N. DARLING. (The Second Day.) | 6:30 a.m—Clear, bright, sunny day, cold and with snow covering the land- | scape. Up at the crack of dawn for | bath (which the hotel needed more | than we) and early start. Upon in- spection and consultation over the slowness of the dribble of hot water | from the tub faucet we decided if we waited until the tub was comfortably full we wouldn't get to Florida before the 4th of July, so cut the baths. Upon early morning inspection of the dining room, still redolent with the hang- over from the previous night's vege- table soup, we decided to let the breakfast go with the baths.

Slow Going in Arkansas. 7:30 pm.—All afternoon through winding roads of typical Arkansas scenery, hilly and slow going; first evidence of trailer's extra loaud on motor, necessitating frequent resort to intermediate gear. Solid lines on road maps do not always mean paved roads, not in Arkansas or Southern Missouri—but no really bad roads yet encountered. Had hoped to make Littie Rock for the night, but dark and cloudy at 5 o'clock, so pulled up at Conway. Repitition of previous night's effort to locate suitable parking place. Excellent, clean and well managed hotel (the Bachelor) beckoned too temptingly to come in out of the cold, where we might find running hot water and flushable toilets. Plenty of time to try the trailer sleeping accommodations when we reach warm- er clime. No town so small that it did not have festoons of Christmas greens and strings of electric lights, and Conway was gay with them. All along the road today were picturesque reminders of the distance we had come from delicatessen menus and steam- heated apartments. It was hog-killing time in Arkan- sas—great iron kettles, swung over 7, 2Tk A\ 025 N i L L1/ /2 i The Cruise of the Bouncing Betsy Scarcity of Parking Places for Trailer Marks Trip From Mis- as long as the roads were smooth, but whenever we strike a stretch of gravel or antique black top, then the fun be- gins. Interesting comparison in prices: Dinner last night, 50 cents apiece, with roast turkey, fresh asparagus, new peas, gravy with delicious hot baking powder biscuits and mince pie; also noticed in window of clothing store a camel’s hair cloth coat priced at $16.50. South on highway No. 65 to Little Rock, Ark., passengers all riding ahead in motor, too rough going in the trailer over these roads. No sooner had we established ourselves in the car than we ran onto a long stretch of broad, smooth cement pave- ment. Little Rock and Pine Bluff, pleasant, prosperous towns nestled in the valleys of the Ozark Mountains, Out on the country roads small cot- ton fields encircling paintless, win- dowless and almost roofless cabins, often leaning at a perilous angle and looking as though a breath of wind would blow them over; on first glance one would think the premises deserted and uninhabited for years, but as our lumbering caravan attracted their at- tention the doorways would fill with assorted sizes of black faces, their eyes showing white at the sight of our strange conveyance.

Through Ozark Foothills. 9:45 am.—Passed through War- saw and crossed arm of Lakes,of the Ozarks, the recently completed arti- ficial lake which is destined to become one of Missouri’s greatest assets; through foothills of the Ozark Moun- tains, with picturesque landscape on all sides whose beauty will be trebled with the arrival of Spring foliage and | flowering shrubs. Rugged but pictur- esque country, dotted with sparse pop- | ulation living in ramsheckle farm houses. 11:05 a.m.—Springfield, Mo. Hand- | some city with well-designed court house dome dominating the skyline | and glistening in the bright sunshine. Springfield is always worth a look, and with its main streets artistically hung with Christmas decorations and side- walks crowded with shoppers it made a striking contrast to the tumble- down cabins on lean-looking soil which had bordered the highway. 12:30—Passed through town of Ozark, Ark. center of finest small- mouth bass fishing territory in the | United States. Evidence of what a few small-mouth bass can contribute to prosperity apparent in the well occasional inns and resort hotels which characterize the resort regions of Southern Missouri and Northern Ar- kansas. Almost out of the snow belt. Occasional patches in the heavy oak wood where the wine-red leaves still cling in great masses of color against the snow patches, and green pines would make a painter’s fingers itch for brush and pallette. Good lunch pre- pared en route and eaten while we pulled up at the side of the road with With one of these machines you'll really enjoy your washing they’re demonstrat- ors at thi but real stand: built homes and Summer cottages, pius | || | house sent up billowing plumes of | steam into the frosty air. Hanging | from a stout horizontal limb of a , nearby tree was the Winter supply of | fresh meat in all stages of progress. Early in the morning we heard above the drone of the motor engine and the rumble of the trailer the violent | protest of the unhappy porker as he | | was dispatched on his road to scrapple, | chitlins, sausage, hickory smoked hams | | and sidemeat. By early afternoon we | were passing exhibits of the day’s work done —shining carcasses, shaved, dressed and split neatly in half were | hanging to “cool out,” and the mem- | bers of the families and their neigh- | bors who had come in for the butch- | ering bee were busy washing up.

Warm and pleasant, and for the first time we allowed the heater in the trailer to go out. Lumber and cotton, with big sawmills and cotton gins, the chief industry.

Noon—Out of the hills and into the Mississippi bayou country, green grass and live oaks heavily hung with streamers of gray moss. Found road maps entirely unreliable, and on local advice taking to county roads in pref- erence to main marked highways. Passed through Lake Village; pretty little town on border of extensive bayou where bass fishing highly rec- ommended—12 miles out of Lake Village crossed line into Louisiana and turned east to cross the Mississippi River into Vicksburg. Passed en route long stretch of Mississippi leveg sys- tem for protection against overflow. Extensive flat lands most all in cotton flelds and a little corn—magnolia trees, live oaks and pines, refreshing in their Winter green foliage; passed Lake Providence, another Mississippi bayou, on the shores of which s built the loveliest residence section we have yet encountered, with every lawn as green as Spring and occasional flow- erin_g shrubs and a real feeling of semi-tropics, though it seemed still much too far north for such a dis- Pplay. Louisiana looked prosperous and handsome compared to Arkansas, an impression which was greatly aug- mented by well-paved roads. 1:10 p.m.—Crossed toll bridge over the Mississippi to Vicksburg, $1 extra for the trailer. We had not yet discovered an inviting place to pull off the road for an overnight stop since leaving home, except in the middle of the day, when‘we could only pause for lunch. Vicksburg, a sightly city on high bluffs overlooking the broad valley of the Mississippi; excellent hotels, but no trailer camp and no accommodations for trailers in good-looking tourist camp. Decided to go on toward Jack- son, keeping an eye on the roadside possibilities for an overnight stop; excellent roads, with first-class black- top surface, but no camping sife— road bordered by cuts or fills most of | the way. So arrived at Jackson, Miss., | after dark, and after making a circle of the town in search of accommoda- tions for our outfit, resigned ourselves to our usual fate and accepted the hospitality of a good hotel and fine garage for the night. In Traller Language. When I speak of fine garage, I am speaking in trailer language, which means that it is not only equipped with broad expanse of floor space, but that you can drive in, park for the night and drive out without having to back up and turn around. It can be done, but it is not a job for amateurs, since it requires the accu- racy of calculation of an engineer and & thorough knowledge of “reverse Eng- lish"—best exemplified in pool play- ers. (Harvey Ingham ought to do well at it.) And don’t take the Wrong road. You can’t turn sround in the wrong road, and you cannot make use of the device of backing up and taking a second crack at the turn. As a con- sequence, taking the wrong road means that you have to keep going straight ahead until you come to the next town and go around the block and back the way you came or chance upon an oil station set back far enough from the road to allow ample space for a complete forward turn. Our admira- tion for trailer-truck drivers who can back into a loading platform with only a couple of inches to spare on either side was greatly heightened by our own awkward efforts. (Fourth article in series to be printed tomorrow.) (Copyright, 1937.) — HARGRAVE ATTACKED AS “IRRESPONSIBLE” EDMONTON, Alberta, January 27 (Canadian Press).—Premier William Aberhart yesterday attacked his former economic adviser, John Hargrave, as “an irresponsible person.” The social credit premier declared Hargrave's sudden departure yester- day was “but another attempt by some unknown person or persons * * ¢ to make our task all the more diffi- cult.” Hargrave, leader of the Social Credit party of the United Kingdom and technical adviser to the provincial government's Social Credit Planning Commiitee, left, he said, “because I regretfully find myself unable to co- operate further witn Mr. Aberhart and | his cabinet.” He added, “What little confidence T had left in the competence, deter- mination and reliability of the Aber- hart government” had been lost. The premier declared his faith in government by social credit remained unshakes “1 feel like a different person’ ’ "| was so cranky and irritable from constant head- aches that | was losing all my friends—but it's different since | started to wear glasses."

Naturally your car must be in reasonable shape, and you must have a genuine Winter Blend of gasoline, to~‘get along” on every cold day, in the following sure, easy way: Leave ignition OFF, unless startix-type. Keep clutch pedal down. Open hand- throttle about one-third. Pull choke full out, if not automatic. And then—but not before—operate your starter. AFTER two or three engine revolutions, - switch on the ignition. You should get quick, steady, powerful firing that tells you the starter can rest. Start pushing choke in GRADUALLY. Even in severe cold it’s useless to fumble around and start over again so many times that you’re scared of a flooded engine and dying battery. Be- sides you don’t want to thin your oil and waste your gasoline by over-choking.
