More than 100 petrified trees are still standing-, just as they grew origin ally. " Little has been written about this forest on account of its inaccessibility. , The unique forest covers" several hundred acres. The ground is strewn with the fossilized bones of animals, and here and there are small coves. The entrance to the forest is through a small canyon which widens into a river bed which, in design, reminds one somewhat of the Orand Canyon. William Gomm, of ..

To that end, a truck announced last year has several unusual tea tures. The Federal-Knight truck manufactured j 'exclusively' by the Federal Motor! Truck Company of Detroit, is the only standard truck now on the market that boasts a Willys-Knight sleeve-valve motor In a specially constructed chassis - 'For fourteen years the Willys Knight motor has been turning our records of performance and endurance in the i hands of pleas ure car owners that have proven to be revelations.j , These sleeve valve motors, better I at ; 25,000 miles than when new and improv ing ' steadily with use,! have ' been the source of a; wealth. of favor able comment, jj Sleeve-valves eli minate 164 motor parts of the poppet type, do not collect carbon, remove the annoyance of clicking and noisy tappets, and time after time have demonstrated a fine running motorj at jfrom E0, 000 to 400,000 miles. They have proven themselves to be a standard ' of quality. -.; r Y j ; h , Now, with the acquisition by the Federal Motor Truck Company of the, right to use a Willis-Knight j sleeve-valve motor in their pro duct, truck owners can purchase this same motor of fine perform ance, long service I and ieconoml cal upkeep.

'"The solitary rift on ber domestic sea i the fct that her husband, who is English born, has neglected to be naturalized hence ' she Isn't an American citizen and can't vote.

She reads Russian. French, German and English Indiscriminately. There's" a select little group of friends who, on rare occasions, are afforded the treat of hearing her read aloud. When she has a novel In her bands the artiste acts it. translating the emotions of ber characters, through gestures and vocal modulations,: Just as if she - were : giving a per formance on the stage. And so Nazlmova keeps : young. An emotion a day keeps the wrin kles away. ; ... ... i . : FOR ECONOMY, LONG LIFE Kinds or Highways quality of Federal products long on . the market. With this new combination of r the i sleeve-valve j motor and a specialy constructed .chassis of specially pressed steel, equipped with high test forglngs instead of the older type of cast ings, a remarkably short steering radius ofj 23 feet, the prospective truck owner has something that j more than fills his needs. Combining the - assets of . a speedy f- truck, designed to 'give quick delivery service; plus a max imum of load, the Federal-Knight presents an- equivalent in value unusual to. the market. I Economically the new product is a wonder. In a recent and ex- hausive test over : all kinds of roads, the new truck was loaded and driven for a test of its gaso line consumption. Onlokers were astonished when ! an average of more than seventeen miles to the gallon was recorded. ! In addition, the . Willys-Kn'ght sleeve-valve motor is noted .'the world over for Its lability to be 24 hours in service and, to stay out of the repair shop.

Plans are now being; formulated which, it is expected, I will greatly increase truck sales during the present year and may place Chev rolet in second position for 1923. There were nearly 24,000, Chev rolet, trucks! sold last year. These included, both the commercial chassis and utility express types, the greater portion sold, however, being of the latter style. , An analysis of 1924, R. H. Grant, ; vlce4presldent and general sales manager asserts' shows that farmers, dairymen, stock raisers. oil dealers and urban business re quiring medium weight .delivery car were among the1 larger buyers' of the utility express. fA consider able number also were used ,'fof school busses. ! The utility express has the reg- u 1 a r Chevrolet valve-In-head motor but is constructed heavier at j various points to I conform to tne requirements or j a speeay, easily Operated truck of one-ton capacity. It has exceptionally heavy? Femi-elliptic springs in the rear. I The ! driving pinion and shaft , are integral to eliminate any chance of back lash. Gears are , specially heat! treated and there is a special bevel gear drive at the rear axle. The frame is Of heavy channel steel, t ' well ; supported by five sturdy cross members. Extra large brakes are - Used with an automatic brake- equalizer. The transmission and disc clutch in troduced on the new 1925 passen ger cars are used on the utility express."
