Outlaw Cabin in Nevada Turned Into Radio Church TOXOPAH, Kev. In the hills near the new gold camp of Gilbert, 35 miles from here, is an old stone structure known as the tjutlaw's Cabin. It has stood for 50. years or more. Many; tales areC told of this rendevoas of the desperadoes who once infested" the desert coun try. It was here theyt gathered to plan ; their stag i hold-ups and periodic." raids on the- scattered settlements--or to divide the booty, an occasion that often end ed in a bloody fight. 'Many bullet scars in . the ' walls and dark streaks on the fioor testify to the former character of the place. Recently the name of the cabin was changed to the Radia hurch.4 The discoveries of gold n the sur rounding hills lately, bringing a stampede of prospectors, provided a new use for the old landmark.

Henderson, "mineral geographer of the United Ctates Geological sur vey, points out that even a mount ain cannot engage in "galloping" without pausing to "catch ; its breath." ; He believes that ,, the .''moving mountain" on the high way between Meeker and Rifle, Colo., may be resting for another slide Into the -Rio Blanco valley, A number of large cracks have appeared across the base of the mountain, and' this, according to Henderson, indicates that the base of the peak is weakening. If this base, a stratum of sandstone, gives -way. the mountain is expect ed to slip farther into the.. valley. Geologists" attribute the move ment of the mountain partly to a "physical amputation" of ils base, made' for the. construction of the highway.

The traffic superintendent is sued a regulation a few Weeks ago prohibiting the riding on top of passenger cars, but newspaper comment says enforcement is im possible until better service is fur nished. The' crowds on some trains crawl in through the car windows in the free-for-all stamp ede for standing room. Growth of the Rio suburbs is principally j due to high rentals forcing clerks and laborers out of .the city. ? . This movement has been stim ulated by the suburban railroad rates, said to be the cheapest in the world. The ticket both ways to one of the villages, located at the. end of the suburban zone , a round trip of 30 miles, costs five cents. ; RUTH FACTORY: OUTPUT LARGE Hl'GE PKODUCTIOX OP WILLYS OVEKL.XI PL.

English Climate Ravages . Records of Early Greece OXFORD. Eng. English damp and coal smoke, .which have been so destructive of all ancient stone monuments and inscribed -stones imported from Egypt, Asia Minor and," the East, are gradually but surely defacing the fine Attic let tering of fine Parian Chronicle, the key to the Greek Chronology. This block of white marble was set up in the Island of Paros about 203 B. C, apparently by some private patron of poetry and the arts.' The opening Inscription, together with the lower right hand corner, has been chip ped away and lost, but lines 46 to 93iWhich remain form a fairly complete chronological table of what the carver of this marble considered to "be the chief events in Greek history between 15S2 and 264 B.

I've noticed that since I switdhed to that new Zerolene 'F' for Fords she runs like a clock and seems to have a bit more power too." . Zerolene "F" for Fords, the new Stand ard Oil Company lubricant developed especially for Fords, gets to all the bear ings requiring lubrication especially the wrist-pin bearings and the upper half of the cylinder walls that are frequently oil starved when an unsuitable lubricant is used. Zerolene "F" for Fords is made by the Standard Oil Company's patented vacuum process. It deposits a minimum of carbon, and because it lubricates better, enables the engine to develop a considerable mar gin of power over and above what you're accustomed to expect from your Ford. And it costs not more, but less than most of the special Ford oils now on the market. A Ford is an A-l transportation invest ment. Protect your, investment by proper lubrication.
