PAGE EIGHT ' NEW-TYPE OF DODGE MAKING HIT ALREADY Latest Model Is Presented To The Public, Containing Many Improvements WHEELBASE LONGER Marked improvement in appear- ance and comfort is apparent in the new line of Dodge Brothers Motor Cars, in the production of which the f has been gathering momen- tum since July 1, Hundreds of deal- ers are now supplied with display curs of the new type, and from every source the factory is receiving reports of enthusiastic approval by the public. While the basic characteristics of the familiar Dodge Brothers cars of recent days are still present, there is an air of distinctiveness that sur- passes all previous efforts of this concern to build a moderately priced car of commendable appearance as well as quality. : The wheelbase is a trifle longer, the body is lower and the rear springs changed to semi-elliptical type are under-slung, and increased from 46 to 55 inches in length. All the features so popular with the public today are embodied in the design of the complete line, which includes a touring car, roadster, coupe, two types of sedan, and screen side and panel side commercial cars of 3-4 ton capacity. AU steel bodies —as first introduced by Dodge Brothers in their open passenger cars several years ago—are now used for all types. The effect of the longer and lower body and longer wheelbase, combined with the new lines and lower seats, is very fine. According to dealers and others who have driven the new cars, the improvement in riding qual- ities. is: no less pronounced than the improvement in general design, The reduction in. body height lowers the center of gravity and thereby reduces sidesway, while rebound shocks are effectively dissipated by the improv- ed front and rear springs. The car holds the road easily and gracefully and affords real riding comfort. Another distinct new feature is the louvers or ventilator slits in thi sides of the hood panels, Thi: change increases the flow of air through the radiator and reduces the flow of hot air to the floor boards, making summer driving most com- fortable. The rear seat and all upholstery of the touring car are removable, af- fording a large space for loading luggage or other aticles, Seats in all types are deeper and lower, adding to comfort and leg room, The instrument board is greatly im> proved in appearance, with instru- ments grouped on a raised panel and with longer lighting switch lever, facilitating control of the lights while driving. Brake pedal pads are larger and of a design which makes for greater ease and safety. The hand brake lever, like the shifting lever, is mov- ed forward, giving more leg room and making it easier to get in and out. A Yale lock is built into the trans- mission, making it possible to double- lock the car when idle, The steering wheel is materially improved in appearance and all elec- trical connections are inside the steering column, The front springs are increased in length and from 1 3-4 to 2 inc in width and built of more leaves of a thinner stock. The rear springs, in addition to being longer, are now semi-elliptic and flat. The front axle is of a design un- usually strong. The camber, or in- tilt of the front wheels, is increased, making steering easier. A new gear ratio of the rear axle gives increased flexibility and adds to the ability of Dodge Brothers cars as hill climbers. In the Type A sedan, the upholstery is the finest grade mohair velvet, and all interior hardware is of dis- tinetive Dodge Brothers design, The business coupe and business sedan are finished in attractive Spanish blue leather.

At the end of June the lead was 9 percent. While the remaining’ months of this year will undoubted- ly show a large construction volume, it is probable that they will run rath- er lower than the corresponding months of last year.

However, last month’s figures was 16 percent over that of July, 1922, Last month’s total, $9,194,000, in- cluded the following items: $3,029,- 000, or 33 percent, for residential buildings; $2,614,000, or 28 percent, for public works and utilities, and $1,552,000, or 17 percent, for hospi- tals and institutions. Se: The increase in amount contracts let during the first seven months of this year over the corresponding per- iod of 1922, is 54 percent, the com: parative totals $85,492,000 and $65,- 433,000. Contemplated new work reported in July amounted to $9,363,000, a drop of 28 percent from the. amount re- ported in June.

CAR FARGO MANIS GOLF: CHAMP Tom Hull Wins Title in Match at Grand Forks Coun- try Club Grand Forks, N. R,, Aug. 11— Tom Hull, golfer from Fargo, ‘won the state amateur championship by defeating G, M. Booker ° of Grand Forks, two up in the final 36 holes of the orth Dakota tournament. here yesterday. Hull was never down during the match, and although Booker was not de- feated until the thirty fourth had been halved, the failure of the Ic.- cal player to take advantage of a momentary lapse on, the part of his opponent during the _ third round, and the fact that luck was with the Fargo player the last round, made the followers. of Booker despair of his chances ear- ly in the afternoon. Jchn Rueter of Dickinson was low in the 86 hole professional metch. He had a score of 164. with 166, while Tom Young of Fargo, was third with 168, Lincoln Howitt, young professional cf the Valley City Club, playing his first had considerable trouble and made 188.
