His traveling equipment con- rists mostly of camera, razor, t;mth-l brush, cigarette lighter, and can- opener. He looks at the life in the terms of adventure, of a series of so-called impossible peaks to be sealed. In Turkey, in the town of Ismid, lying on the Sea, he was arrested as a spy. He had been taking pictures of the na- tives in the natrow . street nd;ng1 on a’dénkey’s back..The militdry fortifications nappened to be in the background of the street and| the ‘Turks thought he had been| taking pictures of those.

The distance is° 700 miles—weary miles—across the Syrian and Iraquign deserts and it was summer time. The temperature was 130 degrees above zero in the shade of the tewns. But he started, with noth- ing but several pounds of driéd dates and his canteen bottle filled with the murky water of the Euph- | rates river. It took him 32 days to reach Bagdad. On the way he got lost in a furious sand-storm. In the 18 hours| the * sandstorm lasted, he experi-| enced one of his most horrible ad- ! ventures.

Bumpers and spare tire extra at Jow cost.) S T S S When you buy a Ford car today, you buy what is unquestionably the greatest value in the history of the Ford Motor Company. Never before has so much beauty, comfort, safety and performance been offered at such a low price. The low price of the Ford is something to think about because it means an immediate saving of many dollars — always an important consideration. - But far more significant than price alone is what you get for that price. When high quality is combined with low price, you may justly take pride in having found a most satisfactory purchase. See the Ford—ride in it—learn something about the value that is built into every part. The more you know about it, the more certain you will be that it is the car for yon. It is literally true that when you “gets the fact you will get a Ford.” JUNEAU MOTORS CO DISTRIBUTORS Q_Jonvenience The effortless ease with which you can cook with a: Westinghouse electric range will prove a most delightful surprise.
