Though statistics include every expense incurred by the cars from July 1, 1915, to December 1, 1915, gaso- line, oil, repair cost, tire expense, ete., and show that Mr. Dunn’s car was- operated at the low cost of exactly two cents a mile. The five Dodge Brothers cars used in the department also are given several records which place, them at. the top of the low main- tenance re¢ords. Not one of the 37 used in the department was run for the six months at a low- er cost per mile than any one of the Dodge Brothers cars, They also showed the highest mileage the lowest expense on tires and the greatest mileage per gallon of gasoline of any touring car in the department. : Three of the Dodge cars were operated for the six months with- out any expense on tires. On the other two cars of this make the only tire expense was for the re- placement of spare tires which were stolen from™the machine., The report shows many inter- esting comparisons of the main- tenance cost of automobiles which range in cost for two cents a mile for the Dodge Brothers car to 27 cents a mile for one of the heavy duty trycks. ~ “Such figures are interesting to motor ‘car owners and to pros- pective buyers of motor cars.’’ said Thomas J. Doyle, local dis- tributor for Dodge Brothers cars. ‘In these days ofthe high cost of gasoline every one is looking for a car that can be operated economically but it is seldom you jean find any owner who can tell you the exact cost per mile for the operation of his car. Such Dodge Brothers owners who have recorded the expenses for their cars have found them ex- ceedingly low and that they were getting unusually high mileage on a gallon of gasoline.’’—Detroit Free Press. g - Farmers Organize.

San Antonio, Tex., April 16.— It was a force of Carranza’s sol- diers who engagey the little de- tachment of American cavalry at Parral Wednesday in a regularly organized action, according to a detailed report written by Maj. Frank Tompkins and forwarded today to Gen. Funston by Cen. Pershing. Forty of the Mexican soldiers, including one Major, and one civilian, were killed by the re- treating Americans. The Ameri- ean causalties were two killed and six wounnded, including Maj. Tompkins.. His wound — was slight. ‘ , Maj. Tompkin’s account of the action was received at Gen. Fun- ston’s headquarters tonight and served to clarify Gen. Pershing’s report received yesterday, in whieh the identity of the attack- ing force was unstated. The Americans now are north and west of Parral, re-enforced by a squadron of the Tenth un- der Maj. Young, accompanied by Col. W. C. Brown and a pick- ed squadron under Maj. Robt. L. Howze. Fear for their safety has been dispelled by this report and by troop dispositions that Gen. ordered, ‘but the character of which Gen. Funston did not wish to reveal. San Antonio, Tex., April 17.— Private Eichenberger sent into Parral ahead of the American celumn to announce the coming of Maj. Tompkin’s command, never returned and is believed to have been killed, General Persh- ing stated this afternoon in a supplementary report on the Par- ral affray. Pershing’s report bore out previous indications of treachery. Gen.
