors. A writer
IN Concrete of Detroit gives an inter-
esting description Of the grotto.
The lion grotto is of special in
terest because of it's magnitude and
more particularly because Of its wide
departure from the orthodox methods
OF lion housing" says the article ITO
all appearances the three magnificent
lions in the San Diego collection
wander at will over a terraced hill
side with only a three-foot hedge of
cactus to restrain them from joining
the audience. In reality. concealed by
the cactus hedge, wide moat, 20
feet in depth, affords a factor of
safety 40 percent in excess Of actual
need. This method Of safely present.
ing to the public the wonder and
charm of the king of beasts is UNIQUE
both from the standpoint of the clear
uninterrupted view of the animals
and the freedom of living of the ami
mails themselves. Here there is no
small and confined cage. which invar-
tably challenges sympathy for the
beast. nor are there the usual many
iron bars to interrupt the view Of the
spectator. There is no point in the
grotto where it would not require
l6-foot leap for a lion to escape. and
the top of the walls is built with an
interior overhang of Is to 20 inches
as an added factor of safety.
THE ground covered by the grotto
is 60 by 60 feet in extent. The rear
quarter is covered. converting this
section into hillside cavern where
the animals seek shelter from rain
At the back of the cavern are the
sleeping quarters, in which the lions
may be closed in case of need. Doors
provide access for the keepers. and
the convenience and safety of the at
tendants has been well provided for.
"The San Diego Geological Society,
under whose auspices the grotto was
built. specified the use Of reinforced
concrete and concrete block. Steel
rails We're used for reinforcing. The
walls of the structure are concrete
block"
