The writer says he had a look at himself in a mirror, the first time for over a month. He had set out with the idea of a six or eight daya!. coach, and bad been on the tramp in the bush for over a fortnight in Central Africa. armed only with a walking stick. His boots were full of holes and badly worn, but as there was only a food supply depot at Songes, he was unable to get a new issue of clothing, but some of the fellows there gave him some spare kit.

A Great Development
The great Willys-Overland factories a veritable industry in themselves-have played a leading part in the development of the motor car business.

The greatest and latest Willys-Overland development now offers to the world a com- prehensive range of models built by one cr ganization.
This is the most advanced step in the in dustry. It means greater economies; better motor cars at relatively lower prices.
This applies particularly to the Overland. Big Four-cylinder touring car, finished in a rich brown, and to the Light Four touring car, finished in a beautiful gray.
