Pollyanna,; in everyday terms. Is a "flivver," but to Miss Scherer she has become, alrnost human in her companionship. Pollyanna " was christened ry Mrs. Charles Strauss two . years ago in her Infancy, and the wife of the municipal engineering expert, who is at the Mult-. - nomah With her husband : and daughter, was amazed when I Miss Scherer . ar rived with Pollyanna as fresh as on the day of her purchase. Miss Scherer has motored over nearly .. every ., foot of California. She started once to Boston but the thought of cross ing the desert alone caused her to turn back. "But there: is no reason why I should not have done It." she adds. It was while jauntim? Irom Sacramento and Lake Tahoe back to San Francisco that Miss Scherer saw the sign that caused her to turn northward. . "What do- I want to go back to San Francisco for anyway? she asked herself, and re ceiving no logical ; reply, immediately started r Portland ward. ... She nearly al ways travels alone. , : j HOME IJT HER CAR . , -"It is so hard to find a pal who is willing to rough V she said. "I blew tn here dressed in khaki and dirty from head' to toe. , 1. unually stop at hotels about every two' nights and have a hot bath and I often, stop and bathe in some river that 1 paA,-Pol!yanna has never; , been - washed but -twice since I adopted' her. Pown tn.

"I pay my taxes in Chicago but my home is In my ear." she says. "When I leave here I am going to Seattle and Vancouver. I am thinking of shipping Pollyanna to Honolulu and riding , over the island. I would like to drive around the world. I have been around the world once, but never with Pollyanna." StSPICIONS AROUSED "When Miss; Scherer- took in the Co lumbia river : highway ' she . says she looked so disreputable tn her outer cloth ing and the little car to which was still dinging California mud and on which was strapped her camping. outfit, that wheh she stopped at an inn for dinner, the proprietor looked at her askance. - We do not serve any meals here for less than 92," she said acidly. "Well." replied the nomad. "I ; can easily afford to pay f 5 for v a meal if I care to, but I want nothing but some ham and eggs." . The proprietor decided she could pre- pare her some in a half hour, but "never mind,. replied . Miss Scherer. "I think I shall Journey on somewhere where it won't take so long to prepare It." fl thert went to a place where it said We serve with a smile " said Miss - Scherer, "and . they did.
