DODGE PRIZES
FOR A SLOGAN
TOTAL $2O,0 900

Keen interest Isl being shown by
motorists all over the country in
the Dodge Brothers, Inc, $4,000
slogan contest launched the. first of
March.
There is a total of 7O8 prizes
and anyone has a chance to. win
one of them The contest closes at
midnight March 81.
For the person who submits the
best slogan of 10 words or less in
length, a cash prize of $1,000 will
be given. The slogan must de-
scribe the performance of the car
from impressions obtained in driv-
ing OF riding in the new Victory
Six The lower center of gravity
of the victory car, the powerful,
flexible motor, the ease of riding
and the feeling of safety in the
battleship type of body construction
are features which may suggest the
winning slogan.
According to rules of the con-
test, it is not necessary to be a car
owner to compete. The winning
slogan must be submitted by per-
son who has received demonstra-
tion in a Victory Six. All that is
necessary is for the person entering
the contest to apply to the nearest
Dodge Brothers dealer for dem
onstration card which contains the
rules in detail and on which the
slogan may be written.

deSign-hCavily constructed and fit
ting tightly-but above the belt line
the structure consists only of a strong
but slender steel frame to hold the
window glass in place.
"The doors close against hollow
springy rubber tubing, with no metal
to-metal contact whatever. A quarter
inch clearance is maintained between
the outer edges of the door and the
door jambs. The door is thus liter
ally insulated from the body, yet a
tight and permanent joint is assured.
The whole sllmmed-up result is indi-
viduality and distinction of appear
ance, permanent silence, and better
visibility. Similar designs have been
used in custom cars costing from
$4,000 to $1,000, but Hudson is the first
standard maker to adopt the idea.
Another distinctive item in these
models is the use of aluminium body
panels instead of the customary sheet
steel. This saves the weight of one
or two passengers in each body, MAX
ing the cars more economical to drive
and five to 10 miles an hour faster
Aluminium is more expensive than
steel, but expense has not been spared
in these de luxe cars"

WILLYS.KNIGHT'
DEMONSTRATION
ALL THIS WEEK

Special demonstrations have been
arranged by G. E. Pettingall, local
Willys-Overland merchant, 121G G
avenue, to show the outstanding
mechanical features of the entire
Willys-Knight line of cars, empha-
sizing especially the new WHY'S
knight standard six which was re-
Gently introduced by the WHY'S
Overland company.
This new six, powered by WHY'S
knight sleeve valve engine, is the
lowest priced Willys-Knight six ever
built by the Toledo manufacturer.
and sells in the $1150 class, Mr..
Pettingall says. He also points out
that this. new car reaches an en-
tirely new field of buyers since
thousands were formerly prevented
from owning a Willys-Knight six
because of price consideration.
The first of these mechanical
demonstrations was staged during
the week and created such unusual
interest among motor car enthusi-
asts of this locality that it was de-
cided to continue the demonstra-
tions during the coming week.
These demonstrations disclose Nthe
actual operation of the K ii g t
sleeve valve engine as compared
with the operation of power plants
of other design.
"The trend among the motor car
buyers above the $1,000 price class
is decidedly toward cars employing
the Knight sleeve valve engine"
according to Mr.. F'ettingall, "and
this new Willys-Knight six in a
lower priced field fills the demand.
Tests conducted by the factory have
proved its speed, stamina, power
and economical operation"
The new Willys-Knight standard
six is companion car to the
Willys-Knight special six and the
Willys-Knight great six, which sell
in a higher price classification.

Band Boosters Explain Mat

Lynn S. Palmer, chief promoter
of the Douglas Boy Scout band,
announces the arrival of an addi-
ditional $500 Sousaphone for the
band. The great beautiful instru-
ment has been unpacked and as
sembled and delighted boy IS
practicing with it.
Palmer reports a hardness on the
part of the public in the matter OF
funds for the payments on these
fine instruments and for the pur-
chasing of the uniforms for the
band. He brings out that no solicit
ing for funds is contemplated. No
one is to be asked to give a cent
No one is asked to give any certain
amount.
What the men and women want
who are working for the Boy Scout
band in order that the scouts and
Douglas shall have as fine a band
will donations. In other words,
everyone who believes that the band
is good thing is asked to bring
whatever sum of money they can
give to the fund, to L. S. Palmer
or mail it to him or to any scout
leader in the city.
From time to time as the list OF
contributors grows the nawes will
be published in The Dispatch so that
each contributor will know that his
contribution has been received and
so that others will know what per-
sons and firms believe enough in
the Boy Scout band to want to help
pay for it.
