Following directions, after sevâ€" eral hours we saw a high mountain mhead, with buildings near the top. We remarked that people picked strange places to live, and played the game of guessing which way the road would turn toâ€"to the right around the mountain, or to the left. We climbed, and finally stopped at a gas station to ask where the road would lead. The answer was, ‘"To Jeromeâ€"up there." "Up there" looked Qilu away. We were assured that the road was in good condition and that it was the short cut over the At Albuquerque we met our Junior‘s fiance. The Hollywood Automobile Club had made reserâ€" vations, and this time we stayed at the Ambassador Motel, Triple A. During our several days‘ stay we saw all there was of Indian relics and the usual art displays. At Santa Fe we had dinner at the famous La Fonda Hotel. More relics and art displays and an Old Silver Store. The display was gorâ€" geous, and daughter and I found some side combs with an engraved silver band across the top. Our only objection was that the silver looked old. The young man in atâ€" tendance seemed shocked that we should expect to buy something in an Old Silver Shop that was bright and shiny. But, anxious to make a sale, he asked: "Do you really want that silver shiny bright?" He got out polish and chamois skin and soon we had just what we wanted at a reasonâ€" able price. But I‘m sure the clerk didn‘t class us with artistic Old Silver devotees. We returned home a different way. We were told that the shortâ€" est way was through Jerome, at least 40 miles shorter, and 40 miles of desert driving is not to be sneezed at. Back in the desert again, I amused myself by writing down auto licenses. Before we reached Albuquerque we‘d passed autos from 39 different states, not counâ€" ting California, two from British Columbia, and even Washington, D. C. There were dozens of cars from Illinois and the eastern states. Many carried huge bundles on top of the hood or tied on back. Many of these travelers don‘t sleep in hotels at all, and many even cook en route. But they get as much pleasure and learn more than those with driver and footâ€" Deserts are not always in lowâ€" lands. We saw miles of snow fenâ€" ces when we reached the 7000 foot level. Hoover Dam, for some years known as Boulder Dam. My first trip there was just three weeks beâ€" fore the water was let in. Taken down to the very bottom, we were told to look, up. It made me feel the size of /a carpet tack. On our bridge. Now there are crowds everywhere. There were babies in arms and people on crutches. But to understand Hoover Dam one should really have seen it before it was in operation. Placid Lake Mead doesn‘t give one the faintâ€" est glimmer of what is underâ€" neath.

This eeting will mark the beginning of their eleventh At 3:30 a.m. we reached Indio and stopped for food. Pretty girls served breakfast, and everything was spick and span. If one hadn‘t known it was night, one would have thought it was noon lunch. Our last stop before reaching home was Palm Springs, where we stopped for gas and something cool to drink. At 8:30 a.m. we were homeâ€"and it sure looked good. Even the cat was glad to see us. Instead of staying all night at Prescott, we decided to go on to Winslow and make the last dash through the desert by night. This is the hottest part of the desert country, and August is not a cool month,. Luckily we found two beautiful cottages at a Motel and had an early dinner, retiring at seven o‘clock. By midnight we were on the road. There was a full moon and perfect roads with wide white line down the center, for miles and miles as straight as an arrow. > These roads are used by truck drivers at night, and the family auto had to move in with the trucks. It was impossible to pass them, but there was courtesy beâ€" tween the drivers and the driver of our car. When we got up to a large truck our driver would flash his head lights, and if the truck driver saw a clear road ahead he would give us two flashes of his énd lights, which meant, "Come on." If he gave only one flash it meant, "Stay where you are." When we passed a truck the driver got a wave of the hand and a thank you from everyone in the car. Traveling in second, we finally reached Jerome, which consisted of several very large modern buildings, a couple of new schools, and ._ many .. tumbleâ€"down frame houses; and after dodging many holes in the road we reached the center of the City of Jerome, which is hearer Heaven than I had ever been before. Suddenly we were stopped by a man holding a folded newspaper up and sayâ€" ing, "HALT," to my daughter, who was then driving. She stopped and There must have been two kinds of movies. The crowd coming out was all boys and dogs, and the line waiting to get in was all girly. Boys and dogs were all over the street, and as far as our auto was concerned, they didn‘t even seem to see it. So we inched along until we left behind the last‘boy and dog and hole in the road in the City of Jerome. he said, "Lady, I think it would be wise to go very carefully around the next corner (it was 15 feet away and we were going 20 miles) because the movies have just let out and there will be many children in the street." mountain.
