which more than 100000 auto

If you are about to take q

on an outfit and how to use it.
First, be sure the car is in
good condition and carry a
shovel, which will prove invalu-
able around camp for leveling a
piece OF ground or for digging a
hole to bury rubbish. And by all
means take along 80 feet Of new
heavy rope for towing purpose.

In your commissary outfit there
is one thing that Ii strictly taboo.
That is, food in paper bags. Try it

get q skillet with a detachable

that 1t fits the bottom Of the pan.
A burner stove of some sort is so
convenient that today it is ranked
as Necessity. When an old.fash.

GENTLY" Fullerton writes, "a very
wealthy man came to a New
York trust company to arrange
a will. He wanted his son to
have a stated allowance until his
twenty-fourth year. and to leave
him absolutely without income
from his twenty fourth to his
thirty.fifth year.
The boy was in college,. the
writer explains, was showing in
clination toward wildness, and the
fathers desire was that he be
compelled to earn his own way,
without any income to fall back
upon, for ten years.
"The experiment seemed to the
bankers to be quite as dangerous
as it was radical" Fullerton con-
tinues. They urged that the
father provide a small income.

AS Bobbie started down the

she saw Lottie Schultz coming
along the street in her small

hand and pulled up in front Of
the house.
A Long Drag
II just left Roy at the studio

as they started off through the

Bobbie looked quickly away
from her. She felt as II Lottie

dead silence.

was almost impossible for her to
talk about Stella and her death.
The horror of it still hung over
her like a cloud.
Lottie Schultz shook her head,
her eyes on the road ahead Of
her.
'tAll these girls who come here!
Why do they do it," she asked,
and went right on as if she didn't
expect an answer. They must
know that there's hardly a chance
that they'll succeed. And surely
Stella must have known it, after
all her years Of trying. Roy says
she's been knocking around the

potatoes and the various varieties
of beans, will now produce normal
