Dodge Brothers Had Every
Confidence in the Future

Back OF the interesting manner IN
which Dodge Brothers introduced their
new car to the public and entered the
lists as full-hedged automobile manu-
| ifacturers, Is a story OF unlimited faith
in the future of the automobile indus
try that has seldom had parallel.
Just ten years ago Dodge Brothers
received an order from one or the
pioneer Detroit companies, then tast-
ing its first measure of success, for
1900 Transmission sets, including
gears completely assembled. This
was the first really large order placed
with a parts manufacturer in the his
tory of the industry. The factory or
these two master mechanics OF that
day was "a one-story affair covering
less than an acre of floor space, and
200 men were employed. With the
profits from this and other orders OF
rapidly increasing size, the small parts
manufacturers decided to expand
More room was required and larger
quarters were secured.
In 1918 Dodge Brothers. factory
consisted of close to twenty acres OF
floor space, and the vital parts for
over 200, 900 motor cars were turned
out within twelve months. And the
business grew TO a point where II
involved contracts amounting to mil
lion and half dollars per month. To

these proportions to embark as manu-
facturers of an automobile to be sold
under their own name, called for con-
fidence and a belief in the future of
the automobile industry that has sell
dom been equalled in any line of en-
deavor. Before any part of the pub
lie were acquainted with their inten-
tions. Dodge Brothers issued orders
for building 1 900 feet long and four
stories high. They knew that to sue
cessfully market a new motor-car pro-
duction in quantities was absolutely
necessary. So a building was erected.
big enough, as one architect described
it, ito assemble all the motor cars
made in America" The next year of
additional floor space for further parts
production, was needed. Again the
architects were called in, orders were
issued. and another building, 400 feet
long, a feet wide, and four stories
high. is now nearing completion.
Here then is an investment close to
two millions in buildings alone. made
before a single car was turned out.
Another half million dollars worth
of machinery has been added without
disturbing the work-a-day functions
of the organization.

Another milk case that is scheduled
is the prosecution against Harvey S.
Bomberger and a Palmyra farmer,
John Funk. Funk's farm, it is charg-

for foot and mouth disease and a re-
quirement of the regulations is that
nothing shall be taken off the farm.
The farmer, however through the urg-
ing of Bomberger, it is alleged, sent
some of the milk from his dairy to
DIR. George r. Moffitt, city bacteriolo-
gist, to be tested. The milk was found
to be pure but the fact that the pro-
duct had been taken from a quarantine
ed farm caused the arrest of Bonn

Lett and the King.

In any list of prolific authors men
ton should be made of Gregorio Lett,
who settled in England in 1850, on the
strength Of a promise made by Charles
II. to appoint him royal historiogra-
pher. Lett was then able to boast that
In twenty years he had produced twen-
ty historical works and become the
father of twenty children. II hear you
are writing history Of my court"
Charles once remarked to Lett. "Take
care that your work give no ofense."
II will do what can, SIRE" said Lett,
"but if a man were as wise as Solomon
he would scarce be able to avoid CIV
ing some offense."
"Why, then" rejoined the merry
monarch, "be as wise as Solomon;
write proverbs, not histories. "-London

Constitutional Government.

BY constitutional government" Is
meant the government that has checks
imposed upon it by written Tor un-
written) constitution or charter. The
United States and England and France
and various other countries are "con-
stitutional' in this sense, whereas Rus
STA and one or two other countries are
unconstitutional because Of the alb
sence Of the above mentioned checks,
the will Of the car, ETC., being practi-
cally supreme.-New York American.

SIGNS OF RAIN.
Simple Things That Tell Us When .
Storm 10 Brewing.

Simple Things That Tell us When .
Storm 10 Brewing.
On the subject Of predicting rain, Rol-
lin Lynde HART in the Woman's Home
Companion writes in part as follows:
There are plenty Of soundly scien-
tific weather signs that are right be-
fore our eyes and vouched for by the
best meteorologists. For instance, the
ring around the MOON which is pro-
duced by thin, filmy cloud made up
of minute particles Of ice-a state OF
things not built to last. Either some
unlocked for commotion will put stop
to it in different manner, or 1t Will
pour cats and dogs within three days
at most. In eighty-six cases out of
hundred the rule holds good. A still
better sign is the ring around the SUM-
"This is science, pure and simple, and
so is the old maxim: The farther the
sight the nearer the rain 1t is not
pessimism that makes people along the
coast predict a downpour when they
can pick out the separate houses on
faraway island, or people in mountain
GUS regions call it too good to last
when distant peak, generally invisi-
BILE, comes into view. They are shrewd
meteorologists in making these pre-
dictions, and also in declaring that
sounds carry better when rainstorm
is brewing.
"Of all nice, convincing weather
signs, however, 'sickening sky is
pretty nearly the most reliable. When
the deep warm blue grows paler, and
then whitish, and your spirits drop. and
shadows fray at the edges and disap-
pear, then you have sickening sky.
Rain is not being brought up ready
made from afar. it is being manufac-
tured directly overhead.
1.-THE color Of the sky, then, is fair
ly trustworthy sign in and Of itself,
and so is the color of the clouds. In
tensely white clouds against an in
tensely blue sky mean bright weather
ahead. Grayish clouds on a lightish
blue foretell rain"

PRESSURE OF SHELLS
CAUSES QUICK DEATH
One Of Wars Mysteries Scisn-
titIca||y Explained.

Paris.-It has often been told how
soldiers have been found dead, struck
down apparently in an instantaneous
death, without any outward sign or
wound, 1t is now explained that the
sudden variation Of atmospheric pres
sure caused by the bursting of French
high explosive shells is sufficient to
cause instantaneous passing from life
to death.
This was discovered by an officer
who observed the peculiar behavior OF
an aneroid barometer In room near
where a big shell had burst. 1t was
seen that the barometer was thrown
out of gear, and the only conclusion
that could be arrived at was that
sudden depression had caused an alb
normal swelling Of the metallic case
and displaced the levers. Reproducing
in laboratory the conditions necessa-
~ to have the same effect, 1t was
found that reduction of pressure OF
1873 inches in mercury was required
for the purpose, corresponding to an
air velocity Of 905 feet second.
The sudden depressions caused by
bursting shells may be compared with
what is observed in the case Of a man
who, after being subjected to pres
sure of many atmospheres in a diving
bell, is too rapidly brought back to a
normal pressure. A sudden depression
brings about an escape Of the gases
contained in the human blood In the
small arteries. The series of little bub-
bles thus formed produces a capillary
pressure antagonistic to that of the
heart, and death ensues by stoppage
of the circulation of the blood and as.
nhyxiation. for the return to primitive

An Atrocity.

Captain Won Altheim was quartered
with his lieutenant of reserves-a col
lege professor in civil life-in the house
Of a Polish priest who had no living
language to his tongue but Polish and
Russian. The captain rubbed up the
dusty memories Of his own school days
and made shift to converse with his
reverend host in Latin. Afterward he
asked his comrade what he thought OF
the performance. The ex-professor's
expression Of pain was hardly dimmed
by the thickness of his spectacles.

rors of war;" he said resignedly.-New
