business man. ia advocating a law
making It compulsory for every
driver of an automobile to pay for
Insurance that will cover personal
Injuries to others up to the amount
of 15000. As his proposal provides
for state Insurance opposition Is
certain but the principle that every
person should bo prepared to pay
for the damages he causes with an
automobile is sound beyond ques
tion.
But so long as thousands of
wild drivers are loose without
means of reimbursing those whom
they Injure it is the worst ort of
folly for nny one in modest cir
cumstances to ignore insurance for
himself.
Certainly no one upon whose
eairnings a wife or children depend
haa a moral right to face the risks
that are so numerous today with
out preparing for accident or illness.
SPOUSE CAN EVEN SCORES
GIVE OXTR WIFE A CAR FOR

Does your wife give you Christ

cleaners, electric irons, dining

Wives do that sort or tning, you
know; some of them even charge
the gifts to the husbands' account.
Yet, history does not record a
husband hardy enough to retaliate
by presenting his hotter half with
a humidor, a smoking jacket, or
a shot-gun.
Kov. however, his chance has
come. H. M. Jewett, president of
the Palge-Detrolt Motor Car com
pany, points out the way:
Give your wlfo a car for Christ
mas. She'll bo overjoyed, of course:
Incidentally, you'll get lota of
pleasure and comrort out oi it,

But bo Bure to pick a car that
is easy to sieer, simple to control
and above all, ono with positive

peace, you'll have to let the wife

Better Today Than New Cars

IiWTROlT. Mich. "The greatest i
bnriiulns In the motor Industry's
history'' Is tho manner In which
uoed cars of today r character
ised by Kenjnmin H. Cram, auto
motive authority and economist. In
the- current lusua of his national
draler svrvlco. 'Vram's Kaets nnd
Factors," Cram declares that the
average used oar of today haa In
It more value, than the average
new car of ten years ago, dmpitn
the fact that It la selling at the
lowest used car prlco ever. re-,
corded.
"Today- prewuila the greatest
bargain .opportunities for the man
sevkliiK usd car," ay ram.
This results from, tho changes
that have occurred and tho occurr
ing In tho used car market, and. In
tho attitude of people selling or
buying used cars.
"For somo tlmo back, and con
tinuing today, there has been a gi
gantic .landslide tho country over
from open to closed oars. This
has brought Into the used car
market, long beforo they ordinarily
would have reached It, hundreds
of thousands of open cars, which
are comparatively new and In flint
class shape, and which have In.
them a number of years of excel
lent service. These . arc being
traded in for closed cars. Tills
landslide right now Is at Ita peak,
because many open car owners
desire to drive closed cars during
the coming cold weather .
"In addition, thousands of nU
most unused cars of both open and
closed types, in most cases In the
lower-priced class, aro being
traded In for more powerful cars,
the price of which has been sharp
ly reduced since mid-summer.
The result Is that today there
are untold numbera of excellent
used cars on the market, which
have more service and long years
of llfu- In them, and which aro
available to the buyer at prices
lower than he has ever before ex
perienced. Further adding to this
lower price situation Is the fact
thnt tho landslide of cars Into the
used car market has compelled
many dealers nnd distributors to
offer them at the price at which
they were taken in rather than to
hold them for a higher price only
to find themselves with an un
manageable number of used cars
on hand. Also the dullest car sell
ing season of the year Is on hand,
and dealers prefer . to make no
profit rather than Inter take losses
on their used car stocks.
"It Is possible that never again
nlll buyers of used cars have the
opportunity to pick up the bar
gains that are now available. Cer
tainly" they never again will be
able to receive such high return In
high quality, long life and unused
mileage for their dollar."

Conqueror Of The Mongolian Wilds
Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews, who startled the
world a few years ago by ' discovering a nest of
dinosaur eggs ten million years old, arrived in
New York on November 9th from his Third
Asiatic Expedition under the auspices of the
American Museum of Natural History.
Again he attributes much of the success of his
expedition to the astounding performance of his
five Dodge Brothers Motor Cars.
Following is a direct quotation from an official
statement by Dr. Andrews upon his return to
America:
,)'':
The Gobi Desert in Mongolia is the most
extensive undeveloped and unexplored re-
gion now left in the world. Until a few
.... , . years ago it was retarded by the impossibly
.1, ' . slow traffic of camel trains, the only means
. of communication.
But now it is being crisscrossed in every
direction by motor cars, or, more correctly
by one motor car, the Dodge. Sixty or
seventy Dodge Brothers cars are making
regular trips far into the interior of this vast
waste, bringing out loads of sables, precious
furs, wool and other products.
No other car except the Docge is found there
because we have tried it out on each of our
three expeditions and have Had it demon
strated to our satisfaction that the Dodge
is the only car that will stand up under the
strain of the roadless desert and do every'
thing we ask of it.
Few people have occasion to subject their motor
cars to punishment of this severity. It is reassur
ing, however, to know that in emergencies Dodge
Brothers Motor Car is built to meet the test.
These dependable and sturdy qualities also ac-
count for the fact that more than .90 of all the
.motor .cars' Dodge Brothers have built during the
past eleven years, are still in active service.
