30 to Bismarck Time 0° Tonig DODGE BROS. PRESENT NEW “VICTORY SIX High Speed Car With Low Cen- ter of Gravity—Many En- gineering Innovations After 18 months of development ‘work, Dodge Brothers, Inc., has of- *ficially announced the Victory Six, a passenger car containing a number of mar! innovations. It is long and low in Dies and capable ‘of sustained high speeds. Several models of the new car will be on ‘display tomorrow at the M. B. Gil- man company show rooms here. Plans for 1928 at Dodge Brothers include the continuance of the Standard Four, sineres with 4- wheel hrakes, and the Senior. Six, in addition to the Victory Six. The Graham Brothers truck division, which has just Sos eine ed a ee year in its history, wil continue to build commercial cars atd trucks of five capacities; 2-ton, 1%-ton, 1-ton, %-ton and %-ton. Survives Many Tests Grilling tests during which more than 1,000,000 miles were rolled up by engineers in both experimental and actual-production models pre- ceded the formal announcement of the Victory. Some of the test cars, on durability runs, were kept going on the highways till their speedom- eters. showed over 100,000 mile: speed perfurmances on the ¥ndian- apolis track demonstrated that the car was capable of maintaining nearly 70 miles an hour as an aver- age in thousand-mile grinds. For months preliminary to the formal) announcement, Victory Six models have been subjected to all sorts and conditions of roadwork in all parts of the United States; their drivers taking them 14,000 feet up moun- tains and far below sca level on western deserts. Officials of the Dodge company state that the car embodies sev- eral basic innovations in automotive construction and design. To provide road-holding qualities necessary for ; high speeds and at the same time to Permit the low sweeping body lines dictated by fashion without sacrific- ing roominess or road clearance, Dodge Brothers is employing a de- sign entirely new to the industry. te ven “gt ae chassis ere in ry » are a single unit. Noise Sources Eliminated Because conventional sills and cross-members are done away with, the center of gravity is closer to the toad and the over-all height of the car is about at the ordinary man’s hatbrim. The low center of gravity ‘and union of chassis and body are said to have a marked stabilizing ef- fect, reducing side sway and adding tly to ridirg comfort. The me of the Victory Six chassis is s0 deep that no splash shields are oy. thus eliminating a source noise. Further structural distinctiveness has been obtained by a novel type of body design, which might be scribed s+ ~ steel shell welded in- side av outer steel sheel to form a double wall with an air space be- tween.

The engine developed exclusivel: for the Victory Six is an L-head, medium duty type, with bore 3-3/8 inches and stroke of 3-7/8 inches. Pistons are aluminum alloy. Seven bearings support the crarkshaft, which turns approximately 1,285 p.m. at 25 miles an hour. and about 3,350 r. p.m. at 65 miles an hour. Because of rigid support and careful balancing of the52 pound crankshaft, no counterweights or other vibration dampeners are used. shift po- sitions are S, A.

New truck registrations for the same period, however, showed quite an increase over those for Decem- ber, 1926, the totals being 49 for the last month as compared with 15 for jaside an alleged fraudulent transfer Partial reversal of the Steele|ter date. county district court in the case of the Security National Bank of Fargo iets vs. M.

Mrs, Hooge sued for $5,000 be- cause of injuries received by her husband which resulted in his death, She claimed that he fell because of a defect in a sidewalk at Milnor and that his death was the result of the city’s negligence. The case was dismissed in the lower court upon the city’s contention that Mrs. Hooge had failed to give proper legal notice of the death of her husband and of her intention to sue. The court held that Mrs. Hooge had 30 days in which to present her claim and that she had substantially complied with the statute.

Failure to record a deed to real estate does not prevent the person holding the deed from asserting her title as against creditors of the per- jeon from whom it was bought, the supreme court has held in the case of Nellie Earnest vs. the First Na- tional Bank of Crosby.

New truck registrations in 1927 totaled 2,936 as compared with 2,097 in 1926. Ward county led the list in new enger car registrations during mber, 1927, with 12, while Mercer county was second with 11.

D. eAnnouncing» The VICTORY SIX - BY DODGE BROTHERS From an engineering standpoint The Victory is radically new, radically differ- ent and thoroughly original—is literally years ahead of its time in many vital features, In a very real sense, too, it compares with no other car or class, because NO car, either here or abroad, provides features that are comparable. To enjoy these ad- vantages you must buy THIS car, for else- . » ‘where they simply do not exist. : Revolutionary New Principles 1. For the first time since the invention of the automobile, the chassis and body ‘of The Victory are a single integral unit =the wide, deep Victory chassis frame, flush with the lines of the body, replaces the customary body sills. (Heretofore, the body was mounted on a sill and both in turn mounted on the chassis.) 2.° For the first time in history, battler ship construction (i. ¢., double steel walls) is hete applied to the motor car.
