Best Year For
| Dodge Brothers

The wear 1924 was the most sue
cessful in the history OF Dodge
Brothers, according TO company ex-
ecutives.
While the automobile industry as
whole showed a production decrease
of per cent for the first ten
months of the year. compared with
the same period for 1928. Dodge
Brothers increased their production
and sales 1856 per cent.
The figures for the remaining two
months of the year showed about the
same percentage of gain. according
to John A. Nichols, Jr., general sales
manager.
1T will be recalled that 1928 was
the banner year of The industry,
Mr.. Nichols added. "Prior to 1924. it
was also Dodge Brothers best year
and in view of this, our large m
crease last year is especially note
worthy. :,
1T is not exceptional for small
company. or one that is Just getting
under way in business, to make such
an increase. But for Dodge Brothers.

largest motor car manufacturers in

this number are still in daily service,

Unusual Business

The public's response to the sharp
Price reductions on Hudson and Es-

Hudson and Essex dealer.
In the days since the public an

his concern has had the largest and
most consistent business 1t has ever
known at this season of the year.

Value in Blind Critic

There are no records OF any en-
xiueers having made this test but 1t
is believed by many that blind
messenger could offer a lot OF valu-
able data as. to whether cars are
properly constructed. This opinion
is based upon the results OF ride
in q new car in which a blind man,
a college graduate with his masters
decree, acted as critic-passenger.
=, Particular attention was given to
the action Of the four-wheel brakes
on the body of the car. To the
driver and owner the car just stop
ped quickly when the brakes were
applied, but the passenger was
, quick to note that the car was stop
ping all over" by reason of the
greater distribution Of the braking
force and that there was body strain
involving the door posts. He said
that he could feel this just as
definitely as the driver could see
moving, objects suddenly cease to
move when the brakes were applied
He added that the driver could easily
observe the same details II his at
tention were not continually kept up
to the point Of noting first what he
saw with his eyes.
There are new and vitality inter-
esting fields Of endeavor for the
: blind, and It Is possible that the
time will come when a progressive
factory will have its blind expert to
pass upon riding qualities, brakingi

Now You Have Il

Answers to questions propounded
last weekly
Some cars are equipped with eX-
haust manifoldS that carry the hot
exhaust gas forward and thence
through the exhaust pipe which
curves around under the carburetor
and on to the muff1er. The idea Is
to distribute the exhaust heat to bet
ter advantage. Since cylinder No.
(the one just back Of the radiator
and FAM Is always coolest some en-
gineers figure that the hottest and
biggest section of the exhaust mani
fold should be next to it.
The term "Hotchkiss drive" refers
to the method of transmitting the
motion of the chassis to the body of
the car through the rear springs.
The other methods consist of braces
or torsion rods which usually run
from the rear axle housing forward
to the transmission or some cross
member of the frame.
After the new engine has limbered
up its valves will tend to seat too
closely, thus preventing 1t from de-
veloping extra power until the
valves are re-ground or the tappets
adjusted for more clearance.

Tho Old Mechanic Says

no OIo mechanic DAYS
Just because the other fellow
drives a different make of car is no
reason why you shouldn't discuss
your car troubles with him. 1t may
be his opposite viewpoint that will
just give you the proper clue.
It's seem things from all angles
that helps diagnose trouble. and
once you have gone that far the
remedy is the easiest parts
One fellow who stores his car in
my garage started explainin' his
troubles to another car owner and
found that the other fellows car
was built along different lines. The
trouble had to do with the clutch. so
in order to keep the conversation
from goin' dead altogether they fell
their clutches worked. The first
thing they knew the fellow with the
trouble had found out why he
wasn't gettin' good results. He had
been givin' his car the sort of care
the other type of clutch required.
The trouble with tellin' your woes
to a morcrist who drives the same
make and model of car is that he
may be maxim the same mistake as
you. If you take his advice you may
be PAWN the way to more trouble.
Sometimes one owner will admit
that he treats his car the same way
as the fellow who's havin' trouble
and, just because he isn't havin'
any trouble. will lead the other fell
low to believe that the trouble will
vanish of it's own accord The
chances are that the second owner
hasn't had the trouble develop with
, his car because he hasn't driven it
far enough or because he hasn't
| made his mistake often enough.
Better talk your troubles over
with folks outside your own clan
once in awhile. New viewpoints are
better than new check book filters.

Four Timely TIPS

The slower you start when the
streets are slippery and you are
caught without chains the better.
That calls for low gear. but by re-
tarding the spark and letting in the
clutch gently you can apply power
to the rear wheels just that much
more gradually.
Hold the emergency brake partly
on if the clutch tends to transmit
the engine power too suddenly to
the slipping rear wheels.
Your spare tire chain and lock
will be found to be useful in getting
start under such circumstances.
Wrap the chain around the tire and
rim doing most of the spinning.
Some chains will. go around twice
and lock tightly. SO much the bet
ter.
If you can't get a start under any
of these plans try pushing the car
forward or backwards to a new posi-
ton.

What's the Answer?

Why does grease usually work
out on the right rear brake band
rather than on the left?
On what class of livery vehicles
do the stock insurance companies
waive the 21a depreciating clause,
and why?
Why are roller bearings not used
in automobile engines?

the week and look for the answers
in this colurnn next Saturday. You
may be wrong.)

Cramps Their Style

So influential has the automobile
become that the art of the theatre is
being shaped accordingly. No long
err can a playwright let his fancies
run wild nor stick in an extra act
tor good measure. The police de-
partment of New York expects n
certain playhouse to let out at a
certain definite time in order that
the cars of patrons can be moved
accordingly. The manager orders
the curtain down at this appointed
moment. The ACTORS hustle through
their lines in order that everything
shall go off like clockwork. And if
the poor author happens to have a
little more to say he must leave it
for his next play.
This IS the price of transportation
as 1t is handled in New York-that
is, as paid by dramatic art.

How Cold Is ltc

1t seems strange to many car
owners that with all the modern i'm
proyemen:s found on modern cars
the driver still takes the wheel with
only his own senses to tell him
whether it's hot or cold out. The
gamble often results in much in
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1925-01-31

convenience for passengers and, in
particular. much damage to the car.
Sometimes the driver will feel in
such good condition as to fail to note
that there has been a radical drop
in the temperature, and the result is
that he drives too fast for the half
frozen works under the hood. Other
times he may feel chilly and not
know that the temperature is not
low at all.
The answer is the thermometer,
placed where he can observe the
true conditions before he starts out.
A thermometer inside the closed car
also has its use. 1t might save
many n headache to know that the
windows ought to be opened.

Lessons From Accidents

The habit of putting the arm
throu;h the steering wheel between
the spokes in order to operate some
control on the instrument board can
easily be the basis of a bad accident.
IL nothing more serious happens the
fact that the arm is in such an
awkward position means that the
driver must of necessity be slow in
handling the car in an emergency.
In recent accident the driver was
obliged to make a quick swerve to
one side of the road, but he was de-
layed and hampered by the fact that
at the time the emergency call came

Ladies of the d. T. D.. r., the

the Methodist Brotherhood on Fri
day evening with a banquet and
program. More than a hundred
plates were laid for those invited
and the meal dispensed by the men
met with hearty approval. A very
pleasing program of short talks and
musical numbers had been arranged.
The banquet was the outcome of a
spirited membership contest between
the ladies' class and the Brother
hood of the church, and the losers
were the hosts.
In a pleasing and cordial way
Faul R. Greever welcomed the vic
tors and their escorts, and Mrs. C.

manner for the ladies. Several
stunts were i~nterspersed between
the several musical numbers and

POSTMASTER SONNERS
WINS BABY PACKARD

The Dave Jones Baby Packard,
the miniture automobile which has
been the envy of every boy and
girl of the Cody community for
several weeks, was given away on
Saturday evening, and Postmaster
Sonners, holder of No. 3741, was
the lucky man. Mr.. Sonners is as
tickled as any youngster could be
of his prize. and indicates thai one
OF his grandsons of Casper is about
to become owner of the finest little
automobile ever owned in the state.
Master Jas. Ratliff, who has come
to feel that he had al almost pro-
prietory interest in the prize car,
in view of the fact that he has
been Mr.. Jones' official demonstra-
tor and certified chauffeur, was
master of ceremonies at the draw
ing. With the numbers dumped
into n OF the large display win
dows of the store, a heavy bandana
was securely tied about Jimmie's
eyes and he mixed the numbered
slips to his hearts desire, finally
drawing No. 4767. He then drew
in turn numbers 1888, 1870, 14131,
1903, 1884, 12498, so, $685., 315S,
1278S and 10205. He then drew
the thirteenth number, which was
3741.
