to protect his throat,
smokes Luckies
"The voice is essential to stage work and its care one of the
actor's greatest worries. During the course of some of my
stage appearances, I am called upon at intervals to smoke
a cigarette and naturally 1 have to be careful about my
choice. I smoke Lucky Strikes and have yet to feel the
slightest effect upon my throat. 1 understand that toast'

The first transcontinental trip
across Mexico by automobile was
recen tly ncrom pi is bed in t wo
American built motors a Dodge
cabriolet roadster and a Dodge
touring car. The road, a large part
of the. way, led over rough trails
which make no pretense of being
roaus. i-iespue uicse tiuncult con
ditions the two Dodge cars trav
eled from Acapulco. on the Pacific
coast, to Vera Cruz, on the Atlan
tic, driving from sea level to about
6,000 feet in the mountains, and
down to sea level again, all In 82
hours. The motors were not
stopped in the entire trip which
was designed as an endurance
test rather than a speed trial.
Mexicans throughout the country
were interested in he event which,
because or us otiicia recognition,
became national. Crowds In all
cities and towns on the route
turned out in large numbers to
greet the automobile party which
was heralded as a trail blazer over
what, all Mexicans hope, will be a
national trans-continental highway
in tho near future.
Interest in this trans-Mexico
trip was heightened by tho fact
that tho cars were not especially
designed and built for the ordeal,
but were two standard four cylin
der cars taken from tho floor of
Cia Unida'de Ventas, S. A., dealer
in Mexico City for Dodge Brothers,
Inc.
Great Public Interest
So great was the Interest taken
by the citizens of Acapulco in this
trans-continental trip, that they
sent tho Miiclpal Treasurer
along with the party as a personal
representative of the Mayor. It
was hoped that this trip would
stimulate federal action imme
diately in completing the highway
from Puebla through to Vera Cruz,
thus IlnkTng Acapulco, on tho Pa
cific, with Vora Cruz, on tho At
lantic. The opening of the Acnpul-co-Mexico
City highway created a
widespread enthusiasm for tour
ing and every automobile owner in
Mexico is making plans to visit
Acatyilco sooner or later.
- i iiu expeoiuuii was cumiucieu
by four sulesnien and a mechanic
from the staff of the Mexico City
Dodge mothers dealer. Iho per
sonnel of tho party consisted of
Mr. Juan Manuel Salcedo, Jose E.
Moran, Salvador-Diaz and Vin-
cente J. Sanchez, Mr. Jose Bravo
being the mechanic.
Take Pacific's Water to Gulf
Willi the bottles filled with
water from the Pacific ocean and
carefully tucked away under the
peat, the expedition left Acapulco
on tho 14th of November at mid
night and reached Iguaia Iho .fol
lowing day at D:20 in tho morning.
Tho reception, accorded tho party
at Iguaia has no parallel in the
history of that town. The local
authorities, as well as most of the
prominent business men in town,
traveled on .graham Brothers
trucks, furnished by the Dodge
Brothers dealer at Iguaia, about
20 kilometers out of town In or
der to meet the expedition and
escort It to the city. The two
bodge cars and their escort: Troiii
Iguaia parked in front of the Mu
nicipal Palace surrounded by
cheering throngs.
The boys spent two hours in
Iguaia and then resumed their
journey to Mexico City where
they arrived at fi:4a o ciock me
same evening. During the time
spent in Iguaia the motors were
left running so that the value of
the trip as an endurance run
ould not be impaired.
From San Marcos, between
Pnobln and Jnlnpa, on to the At
lantic coast, there nre practically
no ronds. A Dodge dealer, familiar
with the roads from San Marcos
to Jalapa, joined the party at San
Mnrcos and acted as guide. an
the aid of the guide the boys ar
rived at Jalapa the night of No
vember Kith nt 8:10.
Cars Are Mired
A very heavy storm was report
ed raging nil along the Gulf Coast,
but in spite of these adverse re
ports, that the roads from Jalapa
to Vera Cruz were impassable, the
boys did not hesitate and with tho
recklessness of youth they started
for Vera Cruz at 11:25 p. m.
At one point the cars became
mired in a long tract of marshy
land nnd for a time it appeared as
though the trip would be a failure.
After several hours, however, the
trip was resumed. For more than
15 hours the party struggled
through the worst imaginable road
conditions nnd in a furious tropi
cal storm. The cars arrived at
Vera Crut November 17th nt 5:45
p. m.
On tho outskirts of tho Port of
Vera Cruz the party was met by
a long caravan of automobiles
carrying the local authorities and
prominent business men. The two
mud splashed Dodge cars were
cheered with wild enthusiasm as
the caravan drove into Vera Cruz.;
The Mayor complimented the
party and presented a message of
good will to the Mayor of Ampul-j
co. The hiembers of the party re-i
turned the compliment and pre-;
sented the city's chief executive!
with two bottles containing water j
from the Pacific ocean. The con-j
tents of these two bottles was;
noured by the Mayor into the flulf
of Mexico while the people cheered i
and the military band played patri
otic tunes. Several bottles were'.
ceremoniously filled with water
from the Gulf of Mexico to be
tnken to Acapulco. The mayor of
Vera Crux designated Senior Ion
Pere to join the party as his per
sonal representative.
The representatives of the may
or of Vera Cnit and Acapulco. as
well as the other members of the
party were received bv President
Cnlles secretary. Mr. Torreblanca.
With another ceremony, the bot
tles, containing water from the
Pacific Ocean and from the Gulf

of Mexico, were presented to the
president 8 secretary.
Send Road Petitions to Calles
A hearty welcome by the Rotary
Club and leading citizens of Ori
zaba fully repaid the party for the
difficulties of the trip. The citi
zens of the town entrusted the ex
pedition with long petitions to
President Calles in which they re
quested his cooperation to build a
road from Mexico City io Vera
Cruz. This road will pass through
one of the richest agricultural and
industrial regions of the country.
These valuable petitions were de
livered ' to President Calles
through his private secretary, Mr.
Torreblanca.
"Eighty-two hours of uninter
rupted, perfect performance over
all kinds of roads, is the record
established by these two ' Dodge
Brothers cars," said one member
of the party. "We did not attempt
to establish a speed record but an
endurance dependability test. The
trip acquired national significance,
inasmuch ns It contributed to dis
pell the pessimism which had pre
vailed due to the political uneasi
ness. '
"Not once, since the cars left
Acapulco nnd arrived in Mexico
City on their roturn trip from Vern
Cruz, where their hoods lifted fo
any adjustments, notwithstanding
their traveling from sea level up
to elevations of almost fi ono foot
and down again to sea level."
The newspapers throughout the
republic announced with big head
lines and lentrthy stories the de
parture of the exped'tlon f'-om
Acapulco. Profuse illustrations
showing all of the ceremonies of
the departure, and, from time to
time, the various receptions held
on route to Vera Cruz, ns well ns
full pictorial descriptions of the
expedition's arrival at Mexico
City, created immense popular in
terest. The two leading nnpor nf Mexi
co Citv carried daily bulletins giv
ing progress reports of the expedi
tion.
Followed Old Road
The route of this trans-Mexico
endurance test Is as old as civil!
zatlou on the North American
Continent. The Port of Acapulco Is
the second lnn:et port in the
world. Its enormous hay Is sur
rounded bv mountains which lend
an unusual picturesqueness to the
panorama. The waters of this bay
which is one of nature's 'wonders,
nre 40 meters deep, near the
wharf, thus permitting the largest
vessels to anchor right in front of
the port.
When the Vnited States wni
still an English colony, the Port of
Acapulco was' considered Ameri
ca's leading roH. Vessels from the
Orient with their cargoes of beau
tlful silks and rare embroideries
reached this shore at this nnint. A
Inrge -fair, which had no rival any
where in the world, was then held
nt Acapulco ami the rich cargoes
were sold to the leading merchants
of Europe and America.
