As Good As It Looks |
A glance at this beautifully proportioned two
passenger four-cylinder roadster is an invitation
to get behind the wheel.
The speed and power suggested by its graceful
lines and low-hung body are fully realized on
the open road. And its ease of manipulation \
and instant response to the throttle insure un- \
usually satisfactory behavior in traffic.
It is roomy and comfortable for two people.
It contains every convenience for easy, restful
motoring in any weather.

WARM WEATHER IS
MELTING GLACIERS
TACOMA, Maim., March 10.—
With much cold weal her, snow and
ice on Puget Sound this winter,
many old timers are declaring that
the climate is becoming more scveVe.
But their memory is failing them,'
in the opinion of those who keep
precise figures on weather conditions,
and Puget Sound, if anything, is be
coming warmer year by year.
One of the best reasons for the!
declaration that the weather Is be-'
coming warmer is that the glaciers
on Mt. Rainier are slowly receding.!
It is known that Nisrjually Glacier
has receded 760 feet since Lieut.
A. V. Kauti! of the United States I
Army visited it in 1857 and left his!
mark. In 1021 this glacier retreated]
106 feet, and In recent years thcl
average recession has been fifty feet I
a year.
Raymond P. Tarr, local geologist,'
who has studied the glacier, says!
the annual retreat is due to warmer
weather or a decline in moisture.
The rainfall figures for the last
twenty-five years indicate no dint-!
unitlon of moisture, so that an in
crease of temperature, averaging
only six tenth of a degree per year,
is held responsible for the melting
of the great glacier.
