much as we would have otherwise
done, although we stopped in that
city and visited the famous Temple

pany for us for when we felt the

We are very glad she went with
us.
Our mascot on our trip was a
little squab pigeon in a small wire
cage, the nicest pet imaginable.
One of mother’s relatives gave it to
I Ernest while visiting at Roswell.
[ Ernest named his baby pigeon
“Gypsy” because of the fact that
it escaped from us once while driv-
ing out in the mountains, roamed
lout oyer the canyons and we, after
some difficulty recaptured it. Now,
it is amusing to; see him exhibit
his little pet and to hear him say
boastfully, “Yep, Gypsy has been
through four states. You ate when
we ate, drank when we drank and
slept when we slept, didn’t you

On Independence Day we cele-
brated by way of visittng the won-

wonder of the world.” This cave is
just as marvelous as tt lef said id

tell of its beauties.

We drove through Hollywood and
got a glimpse of the homes of
some of the movie' stars.
In Long Beach, “the Play-ground
of America,” we had a very enjoy-
able time in the home of one of
mother’s cousins with whom she I
was raised. It was there that we
took a dip in the salty Pacific. You
people who intend to go to Long
Beach on a pleasure trip, be sure to
take a ride on the Jack-Rabbit
Racer. It will make yon feel young
again.
We stopped ^hext in Yuma, Ari-
zona, “the hottest place on the
globe.” There the heat registers
112 degrees in the shade. But they
certainly have lovely nights there.
Then we came back over the Im-
perial Valley. In this desert the
atmosphere is very Still. There is
not a sign of life there except for
a gas station we occasionally pass-
ed. In the distance we could see
hills outlined. There were count-

From Globe we went straight to

crossed over into Old Mexico, “just I
to say we had been out of the
{ United States,” and spent a gay
afternoon looking around Juarez. 1
From El Paso we care home.
Our things were inspected about
7 times on the trip to see if we
were carrying any infected fruit
\ and once to see if we were carry-
i ing anything valuable out of Old

I :is an unlucky day but we know j
i that that belief, there is nothing to

almost live weeks (the entire trip
covered about 5652 miles) and had
no car trouble or accidents, the
camp-houses we stayed In at night
were comfortably furnished and
well equipped, in general we had
wonderful roads, we saw many,
many beautiful sights and truly
we had a most glorious time.
