they hastily scooped out pit, in which
they placed the children. Then they
covered them with wet earth, leaving
only their heads exposed.
The heat, however, was so intense that
the children could hardly endure it. So,
for the rest of the day, the two parents
stood there and poured the warm water
from the creek over the heads of their
children.
1t isn't often that such tale of hand

sounds like something that came down

records of frontier communities.
Yet it happened in this year of 1881,
within a comparatively few miles OF the
great cities Of the Pacific northwest
The frontier has vanished; but here

the stern tests of the old days. And when
they do they are able to face them with

tSpeciaD Driving a new floating

famous cross-country driver. COM
pleted the fastest round trip ever
made on land from this city to New
York and return when he arrived at
Oakland Ferry at 500 p. m. August
%. The total elapsed time OF this
Plymouth for the round trip of
6237 miles was 1872 hours minutes,
which is at the rate of 4752 miles
per hour, thus breaking the previous
record of 167 hours SO minutes also
made by Miller with a Chrysler I'M
perial 80" in 1926 by 35 hours so
minutes.
The Plymouth with Miller at the
wheel, was checked out at the Oak
land Ferry by the Western Union,
whose representatives, by prear-
irangement acted as time observers
at every control point along the
route where stops were made to
take on gas, oil and supplies. A
terrific pace of 54.6 miles per hour
was maintained all the way to
Salt Lake City, a distance OF 833
miles. The long, hard pull over the
Rockies east of Salt Lake and the
detours caused by many miles OF
road construction through Nevada,
cut the average speed down to 48.l
miles per hour at Aurora, Ill. 1852
miles from the starting point. AT
the turning point in New York, the
average for the trip east was 47.9
miles per hour for a distance Of
3143 miles and total elapsed
time of So hours 33 minutes.
A short stop of l hour II minutes
was made in New York for supplies,
pictures, a brief reception by Ply
mouth and Chrysler Motors Off
cials and for new relief driver to
accompany Miller back west, the
eastbound driver taking a plane to
North Platte, Neb., where he again
Joined the car for the balance Of
the return trip. Total elapsed time
for the westbound trip was 65 hours
"a minutes. From Chicago Heights
to North Platte, Neb., distance OF
804 miles, Miller averaged 81 miles
per hour.
A comparison of this record trip
with fast railroad runs between
the two cities is all in favor of the
Plymouth. The fastest time OF a
railroad train from San Francisco
to New York is several hours SLOW
er than this record breaking cross
ing of the Plymouth. E. II. Harri-
man, builder of the Union Pacific,
once crossed the country by special
train at an average of 46 miles an
hour and in 1924 train ran over
the Santa Fe and New York Gen.
tral from Los Angeles to New York
in 90 hours and minutes.
The Overland Limited running

union OF the 3l4th Infantry here
September "a will be a battlescarred
veteran named Pat, a war dog
who wears both chevrons and
wounds as marks OF his World
War service.
Pat, official mascot Of the regi-

originally a pet Of one of-the Kai-
Ser's battaions, according to his
history. Company NJ of the 314th
acquired him the day after the
Armistice when they found him in
a dugout near Virton, Belgium.
He had been wounded in the hip
and was adopted and nursed back
to health and strength.
When orders came to embark for
the United States. officers ordered
the dog left behind However, he
was smuggled aboard and kept un-
der cover until the company
/ reached home
That was IS years ago and every
/ year since the dog has been hon
ored by the regiment at its reun-
ions. He is provided with a special
harness. blanket. wound stripes and
cheYrons emblematic of his services.
Pat won't attend many more re-
unions, for age is taking its toll
He has lost his sight and doesn't

the Bad Chap was ready for it.
When Uncle Wiggily reached his
bungalow and saw the rain coming
down. he thanked Nurse Jane foi

dry. And Mr.. Longears said.

Uncle Wiggily had done this he sat
in the bungalow to read the paper
But the Fox grew tired Of being

cried:

Uncle Wiggily was very much sur

the trunk. But before opening ii
the rabbit gentleman telepEoned for

THE trying times of the frontier are a
long way removed from most Ameri-
cans. Nevertheless, there are still times
when sudden emergencies compel people
to display all the courage and hardihood
of the pioneers.
A forest fire recently swept through
the Priest river valley, in Washington.
Out of it, afterward, came news of the
remarkable way in which Mr. and Mrs
r. S. DAILY, who lived on a ranch in the
path of the fire saved the lives Of their
three children
Daily had been out in the forest with
other men trying to check the flames.
Unable to do so, the men retreated to the
ranch. There the fire surrounded them-
and the ranch buildings caught fire.

ly place of refuge was small creek that
ran hundred yards or SO from the
house. So close were the flames that
the water in this stream was warm to the
