DODGE STILL HAS A TRANSMISSION
Runl0r Is Premature, Say Engineers-Has Some
 Background
UNIT SIMPLIFIED

Detroit, Nov 12.-There is no truth in the widespread rumors which have led many people to believe that the new Dodge cars were designed to operate without transmissions. These stories re- gently reached such circulation that General Sales Manager A. Van- DerZee requested, his dealers by wire to induce their papers to con- tradict them.
 "A bit premature" said Geo Allen, Dodge's chief engineer, who certainly should know. But" he continued, "just as there is fire where there is smoke. there is 2 background of reasonable proH- ability to these 'Dodge-WithoGt- Transmission tales.
 "The public will encounter in the new Dodge a good many novel things--among them transmits sion that acts as if 1t were not there by refusing to make noise like transmission, either in gear- shifting or in running.
 s'As far as Dodge is concerned, the days of the rasping and grat- ing ed-changing and of growl- Ing gears are positively over. AS matter of fact. the veriest mo- vice changes speeds in the new Dodge just as expertly as the sea- soned veteran. Neither could bungle the job if he wanted to.
 The best part of 1t is that the silencing of the new Dodge trans- mission--you see, l admit we have one--is achieved not by making the unit more complicated but by making 1t more simple.

cided that the news Of the battie
should be taken at once TO London
and be given to synpathizers with the
American cause before the British OF
ficials could present it TO the public
In a light favorable TO their side OF
The argument. The man who was TO
carry this message must be man Of
discretion and courage, for ii was GER
tain that he would be arrested by the
officers of the crown If his mission
became known. So Ii was entrusted
to Capt. John Derby, a well-known
Salem skipper who was to make the
journey on the packet Quero He was
ordered TO make for the port of Dub
lin or any other Irish port that seemed
wise and proceed from there TO Lon
don. To his orders WAS attached this
imperative postscript: you are to
keep this order a profound secret from
every person on EARTH
After voyage of % days the Quero
reached England As further safe
guard against betrayal Of his plans.
Captain Derby did not put in at an
Irish port ms he had been ordered to
do but sailed to the isle of Wight and
then went overland to Southampton
ind London. There he Immediately
jamin Franklin. the Massachusetts
agent In London, and the next day pa
triot sympathizers throughout England
knew of the result of the battles.
That the officials Of the crown knew
that an attempt would be made to
bring this news to England Is shown
by the fact that they were on the look
out for such messenger. who they
believed would be Captain Brown.

ever. did not arrive in England till
June 8 and by that time Captain Der
by's quick trip in the Quero had re-
suited in presenting to the British pub
lie first the patriots side Of the story.
Although Captain Derby had full
filled his mission successfully he was
not yet out Of danger. There was
still the chance that agents Of the king
would try to capture him and his prep
arations for departure from England
were as mysterious as they had been
for his leaving America. There was
still danger, too, from the authorities
when he returned to America and so
he made a secret landing upon lis re-
turn to this country. One other item in
berby's exploit Is interesting. In rem
dering his bill to the provincial con-
gress for the trip, he made no charge
for his own expenses. It was his con-
tribution to the patriot cause.
