WILMETTE LIFE . OctOber 19, 1928 .. Late1t Dodge Car Provides an All· Year Sport Model Custom finished bodies with specially matched uoholstery feature the special series Victory Six ·four passenger coupes which have just been announced by Dodge Brothers, according to C. Miles McDonald, Evanston and Wilmette dealer. This new type with its attractive color combinations offers an all year sport model. "In body design, the models afford roominess to comfortably seat four passengers, and provide an inside com· partment for luggage or parcels," says Mr. McDonald. "Interior finish is designed to harmonize ..with the exterior colors. The first" color combination shipped was blaCk . ·and opal cream, the hood and co:wl of the car along with the moldings and upper structure being of a sparkling black. The belt panels and body are finished in opal cream-a rich shade at present popular on sport models of the highest priced cars. · Other attractive colors available, include brown and blue lacquers and the black and red combination. "¥echanically, the car is powered with the Victory Six engine that holds the owner-driven record of 76 hours and 13 minutes from Los Angeles to New York. Acceleration and flexibility in traffic match its smooth operation at sustained speed, and insure proper, roadability under all conditions. The two-walled Victory Six body, bolted directly to the chassis, replaces body sills and dust aprons, and materially lowers the center of gravity without sacrificing headroom. This simplified and rugged construction feature reduces weight, eliminates bGdy overhang and prevents annoying squeaks and rattles. HERE'S REASON FOR U. $. CHANGING lONEY SIZE Grimy Handa at 00 FiDiaa · statioaa Caaae Qaiek Deterioration of Carrenq Announcement that the new "thumbna"il" size ·currency of the United States Treasury will make its initial debut within the next three month~ has been made by Assistant-Secretary · of the Treasury, Henry Henick Bond. Why the familiar sized bills are heing reduced approximately one-fourth in size is an interesting story that probably not one ~n .a thousa~d m.otorists know-but tt ts due pnmanly to the motorist that the old 5ized currency is to be taken cut of circulation and the smaller bill installed. Following the advent of the au~o mobile it was found that bills of small ·denomination came hack to the redemption bureau of the Treasury De partment more often for reissuance. A study, m_ade by the gover!lment, r.evealed that the grime and ml from tne filling 5tation attendant's hands does more than any other thing to soil notes, causi!lg them to deteriorate faster than formerly. The freopency with which a dollar bill comes ·back to a filling station has just · been determined as the result of an interesti'ng experiment made by the American Motori5ts' Association in co-operation with The Automobile Club of Illinois. It was· found that approximately every seventh time that a bill changes hands it finds its way back to the oil station, where it becomes mor~ . begrimed by oil and smears. The experiment was made by circulating 50 one dollar bills, with a request attached that each spenger endorse on the slip what he spent it for, and that the person holding the bill after the tenth endorsement should return it to the American Motori.sts' Association's headquarters at Washington. The fifty bills were circulated in ten cities with the result that out of 36 bills returned, containing 371 endorsements, 53 of the endorsements indicaterl that the bill had been spent by a motori.;t for gas or oil.
