DODGE CARS ECONOMICAL.

Detroit Free Press: The report
of the department Of public works on
the individual maintenance cost OF
81 automobiles operated by the de-
partment shows the Dodge Brothers
motor car operated by Mr.. John
Dunn was the most economically
driven car in the department. The
statistics include every expense in
Cured by the cars from July l, 1915,
to December l, 1915, gasolene, oil,
repair cost, tire expense, ETC., and
show that Mr.. Dunn's car was operas-
ed at the low cost of exactly two
cents per mile.
The five Dodge Brothers cars used
in the department also are -.ven
several records which place them az
the top of the low maintenance rec
ords. Not one of the 81 used in the
department was run for the six
months at lower cost per mile than
any one OF the five Dodge Brothers
cars. They also showed the highest
mileage, the lowest expense on tires
and the greatest mileage per gallon
OF gasoline Of any touring car in the
department.
Three of the Dodge cars were OPP
Grated for the six months without
any expense on tire. On the other
two cars of this make the only tire
expense was for the replacement OF
spare tires which were stolen from
the machine.
The report shows many interesting
comparisons of the maintenance cost
of automobiles which range in cost
from two cents a mile for the Dodge
Brothers car to 81 cents q mile for
one of the heavy duty trucks.
Such figures are interesting to
motor car owners and to prospec-
tive buyers of motor cars" said Mar
tin Woldum of the Woldum Motor
Car Co., local distributors for Dodge
Brothers cars.
I'm these days of the high cost
OF gasoline every one is looking for
car that can be operated economi-
cally but it is seldom You can find
any owner who can tell you the ex-
act cost per mile for the operation OF
his car. Such Dodge Brothers own
ors who have recorded the expenses
for their cars have found them ex-
ceedingly low and that they were get
ting unusually high mileage on gal
lon of gasoline"

SOMETHING ABOUT MAY.
(By observer.

Just where or how the month of
May derived its name is not easily
determined. What is regarded as au-
thority, however, says the name orig
mated from the word Mairoes, the
senate in the original constitution of
Rome. The old version that May
was named in honor of Maia, mother
of Hermes, is now said to be erroI l..
eous and was merely surmised be-
cause of the similarity OF the two
names.
With the exception of Decoration
Day, on the 30th, the month is with
out holiday day or a day given spe-
cial Importance either by tradition
or history. Up until half century
ago, the opening day of the month
was almost universally observed as
"May Day, when outdoor festivals
were held, and when a May pole was
the central attraction. On the eve
ming before May 1st.. baskets of flow
ers were distributed from friend -
friend, the distribution generally
being in secret. The baskets were
left on the door steps after night
had fallen.
There are different versions of the
origin of Decoration Day. Tradition
has it that German soldier who,
coming to this country at the time
the Civil War broke out, enlisted.
After the war was over he remarked
that in Germany it was customary TO
scatter the flowers on the graves of
soldiers once a year. This is sup
posed to be the origin of Decoration
Day In May, 1868, Adj. Gen. Nj. r.
Shipman suggested this custom to
Gen. Logan of the G.. A. r. who i'm
mediately issued an order in winch
he named the 30th day of May, 1868
the purpose of strewing with
flowers or otherwise decorating the
graves of comrades who died in de-
Tense of their country and whose bo-
dies lie in almost every city, village,
or hamlet churchyard in the land"
