colors, blue in distance but nearer they
are brown, light brown, middle brown,
and dark brown with green sides and
lysante tops which makes them quite
as if they were lighted by the sun;
and in the afternoon in quiet weather
they are almost lost in a heavy dis
tance, which makes them enchanting,
We have clear streams which come
from the mountains and brown
streams which come from the glaciers;
great and diverse water falls which are
one of the greatest beauties in Ice
land. Next time I will send you pic
tures of some .of them. In Iceland
there are glaciers in here with cover
ings. both in winter and summer, and
it is very difficult to journey over them
because of their precipitionsness and
deep clefts, and sometimes because ol
the streams which are only bridged in
the cultured parts of Iceland. They
are brown heaths with green matts,
There are also woods yet there are few
of them. Before there were many;
the country was almost covered with
wood from the mountains to the sea;
but the inhabitants burned them, now
they have done much to cultivate them
again. There are great and small
ponds, and the largest of them is
Hingvallavatu in the southern of
Iceland. I will also send you a picture
of it. Before people in Iceland es
pecially used horses to draw their
' carriages, carry their loads ,and for
riding, and to they were the most
useful animals because then the ways
were very bad. Later came automo
biles. At first no one dared to travel
with them, but soon the bravest made
up their mind to run the risk, and now
there are a great many automobiles in
the whole country; that is to say in
the inhabited part of it, Iceland is not
inhabited all over. In the middle of
it there are great inhabitable parts.
We also have motor cycles and bi
cycles. I and my brother have bicy
cles and we use them now because here
is no snow' and the streets are dry.
In last summer we got a little aero
plane from Deutschland and was ex
penally used by tourists (not xoretgn.j
Next summer we are going to have
one. and I am very glad for it, and
hope to travel with it next summer.
In summer there come many tourists
to see our small country from U.S. A.,
England. Deutchland, and many other
countries, but they remain here so
short time that they only see very lit
tle of Iceland. They buy very much
Icelandic things; dolls in native dTess.
and many others.
You asked it we used sleighs and
dogs here in winter, but we don’t use
them at all because there is not enough
snow here, and we always can use au
tomobiles, at least in the southern
part of Iceland; in the northern part
H is colder and they perhaps some
times use sleighs and horses, but never
dogs Winter is not cold here and
summer not very warm. Yet last
summer they say was cloudless for
weeks, and we had somethimes 38 to
99 degrees. Now there has been quiet
weather here for a very long time,
and we are very surprised when we
read in newspapers that there is a
great deal of snow and cold in the
southern part of Europe, and the ninny
people die with cold, also In America.
The pond in Reykjavik which I have
described before is not iced so we are
not able to skate. Our sports in win
ter are skating, sleigh riding, we run
in skies, swimming both in summer and
winter in a swimming bath which ns
a little outside of Reykjavik but is only
a little refreshing walk. In summer
we dance, and usually much more In
winter, ride in the country on our
Icelandic ponies, we haw coasting, ten
nis. golf, foot-hall, hase-ball and we
sometimes play picket, and ascent
mountains. We travel in the country
with automobiles, on foot, and with
tents on our blcyclies, and when there
are manv aeroplanes in the little dear
Iceland I think they will be much used
to travel with. Mv father Is a teacher

THE CHEVROLET SIXES
SHOW LARGE PRODI'CTTON
Assurance that Chevrolet’s position
as "world’s largest builder of auto
mobiles’’ will be sustained again this
vear, is contained in official production
figures which give 106,914 passenger
car and truck units as output for the
first 46 days production on the new
sizes. This figure not only eclipses
all previous records of manufacturers
of six cylinder cars, but actually ex
ceeds the entire year’s output of any
other manufacturer during the first
year.
The figures ns revealed by W. S.
Knudsen, president of the compnny
date from December 16th to February
1st. January production was R6.17R.
meaning that 20,736 units were pro
duced the last two weeks of December.
A highlight of this remarkable 46
day production record was the manu
facture, January 31, of 6.729 cars.
This was peak for any dav during the
period and can be regarded ns an in
dication that February would find all
Chevrolet’s mammoth productive fa
cilities geared to meet maximum quo
tas. Chevrolet’s peak day as a pro
ducer of sixes does not compare un
favorably with the company’s all time
record for a single dav. which occur
red May 23. 192R, when 7 076 four
cylinder units were produced.
Further comnnrison with last year
shows that production this January is
onlv 6 406 units less than January
1923, despite numerous handicaps in
cident to a changeover as hugh ns
Chevrolet effected successfully last
fall. And it is 12,602 in excess of
January, 1927, when 73,676 four cyl
inder units were turned out. Last
fall’s turnover involved 20 widely scat
tered plants, and called for an entire
ly new set of machine tools, patterns
and dies. Replacement began while
the company still was engaged in
tensively in volume production of last
year’s four cylinder car—an achieve
ment, which for speed and efficiency,
has never been surpassed in the in
dustry.
Some interesting statistics relative
to the turnover were recalled last week
by Mr. Knudsen, who declared that the
Flint Motor plant manufactured 12,006
motors, an average of better than
1,000 per working day, between No
vember 15th, when the six cylinder an.
nouncement was made, and December
1. During December, he related, 60,
000 motors were produced, an average
of better than 2,000 a day.
All of which would seem to indicate
that Chevrolet was well fortified when
it made and kept its promise of de
liveries January 1, six weeks from the
time the new car was announced.
Production this year calls tentatively
for 1,250,000 units. Several import
ant expansions, completed during the
past 12 months, have increased the
company’s annual capacity hy 250,000.
Last year Chevrolet outlined a pro
duction program calling for 1,000,000
cars, and actually surpasser this quota
by 200,000 in a little more than 10
months time.
