versity of Utah officials term the
recent expedition to Salt Lake City
from the Jensen, Utah, fossil quar-
ries of 25 horse-drawn wagons load
ed with the remains of prehistoric
animals which are to be assembled
in the museum of the institution.
Millions of years ago these mons
tiers roamed the earth and, with
their addition, the university hopes
ito have one of the most complete
museums in the country.
In addition to the complete head
of a carnivorous dinosaur, a rarity
of inestimable value, the bones
ready for shipment are those of a
brontosaurus, ceratosaurus, stego-
saurus and diplodacus.
Plans call for each wagon to be
loaded with approximately 2,5o0
pounds of bones. In all the total
weight of the bones to be transport
ed is estimated at $4,000 pounds.
For some time University Of Utah
workers under the direction of DR..
Earl Douglass of the Carnegie Mu-
scum of Pittsburgh, Pa, have labor
ed to secure the specimens. Win
great industry they have chisled the
bones from the sandstone, coated
them with a concrete preparatloh

Nineteen twenty.three was a
banner year for the automobile in

Of cars. Coming after the year
1922, which showed a remarkable
Improvement over the "off year,
1921. the increase in automobile
business during 1928 Is even more

"Studebaker's record is making
1923 its banner year with the sale
OF more than 145,162 cars follows
series OF phenomenal sales records.
Each year for the past six years
Studebaker sales have greatly ex-
ceeded those Of the previous year"
students Of statistics will recall
the story that 1921 told. In that
year the sales of Studebaker cars
were 29.4 per cent greater than in
I'm 1922. therefore, studebaker
mad the showing of a record year
to surpass and plans were laid for
a production Of 100000 cars, as
compared with 66,64S in 1921. Even
with this learge increase in produc-
I1OuS at HO CIIn0 was SLuOeDaker
able to supply the demand for its
cars. 11O,269 cars were produced
and sold during 1922, an increase Of
IS per cent over 1921 which up to
that time was the greatest year in
the history of Studebaker."
"The increasing demand for
Studebaker cars continued in 1928.
BY the end of August, the 1922 rec.
ord was exceeded, and by Decem-
Der 81 Studebaker sales had passed

dangers Of overcharging an automo.

there is much more damage actually

THE ideal conditions under which

Mr.. Mackey, ''are those in which
the input Of current from the gener-

amount OF current consumed In
