In each picture she has to battle a
huskier opponent! In Moran of the
Lady Lefty" Dorothy Dalton had a
"scrap" with Rodolph Valentino; in
"The Crimson Challenge" she had a
gun-battle with burly outlaw; in
her latest George Melford production,
she has to fight off a mounted police

DODGE BROTHERS
TYPE-A SEDAN

Its dependability is taken for granted-its
economy of operation is proverbial.
Comment, as a rule, is directed to the richness
of its fittings, and the dignifed beauty of It's
coach work.
This beauty is not superficial thing It
goes much deeper than mere external
adornments.
Like all creations of genuine excellence, it
emanates from the honest value which
Dodge Brothers have built into the car.
You sense it in the depth and comfort of the
seats-richly upholstered in genuine mohar
velvet. 1t makes itself known the instant you
close the doors-which snap solidly Shut like
the doors of safe. It emanates Enthusiastically
from every line and curve of the sturdy body.
1t becomes most evident when you discover
that in smart company, where a car of less
distinction would appear at is worst, Dodge
Brothers Type-A Sedan appears at its best.

With Minnesota road conditions al
ready better than the average, it Is
held that gasoline consumption GER
tainly will be no higher than the
averages above and therefore the
tax estimates are maximums.
It is added that all averages are
based ON 4-cylinder Fords and
Dodges, 6-cylinder Bucks, 8-cyl-
inder Cadillacs and 12-cylinder
Packards, all of the touring models,
5-passenger capacity for the first
three and 7-passenger for the last

CHRISTMAS SEAL BRINGS
APPEAL FROM SAMAT0R|UM
PATIENT AT NOPEMINc, MINNIE
sofa, SANATORIUM, ASKS
THAT CHRISTMAS SEALS
|, BE PURCHASED.

On November 30th thousands of
good men and women all over this
great land of ours, who find some
10Y in rendering some service to
mankind, without hope of fee or re-
ward will devote many Of their pre-
cious moments, unstintingly, to the
cause of the Christmas Seal and the
great purpose for which it stands.
They will place this seal on sale in
public places in order that the pub
lie in general may partake OF the
joys that are to be derived in help
ing to prevent and cure disease by
purchasing at the small price Of one
cent each as many Of these seals as
they can possibly afford.
The Christmas Seal is only sym
boil of the great work which it rep
resents. The wonderful work which
is being accomplished in the proven
ton and cure of disease will surely
repay those generous supporters to
this cause for the money which they
invest in this work.
If the entire population of America
could visit the sanatoriums devoted
to the cure of tuberculosis during
December and could receive in this
way first hand information of con-
iitions existing there, especially
hose children and older folks swho
are for a time confined there tc
fight their way back to health, anc
could realize the length of time nee
essary to effect a cure or become an
arrested case, and the extra pre-
cautions necessary to prevent re-
currence of the trouble; if this
same group Of persons could and
would learn for themselves and their
relatives and friends the proper way
to live and avoid disease; if they
could understand the large amount
SOOu WulCll ID uCilfS uohC Al WIN
batting disease, they would not hest
tate to subscribe double and in many
cases triple the amounts subscribed
in former years.
Life is sweet and health is OF
| its greatest assets but it fits away
from our grasp when we forget to
take care.
The person who will contribute to
this cause which is so worthy, which
| needs and deserves so much the aid
of everyone who is able to assist, il
even only a few pennies, will be 9
real Santa Claus to those thousands
of children and older folks as wei
who are fighting their way back te
life and health and loved ones anG
who are needing the cheer he car
give, and mankind will be little
better for his having PASSED this
way.

INNING MATTERS |

The Duluth Mesabe & Northern
railway shipped total of 20,163 :
GIG tons of iron ore to the Duluth
docks the past year of which the
Oliver mines sent out 1S,572,815
and the Independents 1,590,804.
Last years shipments amounted to
13,044,771 tons or an increase this
year of over 100000 tons.
Steel Corporation subsidiaries are
operating on average about 80 per
cent. Incoming business first three
weeks of November was slightly
better than first three weeks of
October, though not quite up to the
average for the entire month.

The feasibility of miners using
small gas masks of pocket size to
escape from deadly gases in mines
following fires and explosions is be-
ing studied by the Department CT
Ia, Interior ut Pittsburgh. Pa. The
carbon monoxide and smoke ma-ks
dc yeloved by the Bureau of Mines
appear capable of saving many
miners lives by protecting them
long enough to permit. escape fron,
a mine. Such masks can often
eliminate the carbon monoxide haz-
ard which has taken great toll in
the past. The mask cannot supply
oxygen, so the danger from aid de-
ficient in oxygen still remains.
The tests are progressing and re-
suits will be incorporated into a
schedule of tests and requirements
| in accordance with which the Bureau
of Mines will undertake formally to
approve commercial masks which
meet it's qualifications.
In conjunction with the improve
ments to be made at the Soudan

Co., near Tower, an order has been

designed to operate with efficiency
from a depth of $500 feet, and at
a speed of 1000 feet per minute

Minnesota averages above are fig-
ured on 1921 models as being fairly
representative of all cars of the
makes listed, and agreeing with av-
erage valuations in other states.
Registration fees in various states
are exactly those collected, and rates
for personal property taxes, wher-
ever levied, are at so mills in coun-
try sections and ITO mills in cities
on so per cent of list prices. Cars
are taxed as personal property in "a
