DODGE CARS SERVE
PUBLIC WORKS HERE
AT LEAST EXPENSE
Records Kept Show Dodge Broth
ers Machines Do Miles at
Two Cents Flat.

The report Of the department
Of public works on the individual
maintenance cost of 81 automo-
biles operated by the department
shows the Dodge Brothers motor
car operated by Mr.. John Dunn
was the most economically driven
car in the department. Though
statistics include every expense
incurred by the cars from July l,
1915, to December l, 1915, gaso-
line, oil, repair cost, tire expense,
etc, and show that Mr.. Dunn s
car was operated at the low cost
OF exactly two cents a mile.
The five Dodge Brothers cars
used in the department also are
given several records which place
them at the top of the low MAIN
tenance records. Not one of the
81 used in the department was
run for the six months at a low
err cost per mile than any one Of
the 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
operated for the six months with
out any expense on tires. On the
other two cars of this make the
only tire expense was for the re-
placement of spare tires which
were stolen from the machine.
The report shows many inter-
esting comparisons of the main
tenance cost of automobiles
which range in cost for two cents
a mile for the Dodge Brothers car
to q cents a mile for one of the
heavy duty trucks.
"Such figures are interesting
to motor car owners and to pros
pective buyers of motor ears. "
said Thomas j. Doyle, local dis
tributor for Dodge Brothers cars.
In these days of the high cost
Of gasoline every one is looking
for a car that can be operated
economically but it is seldom you
can find any owner who can tell
you the exact cost per mile for
the operation of his car. Such
Dodge Brothers owners who
have recorded the expenses for
their cars have found them ex-
ceedingly low and that they We're
getting unusually high mileage on
a gallon Of gasoline. ''-Detroit

TREACHERY AT PARRAL
Carranza Forces Attack on U. S.
Troops at Parral.

San Antonio, Tex, April 10
1t was a force of Carranza s sol
diers who engaged the little de-
tachment of American cavalry at
Parral Wednesday in a regularly
organized action, according to a
detailed report written by Maj.
Frank Tompkins and forwarded
today to Gen. Funston by Gen.
Pershing.
Forty of the Mexican soldiers,
including one Major, and one
civilian, were killed by the re-
treating Americans. The Ameri-
can causalties were two killed
and six wounded, including Maj.
Tompkins. His wound was
slight.
Maj. Tompkin's account of the
action was received at Gen. Fun
ston's headquarters tonight and
served to clarity Gen. Pershing's
report received yesterday, in
which the identity of the attack
ing force was unstated.
The Americans now are north
and west of Parral, REINFORCED
by a squadron of the Tenth un-
der Maj. Young, accompanied
by Col. w. C. Brown and a pick
ed squadron under Maj. Robt. l..
Howe. Fear for their safety has
been dispelled by this report and
by troop dispositions that Gen.
Pershing has ordered, but the
character of which Gen. Funston
did not wish to reveal.
San Antonio, Tex, April H.
Private Eichenberger sent into
Parral ahead of the American
column to announce the coming
of Maj. Tompkin's command,
never returned and is believed to
have been killed, General Perish
ing stated this afternoon in a
supplementary report on the Par
raj affray. Pershing's report bore
out previous Indications Of
treachery.
Gen. Pershing said a captain
of General LOzanO visited the
American camp Tuesday night,
leaving after breakfast Wednes-
day morning. 1t was his insist
ant invitation that they 60 direct
ly into Parral that caused TOmp-
kins to enter the city, but to
guard further against any un-
pleasant incident he sent forward
a courier who remained unreport-
