It is always a good plan for mo torists to use the same kind of spark plugs which come equipped with the car. The reason is that the position of their points are such as to give the best results. Some plugs will not reach far enough into the firing chamber to ignite the gas vapor' quickly enough; others will reach in so far as to actually touch the top of the piston.

D0D6G BROTHERS ANNOUNCE
 IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS

Dodge Brothers have not simply brought out ( com plete new line of motor cars. They have done something infinitely wiser and better than that.
 They have brought new beauty, new riding ease and new mechanical perfection to the product on which their reputation as builders has been founded.
 They have built a better and a more desirable line of motor cars-yet basically and fundamentally ythe iden- tity oftheir productremains the same.
 The same sturdy engine Is under the hood; the same dependable chassis, inn proved in numberless de- tails, underlies the body. But the rear springs-now underslung-have been ma terially heightened. The wheelbase, too, is longer, and the combined result is a notable improvement in riding qualities.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-08-26

Bodies fall types have been designed to give improved appearance, and greater comfort. Lower, longer, with deeper seats and more leg room, the lines of these new cars are low-swung and graceful-the interiors are comfortable and roomy.
 New head lamps and fem ders, especially designed by Dodge Brothers to conform with the general lines of the cara long straight hood and cowl effect-longer and wider running boards-un- usually wide doors-com hination stop signal and tail 1arnp-and instruments att tractively grouped on raised panel-are a few of the numerous body innovations common to all types.
 Combining these features with important mechanical Improvements too numer- ous and technical to emu merate here, its not extrav- agant to predict a reception for these cars unprecedented in automotive annals.

last three years than any other
state in the South or in this ma
ton. You know how it was done,
and you owe it to the great State
of Georgia, to explain in youn
messages what has been done
in North Carolina. Tell US how
that state passed an income tax;
how she limited county and city
tax levies; how she passed an in
heritance tax; how she passed a
Corporation franchise tax; and
how she exempted from an adva-
loren tax, for the state every dol
lars worth of property in the
state. In this way, that state,
smaller in area and wealth and
with less people, is raising this year
more than twenty million dollars
for all the big business Of that
great state. While she has done
this in the last three years, every
city and hamlet has prospered. In
one county last year five hundred
fifty thousand cotton spindles were
added to those already humming
prosperity for that state. What
is fine about the North Carolina
plan is that it stabilized taxes and
everybody knows the tax laws are
settled for the next rs years.
I'm your messages unfold to US
the details of the sad condition of
every state institution we have. We
should have free school books for
every child in every grade. That
will. cost from one to two million
dollars year. We must build a
great state university and a big
agricultural college, and our tech
college and every other
state school must have all the
money they need. Our old soldiers
must be paid. The next session
of the legislature has the finest OPP
to redeem Georgia that
one has had since the days of Re-
I want you two great
men to lay the facts and figures
before as as to our condition and
explain fully the remedies. The
only thing that stands in the way
is the want of money and we can
not get it until our tax laws are
reformed. If either of you believe
in tax system based upon the
classification of property, please
tell us why you do and how it has
worked in Kentucky. 1t has failed
there and the race Sfor governor
viii be settled in that state next
November on that isseu and the
man opposing it will be the next
governor of that state.
Il have briefly touched a hur-
ried outline of what you ought to
tell us all about. The plan set
out above will take many consti-
tutional amendments and that will
delay US two years. / beg
you to cal upon us to give
the state constitutional convention
the whole thing may be finished
by the first day of next year. L
mean what / have written above
and / am going to the next. session
to fight for what we ought to have.
| know great wealth and many po-
iitical demagogues will oppose the
above plans. I am going to mail
this open letter to all of the daily
papers in the state with the re-
quest that they publish the same
ane comment on it in their edi-
torial columns and bless or curse
may plans. / want to get them, be-
fore the people of Georgia, and I
call on both of you to help me.

and for the best interest of INV
