Chicago.-At lecture given before

of experiments extending over four

show that the wild plant is not al

have been transferred from one place
to another, and the results OF the cul-

have now been compiled.
In these experiments plants from the
mountain tops, some from a height of
close to one and one-half miles above
sea level, were found to grow much
more luxuriantly, producing more
leaves, flowers and fruits at sea level
than they had in their native habitat.
These plants were not cultivated, pro-
tocted or fOstered in any way In their
new situations. Once placed, they
were to all intents and purposes wild

 Contracts were considered from the viewpoint of clauses that would strengthen the dealer with his banker and h-s customer. On the problem of used cars it was agreed that a general investigation should be made into the used car situation by the national or ganizations.
 Sectional advertising for the. bene- fit of the dealers, a closer and more frequent survey of Tarts, stocks ana a broadening of service plans for all users of cars and trucks were deemed necessary for the dealers success.

NASH FIRST INTO
 TAHOE COUNTRY

Joe McAleer has just received word of one of the unscheduled events in motordom that has just come to close in the announcement of the ar rival of the first motor car to cross the summit of the Sierra by way of the Placerville road and check in to Tellac at Lake Tahoe
 This coveted achievement of mo- torists went to a crew plotting a Nash six five-passenge car. The story of this record making trip is a narrative that extends over a period of seven days marked with the most grueling test to driver and car ever recorded in the West
 According to Ted O'Day, the pilot on the car, and one of the popular members of the Nash sales organiza- tIon, nothing short of a determina- tion to stick at the job at all costs enabled the men and the car to get through to their destination.
 After passing Strawberry and at tas sing the Slippery Ford grade snow tos the depth ranging from two to fzGeet obstructed the passage of the car all of the way to the summit One of the best evidences of the severe test to which the car was sub jected was the fact that it required two days to cover a distance of five miles between Strawberry and Phil lips.
