DODGE CAR READY.
Substantial Motor for Light Deliv-
cry Purposes Added to Well
known Line.

Dodge Brothers dealers in the United
States and Canada are beginning TO re-
ceive their first consIgnments of Dodge
Brothers commercial ear. Already this
car has been proclaimed a favorite in the
commercial field. and dealers are prepar-
ing for q demand as heavy as that which
has greeted the other Dodge Brothers
products since they came on the market
three wears ago.
The building of the commercial car
was influenced by the frequent and con
sistent demand for Dodge Brothers
chassis for commercial purposes. The
mechanical features of Dodge Brothers
standard touring car were so well adapted
10 use for light commercial work that
hundreds of business concerns bought the
chassis alone and had special commercial
bodies built to suit their requirements.
Naturally, this practice led to a demand
for a light commercial car as q part of
the Dodge Brothers regular line of cars.
The result. is the practical, substan-
tial, and good-appearing vehicle which is
now being marketed. Precisely the
kind of car you would expect Dodge
Brothers TO build was the remark with
which many dealers received it. The speci-
ticatons are similar TO those of the stand
ard touring cal, except for several details
m which consideration is given the neces-
Aty for handling q much greater load

FOUR-F|FTHS OF
CARS NECESSARY
Eighty Per Cent Indispensable,
According to Data Compiled by
Haynes Company.

More than so per cent of the passenger
automobiles in America are indispensable
to business, according To data gathered in
nationwide investigation just complet-
ed 10y the Haynes Automobile Company,
kokomo, Ind. A large part of the remain
inc per cent, it was disclosed, are essential
TO the personal efficiency of their owners.
The average business could not be car

wartime speed and with wartime econ

automobile Even the reports from those
who do not use their own cars regularly
Tor business recognize the necessity for
the So-eallcd pleasure car.
The public Is accustomed to look upon
the PHYSICIANS use of an automobile as
urgent. But il has preferred TO class cars
owned by persons OF other professions and
business rs purely pleasure vehicles.

regarding the individuals use of his pas

STARTING CARS.
1913 Motors Easy to Get Going
Through Development in
Primers.

One Of the most important phases of
ear development, as brought out at the
show, is the reduction in the time re-
quired TO warm up the cars. IL takes
less time To get the first explosion and
less time to get the engine running stead
lily. The reason for this is in the develop
ment in primers and in intake manitolds.
There are primers now on the cars rs
standard equipment, or sold rs separate
accessories, which really solve the bad
fuel problem. Some of these have electrical
coil attachments which allow them TO
prehaat a portion of the gasoline, raising
this to the boiling point and then starting
on this boiled product. Others shoot n
spray OF very finely atomized gasoline
directly against the recess containing
the spark plugs and quickly give the first
explosion, and after this 1T Is quite easy
to soon have the engine running steadily.
The hot spot intake manifold has moth
ing to do with starting the engine, but
il does influence to marked extent the
time required 10 warm II up. The first
few explosions serve to heat the thin wall
between the exhaust manifold and the
carburetor, and after this the intake gases
are vaporized so thoroughly that there
is no further trouble from condensation,
and the time necessary for running on an
excessively rich mixture, due To the use
of the choke, is greatly reduced.
Motorists do not realize that this means
a greatly increased life of the engine and
freedom from bearing trouble, but such
is the case. The raw gasoline, entering
the cylinders when the choke is closed,
leaks past the piston rings and gets down
into the crank case, with the result that
the supply of lubricant therein is diluted
and greatly reduced in quality. This
means that the crankshaft bearings are
not taken care of the way they should
be and wear out much more rapidly. All
this is prevented by quick warming up.
