T INTRETING TRIP IN AN AUTO FROM HERE TO NORTH WOODS| _ Washington Motorist Gives Vivid Picture| of Experiences Along the Road on Long Jaunt. four fingers of it. alive. Then, dround the bend, we came upon two young men, grazing by the roadside, who held us up. They only wanted 4 lift, explaining that they had been working their way through col- lege and were now beating it 200 miles home—sans baggage, exchequer or commissary. They had arisen early be- cause of insects, rodents and other dis- comforts in their sleeping quarters—a wheatstack in the adjoining field. They complained of the poor pasturage this Year —one had aceumulated seven biue: | berries for breakfast and the other | three. Needing both ballast and com- pany, they were welcomed in. It was good to be and we feared for the consequences. At the east end of the Albany Lridge we had a gloomy parting, when our cheery companions were set down in the rain, fifty miles from home, broke. ~ And, accidentally, it s discovered they had been taKing turns sleeping on the new panama. We were sorry they found it out, they felt so badly about it. Never- mind. boys, after leaving you it re- ceived a good Boaking and was kueaded back into shape with a wick- ed list to starboard that makes the cld man look ten years younger. At parting we introduced ourselves, a function hitherto overlooked, and a few days later came a heart warm- ing_letter, saying they had caught the boy said, “First thing tomorrow morning, we'll jump in the Fierce nd g8 after some trout,” we replied, “Amen! Let's dig some worms.” And go we did, the next day, and every few days _thereafter, and brought home our share of the bacon, too. And we flushed grouse and saw mink, muskrat, beaver, raccoon. woodchuck and 'a red fox, and 'wild mother ducks, with their fledglings swimming by them; and we started deer and heard them go crashing through the underbrush. And late one afternoon an old porcupine dis- puted the road with the Fierce, and we were about to run him down, for a ride, which he advised against. 4 mile further we passed them, nct stopping in response to their hail. They did not leok good to us. The old gentleman went off on a conversational ramble forty miles long, the first period coming when a blow- out scared a word back in his throat. | As he was a shoeman, we set him to work on Sparrow shoes, and he ren- dered real assistance in changing tires. 2 At Saratoga we stopped ‘to have a new tire mounted on the carrier. The old one had chosen the. usual tar-bed for its demise, and our dinky little golf suit of soft green was smeared with sticky black streaks. But the O our Maryland tag that caught his eye.

We were not familiar with the city, and the boy, w ived on the north side of town, insisted on going all the long way through to show us the best route, not taking his leave until we came to the Washington road cn the far side. .« AUTOMOTIVE BRIEFS.

Today it stands forth in startling contrast—a big, fine seven-passenger car, yet now back to the price of the 1913 five-passenger Chandler. Only a large, successful organization with immense facilittes and unlimited resources could produce the present highly refined and perfected Chandler at a price that was sensationally low eight years ago. Today this splendid Chandler Six, famous for its marvelous motor and many individual features of design, cannot be duplicated in appearance or performance at anywhere near its price.

It was now getting well on into the afternoon, and the road seemed never- ending. Bethlehem, the next big town, appeared to have wandered off on a visit to relatives in the orient. We rearranged the pillow behind our an- cient back and gave thanks for a foot accelerator and an eazy wheel, ! which permitted driving with one hand and foot and lolling back in eomparative ease. But gradually the landscape changed. Distant mountains blurred the hori- ion anead. undulating grades gave way to galloping hills, and then, in a distant valley. flashed thd waters of the Lehigh, and to the right, around 2 bend, the city, nestling on the slopes.

But the “sporting” range is instently 'available to pick up the load and lift it out of a traffic jam—to breeze over any hill—to attain any speed you would dare on the level. the m And even without considering these distinctive per- formance advantages, this car stands as the dominant motor car value among the better class cars today on a straight comparison of what you get for what you pay. “The Semmes || Way” NEW PRICES : Thesortofwork hat bl Before You Buy Any Other Car, See the Chandler e e indorsement of KIS : the motoring public—the Touring Car and Roadster with new permanent top: $2880 Seven Beautiful Body Types - sort of work that can be Coupé: $3500 / 5-Passenger Sedan: $3650 ” Seven-Passenger Touring Car, $1785 _ Two-Passenger Roadster, $1785 Four-Passenger Roadster, $1785 Four-Passenger Dispatch Car, $1865 /Seven-Passenger Sedan, $2885 _ Four-Passenger Coupe, $2785 33385 done only by competent workmen, working under ideal conditions and under the direction of a leader who personally srpervises every job, and takes pride in making every job a per- fect one. 7-Passenger Sedan: $3790 Sedan-Limousine: $4060 PRICES F.
