DODGE BRINGS
OUT new Line
New Models to Make
Debut at New York
Automobile Show

A new car, representing progress
sive principles Of engineering design
coupled with the ~ruggedness and de-
pendabiiity that characterizes Dodge
Brothers products. is offerd in the
Dodge Brothers Six introduced TO
the national simultaneously with tho
New York automobile show. Eight
body types in unique attractive color
combinations, and featuring many
r~efinements in mechanical detail,
comfort and appearance are offered.
The cars are q striking answer as
10 how Walter p. Chrysler intends
20 increase Dodge Brothers prestige,
for they incorporate features at a
price that only the uniting Of such
tremendous facilities could produce.
Body types available include the >
passenger phaeton, roadster with
rumble seat. 5-passencr sedan, s.
passenger dc luxe sedan. 5-passenger
brougham, s-passcnger Victoria. 2
passenger business coupe and dc
luxe coupe with rumble seat. Prices
are TO be announced when the car
is first displayed and production Is
under way on a record breaking scale
TO insure prompt deliveries.
at was our aim 10 add so con-
spicuously to the present acclaim or
the Dodge name that every Dodge
owner will feel even greater pride
In these latest creations" said Mr..
Chrysler, in connection with the new
ear announcement. I'VE ask only
that the public examine and test the
car in every way from the stand
point OF beauty, originality, luxury
and performance"
Mono-Piccc Body Construction
From the radiator emblem, the
Dodge Brothers original interlsced
triangles with wings added, to the
clean cut enameled housing that
conceals the gasoline tank, there IS
y touch Of artistic finality about the
car. A distinctive general appear
ance features the Mono-piece body
construction. Sweeping graceful
lines are accumulated by the modern
narrow radiator profile, and the
molding that encireles the body and
tapers across the cowl and along the
center hood hinge. Exterior hard
ware parts including lamps, bump
ers, radiator shell. hub hinge caps
and door handles are chromium plat
ed insuring n lstrous non-tarnish-
ing finish. Heavy steel tenders
are Of the exclusive Dodge one-piece
design with artistic beading along
the center. The chrome-platcd lamp
tie-rod and cowl bars are curved to
harmonic with the general lines Of
the car. The radiator cap is of
unique wing design.
The mono-piece body construction,
an exclusive feature Of all models,
provides rigidity and balance which
only this design can give. The body
is so mounted on the chassis that the
passenger load rides close to the
ground. Sidesway is eliminated and
safety is promoted. yet the inter-
Tors have been enlarged to afford
maximum vision and room for every
passenger. All possible body joints
in the mono-piece body have been
eliminated. Felt insulation between
the body and frame is further pro-
lection against vibration. Grucling
road tests have proven the bodies as
tight and firm after long usage as
when new.
All doors are unusually wide. PER

The doors are mounted on heavy
hinges, and fit in latches that assure
positive lock.
Inside coach work gives the i'm
preston of custom built design,
with mohair upholstery, in blue or
tan shades trimmed in broadlace.
Seat cushions are wide and deep,
tilted at the proper angles for rid
ing comfort. Rear seat compart-
ments are fitting with q smoking set
on the right side, and a vanity case
on the left. Arm rests are provided
in the rear compartments Of the de
luxe sedan, Victoria and brougham.
Butler silver finished interior fit
mcnts are IN ornamental leaf pat
tern, executed nto Harmonious de-
signs so that door handles, dome
lights and other interior hardware
conform with the nicely of fine jew
elry. The polished plate glass in
all closed models slides in specially
constructed felt channels, prevent
ing all vibration and r~attles.

Of plants and equipment designed
to give Graham-Paige direct con-
troll Of the important operations III
the building of fine motor cars.
During the year, a new body
plant at Evansville, Ind, was COM
pleted, which, with the body plant
at Wayne, Mich, now provides
for the building of 80 per cent of
all Graham-Paige bodies in the
company's own factories.
Erect Lumber Mill
A further important step toward
economical manufacturing was
made during 1923 in the erection of
a lumber mill at Perry, Fla, in the
heart of an important hardwood
territory. This plant assures a
supply at favorable prices Of high
quality hard-woods for body con-
struction, and by ~kiln-drying and
dimenSioning the lumber at Perry,
important savings in shipping costs
are made.
In the management of the COM
pany, the board of directors states,
four major objectives were sought
during 1928, as follows:
First. to build up and maintain
public confidence in the name and
the product of Graham-Paige; sec
ond, to develop a line Of motor cars
Of outstanding performance, COM
fort, appearance, and value; third,
to expand and coordinate manu-

LONDON.-Pam is dead. The lit

doctor in Stok Newington eight
months ago and caused a reign of
terror in that district, was finally
killed by one Of seven expert marks
men who were enlisted in the eff
forts to end her plundering and de-
structive campaign. Hundreds Of
shots were wasted In efforts to kill
her, but the little pest seemed to
bear a charmed life. At last, how
ever, she approached too close to
one of the marksmen and he
brought her down with a bullet be-
tween the eyes.

WOMAN DRIVER
Is QUEEN Bee
Manufacturer Give Smart
Colors And Conveniences
Just to Please Them
Nv PRUDENCE PENNY

Everything certainly seems to be
coming our way! Car dealers and
manufacturers are considering our
needs and desires, giving us Jul
favorite colors IN our favorite cars,
putting in vanity cases, ash trays,
everything they can think of that
might please us. The woman orlv-
err is the queen bee Of the whole
automotive hive. In the midst OF
all this popularity, it occurs to me
to wonder what we really do TO de-
serve it.
Are we playing the game on the
great highways as squarely as the
men do? Do they really K 10
encounter us in traffic when we
are at the wheel OF our own cars?
Are we as good drivers as the men,
and if not, why not?
Honestly, I do not believe we are,
or perhaps ever will be, as good
| drivers as men are, average for av-
erage. We have not the sheer ply
steal strength nor the physical
training. And nerves are un-
certain in tight places. We have
not played ball in our childhood,
as little boys do, and learned to
gauge speeds and distances.
Men Make it Safe
On the other hand, we've a lot
more caution-we have to have. And
we are not SO competitive. Men
instinctively lay back their ears
when anyone else tries to pass them.
At least we don't have the urge
to star tsilly races for no reason
at all.
But, seriously, I'd like to e us
influencing the driving OF cars as
much as we do their enamel and
upholstery. What about acquaint-
ing ourselves with the traffic laws,
for instance, and obeying them?
The men have certainly done their
utmost to make cars safe for us
to drive. If women drivers did as
much for safety, we'd get along
very well indeed The new Oak
land All-American six, for instance.
They've thought Of everything
even a foot button controlling the
tilt-ray headlights, so that you can
dim for IN approaching a without
taking a hand off the wheel even
for an instant. There's an instru-
ment board devised especially SO
that you can take in everything at
a glance and have the controls all
at your finger tips. And even the
coupe has an adjustable seat, so that
small women drivers are never
handicapped by not having a good
strong pressure on the pedals-and
yet their taller husbands are not
cramped.
Cars Match Clothes
There was an Oakland that I
felt was my affinity, because it just
matched my new winter coat. But
certainly" said the salesman, didn't
you know that General Motors has
stylistS in Paris who get advance
news of the smart colors from the
great costume houses, and then de-
velop the car designs accordingly?"
Imagine it.
A car like the Oakland, with
every mechanical excellence to talk
about, things like the harmonic
balancer, and the rubber biscuit en-
CINE mounting that would certainly
be all the selling points any man

Red-Headed Girls
Said Athletically
Inclined At I. c. u

FORT WORTH, April 6.-Red-
haired girls are more athletically
inclined than their sister blondes
and brunettes. At least this is the
experience of Mrs. Helen Walker
Murphy, director of physical train
ing for girls at Texas Christian uni
versity here.
Il cannot think Of a single in
stance in which a red haired girl
is not an all around good sport, and
loves to play at games as hard as
she can" Mrs. Murphy says. "They
usually have a pretty good fighting
spirit, too"
A recent survey showed some so
red-haired students at T. G. U.
Some Of them enjoy being "%Sorrel-
topped" and others think it is
somewhat of a disadvantage.
Il think red hair is a disadvan-
tage because it makes one conSpic-
uous," says one student. Another
observes: II am satisfied with my
red hair, but it is hard to keep
