; " Motorists tnay pause at some of the
transcontinental mountain grades, but
there has been no stalling of the Car
lsons. They have carried along extra
"V whetels, like so many tires, and when
! their aid wheels became worn ouT,
they simply replaced them and wen
on. They have worn regulation rollee

Yand it's not easy. It's all right on

PURSE IS PROMISED
The Philadelphia Roller Skating club
f which they are both honorary mem

providing they can prove that they
never rode and made the entire dis
tance on ska,tes. Carson already, claims
the distinction of, being the" world's
Champion roller skaier.
- They have earned their expenses all
the-way.aeross the country by staging
i fancy skating stunts- when possible,
and at other times turning their hand
to any kind of legitimate employment
that would -bring them returns.
