AUSTRALIAN MARK
PLACED ON PAIGE
Safely Scales Sides of Ranges
Back of Mel
bourne.

From far-off Australia comes the re-
port of a bit Of mountain climbing by
a Paige car that not only establishes a
record. but was deemed Of sufficient
Impotence to receive special mention
in the newspapers. Walter Whitbourn,
tho Paige representative in Melbourne,
New South Wales, is the driver who pi-
loted the car and thus won for 1t new
distinction for power, sturdiness and
reliability.
Mr.. Whitbourn's trip was to the
summit of the Plenty Ranges surmount-
ing the city Of Melbourne and the Her
aid, OF that city, recounting Mr.. Whit
bourn's adventures, said that the in
trepid driver had been warned before
starting that no car had yet succeeded
in mounting the range.
Before he had advanced very far on
his journey, Mr., Whitbourn realized
why the feat of climbing the range in
a motor car had been so long delayed.
When the mountain track was reached,
after traversing what is called the
northern road out OF Melbourne, Mr..
Whitbourn found II not only a steep
gradient, but in a very rough condition.
An abundance Of scrubby growth and
loose earth made progress very tedious
and difficult.
= After two miles Of this rough climb
ing, the Paige reached a settlers clear
ing on the range which, seen from the
city On a clear day, looks like a bald
spot shaved on the mountain side.
There remained a further climb Of a
quarter Of a mile, but the toll entailed
was worth while, for when Mr.. Whit
bourn, the first man to reach this van
tage point in an automobile, arrived at
the summit. the view that greeted him
was magnificent, comprising a piano.

So great was the hold of the man on
the factory employees with whom he had
worked, and of whom he always de-
clared he was one, that the men were
insistent that he lie in state at the
plant, that all might pay their last re-
spects to their late chieftain. Owing
to the late arrival Of the train bearing
the body. this was impossible, but the
hours from 9 to IL o'clock on Saturday
were set aside in order that the older
employees might view the remains at the
Dodge residence. The factory was
closed all day,
As the long lines of workmen filed
slowly past the bier crowds gathered
without, and with the approach of ?
o'clock, the hour of the services, the
white blanket of snow was covered by
hundreds of dark forms of workmen.
Among them passed, too, some of the
biggest figures, financial. industrial and
political of the country.
John Dodge looked militant in his
coffin" as n man expressed it,
Even in death he was not defeated"
The tributes hat came to the family
were many and touching. One. and in its
way n of the most impressive, Of these
was that Of the factory organization,
which, on Thursday, the day following
the death of the leader, broke all pro-
d~uction records for the plant. To their
thinking that was the best and most
direct evidence possible of their respect
to their late employers memory. Among
the many eulogies received was the fol-
lowing expressive tribute of C. Harold
Wills, an associate for years, who knew
John Dodge intimately:
Looking back over my business re-
lations and personal contact with John
Dorge one characteristic, one outstand-
ing fact, sticks in my mind-I am con-
WINGED that he was the most fearlessly
honest, the most literally honest man |
ever knew.
1T never occurred to John Dodge to
speak anything but the truth. 1t was
instinct in him. And he would speak
the truth to any man, a newsboy or the
president of the United States, with
equal prOmptnesS and frankness.
ut was not remarkable, perhaps. that
with this fearless honesty, John Dodge
had a remarkably alert sense of justice.
In all his business negotiations he was
essentially Just. He a a fighter, but
a fair fighter. He was always looking
for good motives, generous instincts in
other men. And he vas quick to APP
plaud and reward them"
John Dodge's word was good--one
hundred per cent good. After he had
given his word he never looked for
teChnicalities or lOopholes of escape.
He stood by it, whatever the conse-
Q~uences of the cost.
ut didn't matter with John Dodge
whether that word, once given, was
verbally, perhaps impulsively given,
or whether it was written and a good
valid legal document. He carried out
his agreements literally-to the letter.
II shall always preserve the impress
sion and memory of force-tremendous
force-in John Dodge. He was ~forceful
in personality, in his conviction, in his
ideals, in his loyalty to his friends. l
don't suppose there ever lived a man 50
implicitly and uuquestioningly loyal to
his friends as John Dodge. Once he
had given YOU his confidence, he would

A ~spyglass to his eyes,
And takes the numbers of the car

To appear on Friday night.

But go your humble way.

And take him by surprise,
And shove him in that bramble bush
And scratch out both his eyes.
