Continuing north they arrived at Los Angeles, which is as far as their travels took them. They enjoyed the. city very much and visited its many spots of interest, including the NB3 broadcasting studio and several large ' motion picture studios. Beverly Hillswas especially beautiful. Forced To Turn Back They started the journey home Monday, intending to take a short cut through the mountains south of Los Angeles.. All went well until they reached the mountains. Then the hieh-i er they went the worse the roads became. Finally they came to a stream, and here the road was completely washed out and they were forced to turn back and take a different route. They passed through Yuma, Tucson and Douglas, Arizona. Parking their Car in the latter city near the customs house, they crossed the border isto old Mexico. Streets were of dirt and the natives of the city seemed lazy. Children wore tattered clothes and no shoes. Many of them had never possessed a pair of shoes in their life. A native jokingly informed our not-so-guilible travelers that tu0y could tell the a«e of children by the scales on their feet. From Douglas they continued homeward to Lordsburcr, N. M., and from there to Deming and Alamagorda in the same state. At Deming th^y viewed White Sands National monument, dunes of quartz crystals shifted by the winds. These dunes, white as snow, are found in areas about twenty-five miles long and ten miles wide. Encounter Dust Storm They went through Amarillo. Texas, through the panhandle. Here they encountered a. blinding dust storm, which lasted for the nex* 400 miles of travel. Many times they were unable to see the road, and were forced to stop until the storm subsided a bit, to enable them to pass on. They followed Routp 66 through Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Okla., to Joplin, Mo. From there they drove to, Joliet and then home, arriving in McHenry about midnight. While in California they al«o viewed the All-American Canai. which has been dug in the desert outside Los Angeles. It carries water into the city and is used for irrigation. Gasoline wars were prevalent, throi^srhout the west. At Tulsa. Okla.. a gallon of regular gasoline sold for 12c and a "questionable" brand for 10c. The highest paid was in Arizona, where the cost of gasoline was 27c per gallon. HEALTH PROTECTION Pure Milk will protect the health of vour children. Grade A is the best.
