The ordinary driver feels that In
making one of these long trips ho Is
subjecting his car to a severe test In
scaling the precipitous erodes and
skillfully steering his car around the
many sharp turns In tho roads which
winds around tho series ot mountain
ranges-which separata the San Joa
quin valley from tho famous Yosr

The four-eyllndcr Hulck which this J
year won the Camp Curry cup prob
ably was called upon to do more dif
ficult feats than any car was cvor
asked to perform In making this
strenuous run Into Yosemite. It was
a test torc the motor, tho carburetor,
the Ignition system and tho mechani
cal construction ot tho car. Fred
Gross, one of the most expert drlv
era and Ignition men on the Pacific
coast, who was a member of the
pioneer crew which managed to safe

not once did the valve-ln-head motor.

THE AUTOMOBILE J
T0 doeudes ago tlio horseless
buggy was In Its experimental
Mngo. The sound of the oxIhuinI of
the gas-propelled vehicle brought tho
wliolo family to tho window to sue tho
new contraption go by, says tho
Grants Pius Courier, and It was n
common cause, for hilarity when the
driver would luwn to "got nut and
get under," fnr tho ohkImo was not
tho perfect thing Hint It now Is.
Twenty years havo witnessed wonders
lit the perfecting ot the automobile.
It hus beconio almost foot proof, nnd
the exercise of common cure makes II
prnrtlcnlly certain In Ita action. When
trouble occurs, It ran ordinarily be
traced to carelessness or Innxperlonre
on tho part of tho operator. Tho nu
tomobllo has changed tho entire
trend of Industry. Front It llm pres
ent system of highways has develop
ed, nnd transportation has been rev
olutlonliod. It lias become a necessity
whero only n single decade ago It
was considered n luxury.
With thn development of the au
tomobile, tho development nf the
tractor has kept nparo. mid farm
work has met as great a change as
has transportation. Tho , wheeled
horse has taken much nf drudgery
from the farm, though It seems that
the era of thn tractor has only open
ed. Tho development In the nUtomotUn
Hue that ran be anticipated during
the nuxt 10-year period will no doubt

bustion engines may glvo way to pro
pulsion by electrical or other energy
obtained direct from nature's labora
tory. Somo day gas manufactured
from petroleum, will havo to give
