These demonstrated that it is
extremely doubtful , if I the. time
saved by hurrying and exceeding
the speed limit pays for the extra

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.
Every Sunday evening it is filled
with those who listen 4n on. a ser
mon, delivered several hundred
miles away, r J : l'-- . .
. Some of the grizzled old-timers
are a bit bewildered at the rapid
march of progress, but gradually
they" are becoming used to radio
talks and concerts in remote places
to prospecting with an automobile
instead of with a string of burros.
CONGESTED TRAFFIC
motor car into a parking space,
regardless of tits size, and leav
ing it ' there, forcing traffic to
j,turn out for the rear end, is one
"that should be' discouraged. .
,
In parking always assume that
there may come" autime when the
man ahead or the man behind
may want to move his car. Give'
aim plenty of room.
The Automobile Trade Journal
has been telling its readers of the
possible uses of arcades and over
passes -as a means of reducing
traffic congestion.

Moving Mountain Pauses
in Slide Toward Valley
"DENVERi Colo. Charles W.
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. Thi5 slicing of I the
peak's toe apparently upset, if
equilibrium, they say.

ber consisted of 1,000,000 living
in the city of Rio de Janeiro, and
4 4 0,000 in suburbs, most of them
located on the" principal railwaj
which connects with the city of
Fad-'Paulo. ; Although the road
furnishes ten minute train service
for the suburbs during the rust
hours, the size of the crowds has
caused a serious transportation
problem.
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

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

round trip of 30 miles, costs five

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
