The passenger automobile pion
eered the way for adoption of mo
tor vehicle transportation in al
most every part of the world but
the motor truck now takes over
maining frontiers of modern civ
ilization. Graham Brothers commercial
cars, in fact, are the first load
carrying vehicles of any sort
other than man's backs to pene
trate the cannibal inhabited jun
gles of western Papua in New
Guinea. They are carrying the
expedition of Captain S. N. Mc
Lean of Burradoo, Australia, to
the location of large oil domes
recently discovered in the forbid
ding wilds of this largely unex
plored island archipelago.
The expedition sailed for Papua
from Sydney this summer with the
trucks and complete equipment
for the boring of deep oil wells,
and is now making its way into
territory where many of the na
tives have never before seen a
white man. The preliminary ex
pedition from which Captain Mc
Lean returned early this year
pointed out the necessity for mo
tor trucks.
On that journey the services of
more than 90 natives direct de
scendants of cannibal and head
hunting aborigines were re- i
quired to carry the test drill
equipment which estblished the :
presence of oil in large quantities, j
Some of these natives, the Cap-
tain found, have never before '
seen a white man and he admits
that many . uneasy hours were j
spent when food ran low and a 1
ring of hungry eyes about the
tamp fires seemed to glisten in
anticipation of a full meal closie
at hand. The fact that Graham
Brothers trucks had no cannibal
tendencies is admittedly a big re
lief to members of the party.
Selection of these trucks for
the work in Papua followed the
j record they made in the expedi
tion of R. K. Allen, American geo
logist, who recently returned from
an exploration of the desert heart
of Australia covering 22,000 miles
in 16 months, emerging with noth
ing but praise for the transporta
tion equipment on which their
lives depended.

be without parallel in the history
cf Australian motoring.
One of the most remarkable
features of the trip was the ford
ing of 92 swollen streams with
out mishap, an outstanding trib
ute to motor performance.
An exciting experience during
the tour, vthat only the rugged
strength of the Oldsmobile pre
vented from' resulting in serious
injury to the drivers, occurred at
Dajarra, in Queensland, when the
car, speeding at more than 35
mites per hour over an old rail
way track, struck a washout and
was hurletl over a 20-foot em
lankment. This occasioned on
ly a miliar repair, made by the
owner and bis companion who
sustained no injury ia the drop.
Tiespite the tact mat roads
through the Northern Territory
were freonently li'tte more than

stretches of deen sand', th

tically impossible to obtain.

THE multiplying rate at which the newest
Royal Eights and Sixes by Chandler are ap
pearing on the streets from coast to coast, is
causing a whole lot of notice and comment.
Particularly amazing to the public is Chand
ler's latest achievement in building a magnificent
Special Six Sedan or less than a thousand dollars I
Exceptionally appealing in its low-swung de
sign in its smart harmony of color in its luxury
and with its high compression Pikes Peak
motor, exceptionally and marvelously powerful.
Moreover, this Chandler lubricates itself from
one end of the chassis to the other, the moment
you press your foot on a plunger. I
