This practically unknown territory is half ap large as the Urdted States, Alaska excluded. If yoiT put Mon golia down on the map of the United States, it would extend from Washing ton on the east to Nevada on the west, and from Austin, Texas, on the south to the Canadian border. It has never been open to the world because of the impossibly slow traffic of camel trains, the only means of communca- tion. But now it is being criss-crossed in every direction by motor cars, or more correctly by one motor car, the Dodge. Sixtjy or seventy Dodge Brothers cars are making regular trips far into the interior of this vast waste, bringing put loads of sables and other precious furs, wool and other products. No car except the Dodge is found far.in the interior. We have tried it out on each of our three expeditions, and have had it demonstrated to our satisfaction that the Dodge is the only car that will stand up under the strain of roadless desert and do every- thmg %e Rrit^of it. The Dodge and I went through some thrilling and extraordinary adventures together. For one things I believe I can say truthfully that I am the only man in the world who ever shot a mountain sheep from the seat of a motor car. I was able to do it be cause, apparently, the sheep was so astounded to see such a r.trange crea ture as a motor car in its rocky do main that it forgot to rug away. It happened one day while I was driving my Dodge up and down a series of steep ridges in. the Altai Mountains. Everybody knows that the mountain sheep is about the most timid creature in the world. Bagging one of them is a rare event, for the hunter must be, not only a mountain climber of rare ability, but an except ional shot. When I first saw the one that I got it was standing on a point of rock high above me. Stopping the car, I grabbed my rifle, expecting to see the sheep go -bounding away. In stead, the sheep, astounded and curi ous, took a few steps ahead to get a better view of this strange creature that had invaded its fastness. It stood motionless in full view, and I brought it down at the first shot.

The gravelly crystals form ih the funnel- like cavity at the point where drain age starts from the kidney. If they are washed down this small canal, the rough concretions produce agoniz- ing pain, requiring the most powerful agencies at our command to relieve it, and if complicated, even the surgeon may be needed to save life!
