The total travel into the park was 144,158 persons as compared with 138,- 352 persons in the season of 1923. That the motor car and the highway are the preferred means of reaching this great national playground is indicated by the fact that 100,186 persons entered the park by automobile as against 41,- 054 persons who entered it by rail.

The increasing demand for Ford prcd- | ¢ ucts in Europe has made it necessary to open a new Ford plant at Stockholm, al- though a year ago all this territory was handled by the Copenhagen plant. A similar situation prevailed in Holland | where Ford business increased so rapidly that the Antwerp plant could no longer take care of it and Rotterdam got a new Ford factory of its own.

"If it is necegsary to run the engine for any lengthy period, as in making repairs or adjustments, the car should by all means be run into the open, and even then the direct exhaust should be avoided in order to decrease the possibility of headache and discomfort. "The public has become so accus- tomed to seeing men working about engines which are running and to breathing exhaust gas in low concen- i trations, that it has become more or i less indifferent to its dangers," the statement continues. oe people have regarded. or Evergreens Shrubs Roses .

These show that this is the biggest year the Ford Motor company has ever enjoyed in the foreign field. Although the reports cover only nine | months of the year the sales of Ford units--cars, trucks and tractors--are al- ready close to the record for the entire year 1923. From january i to October 1, 1924, the sale of Ford products over- seas amounted to 138,291 cars and trucks and 10,303 Fordson tractors. ures do not include the production of the Ford Motor Car company of Canada, Ltd., which supplies to all parts of the British empire except the British isles. If truck sales are any barometer of economic conditions then foreign com- merce is coming back rapidly for the January to October sales have run over 13,000 ahead of the entire year's record of 1923.
