OE'riCIALs CONVINCED

II
AT Washington last week we found
officials Of tho Car Service commis-
sion and Interstate Commerce Com
mission more than ever convinced
that tho special character OF the auto
mobile car must be recognised and
these cars kept as fully as possible In
automobile service. Reports received
there indicate Improvement in rail-
road conditions.
In the four weeks ended August
rs. s,s53.s22 cars were loaded. which
is a record for August. The socumu-
lstion OF cars on September 4 he'd
been reduced to St.0sO: this figure
reached 3Ss.0o0 last April. Cars OF all
classes continue in great demand,
however. and for the week ending
September the total average of de-
ferred car reQuisitions' was 1t6.070,
against fS7300 the week before. We
do not believe. therefore, that entire

Coon WILL TRIUMPHANT Under TEST

AS this message is being written,
Dodge Brothers daily, weekly
and monthly production, is at the
highest point in its history.
The most casual sort Of inquiry
will satisfy you that this pro-
duction is being absorbed as it is
delivered.
Within sight and sound as we
write, a great addition to Dodge /.
Brothers immense works, is
being rushed to completion.
The interesting thing about this
$ situation is, that it is not likely
that a half a hundred people have
ever bought Dodge Brothers
Motor Car just because they
wanted a motor car.
OF the more than half a million
who have bought 1.-THE over
whelming majority did so be-
cause of the name it bore. g
1t has always been treated, by
the American people in particu-
lar, as an exception-always set
apart, and singled out, and never
judged by ordinary standards.
1t 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 logi-
cal in another.
1t all dates back to the day when
John and Horace Dodge con-
ceived and designed and finally
built the car after warning each
other, and their associates, not
even to think of it in any other
terms than the best obtainable
value.
They began with a few almost
absurdly simple principles,
bluntly expressed and rigidly
executed, about decency and
honor and integrity = such as
most of us wrote in our COPY
books at school.
The Washington times., 1920-10-09

They reduced these old copy
book maxi1ns to a splendid and
scientific system, pouring more,
and more, and still more value
into the car, and then marshall
ling all the resources of modern
massed manufacture to get their
product into the hands Of the
people at an honorable and an
honest cost -,
These policies and principles
have never been changed, and
never viii be changed, by 50
muchgas q hairs breadth; and
they have come to be recognized
and accepted as Dodge Brothers
principles wherever motor cars
are driven. 49,. ---.- =
It has all happened as John and
Horace Dodge planned it quite
simply, naturally, and automat-
ically, all over America, and all
over the world
People do discriminate, as Dodge
Brothers contended they would;
people will find out when
motor car is well built and gives
good service and great good
value.
Dodge Brothers market today is
where they planned to locate
and establish it - in the mind
and the heart of every man and
woman who adrnires good work,
we'll done !
1t will last, and it will keep on
growing, as it has kept on grow
ing for five years faster 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 well with Dodge Brothers
today, because John and Horace
Dodge builded well in the Begin
ming, and because their business
will continue to build well until
the end

 But I do not think Dicl<y guessed the feeling which lay beneath the smile and sprightly query I gave him.
 However did you manage it in so short a time?' I asked. 'I thought there was no butcher in the town"
 Your thinks are eminently cor rect" he answered. "I got this steak in Aberdeen, three miles away"
 How in the world" I was still carefully incredulous.
 Taxi my child taxi.' my husband retorted. There's a chap down here that's got the world beaten for get ting to a place and back again. Has make of car that he's a fanatic about, and he and the car are like two souls with but a single thought. You'd think his car was human the way it responds to him, and the way he talks about it. He has a place near here in the winter and spring,
 
 Long Island. I've seen him before, but never happened to have him do any work for me. But me for him!
 Hes a careful driver, but, oh, boy! Can he get every ounce of speed out of a car I'll say so! I told him what wanted, and telephoned the butcher while he was getting his car out I got out in front of the shop while the car was still moving, and the butcher handed me the steak while the driver was turning the car around. So we didn't lose a minute"
 He was so boyishly elated that mp critical resentment vanished in a rush of tenderntss

 And enjoy it I did hugely when Mandy finally brought it, broiled to a turn, and accompanied by the other things for which I had asked. I had just finished and Mandy was clearing the tray when heard the noise of arrivals outside. and in another min- ute Leila Fairfax was ushered into the room by Dicky. She looked in dismay at the tray and me. 'whatever shall I do?" she ex- claimed in ludicrous but real conster- nation.

How Dicky Broke a Record.

! How Dicky Broke n Record. Tt is to be hoped I should know how to perform so simple a culinary act as to bake potatoes my mother in-law said with her nose in the air.
 But I knew, nevertheless. that she really was modified by my suggestion that she superintend the preparation of tho breakfast for which I was so hungry. She departed hurriedly, and I was sure that long before she re- turned she would have forgotten her rancor at my not permitting her to examine the contents of the twisted handkerchief.

As I took from my bag and suitcase a plaid sport skirt and pongee blouse, q light sweater and the low. servfceable oxfords and golf hoso which I meant to use for tramping. I whimsically thought that now I was preparing for the walk for which I had so longed I would like nothing so much as to go to bed again.
 Dicky sauntered in as was putting tho finishing touches to my hair. He had the air of having spent the pre- CeulnE nOur ton of the landscape. but looking shrewdly at him I saw that he had been engaged in something strenuous. His face was flushed. and his breath ing was a trife hurried. And though ho tried to make his voice nonchalant, he could not keep a triumphant note out of it when he spoke.

But ! am afraid she meant a sheep of a studious and ruminative disposition. who would pause to compose a poem the job with bells on, so you may hope for the best"
 This was assuredly my cue to be appropriately surprised and pleased and grateful. knew that Dicky ex- pected it, and that it really was his due-he had no doubt made a most spectacular dash to secure the food for which had wished. But though forced my lips to pleased acknowl- edgment, my voice and face to grate- full interest. I did not feel particu- iarly enthusiastic over his somewhat theatrical performance. It would have been so easy for him to have done as his mother suggested, ask Major Grantland to bring up the pur- chase when he drove over as he had

 My Own Recipes.
 An old New England dish is that of green corn and beans. String beans may be used in place of lin,a. but should be shelled. If the corn is cooked on the cob and then cut off there is little danger of the dish burning during the cooking. Corn cut from the cob and cooked in it's own milk with little water added is prone to burn.
