 VOLUME 31

They're off! E. Alexander Powell, F. R. G. S., and the SUNSET Car! Mr. Powell has traveled all over the world, using all sorts of conveyances from the ships of the sea and of the desert to the automobile of the Corniche Road beside the Mediterranean. This is his latest experience as a wayfarer on the seven seas and the coasts thereof and the dry land that lieth between and beyond them. The trip is certain to be, in many ways, as interesting a journey as he has yet made, at least by automobile, for every year that form of transporta tion is made possible for more of us. Camels may never enter our lives but automobiles seem bound to, sooner or later. Thus we shall read with a delight ful sense of impending emulation “the Log of the SUNSET Car.” It is SUN SET's own car that is making the trip, and Mr. Powell is one of the most popular writers for the Magazine. He begins his trip at the Mexican line near San Diego and he is determined to end it on the Alaskan border beyond Hazelton, in British Columbia. If he succeeds he will have accomplished what has not yet been done, we believe—to cross British Columbia on one's own wheels and under one's own power. So the cruise of the SUNSET car is bound to be one of varied adventure, beginning under soft blue skies, among the flower-scented arches of the California Missions and ending amid the primeval wilderness of the Country of Tomorrow. Illustrated in colors. Af

A Wonder-City is being built in San Francisco for the nation's festival

in 1915—not entirely in architects offices but actually upon the beach first



touched by the tide from the Pacific as it pours through the Golden Gate. Pictures of the progress of the Panama-Pacific Exposition, some of them in colors, including a reproduction of a painting by the famous Jules Guerin, Director of Color of the Exposition, are a feature of the December issue.

Kyne, like a literary Santa Claus, draws forth one of the best in his pack, Edith Ronald Mirrielees appears with a sympathetic story “Homestead,” postponed a month in order to make room in November for one more short Billy Fortune story before beginning, in December, W. R. Lighton's splendid story of the Wyoming ranches, “The Man Who Won.” C. C. C.
