a i h. “Toy Makers Now Turning Out Real Miniature Autos . Time was that toy makers turned toy cars solely for the benefit of the juvenile_trade. Today, reports the National Automobile Club, an almost unprececented publie interest in new car styles is leading toy makers to turn out tiny cars for the use of our largest automotive companies and their dealers. Astute advertising and promotion managers have come to the conclusion that the best way for a dealer to explain the attractive features of his new car to prospectivecustoffiers is to have at hand a smail scale plastic model that can be taken up in the hands and easily turned this way and that, ne The companies are subscribing to this new theory with enthustasm and one of them has, turned in an, order for,.sQ many thousand f the: small cars that the toy manufacturer had to revamp his entire plant. The company’s engineering department developed exact scaled-down blueprints that are accurate to one-thousandth of san inch and the special dies required for the production of these small models came to a.wtotal of $35,000.The toy-maker’s plant has. rapidly become a miniature car factory with a regular assembly line turning out 138 inch long plastic cars at therate of one per ‘®& minute. They have easily removable ‘sections and a -transpatent side so that curious customers have very. little trouble getting a real peek into the insides. By requiring the toy maker to post a $10,000 dollar bond to guarantee. that he would keep the style changes a secret until the car was on the market, another company saw its way to let the manufacturer have a plaster model of the new car before it was made public. From this plaster model was developed a toy car that came -out in New York City show rooms and on New York City toy counters on the very day that the full-scale model was. introduced. Since that day the toy maker has been deluged with orders and has turned out more than 40,000 of the tiny cars. % Possess Venison Too Long After Season, Pay Fine Of $80° Each NEVADA CITY: Frank Scatera am ~ of Bear Valley, and George Sand2 ™ ers of Fuller Lake, on pleading guilty to having venison in possession longer than 15 days after the close of the season, were fined $80 each by Justice of the Peace George W.

By his own words, allowing the time that he mentioned for all of his travel, he had been in active travel for about one hundred and fifteen years, including ten years spent as a jockey in England, where he won the Derby: for his ducal patron. Later, we found he was the poorest horseman of us all. After about a week spent in Lima, we again took a Peruvian boat for Lomas, a little fishing village north of Mollendo. Here our pack train of some thirty mules was being runded up for up in preparation for our trek into the unknown Andes. A local merchant by the name: of Fracchia,—we were under the aegis of W. . Grace and Co., the largest concern in Peru—had offered us the use of his very comfortable villa at Lomas. Here we stayed for three weeks and began to get. acquainted with the natives and their customs. For about eight hours a day, I studied Spanish in our host’s excellent library, as it had fallen to me to act as interpreter for the party: The principal occupation of the natives of Lomas seemed to be fishing in the morning, lying-around in the sun till late afternoon, and then cockfighting for the rest of the time. They were. very proud of their. valiant birds, and bet their shirts on the outcome. After many days our outfit of mules was assembled. in. the interior, our packsaddles overhauled and assembled, our loads: of equipment properly apportioned, and the mules brought down for us. and our gear. Accordingly one cloudy afternoon at one ‘clock, we set out for Acari, on the Rig Lomas and abut twenty-five miles from the coast. Our head arriero, one Ruperto Denegri, whom 'we will long remember, advised us that we could ride ahead of the packs, and that his men with the mules could be trusted to catch up with us at Acari, as they would naturally move at a slower pace. His confidence, though touching, was hardly justified, as he rode along with us himself. From this trip onward, we insisted that the head arriero should ride with his job. Pounding across a waste of rolling-sand over a rough and uneven trail, we arrived at Acari about seven in the evening and proceeded to wait in a little dobe-walled, mudfloored shack for the packtrain, which of course had all our cots and bedding. After waiting till midnigght, we decided to turn in with clothes on, lying on the floor, and snatch a little rest. Unknown to us;~-certain fellow domicilaries had other plans with which we were not in accord.

Our mutual'trust and confidence sadly perturbed, my friend Denegri and . rode back and rounded up the mules, herding them in with the rest of. the drunken arrieros. Some had slipped their packs and lain down—others were patiently standing under their loads waiting for their drivers to wake up from drunken slumber—but finally we rounded them all up within fifteen miles of Acari, and herded both mules and drivers in together. At Acari we shod the mules and made them ready for the rough mountain trip; and two days later we struck up the valley of the Rio Lomas for San Pedro. The first day’s start was late, and as a result it was about nine o'clock in the evening when we rode into the hacienda of Malcho. Our host, a transplanted and grizzled Italian by thé name of Don Carlos Lancha y Laria, received us kindly even at that late hour, and after we had washed, stood by with a basin and anointed each of our heads with perfumed oil, in truly scriptural style. He arranged a hearty dinner for us which was served by a corps of Quichuas, chief among whom was a dwarf hunchback who wore a battered silk hat almost as tall as himself. This was his badge of authority among his fellows, as he was the local alcalde. As. our host informed us that he only wore it on important occasions, we felt, of course, highly honored. Next day, supplied with wine and fresh meat by our kindly host, who refused all compensation, we struck off from the fertile valley of the Lomas into:a dry and unwatered quebrada on the south which was the beginning of our climb to the summit of the Andes. We were headed for a water hole called by the Indians Marcoma, where our guides assured us we should have ‘to camp for the night, as it was the only break in some seventy miles of waterless journey. Winding up the dry and barren gulch of the quebrada, between huge boulders and enormous rock piles, we came to a trail which seemed to shoot straight up the cliffs over our heads. This trail some of our mules refused to negotiate at first, but after much persuasion of a sort, the drivers changed their minds. After climbing what seemed like five thousand feet, and what in reality was about two thousand, we came out on a little spur from which we could look back on the valley of the Lomas. But like Moses departing from the Promised Land, we turned our thoughts to higher things. No use looking back, because directly ahead of us the trail ran straight up another two thousand feet, and our tired animals again rebelled.
