A most overworked automobile
groaned its "weight" into Los An
geles recently. It carried what Is
called perhaps the largest part
of Kan sans ever to migrate from
that state. There were but six in
the party and they are all mem
bers of one family! -
J. T. West, Mrs. West and their
two sons. Leonard and Bernard,
constitute what one might call the
bulk of the party. Leonard, 17
years old and still growing, weighs
Just slightly more than 400
pounds and is a mite over six feet
tall: A five-foot tap falls to
circle' hts walet, ' which measures
62 inches or .still T did; as he
reached Los Angeles. His thigh
measures 44 inches. i
'Bernard. hls 15-year-old broth

well, thank you. - He weighed in
at ' 312 pounds on arrival and is
five feet 11 inches tali. '

"It la Interesting to speculate
how they all got Into their '70
two door sedan, xnueed one of
the Chrysler representatives.
"There's only one way ivcould be
done. Father and mother or tne
two boys rode in either the front
or rear seata and the, two young
sters roamed at large In whatever
space. If any. was left. Where they
put the luggage, except on the
running boards,' is beyond me.
The car stood the trip remark
ably well. Mr. West said it aver-
aged 21 miles per gallon of gaso
line and used only four Quarts of
oil in crossing half the continent.
There were no mishaps despite the;
staggering load. Even the tire,

good work. She weighs 40. ' That

oldest members.
"We all came through in' the
Chrysler,' Mr.' West affirmed. J'lt
