Vital
FOR MOTORISTS
A. H. Reeves Declares Every
Part Of Mechanism Must
Function Properly.

"In securing topnotch efficiency,
man and motor car are alike. Both
rely solely upon physical fitness, .
declares A. H. Reeves Of the Al.
lied Motor Corporation, local deal
er in Durant four and SIX syIlnder
models.
IAN automobile, like the human
body can be depended upon 10 work
long and faithfully only when its
every part Of Its mechanical anat-
omy is-functloning properly. Each
part depends vitality upon the other
for It's working efficiency. II one
fails, the entire mechanical unit il
disturbed.
"You can usually tell whether Il
man Is physically fit by his appear.
ance and actions. Not SO with a
motor car. Mechanical value can.
not be judged entirely by appear
ance, To assure mechanical de.
pendnbillty, all parts must be madn
OF materials Of uniformly high
quality that will enable them 10
work together with consistent
smoothness.
Certain units Of a motor cal
must be made from unusual metal.
Again, there are others that must
possess extraordinary strength. To
know that each unit has the neces.
sary qualities; that It will with.
stand severe use and that 1t will
bear up splendldly under unusual
strain is a problem that Durant en-.
glneers have successfully COPIED
with since the beginning Of the
automotivo industry.
Dheir long acientific research.
tlI and experimenting has pro.
d1ced the Tubular backbone with
which every Durant car is equipped.
II is a steel cylinder riveted at both
ends to the second and third frame
cross members so that both side
members are held rigid and paral.
lei. 1t forces the springs and not
the body to abgorb the shocks OF
the roads, thereby reducing creaks
and preserving the body in good
condition even after a long period
of use.
This tubular backbone is only
one Of the singular Durant contrt.
buttons to motor car efficiency.
Every part of a Durant car is thor.
oughly tested, and the performance
OF every car lis proved before It
leaves the factory, thereby assur.

SALE OF CLOSED
/. GBRSINGREASING
Dodge Brothers Expect De.
inandtoi Continue Owing to
Long Winter Months.

Production schedules prepared
BY the motor car manufacturers
for the coming year reflects accur-
ltely the constantly increasing de.
sire Of the public for closed car
comfort.
The strength OF the closed car
demand Is illustrated by the fact
that Dodge Brothers. Detroit man.
.ifect,irers, are planning to devote
approximately IS per cent OF their
large production for the latter
half OF 1922 to construction Of
closed cars. The Importance OF
fhis figure is emphasized by COM
parison with last years closed
car percentage, which was approx.
nately 10 per cent, according to
the Snyder Motor Co. here.
The production schedule show
that the closed car OF today Is
distinctly not a luxury" car. 1t
IS IN great ilsmand because 1t
vim stand up under hard driving
and pounding on bad roads just
as sturdily as the open car-and
at the same time offer closed car
protection and comfort.
The steel body construction
which Dodge Brothers recently in
troduced IN their business coupe
and business sedan provides
strength and resistance to strain
Which Is possible only where the
construction throughout is of
steel. And prices Of closed cars
can by no means be thought OF as
prohibitive as they might have
been years ago. The prices OF
Dodge Brothers all.steel closed
cars for example, now exceed the
prices Of the opsn cars by mar.
row margins OF 800 to $500.
In the northern and eastern
States, where from five to seven
months OF the year arc too coll
for comfortable driving In an open
rar. the popularity OF the closed
gar Is growing by leaps and
bounds. Even in the south, the
buying public appreciates the in
slant protection against rain or
inclement weather which this
type affords.
The rapidly mounting percen-
tage Of closed car production
Shows how well the motor car
public is taking to this type Of
car.

comes to the Murray theatre for four
days, commencing Sunday. The stage
on which it took place was crowded
to the doors by employees of the Gold

in body to witness it.
From the first days work on the
picture. betting ran high as to what
kind Of battle young Lands would
put up; and needless to say, the fight
scene, while occurring in the middle
of the photoplay, was not photograph
ed until the very last.
Director Paul Bern knew the young
actor was going to make it a real
battle, and probably emerge a beauti-
full black bruise on his cheek bone,
and dislocated thumb, while William
Elmer, his adversary, (an old tir.
follower of the ring, who handled the
gloves with Corbett in his time) had
few stitches taken in his head.
