Assuming that the public is en titled to know what it is buying. especially when such purchases in volte the possibility of accident,' of c ohtlnued dissatisfaction, tiodge Brothers have again asked their dealers to warn motorists that the market is flooded t with counterfeit service parts of every description. i . Some of these parts, it is said, are rpresehted ' as gehnine. In other instances, the phrchaser is led to believe that the counterfeit pkrt is exactly the same as . the genuine, even though ; It is not manufactured by the builder of the car on which the part Is to be used to .replace ; another part. Dodee Brothers contend that the buyer '.Is the victim.'. of misrepre sentation in either case. The results of a long series of tests in the Dodge Brothers labor atories Indicate that the fflOtoTist is not only fooled, as a general rule, when he pays out "good mon ey for counterfeit parts, but that he sometimes places himself in ac tual danger. For example, a" genuine Dodge Brothers rear axle withstood -six complete turns in a twisting test, while the best of several counter feit shafts v withstood only ,1 turns. Again, a genuine steering knuckle bolt bent almost double, without breaking, when put under tremendous pressure.: When the same testwas applied to a count erfeit knuckle bolt, it snapped in two immediately. . "Such tests show very nlainlv that it is. dan serous to ferfelt parts," said Russell Bone-1 Steele . of ' the: oBnesteele Motor company, ; local Dodge . Brothers dealer. "The least that can be said for such part is that they are a source ; of endless expense and inconvenience to the man who is, unfortunate enough" to have them in his car. The worst that can be said is that they actually jeopardize ; the safety of passen gers. , Every man and woman who ever drove a car can readily ap preciate what might happen if a vital part should give wav on a hazardous grade, or in a street crowded with swiftly moving traf fie." years "and thS remainder will be honor mn of tn naw.

Elihu Vedder, the noted American painter bf raidwestern- birth, chose to spend more than 60 years in Rome rather than practice his profession at home. Sb spoke' George . R. Bafse, Vedder's Con feree and neighbor on the island of -Capri,- who has "just brought here an exhibition of some of Ved der's works. For that same reason. I make Capri my home," Mri Barse said. causing some of onr other Ameri can artists to spend most of their time abroad. Ia this country, I would have to pay .$1.2 5 an hour for a model, and engage her from an agency. I could never adjust myself to this cut and dried stan dardized way of working. Per haps the yonnger .men can, bnt'I am of the old school. - "Over there I hire a model to pose for me exclusively, and, it is Understood, that she Is to pose forme whenever I need her and as long as I want here to. I pay her $15 to 18 a month and when I am away she can work' at any thing else she desires."-. iJERSLlXS COURT TOURISTS ; HAMBURG, Mar. i.
