AS this message is being written, Dodge

history.
The most casual sort of inquiry will sat-
isfy you that this production is being

Within sight and sound as we write,

The interesting thing about this situa-
ton is, that it is not likely that half a

It has always been thought of, and is
still thought of, first, and foremost,
and all the time, only in terms of it's
goodness, and the results it gives.
All of this is wonderful, in one way,
and quite natural and logical in ano-
Their.
It all dates back to the day when John
and Horace Dodge conceived and de-
signed and finally built the car-after
warning each other, and their asso.
ciates, not even to think of it in any
other terms than the best obtainable
value. ..4r., =. ......

They began with few almost absurd
ly simple principles, bluntly expressed
and rigldly executed, about decency
and honor and integrity-such as most
of us wrote in our copy books at
school.
They reduced these old copy books
maxlms to splendid and scientific sys-
TEN, pouring more, and more, and still
more value into the car, and then mar
shalling all the resources of modern
massed manufacture to get their pro-
duct into the hands of the people at an
honorable and an honest cost.
These policies and principles have never
been changed, and never will be
changed, by so much as hairs
breadth; and they have come to be re-
cognized and accepted as Dodge Broth
ers principles wherever motor cars are
driven.
1t has all happened as John and Horace Dodge
planned it-quite simply, naturally, and auto
matically, ali over America, and all over the
world.
People do discriminate, as Dodge Brothers
contended they would; people wM find out
when motor car is we'll built and gives good
service and great good value.
Dodge Brothers market today is where they
planned to locate and establish tin the mind
and the heart of every man and woman who
admires good work, we'll done.
1t will last, and it will keep on growing, as it
has kept on growing for five years Easter than
Dodge Brothers works could keep pace with
it. as long as the number of those who believe
that a manufacturer should build to serve and
not merely to sell, continues to increase.
All is we'll with Dodge Brothers today, because
John and Horace Dodge builded we'll IN the
beginning, and because their business will con-
tiLue to build we'll until the end.

men; that ridicule has been brought |
upon the awards; and that the morale
of the service has been seriously i'm
paired. Specifically, he points out
that the secretary has adopted the an
omalous plan of bestowing equal hon
or upon officers who succeeded and
those who failed, upon those who won
victories. and those who suffered de-
feats.
Admiral Sims INDUCES, of course,
in no personalities. 1t is pointed out
by others, however. that the Distin-
guished Service Medal, the same that
Admiral Sims himself refused to &C
cept the highest of all the honors be-
slowed, has been awarded to an o.
| ficer whose chief distinctions are, first
that he was beaten in action and
lost his ship, and second, that he is a
near relative of the Secretary of the
| Navy. On the other hand, the secre-
tary refused to award a medal to a
distinguished officer who had received
the unanimous recommendation of the
board which had been specially ap-
pointed for the purpose of. recon-
mending awards; an officer, it may
be added, between whom and the Sec
rotary of the navy some differences O,
| opinion had recently arisen. Still an
other distinguished officer, unanim-
ously recommended by the board was
rejected by the secretary-an officer
who happens to be related TO prom
inent Republican senator. Again, the
RearAdmiral who commanded one OF
the chief squadrons of the navy all
through the war and rendered service
of supreme importance, received a
much lower decoration than a lieu
tenant who commanded single des-

But then the Admiral was not, like
the lieutenant, near relative of the
secretary Of the navy.
J Of course it may be tina all these
things can be satisfactorily explained
1t may be that the man who gets
beaten is more worthy of reward thar
the man who wins. 1t may be tina,
the civilian secretary of the navy is q
better judge of merit in action than
