FLORISTS LIKE TRUCKS. The motor truck has tecome a great value und assistance to the concerns that make up the New York eity flower market. This direct means of transportation from the nurseries to the city markes afforded by the truck saves much valuable time.

Peterson, engineer on the Fort ‘Wayne division of the Pennsylvania railroad and of train No. 852, relates the following inciden ‘While pulling into Gary he saw an automobile dash across the tracks just in front of train No. 25, a fast passenger train from the east, which does not stop at Gary. This was a close call, but Peterson's train, which was coming from the vrest, and which the driver of the automobile did not notice until he was on the track in front of No. 25, also almost struck the car. By speeding up the automobile the driver crossed the tracks just ahead of No. 852, and just in time to avold an accident. After getting across he stopped his automobile and walked up to Peter- son’s engine, which had stopped at the station, and asked Peterson. to step down from his cab. “I just wanted to tell you.” he sald, “what a d fool I am.” Peterson asked him if he had not seen the posters, “Cross crossings cautlously,” which had been put up in the “Careful crossing campaign.” “Oh, yes, 1 have seen them. all right; that {s the reason I am such a d— fool.” BEDUCES MOTOR ACCIDENTS. Motor vehicle accident injuries have been reduced in Massachusetts from 21,086 in 1920 to 11.487 in 1921, a de- cline of 45 per cent. The total of accidents and fatalities will be still further lowered in 1922 if the rate for the first five months is main- tained. The revocation of 4899 licenses during 1921 has had a stimu- lating effect on careful driving. A Business Coure OF STEEL The price is $980 f. o. b.

Dodge Brothers offer to the business public of America an entirely nsw principle in Coupe body construction. From framework to window mouldings the body is built of stesl. It is the first all-steel closed car ever marketed. ‘This design anticipates every possible requirement of commaercial travel. It insures unusual quietness— unusual grece—unususl stamina. It has made it possible to give the Coupe that same lustrous baked-on enamel finish for which Dodge Brothers open cars have long been famous. ‘The upholstery is of genuine leather —leather that will wash and wear. The seat is wide and comfortable, Carrying compartments are accessible and spacious. The car is equipped with a heater, dome light, window levers, windshield cleaner, cord tires, Yale door locks, and every other appointment necessary to the owner’s comfort and protection. Built inside and out to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use, it retaing the same lightness and beauty of line which you are accustomed to look for in Dodge Brothers cars. | It is the Business Coupe which business people the world over have been expecting—from Dodge Brothers.
