DODGE BROS. INCREASE
BIG AUTO OUTPUT

An immense new assembly build
ing, duplicating the present struc-
lure in size, is announced by Dodge
Brothers as the principal unit of
the 1928 expansion program.
The building is six stories high,
1000 feet long and rs feet wide, with
more than one-half million square
feet of floor pace. Construction
work which started some months
ago is now nearly completed. The
new assembly building paralleling the
Old structure, is just across ta-
street which formerly marked the
boundary line of the great Dodge
Brothers factories.
Factory executives would not
omment on the number of additional
cars contemplated in this extensive
addition, but it is believed that the
immediate aim is a capacity of 1000
cars a day. In the face of the great
ly oversold condition which prevail
ed throughout the entire year just
past it is not unreasonable to assume
that this number mentioned could
be absorbed easily by Dodge Brothers
dealers.
Other units of the expansion pro-
gram are the new cyanide building,
a million dollar addition to the power
house, and a mammoth new closed
body building. The latter is COM
pleted, several floors having been &C.
cupied for some time. 1t is estimated
that the total investment represented
by these additions in buildings alone.
will reach $1,000, 900.
The erection of the body building
in the short space of four months
established a record. Considering
the fact that it is an eight story
building 400x200 feet in dimension,
with a total floor space of 500, 900
square feet, the time is exceptionally
short. 1t is a striking tribute to the
efficiency and financial independence
of Dodge Brothers, as all the work
was done under the supervision of
the factory's own construction de-
partment.

MICHELIN TIRE COMPANY
BETTERS ITS PRODUCTS

According to our figures" says
Mr.. H. K. FELTON,, New Jersey man.
ager of the Michelin Tire Company"
the average automobilist will need
only "a tires to see him through this
year.
"That is the best evidence of the
Improvement which has occurred in
tire durability.
mot long ago tire manufacturers
figured that the average car used
five tires a year.
"Those were the days of frequent
adjustments. when a fellow thought
he was pretty lucky to get 5000 miles
from a casing.
I'm the better tire factory today
adjustments are practically I'M
known. In our own case, for in
stance, we almost never hear of a
request for an adjustment.
This general improvement is all
the more remarkable because tires
nowadays are run at much lower air
pressures than formerly. There was
a time when a n were asked
to keep their tires almost as hard
as solid tires and put up with the
consequent discomfort. But these
requirements have gradually been
relaxed.
1.-THE cord tire is not so liable as
was the old fabric tire to rupture
its carcass because of under-inflation
or because of striking a hole or OBJ
stacle in the road. In fact, when
we see a Michelin Cord hat has suf-
fered a ''stone bruise," as a break in
the carcass is called, we know it
must have received an extraordinary
blow. But we practically never see
such a tire.
Fortunately for the tire manu-
facturer the number of automobiles
has increased rapidly from year to
year otherwise the reduced prices at
which tires are now sold and the
smaller consumption per a would
have been a serious blow to the tire
business.

BUS SERVICE
PROTEST HEARD
Service Not as Good as When
Transportation Crisis First
Started, is claim |

Bus operation to take the place
Of the Public Service trolley cars
during the strike, which at first was
found to be much superior to the
service given by the trolley, has be-
gun to deteriorate according to
complaint made to the Evening
News today by c. w. Cameron, Jr.,
OF Irving street, Railway, an en-
ploye of the Atlantic Terra Gotta
Company.
When the buses first were put
into commission, Mr.. Cameron de-
clared they made eve better time
than the trolleys and ran more often.
In fact they maintained a fifteen
minute Roadway while the trolley
cars maintained a thirty minute
Roadway. The fare charged was a
slight increase over that laid on the
trolley cars, but the people obtain
ing transportation to the various
plants in the city did not mind the
advance in price as long as they
reached their employment on time.
According to Mr. Cameron, many
of the workers have to be at their
respective plants by Z o'clock in the
morning, and as it is impossible to
get to many of the plants by train,
the bus is the only means of trans
PO1 1AAA Al - 49,
in reaching the plants, Mr.. Came
ron said are locked and if the late
arrival of the employe continues for
any length of time they are finally
dismissed and must seek new posi-
tions.
In some instances Mr.. Cameron
pointed out large buses have been
taken off the runs without notice
and smaller buses placed in service
which have been unable to accom-
modate the crowds. He recalled an
instance recently when a small bus
packed with thirty-six and the driv-
er had to run at greatly reduced
speed in order to keep the bus up
right, as it had a tendency to lean
over. It is common for a bus built
to held twenty-five people to carry
forty-three, Mr.. Cameron said. For
a period of four days fast week. a
bus built to seat twelve passengers
was operated between this city and
Railway and carried over thirty
people on each trip, he declared.
Although some of the drivers en-
deavor to keep up to schedule and
get the employees to and from their
work on time, others lag along the
way and if urged to drive the bus
faster lay no heed to the pleas of
the passengers. but rather to
be amused by the requests. Mr..
Cameron. declared that some of the
buses have made no attempt to make
schedule and that the service is very
unsatisfactory. In other sections,
Mr.. Cameron said, some motor bus
owners have taken buses off the
lines without any notification what
ever and without regards for those
who must travel over the section
thus abandoned.
Mr.. Cameron urges in the interest
of those employed at the various
plants in this city. that the city Of
ficia1s make rigid inquiry into the
operation of the various bus lines
and demanded that the proprietors
of the lines give as good service as
that rendered when the Public Ser
vice employees first went on strike.

AS PEACH IS CROWNED QUEEN
AT FORT VALLEYS FESTIVAL

afternoon on a stage $50 feet long.
Several hundred. characters in cos
tune participated, with allegorical
dances, tableau and historical groups
IMPLYING the various stages of the
development of the peach industry.
The huge crowds of visitors were
shown every courtesy, the American
Legion and. the Boy Scouts acting in
the capacity of special officers and
official hosts, directing traffic, main
tanning order and rendering hun
dred small services.
The Peach Blossom Festival was
threatened with absolute disaster
when the thermometers throughout
the peach belt Monday registered
temporarily around 20 degrees. 1t
was thought at first that the entire
crop had been ruined, as the
orchards are in full bloom and q sud
den cold snap has too often brought
heavy damage to the crop.
The arrangements for the festival
went forward without cessation,
however, in the face of all dis
couragements1 and when investiga-
ton showed that the crop had been
damaged only. slightly, the rejoicing
throughout the belt gave the Peach
Blossom Festival double significance.
