A Dodge Brothers Motor Car . . . A speeding truck rac
ing down hill and out of control . . . A collision ....
Take one look at this photograph. It 13 not
pretty, to be sure, but it will convince any
s wsible man that all steel construction is the
only safe construction for a motor car body.
That is why Dodge Brothers introduced
the all steel body more than eleven years
ago, and this year greatly improved and '
perfected it.
In fact, Dodge Brothers are convinced that
the day is not far off when wooden motor
car bodies will 'be a curiosity. People will
shudder at the thought of having ridden in
them and will thank Dodge Brothers for
the greater safety, durability and beauty,
too of all steel construction.
A steel body will stand up under impacts
that would crush the average body to bits.
Steel cannot splinter. Steel cannot burn.
Steel is an armor of protection on tJ-.e
crowde-J, hurrying highway.
Outwardly, nearly all types of bodies ap-.
pear to be all steel. In reality, however,
most of them are simply frames of wood
covered by a metal shell.
Dodge Brothers Motor Car bodies are steel
through and through steel reinforced by
sred buttressed and braced by steel
even the frames arid runningboardsaresteel.
And slender, stronger steel corner posts re
pb.ee the customary bulky posts of wood,
:;Tording full, unhamperol driving vision
on ell sidi.i a safety feature of the first
importance! '
Travel in safety! Powerful, quick-action
brakes, a chassis world-famous for its sturdi
ness, and a body of steel these explain the
enviably reputation for safety enjoyed by ,
Dodge Brothers Motor Car and the envi
able fee ling of safety enjoyed by those who
drive it.
The car will continue to lie a "four. " A'u rtscsoning buyer will be die-
traded from the issue of QUALITY hy intra CYLINDER propaganda.

unuouneed by Jennlng and Shu
mate, local distributors. The "1'nl

tures of the $.0u0,ono expansion
program luaugumted several
months ago.
"Officials; are guarded In their
sfntmwnls . regarding the new as
sembly line, hut admit that it .will
undoubtedly be the highest devel
opment In assembly systems so fur
worked out In the automobile In
dustry," they say. -
"nulck engineers and production
men have, according- to Iho an
nouncement, made sweeping Im
provements on the type of assem
bly line now in vogue in most of
the plants throughout the country.
The assembly linn is used for the
rapid assembly or various parts of
a motor car which have previously
been accurately built, machined und
tented. These parts are 'fed to the
line from various departments
throughout the" factory, Mich-ready
Tor the finished cur, so that, when
they reach the line and are assem
bled the completed and lested car Is
driven .off under Its own .power,
ready for shipment. Itemizing that
the: assembly ln has boon one. of
tho ( most important developments
of the Industry in speeding produc
tion and inuklng possible, tho out
put or motor curs In .quantity, the
in irk Motor company has paid
particular attention to its develop
ment. As a result or this -work,
the- ','lTnified- I-ine". will .soon be
ready for production. t . ,
''There has been no definite an
nouncement of what new features
the "t'nified Mne" will embody,
but it Is understood that several
lines now scattered among other
buildings in the IfmYk plant will
bo brought side hy side undc one
roor. Orlclals huvc refused to
comment on, tho numtier of cars
euch line will be capablo, of assem

- The Increasing number of acci
dents ot highway grade crossings
has led to the adoption of a policy
looking to the elimination of such
mgcrous crossings wherever prac
ticable on federnl aid roads. Tho
policy, which has mot with tho gen-,
rotift support of the states. Is that
nil existing grade crossings on the
frdernl aid -highway system shall bo
classified for priority of elimination
by agreement between the bureau
of public roads and tho state high
