the rirs automobile to reach Vi
setnit National park over any one
of the three Fnotvooverd roads
from the coast this year.
The Los Angeles-Phoenix d.aii
was started from the main pos
otfiee at Los Angela at 4 o'cIock
(coast time) In the morninj? oi
March 23. and the drivers rb-ekf.l
In at the Phoenix postotrioe at
6:1C p. m. (mountain (imot, th-
same day. The car carried Unit
ed States mail under authority
from the postmaster general at
Washington, the run being mad')
to demonstrate the practicability
of transporting fast mail between
the two cities by auomobile. Hart
L. Weaver and Billy Kern, driver
and W. Cook and E. White, me
cahniclang. composed the crew,
but the only job required or trie
mechanicians was the changing of
tires several times on th hot
sands of the desert. The intense
heat, bad roads, and the hig.l
peed at which the car trave'ed
caused nnusual wear on the tire?.
Dim Trail Is Road
After leaving Los Angeles, the
first 100 miles included some
highway but the greater part of
the more than 400 miles was ovr
the worst kind of desert road that
in some places became Just a
faint outline of a trail. Where it
was hard. the road was peepiy
sutted and in the soft placesw?3
covered with loose and dangerous
sand. i : ; '
The route taken was via Po
mono, Colton. Beaumont. Mecca.
Blythe, Ehrenberg, Vicksburg and
Buckeye. Over the majority oi

rut-s and chuckholes. According

Dad Now. Agrees That
Cycling is Great Game
Time was when motorcycling'
ss ,a healthful and safe port was
frowned upon by parents at large !
and the young man as a result;
had a hard time trying to gratify j
his desfre for a motorcycl?. In;
occasional instances the boy's !
hopes are Ftill blattcd by paren-S
tal objection, but as a general
thins, the. traditional idea; that
the motorcycle is unsafe and dirty
and greasy, is giving way to fav
orable opinion. A letter volun
tarily pent to a motorcycle nian
nfaetnrer recently by a bank cash
ier in a progressive city in Illi
nois, clearly exemplifies the gen
eral tendency of thought. He
?aid among other things: "I
think a motorcycle is a fine thin,?
for a youns? man. ' My son en
joy?d a trip to California last
summer and after arriving on the
coast, toured about the country
there with his fidecar outfit a
great deal After returning home
I noticed that my boy was much
broader In his consideration of
everything and more self-reliant.
Th experience was a wreat big
education to him."
"Bill" Adams, veteran automo
bile salesman who is well known
in automobile circles of Marion
county has entered tho employ of
the Marion Automobile company.
He will have charge of the used
car sales department.

AI: any kid in Seattle who has
a tendency to play hookey ouc3
In a while and he will tell you
that he always keeps a sharp
lookout for l)oilje iJrothers tour
ing cars and roadsters.
Reason this la the type of car
cers cf the SaVnir oT Lardl
who scour the city constantly for
symptom of- juven;U delinquent
cy.
More tnan once one of thes-?
cars has pulled alongside the curb
or siided up to the swim nun'
hole to the great dismay of Lb
youngsuer who has remained ou'
of school to attend his grandmoth
er's funeral. Out popped the tr:
unt officer and before Johnny
could move he was under cross
examination. Now the Seattle school board
has made it a little easier for
Johnny by giving him a reason
able chance to "duck." The
board has ordered that cars used
by attendance officers be plain
ly lettered in conformity v.ith the
style of lettering on all other cars
owned by the school district.
When this action was proposed it
brought fortff a sharp and insist
ent protest by one of the school
officials. The objection was re
ported by a Seattle paper as fol
lows: "Mr. Fleming said in h: com
munication of protest that
Dodge IJrothers cars are used x
elusively by th? department, any
Dodge I'.rothers car is instant lv
the object of suspicion on the part
of the juvenile population of a,
community. To make them mor
conspicuous by lettering would be
merely adding to the troubles oT
r.n overburdened and nnappreeia
tlve public pervant. Cut the pro
test was overruled."
