Imagine my surprise when I | went out to get it and found a tree growing from the engine. I telephoned immediately for auto- mobile and tree experts to solve the mystery, After a thorough investi. gation we figured out how it had happened, There was so much dirt in the cylinders and on top of the engine that a seed, falling from a nearby tree, had taken root and grown into a healthy elm. As I couldn't remove the roots of | the tree without dynamiting the car, I was forced to trim the branches so that I could at leas. see ahead when driving. To date a crow, two eagles, and seventeen robins have built\nests in the tree--all of which goes to prove what a wonder- ful car a Ford is for the money! As this seemed to me quite a novel ex- perience, I thought your readers might be interested. ~--Karl Jannsenn. Too t Mrs. Blackstone: "Bertha boasts that she never quarrels with her hus- band."
