TRUANT KIDS KEEP
WATCH ON AUTOS '
TIRE ABUSE COSTLY
ATTENDANCE
Seattle
CER8 SCOUR CITY IN
DO DOE CARS.
Ask any kid in Seattle who has a
tendency to play hookey once In h
while and he 'will tell you that he al
ways keeps a sharp lookout foe
'Dodge Brothers touring cars and road
aters.
Reason this is the type of car used
by the eight attendance officers of
the Seattle Bchool board, who scour
the city constantly for symptoms of
juvenile delinquency.
(More than one of these cars has
' pulled alongside the curb or glided
up to the swimmln' hole to the great
dismay of the youngster who had re
mained out of school to attend his
.grandmother's funeral. Out popped
the truant officer and before Jimmy
could move he was under cross ex
amination. '
(Now the Seattle school board has
made it a little easier for Johnny by i
giving him a reasonable chance to
"duck." The board has ordered that
There are two ways of mistreating
tire, one neglect and the other down
right misuse. To get proper mileage
on the investment involved it is nec
essary to give a tire occasional att'ea-
OFFI- tion, especially important being the
requirement that the inflation be
kept up to the prescribed figure.
''But it is equally important," says
Uuis Bauer of the Dalles Buick Qa
'rage company, dealers in Unltea
States tires, "that abuse be avoided.
How can ,a tlregive a good account of
itself if It is bumped and scraped
and hammered? Even the best tires
will look like poor ones under such
treatment, for they simply cannot
stand up under it."

this latter figure being1 equivalent
to about two weeks' production. Dur
ing the first quarter of the year the
Franklin company shipped and sold
2,546 cars.
SYRACUSE, (N. Y., April 29. in
dicative of continued good business
is the report that comes from the
ear. Bed hv attnnn friMr. h ! Franklin Automobile company which

one of the school officials. The objec
tion was reported by. a Seattle paper
as follows:
MMr. Fleming said in his communi
cation of protest that as Dodge Broth
ers cars are used exclusively by the
department, any Dodge Brothers car
.is instantly the object of suspicion on
the part of the juvenile population of
a community. To make them more
conspicuous by lettering would be
merely adding to the troubles of an
fWArhiirrianprt nnri unannraolattva nnh. '
lie servant. But the protest was over
ruled.'' The Seattle police department also
uses 10 Dodge Brothers touring cars.
The various departments of the city
and county together operate 37.
Little wonder the small boy regards
the familiar D. B. monogram with
suspicion.
"IDEAL SECTION". OF
ROAD NEAR CHICAGO
The "ideal section," soon to oe
built on the Lincoln highway, is ex
pected to become the most famous
piece of highway in the world. The
exact location has not yet been chos
en, but it has been intimated that the
section' may be constructed in In
diana, not far from Chicago.
The funds for building the ideal
section will be provided by United
States Rubber company," said Louis
Bauer, of The Dalles Buick Garage
company, dealers in United States
tires. "The company has always been
The price of sugar and the price
of silks may continue to slide down
the scale for the next two or three
years, and some makes of automo
biles may do likewise, but 'the Dodge
Brothers' cars are on a rock bottom
basis and'' will stay there.
So declared H. Hlgginbottom, dis
trict representative, in a letter y ester,
day to Harry Walthers, sales man
ager for the automobile department of
Walther-Williams company. In part
he said: I
"Anticipating that there might
still be a feeling in the minds of some
people in different parts of the coun
try that Dodge Brothers may reduce
price of their cars, our president, Mr.
F. J. Haynes, has wired me today as
follows: 'Any statement that Dodge
'Brothers have reduced or intend re
ducing prices is absolutely false. This
may be used for publication.'
"I am confident that none of my
dealers require this further assurance,
as Dodge Brothers' previous word is
sufficient, but our management feels
that' possibly a definite word from
them at this time will strengthen the'
statements you have made along this
same line.
"Dodge Brothers have always
bought most advantageously and man
ufactured most economically, and to
day their manufacturing stock is held
at today's replacement values. Since
their first cars were marketed, sev
en years ago, they have increased
their price less than any other manu
facturer but one and during that time
have added improvements which alone
offset, the increased price. They posi
tively know that they are giving hon
est value and therefore can see no
sound business justification for any
price reduction."
Interested in better roads, and has
undertaken this work in order that
the world may have a concrete illus
tration of the ideal type of road to
build.
