COOKING
PROCESS old
Descendant of Line of
Methods Stretch
ing Far Back

The coking process employed By
the Ford Motor company at the Ford
son plant is the scientifically effici-
ent descendants of long line Of crud-
er methods stretching back into the
10th Century.
Early methods OF obtaining coke
from coal were extremely simple,
rude. and faulty. At first the coal
was heaped in a pile having vents for
draft purposes, and inclosed in n
shell Of clay. After days Of slow
burning this process netted a small
amount of merely disable coke. The
next fem Of concerter to appear was
the beehive" oven, thus named be-
cause of its shape. Rounded conical
chambers we're charged with coal.
and neat was applied externally. No
attempt was made to recover any
~by-products, though a portion of the
gases driven off during the coking
operation was burned to supply heat
to the ovens. The remainder poured
into the air as smoke thicker and
more plentiful than that of a soft
coal fire. Both the partial utilization
of the gases and the superiority of
the coke marked the beehive" method
as an advance in coking practice,
and there was a considerable reduc-
ton in coking time.
Probably no better example OF

Champions Used
In Heighth Mark

The Italian flyer, Donati, used
Champion spark plugs in his Romeo
Jupiter engine when he recently set
a new world altitude record of S.
7s3 feet over Milan. Italy. Cables to
the Champion Spark Plug Co, at To-
ledo. O., report the planes instru-
ment readings as indicating that tenn.
peratures as low as 76 degrees below
zero Fahrenheit were encountered.
Champions accomplishment in Do
MATHS plane is the second world air
mark to be made by those spark plugs
within three months. Last autumn.
Major Mario de Bernardo shattered
all former world air speed records
when he drove his special Fiat Macchi
plane over a measured course near
Venice, Italy. at 1851 miles an hour.
These two accomplishments, i'm
posing two different types of ire
mendoas strains on spark plugs, are
an index of the remarkable ability
that Champion has developed in its
two-piece spark plug construction,
with special electrodes and silliman-
tic cores" comments r. A. Strana-
han, Champion president. "While

DODGE POLICY
ISANNOUNCED
k~eadjustment Plans
Complete With Vic
tory Six

With the recent nozncemen Of
2 e victory Six by President Z. c..
wilmer, it becomes evident that
Dodge Brothers, Inc, has definitely
entered upon a policy Of diversified
ton after many years during which
the company operated in a single
price field. Mr., Wilmer stated that
the announcement of the Victory Six
was the final step in an extensive
program of readjustment which the
company has been undergoing for the
last year and n half, conducting its
current business without interruption
IN the meantime.
The 1928 plans Of Dodge Brothers
include production of three separate
lines of passenger cars. The stand
ard four cylinder line starts at S7o5
I. o. b. Detroit. the entirely new Vic
tory Six line is priced at from S1,O45
TO $l,1T0, and the recently announced
Senior models range between 81 ,495
and 1885. The Graham Brothers
truck division, now fully owned by
Dodge Brothers, Inc, will continue to
manufacture a comprehensive line of
commercial cars, truks. in five capac-
tiles from l-2-ton to 2 ton. and motor
coaches. Part Of the line is powered
with four cylinder and part with six
cylinder engines.
IL has been estimated that the de-
veiopment and introduction Of the
new lines has cost Dodge Brothers.
Inc. between nine and ten million
dollars. including new plant facilities
and machinery. Despite these ex-
penditures and the reduction in sales
which accompanied the transition
from q single to n multiple line Of
cars. the company has come through
the first nine months of 1927 with all
charges and preference dividend re-
auirements fully covered and with
S~3.252,244 earnings applicable to the
common stock. Total earned surplus.
as Of Sept. so, 1927, was SOS. 70 .633.
Figures for the last quarter will not
be available for several weeks, but
there was nothing in the situation
during October. November and De-
cember to indicate any considerable
alteration. one way or the other, in
the compsny's financial position.
Marked increase in the activities at
the Dodge factories here has been OBJ
served during the last few days. II is
current knowledge in Detroit that the
working force is being augmented
substantially. one of the local signs
that production is being stepped up.
From official sources il has been
stated that the competitive position
of the Dodge organization has been
materially fortified by the new and
diversified lire Of products. and that
the 1928 prospects for large produc
tion in the Dodge plane are consider
ed excellent

driving conditions and an acceller-
alton of 10 to so miles an hour in q
