the warnings of "thrillmongers,"

over the famous highway. 1t took
seven days.. she said, to cover the
800 miles in a six-wheeled truck,
driven by one of corps of specially
trained young men.
THE truck drivers are fine young
men from good families outside OF

with patriotic pride, she added, and

posters showing how the road and
its traffic are the blood supply in
the strong right arm of China"
Food along the highway was
plentiful, the naval officers wife
said. Sleeping accommodations were
either on blankets, in truck depots
or in the truck.

markable collection of pictures.

thorities to take it. But those peo-
Pile who are superstitious and do
not like to have their pictures taken
