For Coming Week CHAINS SHOULD BE OFF TIRES IF NOT NEEDED Wear and Tear Hard on Both Chains and Rubber Skid chains should be used only when absolutely necessary. Too many motorists make the error of running on chains when the weather is dry or dry enough to promote safe travel on the regular cords. This practice shortens the life of both tires and chains and costs the owner of an automobile real money in a short space of time. While it may be rather an irk- some task to remove chains anf then put them on again a day or two later with the advent of another blizzard and drizzling rain, still the amount of money saved on wear and tear on tires and chains is suffici- ent to compensate one for the time lost In making the change. Chaing are necessary only under exertmely adverse driving condi- tions. Many motorists make the mis- take of putting them on for city driving at the first drop of rain, There are extremities in everything. Chains may be applied too soon and for too long a period and they may be applied too late and removed from the wheels too soon. Why not try to find a happy medium. Drink Hilicrest Water.

Dr, Roy Chapman Andrews, Noted Explorer, Writes Own Account of Thrilling 2, Experiences in Desert» - -» DR. ROY CHAPMAN ANDREWS. The motor car will be the “cover- ed wagon” of the Gobi Desert in Mongolla, the most extensive unde-~| veloped and -unexplored region now left in the World. Motor vehicles will be to this quarter of thy globe what the ox-drawn and horse-drawn can- vas topped wagons were to Amer- Ica’s great west, and it is concelvable that ‘some scenario writer of the fu: ture will give us a screen drama of central Asia comparable to the splen- aid picture based on Emerson Hough's book. This practically unknown territory Is half as large as the United States Alaska excluded. If you put Mon- golla down on the map of the United States, it would extend from Wash- ington on the east to Nevada in the west, and from Austin, Texas on the south to the Canadian border. It has never, been’ open to the world be- cause of the impossibly slow traffic of camel trains, the only means of communication. But now it is being eriss-crossed in every direction by motor cars, or more correctly by one motor car, the Dodge. Sixty or sev- enty Dodge Brothers cars are n ing regular trips far into the ‘or of this vast waste, bring loads of sables and o' precious furs, wool and other product No car except the Dodge {s found far in the interior. We have tried it out on each of our three expeditions and have had it demonstrated to our satisfaction that the Dodge is the only car that will stand up under the strain of the roadless desert and do everything we ‘ask of it. Hunting the Mountain Sheep. The Dodge and I went through some thrilling and extraordinary ad ventures together. For one thing, I believe I can say truthfully that I am the only man in the world who ever shot a mountain sheep from the neat pf a motor car. I was able to do It because, apparently. the sheep was so astonished fo see such a strange creature as a motor car in its rocky domain that it forgot to run away. It happened one day while [ was driving my Dodge up and down a serles of steep ridges in the Altai mountains. Everybody knows that the mountain sheep is about the most timld creature in the world Bagging one of them Js a rare event, for the hunter must be, not only a mountain climber of rare ab! * but an exceptional shot. When I (irst saw the one that I got it was standing on a point~ of. rock high nbove me. Stopping the car I grabbed my rifle, expecting to see the sheep 0 bounding away. Instead, the sheep, astounded and curtous, took a few steps ahead to get a better view of this strange ceature that had invaded its fastnesses, It stood motfonl in full view, and I down at the first shot. Escapes Quicksand Trap. One adventure In particular was full of peril for all in the party, as well as for the car. One of the most important finds we-made on this trip from camp was the fossilized re- mains/of the giant Baluchitherium ft member of the rhinoceros family und the largest land mammal that over lived. Something Ike three mil- Mon years ago this great beast bad sunk in quicksand and been fossil- ized there in ap upright position. We recovered the feet and part of the legs of the animal. It wag while crossing the bed of an old river nearby that we nearly shared the fate of the Baluchither- jum, The man I sent ahead to look for quicksand reported that every- thing was all right. The sand was smooth and apparently firm. I start- ed across and quickly ran the speed up to thirty miles an hour, The speed saved our lives, When we were about half way over, the back of the car sundden sank as though we had run over a pit covered with glass. But the speed carried the front of the car over the quicksand, and the front wheels hung on firm ground, The back of the car had sunk almost out of sight, but we yanked {t out with another Dodge in which other mem- bers of he party were riding. But for that patch of firm ground another party of explorers some mil- ions of. years hence might have found a fossilized Dodge many feet down in the sand. Dependability Meant Life.

Dealers in automobile accessories report one of the most successful Christmas séasons in the history of the industry, due no doubt to the oneentrated advertising c: ged by both wholesaler and re tailer to put over the gift idea.

Hundreds of Casper Christmas trees were laden Friday morning with seat cushions, lu carriers, heaters, rear view and scores of other articles equally useful and equally ornamental This increase in Christmas bust- ness has been made a reality in the face of the growing tendency of au tomobile manufacturers to place practically avery needed accessory on @ new car as it comes from the fac- tory. Years ago, it was necessary to drive a machine from the dealer salesroom to the door of an acces- sory house to equip it for comfort able driving. Cars today come equipped with dozens of accessories.
