OF these contests are already being

ANNOUNCES new
Line OF TRUCKS
NODES Designed to Meet
All Transportation
Needs, Is Claim.

Built to meet all types Of trans
portation needs, new line Of trucks
for 1886 was announced today by
the Dodge division of Chrysler Corp.
through j. D. Burke, director of
Dodge truck sales.
According to T. o. Ewing, Indi-
annapolis district manager for Dodge,
the outstanding features Of these
new models are: Fore point" load
distribution, hydraulic brakes, pre-
proved" economy, beauty III appear
ance and Amola steel springs. The
new chassis models offered include
the one-half, three-quarter, one, one
and one-half Gin two series, two,
three and four-ton models. Spe-
cially built custom Airf1ow models
also are to be offered.
point" load distribution.
through which the load has been
moved forward in relation to the
syleS, is an important innovation
This insures greater stability, min
imum of overall length, more near
ly equalized wear on brakeShnd tires
and in general, more efficient
hauling unit
One of the major changes in the
construction of the new models is
the adoption of a strictly truck
type of frame on the one-half ton
commercial car. This double drop
frame is deeper in side rail cross
section and has five truck-type cross
members, including the rear engine
support. The commercial sedan is
an exception, in that Dodge uses its
passenger car chassis to afford pas
Senger car riding comfort for the
commercial traveller and other large
groups Of users whose personal
transportation needs also call for
load capacity for the carrying of
merchandise.
Outstanding fuel and oil economy
have been developed through six
major mechanical features and adj
vantages. They are: Aluminium
alloy pistons, four piston rings, full!
length water jackets, valve seat in
serts, spray cooled exhaust valve
seats and special oil cooling
Doors of all the 1886 trucks and
commercial cars are hinged at the
front.

NEW YORK. August 17.-Revenues
for the transit industry. based on tele-'
graphic reports received from a repre-
sentative group of transit operating
companies. for the week ended August
8. 1886, showed continuing improve
ment over last year. Transit Journals

For the week ended August l, 1886,
the indicator was l09.ll.
Advent of August showed little
change in the rate Of improvement of
transit revenue. In certain Eastern

sharply, which apparently was due to
the exodus of residents for the vsca-
