...good, old days anyone interested in such a non-frilled service car could turn to the Chevrolet or Ford. Now there is no such car, unless one take to a truck! True, the new cars are sturdy and durable-upon the paved highway. But get them out into the unpaved, unimproved roads which we seek both for pleasure and for scientific purposes, and which still exist in abundance (and we hope will still be there for a long time to come) in our western States, and we would be stuck, literally...
...high strung, Sculptor Lachaise finds emotional relief in modeling monstrous female figures with breasts like melons, hips like hills. Prize piece in last week's show was a 2,000 Ib. female figure in moulded concrete known as The Mountain (see cut). Seven men and a three-ton truck worked from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. to get it to the museum.

Instead the red-and-gold burgee of the combined fleet's commodore flew from the main truck of a little (20,000 tons) old (1921) ship called Samaria. Only reason that vessel flew the commodore's flag was because Commodore Robert G. Malin, a quiet man, liked little ships better than big ones, liked the Samaria best...
