DODGE BROTHERS
 ENv|AbLE RECORD.

An idea of the popularity Of Dodge Brothers Motor car may be gained from the fact that within 2S months after the first car was turned out, the aggregate sales had exceeded $11O.00O,- 000
 This is a record without precedent in the motor car industry It IS re- garded as a striking testimonial to the high regard in which the name Dodge Brothers" was held by the public even before they marketed motor car bear ing this name Prior to that time Dodge Brothers had built the vital parts for more than a half million. other cars. establishing a reputation for thoroughness and mechanical skill.
 This reputation has been more than upheld It is said of Dodge Brothers in explanation of their unusual success, that they spare no money or effort III building a car to suit their particular ideas of thoroughness in manufacture. What their ideas on this subject mean to the purchaser of their product may be imagined from the fact that they have staff of more than 750 in spectors who do nothing but check uL on workmanship in the various pro cesses of manufacture. In addition there are several large departments de- voted entirely to similar work, such as the physical and chemical labora tories where raw and finished ma terials are subjected to tests so thor ough as to leave no doubt of the quality.
 It is significant that the first Dodge Brothers motor car ever built was made up exactly as car is made in the regular line of production. Ordi- narily the experimental job" as the first car is known, is built of castings because of the great time and expense involved in preparing dies for forgings. Dodge Brothers, however, decided thar their experimental car should be like the car they expected to build, in every detail. so that neither they nor the public might be fooled. So they spent almost year in making these dies and preparing otherwise for completely manufactured car. As result. when the car was built they knew what they had and what they and the public might expect of their product As further result this first car. although only an experimental job" is still. in daily service on the h4rdest experimenting under all sorts of road conditions-and with a record of more than l50,000 miles be- hind it. This is but an illustration of the many things unique in the history of Dodge Brothers as manufacturers.
 Public approval of their principles of thoroughness is seen in the rapid ex- pansion of Dodge Brothers works made necessary by public demand. In De- cember, 1914, it was a plant of less than 20 acres Today Dodge Brothers works covers 72 acres of. floor space, employs nearly 140O0 persons, produces more than 400 cars a day and is still unable to keep pace with the demand.

BOYS IN CORPS PLEASED

Word has been received of the Phoe- nix boys Wells O. Abbott and Karl Rupert, who are receiving intensive training with the Seth unit of the am bulance corps preparatory to leaving for France. Rupert writes that the work at Allantown Pennsylvania, is severe and the weather poor, but that the unit is rapidly reaching the point where it will pass muster.
 In his letter, Rupert states that six weeks of intensive training is the amount given to unit which leaves in few days for the battle front. The 96th unit, which is the Arizona unit, has received fur weeks training up to the present, so they expect to leave within a month for the French trenches to carry on their work Of mercy.

Boiling Taffy Burns Child

Rachel, the seven-year-old
daughter of l. D. Smith of Tyler
town, near Seaford, was terribly
burned at a children's party given
last Tuesday evening at the home
of Mrs Arintha Marsh. The chill
was sitting on a chair which tilted
against the stove, she upset a pan
of hot taffy, yet boiling. The mass
poured over the child's body and
she was badly burned, chiefly
about her limbs and feet. A ply
Stefan was called and promptly
treated her burns. 1t is thought
she will recover but will not likely
be able to get about for several
weeks.

 The policy of the United States in not confscating the German vessels in American ports will evoke general approval. To take them over with the intention of transferring their registry to this country without con- pensation to the owners would only increase the friction between this country and Germany, and would es- tablish a precedent foreign to the usual policy of vessels interned ih case of war. Probably the admins tration will consider itself justified l., seizing the vessels only in case they are actually needed for operation sn time of war and then their owners would be compensated when peace was declared.

Tennyson's Vanity.

The intricacies of great mans char acter are often simplicities to his wife, Once, when the late Alfred Austin had paid visit to Tennyson. his i'm mediate predecessor. Tennyson walked with him as far as the gate which led to the highway. There. says Alfred Austin fin his autobiography. while the elder poet stood leaning on the gate. a party of wide eyed sightseers ap- peared.
 What a vulgar people the English are" Tennyson exclaimed. "They come here to watch for me. and when they see me they say quite loudly. There's Tennyson!
 Mir. Austin afterward repeated this to Lady Tennyson. who smiled tenderly. but archly.
 My husband would be much more annoyed if the people didn't come" she said.

VICTIMS OF BLAST NOT ALL LOCATED

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-While more than 100 men worked tonight over the smouldering, ice-covered ruins of the West Side tenement house here which was wrecked by an explosion early today, the results had been es- tablished:
 The known dead numbered 2; in- iured 21; missing 27, and the rescued uninjured 22. The tenement located in the heart of the west side Ghetto district, contained at the time of the explosion sleeping men, women and children, variously estimated at be- tween eighty and ninety.
 Twenty-four hours more at least will be necessary to clear away the mass of debris and ice in order to fully determine whether there are others in the ruins. Late today fire men said they heard moaning under portions of the ruins which could be reached and as a result five persons were taken from the spot. It is be lieved there are about dozen others beneath the mass of ice.

If the old gentleman's s chest be of a proper firmness and resil- iency this push brings us to position R. with the left knee in the sharp knee hold on the edge of the upper berth and the right leg at large.

NOT CONFTSCATE SHIPS.

Actual seizure and confiscation of German ships tied up in American ports, except as a police measure, is not at present contemplated and there is no certainty that the government would confiscate the vessels even i'll the event of war, for the reason thst his country has up to the present time always taken the stand that pri- vate property rights are inviolable during hostilities. Other countries. however, have confiscated German vessels interned when war was declar- ed. PortugaPs seizure of number farbor on the plea of a long-forgotten treaty with Great Britain led to dec- laration of war, and Portugal may yet pay dearly for her act of piracy.
 Germany's merchant fleet in Ameri- can ports is the largest and finest be- longing to that country outside of Teutonic waters. It is valued at many millions of dollars and includes sev- eral of the largest ships of the Ger man merchant marine, which were here when war broke out or which rushed to the United States to avoid capture or destruction.
 The number of steamships of Ger many reported in American waters is -fifty-four, while there are a number of sailing vessels running the total up 10 ninety-ive and in addition twenty three craft of various kinds are tied up at Manila and several in Hawaii. Austria has twelve steamships in this country. The largest of the Teutonic vessels is the Vaterland, the biggest steamship af1oat, with a tonnage Of 54,282 or almost twice as much as that of the biggest dreadnaught. The George Washington of 25,570 tons. comes second. The former has 923 men in her crew and the latter 425.
 In 1914 the total gross tons of the German ships in continental Ameri- can ports was given as 518,776. The vessels were capable of carrying 33,4O1 passengers-or approximately the number equal to fifty times the

Invented the Check System.

John Palmer. who died some years ago in rather straitened circumstances in a little town in Michigan. was the inventor of the check system. Palmer was fiddler and assumed responsibil- ity for the hats. coats and wraps of those who came to his dancing parties. In keeping things straight he gave numbered checks for the articles com mitted to his care. Some railroad men who attended one of the dances noticed how perfectly the idea worked. appro- priated it and in short time it was adopted all over the country. AS is often the case, the inventor got noth- ing out of it--Philadelphia Press.
