those who know the volume that
has been attained can readily
understand how Dodge Brothers
were able to make a reduction
when others were announcing ad
vances.
Four Dodge Brothers cars are af
fected by the reduction—the spe
cial Touring Car. special Roadster,
special "A" Sedan, and special 4-
Fassenger Coupe. The “B” Sedan
and the Business Coupe have also
been added to the line of special
types.
As the reduction was made pos
sible by economies effected In the
purchase of equipment used exclu
sively on the special type cars, the
standard types are in no way af
fected, according to O. M. Jones,
local dealer. The prices of all
standard types remain unchanged.

the number of attendance but In
the enthusiastic und practically

the crowds who visited over 3,000
Studebnker show-rooms through

20 to 30 Cart Approved Hourly.
During the rush of the first SO
hours many Htudibaker dealers,
particularly In larger cities, were
completely unable to keep pace
with the orders for new cars.
Show-rooms were kept open until
midnight, In many Instances, nnd
even than people had to be asked
to leave.
In nearly every large city old
cars were appraised at the rate
of from 20 to 30 an hour, on pro

generally reported that salesmen
could not begin to serve all who
desired to place orders.

about these beautiful, radically
new models.
Duplex Body a Sensation.
An upper structure, framed and
shaped in steel, Is Integral with the
lower body.—a fundamentally new
principle. It was explained that
this construction makes possible
a beauty of top-lines harmonious
with the lower lines, and obviously
permanent.
By use of substantial curtains,
operated on concealed spring rol
lers a powerful, alert, open car Is
converted In less than 30 seconds
Into an entirely enclosed car offer
ing comfort and protection from
wind, rain or snow. These cur
tains are fitted with a special,
extra-wide window, and so provide
an entirely unlquo combination of
open car advantages with 4-door
closed-car protection.
Unexpected Beauty Creates Furore.
A very flood of telegrams and
letters has poured In to the main
Btudebaker office, bene.
The commandingjy beautiful
linos that distinguish each of the
new cars do not follow any thing
that other American or foreign
makers have attempted. It Is said,
They have excited comment alto
gether unique in automobile his
tory, It Is positively stated upon
authority.
Details Closely Observed.
"And people have taken the
keenest interest In each detail of
this appearance: the now, extra
deep-crowned fenders built for bal
loon tires, tho big, dark tires them
selves, the natural wood wheels,
tho brilliant, nickeled radiators,"
tho same official Is quoted. "The
satiny, new lacquer finish which is
used on six of the new models has
come In for a great share of tbit
praise, as have the unusually at
tractive color scheme out - designers
have worked out.
"The same is true of the genuine
Spanish leather upholstery of Du
plex models or tho fine, soft mohair
of closed bodies. The now winged
raldator caps, the headlights nnd
cowl-lights--each pf entirely n«w
nnd unusual deslgrlS each piece t>f
hardware -which speaks Its own
high quality, tho utter complete
ness of equipment with those new
models: 1 personally believe that
theso smaller details have done ns
much ns any ono of tho larger bet-
I torments to convince the American
public, In shorter time than over
! before accomplished, that Ftude
bnker has produced new cars of
value such ns Is without precedent
In automobile history."
SNAKES SUFFER
NEW YORK. —Snakes and sish —
not polar bears —suffer most from
the heat. They are the ones who
most feel a rise of tho mercury, be
cause even though they have been
called "cold-blooded" for genera
tions, the heat of their bodies rises
and falls with tho temperature
changes. A snake will get warmer
nnd warmer and finally die If ex
posed to a very hot sun. according
to Raymond Dlttnars. curator of
tho New York Zoological Gardens.

OLDS NEW COACH
FIVE-PASSENGER
A 5-passenger coach, combining
comfort and style with moderate
price, has been added to the Olds
mobile line, it was announced to
day by the Olds Motor Works, Lans
ing Mich. The coach was design
ed and Is made by the Fisher Body
Corporation and is the first coach
type of closed body to be manu
factured by that well known manu
facturer.
While the now model has been
named coach, it is virtually a two
door sedan, having the same ap
pearance and refinements included
in all tho closed models of the
Oidsmobile line. It Is being intro
duced to meet the growing demand
for closed lAars, which now form
more than 70 per cent, of the en
tire production of the Olds factory.
The coach Is made of metal panels
from floor to roof and Is finished
In the rich blue Duco which was
adopted as standard for Oldsmobiles
several weeks ago. The body has
gracefully rounded curves at the
back and Is nearly the same length
air the standard sedan. The roof la
covered with heavy waterprooj
grained fabrlkold, which same ma
terial is used to cover the metal
sun visor. «
The doors are exceptionally wide,
being 33 inches, and allow easy en
trance nnd exit to and from both
rear and front seats. Heavy plate
in the doors nnd sides of the coach
being 30 by 17 Inches. The door
windows lower flush with the bot
tom of the frame, while those In
the side of the body lower more
than half way, giving open ear
ftoolness and ventilation during the
hot weather period. All windows are
operated by quick action turn lift
ers.
The coach is equipped with the
new Fisher one-piece, ventilating,
clear vision windshield, which was
recently Introduced by the body
building company. The Oidsmobile
coach is the lowest priced car to
have this new feature.
The interior is upholstered in
grey velours, the sides nnd top be
ing one tone and the seats a two
toned striped velour.
The coach has more than the
ordinary amount of head room, be
ing four feet from floor to top. It
is 70 Inches from the instrument
hoard to the back seat. This seat
Is 22 Inches deep nnd 46 1-2 Inches
wide. There Is an 18-lnch space be
tween the front of the rear seat and
tho back of the rullman type driv
er's seat. The seats have high grade
springs and the cushions are 7 1-2
Inches deep.
Cowl lights with frosted glass
faces, an automatic windshield
wiper attached to the outside of the
car under the sun visor to eliminate
any operating noise and connected
with the Intake manifold, and a
the carrier are standard equip
ment.
The coach Is priced $1,065 at the
factory.
CHILDREN STILL SOLD
In Some of Provinces in
China
ANKING, China. —That the sell
ing of children and especially of
girls, 1* still prevalent in China
away from the foreignlzed centers

curred a few days ago at the Amer
ican Church Mission here. A
Chinese came to the mission and
related that he, his wife and child
en route from Hankow to their
home in Nanking, were stranded at
Tompkins Motor Co.

They had been there, he said,
about two weeks and he was en

innkeeper six dollars and his only
recourse was to sell hia. little son.
He begged the mission people to

Investigation appeared to .show

were entirely destitute. The mis
