Plant Plans for Record Output
to Meet 1920 Demand

The passenger. cars manufactured
by the Dodge Brothers Company have
proven among the most popular of
the medium priced cars for the past
two or three years and their pop
u,arity is growing dayly. Owing to
the hard service under which they
will stand up and give excellent SER
vice the Dodge car has filed the bill
in the case of those of moderate
means who want an automobile.
In Perth Amboy the owners of
Dodge cars are high in their praise
of the wonderful performances OF this
car. Satisfied owners are proving
themselves statesmen for this make of
car.
Owing to the fact that the United
States government recognized the SUI
premacy of this car by awarding the
contract for thousands Of Dodge
Brothers automobiles to be used under
the most severe conditions that could
be imposed upon a machine, the ma
jority of the public are satisfied with
purchasing a car Of this make.
The Dodge car has all of the good
points of the 1919 car and few more
additions which will add to the ease,
and satisfaction of the owner.
Owing to the heavy demand made up
on the Dodge company last year in
order hat the government contract
might be filled, 1t was impossible to
build enough cars to meet the demand
of the public. This year however the
Dodge Brothers factories have under
taken an output larger than ever be-
fore and they have hopes of filing
the great demand.

No matter how cold or unpleasant
1t may be, keep your garage open

Last month the state of Ohio re-
ports two deaths which resulted from
working in an air-tight garage. They
were caused by the carbon-monoxide
gas that emanates from the automo-
bile, and with no pure air to circu-
late through the small shop, it takes
q short time for the place to fill with
the deadly fumes. And you can't

there's hardly any odor to the gas

be produced. The experts estimate at
least 57,000.000 tires will be required
for 1920.
The city of Akron has grown be-
yond capacity. due to the increase in
rubber manufacture here. The ratio
of industrial workers to the whole
population is much larger here than
in other cities because q large number
of men have come here for work,

The CutOut Helps

That ~much-abused cutout may yet
be a saving to you. It's a barometer
for the kline of fuel mixture you have
in your machine. By running the
engine after dark and throwing on the
cutout, the flames issuing from it will
tell the condition of the mixture. If
the fame Is blue or colorless the mix
ture is correct. A red flame shows
you are using too much gasoline, while
a yellow fame shows there is 90
much air in the mixture.

is YOUR AUTO r
What to do When YOU take 1t out OF
Garage this Spring.

o"i"SS tuio .olS thGs
For those who store their automobile
during the winter months or at any
other time. the following suggestions
might be useful:
Never store a car in or near n
stable, because the ammonia fumes
present In stables harm the paint and
upholstery.
Raise the car from the floor by
blocks of wood placed under the
axels. Do not use jacks as the least
jar would 1t to topple off.
Send your storage batteries to q
battery company for stoarge or charge
it full by running the motor while
the car is lacked up. The motor
should be run at q speed of 20 mics
an hour until the ~hydrometer~ reads
1850.
Wipe off the top of the battery with
8 rag coated with household ammonia,
and coat the terminals with vase
line.
Debate the tires to a pressure of
Is pounds to the square inch.
Drain the water from the radiator
and run the engine until the motor
is heated.
Drain the oil from the crank case
and replace 1t with a heavy oil.
Remove the spark plugs. pour a
'cupful of oil into each cylinder, re-
place spark plugs and turn over the
engine by hand several times to cover
the cylinder walls thoroughly with oil.

Cuts In Tires

Cold weather Is hard on tires be-
cause of the changing temperatures
undergone when the car is driven from
the warm garage to the cold atmos-
phere outside. Particles of ice and
snow lodging in the tread cause cuts
which can ruin the tire. These cuts
should be filled with tire dough which
would prevent further cutting nto
the tire.

and means committee today ordered
favorable report on the soldier relief
bill, with a provision levying 10 per
cent stock dividend tax retroactive TO
last March 10 included.
Republican leaders plan to bring the
bill before the house Saturday.
The final committee fight centered
about the stock tax, ten democrats re-
inforced by three republicans succeeding
by a margin of one vote in forcing
adoption of the levy. BY the same
vote the combination blocked elimna-
ton of. the tax and after. considerable
jockeying ordered the bill reported by a
vote of Is to 10.
AS the measure will come before the
house, it will provide five new tax levies
amounting TO more than s500,0O0.O 600 a
year for the next three years. Besides
the stock tax, the levies include increased
taxes on tobacco and incomes, real es-
tate sales and stock and grain exchange
transactions in futures. Revenue thus
produced would be used for paying a
cash bonus to former service men, or. at
their option. in aiding them TO obtain

today to include an eighty per cent

AMERICAN CITIZENS BEING
DETAINED IN SOVIET RUSSIA


Washington. May 20.-Aroused by re-
ports of the Imprisonment and detention
in soviet Russia of various American
citizens, the state department today took
steps to bring to bear indirect pressure
on the bolshevik authorities to obtain
their release.
request has been addressed to the
Austrian government through the Ameri-
can commissioner in Vienna asking that
Hungarian communists, detained since
their escape to Vienna from Budapest
last year, and whose release has been
made the subject of overtures by the
bolsheviki, shall be refused release pend
ing the freeing of American citizens de-
tanned in Russia. Action by this govern
ment was taken, it was said, as a result
of the suggestion of another government
and was in accord with the views OF
other countries.
One of the Americans known to be i'm
prisoned7 in Russia by the bolsheviki
Xnenephon p. Kalamatiano, has beer
made the subject of Intellectual repre-
sentations for more than a year Ac.
cording to latest reports received by the
department, Kalamatiano is in close con-
finement and is being starved to death.

MORE THAN $500 CARS SENT
WEST On PENNSYLVANIA ROAD

New York. May 2O.-The Pennsyl-
vania railroad denied reports this morn
ing that it had put into effect forty
eight hour embargo. More than 500
loaded cars of freight were sent west
from New York yesterday over this
road, it was said, and a similar number
were being sent out today. All perish
able foods and coal are being moved
freely, and the total freight movement.
il was asserted was between 60 and -
Fer cent.
The chief trouble. it is explained at
the Pennsylvania offices. is in the To-
cal marine situation and in the Jersey
terminals Here shortage of men con-
tinues to hamper movements.
None of the railroads has established
total embargoes and so far as could
be learned today none will do so on its
own notion Any action of this char
acter, it was said. would COME from the
Interstate Commerce Commission. which
has broad powers under the new trans
portation act. 1t is generally believed
that the commission will shortly pro
mulgate strict priority orders.

BULLETIN TO MANUFACTURERS
ABOUT MOVEMENT OF FREIGHT

Hartford. Conn. May 20.-In a bulletin
sent TO members Of the Manufacturers
association OF Connecticut today stten-
tion was called 10 the fact that the rail-
roads Of the United States had requested
the interstate commerce commission TO
exercise its emergency powers under the
law by issuing an order restricting move
ments Of freight to prime necessities such
as food. fuel. etc. The commission call
ed upon the various state railroad com
missions to advise whether or not they
favored such action. Before replying. the
Connecticut public utilities commission
afforded the Manufacturers association
an opportunity to present its views in
the matter.
L. Kent Hubbard Of Niddletown. preei-
dent Of the association. was in conference
with the commission Wednesday and Oh
jected strongly to the proposed action.
Some of his reasons We're:
The proposed order would inevitably
close down quickly large number Of our
industries This would mean stoppage
of earnings of thousands of workers.
There is now in Connecticut no serious
shortage OF any necessity OF life. nor is
any such shortage Immediately threaten
ed. There is no danger to the public
from the slow movement Of coal except
as the industries may be forced TO sus-
| pend for lack Of coal Now that the
roads have been returned to private own
ership il is better that the interference
Of the government be not invoked until
absolutely necessary for public safety.
What is needed is more transportation
rather than less; an increase Of their ef-
/ forts by the railroads rather than. an ar
bitrary lesssning of the demands upon
them at the expense of the public
These views have also been commun-
