French forests are so numerous and
the woods Of French colonies are so
illimitable, that wood, for them, is

coal burners are already so numerous
that they can supply their product for
as many automobiles as will use 1t

Secretary Hoover's scare about Pc
troleum, is the real reason why saw

The Berliet factory is In Lyon. In
that territory it Is running Its omni-
buses for the general public. 1t uses
wood gazogen.
A four-ton truck of the same sys-
tenn burns 200 pounds Of wood In a
50.nlile trip, costing Is francs, or less
than so cents at present exchange
rates.
The complete gazogen attachment
with cleaner, mixer and gas-transnis-
sion tubes, weighs $50 pounds, and
When burning wood there Is only dust
in cleaning out the ashes. Ordinary
charcoal gives out dust when filling
one reason why pressed charcoal or
wood block Is used by some firms.
But there Is no Gust from gazogen on
the road--no more than smoke from
a good petroleum car.
The heater holds wood or charcoal
enough for a run Of so miles. 1t is
strong iron, with no refractory coat
ing to break, and the transmission
tubes have no complications---only
two nut screws for taking apart.
With these gazogens Berliet fits up
his small one-ton motor trucks for
common farm and factory work.

Spectators at the Pasadena Rose

Coach Wallace Wade could have

forced to keep his most versatile
player out protecting one of the
wings.
But when the Tide has the ball
this dashing young blonde, who
looks like Ted Shipkey of Stanford
for weight, stature and general
makeup, races into the backficld
and takes the ball. What he is
going to do with it is Alabama 8
greatest deceptive.
Winslett is considered the best
passer in the south and carries the
ball around ends and smashes the
line with remarkable success, despite
his 168 pounds. SO. i'll reality,
Winslett is an end and almost an en-
tire baekficld at the same time. He
does everything the back position
calls for except kick.
When Winslctt dashcs in from end
to backficld one of the regular
backs goes over to cover his flank.
Winslett is 22 years old. He rose
to fame only this year. His first
two years at Alabama were spent
on the "goof' squad. During that
time no one rated him as much.
