Inability t" gat enough freight cars
to ship the overland to the dealers
has greatly Increased the number of
machines which are now driven from
the factory to the sales representa
tives. Every morning the Streets
around the factory are filled with the
now cars going out in groups of from
10 to 50 machines, and very often as
many as 100, led by one pilot. In one
week more than 1000 Overland 4h
were driven from the factory. Deal
ers in cities uk far as 1000 miles from
Toledo have sent squadrons of driver
to get their allotments of machines.

VAST CHINESE DESERT
The vast nobi desert of Mongalia
has been cniuiuered by an autonie4ile.
Dreary wastes that were ohf before
the beginning of the christian era and
whose shifting, wispering sands have
lolled off the countless hours of clvl
b7ntion. have been traversed for the
first time, by means other than the
swift Aratla horse or tho mild-eyed
"bidding camel.
George Moszkovskl, former lieuten
ant in the Polish army with five com
panies, traversed 3.500 miles of desert
In a twin-six Packard to prove tho
nissibilitv of substituting the motor
for beasts of burden to bring goods
from Mongolia, and Turkestran to
world markets.
It took two months and a half or
driving along tortuous caravan trails,
up dried river beds and skirting gn at
mountains and table lands In tem
peratures varying from the scorching
heat that caused evaporation of water
in the radiator to biting cold that
made it necessary to heat water before
It could be used. Deep sand and sharp
stones wore out four sets of chains, yet
one set of Ooodyear corda carried the
enr oved the entire trip without trouble
and made the 1 spares excess bag
gage. Two trailers containing equipment
wr-ro used, but one was engulfed in the
desert sand and was left a silent
monument to man's achieve
ments. Camela carrying gasoline, fol
lowed far to the rear and at times the
car would be forced to wait three days
until the "ships of tho desert" came
up with a supplv of gas.
In the heart of the desert the party
was confronted by an apparently im
passible mountain range. through
which the Chineso guide and chauf
fers knew no pass. Here superstition
that the desert spirits were warning
that no further attempt should be
made to penetrate the desert, gainon
ascendency oyer the orientals. They
refused to continue.
Nomadic Chinese fled at sight if the
"devil wagon" and no information as
to a pass could be olitaineo. rinauj
a more stout -hearle.l u lisMmn wr
encountered and information Obtained
whereby the weary travelers reached
Crumchl to the amazement of the in
habitants and their own relief.
