and Engineering Efforts

For l6 years at New York

and outstanding appearance.

pendability has been so COM
pletely emphasized by the mile.
age marathon car that has COW
cred over $4,000 miles since July
I, Dodge is presenting a new six
and a new eight-in-line.
Changes Are Made
Retaining all of the depend
ability of their predecessors,
which involves the continuance
Of principles of engineering and
ruggednesS of construction, the
new Dodge six and Dodge eight
in-line add new achievements Of
grace and beauty of line; lower
centers of gravity through added
lowness and heightened wheel
base; improved peri forma n e
through engines of increased
horsepower, and a large variety
of refinements and improvements
affecting every unit of their de,
sign.
A motif essentially expressive
Of the finest blending of grace
and Solidity has been carried out
In the bodies of these new cars.
Beauty Is Keynote
The new Dodge eight is a
striking example of the modern
trend in automobile design. Beauty
begins with the double-bar
bumper and the deep nodded
radiator with automatic shutters
and continues with new and
delightful sweep of front fend-
erS; long, low hood, a tailored
fitting visor. chromium framed
windshield, and the now famous
an-steel mono-piece body.
This conception trimness has
been brought about by completely
unifying the design of chassis
and body. The wheelbase is 118
inches, which is four inches
longer than that of the standard
Dodge eight. while the overall
length is 180 21-32 inches. A
new double center-drop frame
was devised through the COM
bined efforts of the chassis and
body engineers, obtaining de-
crease of four inches in overall
height without lowering the head
room inside or cutting down the
road clearance.
Six Is Similar
In practically every detail in
symmetry and refinement, the
new Dodge six is a fitting COM
panion to the new eight-in-line.
The engineers have carried out
faithfully the new radiator shape,
the sweep of the tenders, the
close-fitting visor. the chromium
framed windshield, the mono
piece body, new frame with cen
ter-box reinforcement, and the
tnternal-expanding four-wheel ny
draulic brakes.
There will be available on the
six chassis a four-door sedan, a
business coupe, a coupe with rum
BILE seat, and convertible coupe
with rumble seat.

LEGION AWAITS
PERSH|NG BOOK
Comdr. 0'Neil Says Memoirs
Win Be Great Contribu-
ton to History.


TOPEKA, Kans., January CN.A.
N-A.J.-"Every member Of the American
Legion" said Ralph T. ONeil, national
commander of the American Legion, sis
anxiously awaiting the beginning of
Gen. Pershing's memoirs on January IL.
CThe Pershing book will appear in The
Star in daily installments, commencing
next Monday
"These men, who served under the
general In France, know only half the
story of the American participation in
the World War. Gen. Pershing can
give them. better than any man living,
the half they never saw.
1.-THE Legionnaires, continued Comdr.
ONeil, know about the mud and
CRIME, the shells and the fighting, but
only the general and his staff know of
the why and wherefore of every move,
the trials, the viciSsitudes and the anx-
iety of those who were responsible for
the moves
Contribution to History.
Gen. Pershing's memoirs will be a
great contribution to the history of the
war. Few Americans appreciate the
problems and difficulties Gen. Pershing
encountered when he was placed in
command of the American Expedition
AIRY Forces in France.
I'm my opinion, he will live through
history as a great executive and mill
tary leader He certainly can more ac-
curately record the part played by the
lifted States in bringing the World
War to a successful conclusion than any
other living American"
Comdr. ONeil has talked with Gen.
Pershing several times about details of
the book, and particularly that part
which refers to the work of the 5th
Division. Gen. Pershing reviewed the
5th several times during the war, and
It was one of those reviews which gave
Comdr. O'Neil a great thrill
The outfit had just come out of the
Argonne for rest.
1--WE were dirty" said ONeil There
wasn't whole uniform in the outfit.
Honest, we were the worst-looking lot
of soldiers you ever saw.
"F1ne Lot Of Soldiers"
"Gen. Pershing came along and
looked us over what we thought was
quite critically. When he got to the
end of the line he took another look at
the outfit.
what fine lot of soldiers and ON
GERS he said as he turned to other
duties.
I'VE nearly tainted"
Comdr. O'Neil had Just finished law
school and got himself elected county
attorney of Usage County, KanS., when
the war was declared and the call for
officers to go into training was made
O'Neil was one who resigned his public
job to go into the training camp. He
was assigned to the 5th Division when
his training was completed. He saw
much service overseas and was cited
for unusual bravery. The citation,
which O'Neil keeps hidden from curious
eyes. reads:
1.-THE night Of November 9, 1918,
while the 18th Infantry was advancing
from its position between BrandeviIle
and Murvaux toward Remoiville and
Louppy, by tireless efforts and utter
disregard for machine gun and shell
fire, he obtained and carried forward
telephone wire which was necessary to
establish telephone communication be-
tween the 18th Infantry p. G. and 10th
Brigade P. c."
The commander was a captain In the
18th Infantry of the 5th Division.

strict" Mr.. Hoshour said. 1.-THE pre-
sent code is Anticipated and uncer-
tain. Provisions governing such
matters as stockholders meetings.,
the powers Of boards Of directors
and the like are easy to interpret.
In many respects the statues are
indefinite and doubtful. When the
committee has completed a codifi-
cation of existing laws it will be
time for the Bar Association to de-
eide whether it wishes to urge pas
sage of an entirely new CODE"
The uniform business corpora
ton act, drawn by committee of
legal experts from all parts of the
country and already adopted by
several states, may be urged for
Minnesota, the university man said.
This code has been out since 1928. It
embodies the best modern thought
and practice in business corpora
ton law.
Laws governing co-operatives
and religious corporations are not
in question at the present time, Mr..
Hoshour said. Neither is there any,
thing to be done about the double
liability of stockholders in financ-
ial corporations. The Bar associa-
ton committee feels it will have all
it can do for the present to bring
the laws governing business cor
porations up to date. A report may
be made in time for the 1888 ses-
sion of the state legislature.

There is only one fade-in, when

Many Fountains No Better
Than the Common Dipper
Parents Advised to Investigate
School Drinking Facilities by
Physicians.

st. Paul Dec. 28-""Let's not
hand ourselves too many bouquets
about American progress in pub
lie sanitation not, at any rate, be-
fore reading the pamphlet on san
itary drinking facilities issued re-
Gently by the United States De-
partment of Labor"
This recommendation is includ-
ed in today's bulletin from the
Minnesota State Medical Associa-
ton. After reading the pamphlet
the doctors believe the bouquets
will be put on ice to keep drink
ing facilities actually provided in
schools.
OF 1900 public buildings investi-
gated by the Woman's Bureau
from 1928 to 1880, only forty per
cent had drinking fountains and
only fifteen per cent of these foun-
tains were of a satisfactory Kind.
The others, says the bulletin,
might just as well have been the
old fashion pail and dipper so far
as proection from infection goes.
Most of us long ago got away
from the idea Of the common
drinking cup, the doctors point
out, But we still have to learn that
there are drinking fountains and
drinking fountains, and some are
no blessing.
The common types of vertical
jet fountain in which water falls
directly back into the orifice of
the fountain are particularly
dangerous. To get a good drink
from such a fountain you are
tempted to put your mouth right
down on the porcelain. Such a foun-
tain is as bad as no so-called "san-
itary arrangement" at all. Germs
fall from the mouth of the drink
er back into the fountain and are
left on the edges.
"Real sanitary drinking arrange
ments", states the bulletin ode
mand either individual paper
drinking cups or the sangle-jet'
fountain from which a good flow
of water comes out at a sufficient
angle from the jet so that the
water does not fall back into the
orifice and the mouth cannot
come into contact with it.
Parents Teachers Associations
should very carefully investigate
their school drinking facilities the
bulletin concludes. Plenty Of
clean water is very important to
the comfort and well being Of
zchildren. But sanitary facilities,
that are not sanitary, contribute
enormously to school epidemics Of
serious disease. No School and no
association is so poor that 1t can
not at least provide individual
paper drinking cups for the child

employed by the Great Northern
Railway Company and for 81
years was a conductor. For many
years he was a conductor on the
"K' line and as a result he had
