.RD NEWS, BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1922 Q DOMX BROTM BOILDNEWCOU Cl«ieii Car for Business Men Is Distinct Achievement In Automotive Field First With All Steel Body—Other Cars H«ve New Design. Behind the simple phraseology of an announcement which Dodge Bro thers, Detroit automobile manufac turers, are publishing today in every improtant city and town in America lies the story of a new achievement in automobile development. “Dodge Brothers announce a business coupe; conservative changes in the body de sign of all other types,” the adver tisement reads. The business coupe is the first all- steel closed car ever marketed. ^ In this respect it takes a new distin^ place in automotive history, for it involves an entirely unique principle of coupe body construction. The steel body not only practically eli minates the problem of ^limited pro duction. due t» the tedious and in dividual workmanship required on wood bodies, but also enables the manufacturers to give the coupe the same lustrous baked enamel finish which has already contributed so .nuch to the reputation of Dodge Bro thers open cars. This process in it self will also facilitate quantity pro duction, as an enormous amount of time was consumed heretofore in ap plying the numerous coats of paint required on wood. Naturally, these are important fac tors in the determination of the sell- ine: nrice, resulting in economies which Dodge Brothers are passing directly to the purchaser. “Wood is practically eliminated from the con struction of this car,” said Jesse A. Smith, the local dealer. “Even the frajnework and panels are of steel, and the natural result ig lighter, qui- ters aHfi more durable car. Steel pro lent? life and reduces the possibility of squeaks and rattles. “The business men of America have been expecting such a coupe and Dodge Brothers have given it to lhp”i. “It is in reality a coupe at a roadster price. While it is (asily attractive enough for any use, it is partcularly designed for the business man—who needs the comfort and protection of a closed car in his work, but who can easily get along without a few of the luxui'ies which, in the past, have made the closed car ?o expensive. The business coupe is built inside and out to with stand the wear and tear of every c’ay use—and yet it retains the same lightness and beauty of line which ^’veryone is accustomed to look for in Dodge Brothers closed only what I might term tl>'- tion liabilities of the mere xr’nsivo coupe. It is upholsteroJ ni ?-c luine leather, has a wide. . rtraight seat , is equipoe.i • cv.l tires, heater, dome light, windshield cleaner and adjustmonts for raising r” ’ lowerin" windows. The doors "•ith new easy closing Yale locks, j'hore is more than the usual amount of leg room a.id convenient and spa cious luggij'e coiiipartinoiits are pro vided. Doctorr.. ri?al csia*;e men and salesmen of ali ki.ids will find it iust the car they nr*,d. We already have good indications c*f a »rcmen- dous denvinj. “The change of design in th** othe - P'lng-e Brothers cars indicates t v’hile Dodge Brohters have al ’ -^ys adhered closely to the practical v;hey are also progressive and abrea.2^oi!&' time. It is Dodge Brothers nolicy to fnake improvements year after year «nd month after month and this is pimply another step forward”. Adv.

Edinburgh.—Many people in Scot land today are seriously concerned re garding the neglect of porridge by tlie masses of the people. Two years ago there were doubtless sound economic reasons for the house wife turning from this national dish, as the price was high, but there i§ no ectonomic reason now for the boycott of porridge. W'hereas the offlolal in dex figure of the cost of living is still over 90 per cent above the prewar level, the oatmeal figure Itself will be nearer 40 per cent and the milk lig- ure (in Glasgow) is exactly 50 per cent over prewar values. So that one must look for other ex planations. Most authorities are agreed that the main factor in weaning the great mass of the Scottish pub lic from porridge was the change in the starting hour on public works. Oatmeal millers expected that when the costs fell cheapness would effect a cure for the trouble. But despite such publicity of the exceptional value which porridge offers today, the pub lic remains shy of it. One oatmeal trader now actually suggests an appeal to the king. Ap parently his hope Is that royt;! exam ple will succeed where the strong card of cheapness has failed.

ALBATROSS FLIES 3,000 MILES Bird Follows Ship Six Days and Sev en Nights on Pacific Without Furling Wings. Seattle, Wash.—Starting from a small solitary island near Jair.m a hlack-headed albatross followed a steamship across the North Pacific for six days and seven nights. It became an object of unusual interest among both passengers and crew and several big wagers as to its length of flight and duration of strength. Meat and bread tossed to the bird during the day was picked up from the waves without the great wings be ing furled. For six days and seven nights the race kept all at fever heat with excitement, and when 3,000 miles from the Japanese island and follow ing a greedy breakfast of meat and fish the albatross turned abruptly and was lost In the distant horizon. The ship was then 1,900 miles from the nearest Alaskan port, but the bird Is believed to have flown straight home. Berlin Potash Trade Revives.
