Everywhere and to everyone this name means but one

Behind this product this price and this enviable reputation

Dodge Brothers, during the
past eleven years, have built
and sold more than one million
four hundred thousand motor
cars-and more than 5000 of
these cars are still in service.
This record requires no COM
ment. It stands impressively
alone in motor car history.
1t has never been Dodge Bro
theirs policy to build yearly
models. When an improve
ment, that is really an i'm
provement, is discovered, it is
made at once. Their slogan,
Constantly Improved But No
Yearly Models" is familiar the
world over.
Dodge Brothers build one chas-
sis and only one. This policy
materially lowers manufacture
ing cost. It also enables Dodge
Brothers engineers to concen-
trate their entire time and
thought on the betterment Of
this one type.
Dodge Brothers have never
had an "off year" or an "off
car" This is because they have
never used the public as a test
ing ground for new models"
or lowered the quality of their
product in the slightest degree.
Every change has been an i'm
provement on the original
design.
Dodge Brothers pioneered in
building the first all-steelopen

car. These epochal develop

also reduced intellectually the
danger from accident and fire.
Dodge Brothers sen directly
through their dealers to the
purchaser. There are no Sec
tional distributing agencies to
increase the cost Of distribution
and the cost Of the car.
Dodge Brothers have never
given so-called free service"
The car is sold at a fair and
honest price. Nothing is added
to this original purchase price
topay for service that the owner
may never need.
Dodge Brothers Dealers were
pioneers In unanimously
adopting the flat rate service

most at once Sammy Jay Spied him,
and calling to everybody within hear
ing, Sammy flew over to torment
Spooky.
Now, Spooky is a little fellow. He
really couldn't fight back, so once
more he disappeared from view. which
was the wisest thing to do. He went
down inside that hollow in the tree
But now he was no better off than he
had been in the first place, because
Drummer the Woodpecker was still
hammering away.
After a while Drummer grew tired
of drumming and flew away. 1t be-
came quiet. Spooky went to sleep.
But he hadn't been asleep very long
before Mrs. Drummer took it into her
head to drum on that tree.
So it went all the rest of the day.
Perhaps you can guess how glad
Spooky was when the Black Shadows
came creeping through the Green
Forest. Spooky didn't waste any time.
He flew straight over to the Old Or
chard. When he got there he went
straight to his old home. Mrs. Spoo1y
was sitting in the doorway.
"How are the children, my dear?"
asked Spooky.
"Well,. l hope" replied Mrs. Spooky,
"but l don't know much about them. -
What do you mean?' demanded
Spooky.
Mrs. Spooky sighed. Spooky wasn't
sure whether it was a sigh of thank
fulness or a sigh of sorrow. They
have started out in the Great World, y
said she.
You mean they have left home?"
asked Spooky.
Mrs. Spooky nodded. Yes" said
she You know l have been showing

left the Old Orchard"

a wee bit, that now there1l be room

Plenty of ROOM" replied Mrs
Spooky. Il certainly miss those chill

look wise.

you forget it. I'm as thin as shadow.
Make yourself at home if you want to
while I go out hunting for a dinner.
1t is a long time since I have had all

And so it was that Spooky returned
to the Old Orchard. while over in the

and little Mrs. Timmy the Flying

Flowering Spurge.

Deep woods and the banks of
streams are always full as a garden
of beautiful flowers. But we owe an
especial debt to any wildfower, how
ever humble, that will make seem
lovely the barren spots, the dry pas
lures and sandy wastes. That is what
the Towering spurge does for us.
Just now the fields and roadsides are
full of 1t. Especially down Prince
Georges County way, in the sandy
hills, you will find it everywhere,
dancing and nodding under the Au-
gust winds-as cool and prim a plant
as one might expect to find on a day
in June.
An astonishing symmetry marks
the Towering spurge, with it's trim
little opposite leaves, or sometimes
five or six leaves in q whirl. and the
plant repeatedly forks, usually as
from tlSe spokes of a wheel. and forks
again in the same manner with

Spooky the Screech Owl doesn't like
to have a fuss made about him. That
is one reason why he keeps out of
sight in daylight. OF course, another
reason is that the daytime is his
time for sleeping. But Spooky got
very little sleep after giving that
young woodpecker- who happened to
look in at his doorway such a fright
You see, after the other birds had de-
parted Drummer the Woodpecker
came to that tree and began drum
ming on the back side of it close to
where Spooky was trying to get
nap.
There was no sleeping with that rat
a-tat-tat going. 1t was as if Drummer
was pounding right on his ears. He
