They are light humor- us tales written with the ease that this xpert craftsman has so completely at is command, stories, to tuck into your ag when you set out on a long railway ourney where much concentration is im- ossible and entertainment a necessity. There are many droll, Penrod-ish ales in the volume, revealing an amused ympathy with child, psychology. "Tile iger" and "The Party" are the funniest the collection devoted to the doings of oungsters. Contradictorily enough "The Tiger" is the story of a blind pig, while The Party" is just what it sounds like. 'he same three characters figure in each tory; the hero, Master Lawrence Coy; n old fashioned heroine of eight and a lodern girl villainess of nine. Lawrence is a lesser Penrod, while )aisy Mears, the little girl villainess, is feminine Penrod. She is the likeable stigator of all the plots, from the tor- nenting of Lawrence to the exploration f the blind pig. Among the stories of the grown-ups, « title story is the most deft. It is a erry chronicle of the droll doings of an pert hobo. If you want amusement ithout effort or cerebration here's the k for you. THE LAKE SHORE NEWS. FRIDAY. Auolfe „«„« Three Books of Interest "THE HISTORICAL RHINE POLICY" UTT4W1,„,„ By Herman Oncken "UNEMPLOYMENT AND OUR REVENUE PROBLEM" itr„nvr„mnrA John Sturgis Codman "INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY" By Glenn E. Plumb Professor Oncken's pamphlet is purely controversial and anti-French and will be pleasing to all pro-Germans. The alkali to neutralize its acid is to be found in any work on the same subject written by a Frenchman. ; |f '%$;§' â-  w Mr. Codman asks ana answers the question: Is unemployment a natural or an artificial condition in modern civiliza- tion? He insists that it is "an absurd artificial phenomenon" and can therefore be done away with. In an entertaining chapter on "Robinson Crusoe up-to-date" he illustrates how this can be done. The value of this little book is altogether out of proportion to its size. Mr. Plumb in his book of over 350 pages gives a complete plan for the democratization of industrial civilization as it exists in the United States. It is an elaboration of the idea that basic indus- tries must be organized on the principal of service rather than profit. He treats each industry in a separate chapter. He aims to free the ship of state from the Scylla of autocratic and selfish capitalism without impaling it on the Carybdis of Socialism. It is an earnest, intelligent and moderate plan which deserves the James Walter Doughty. Copyright 1923, Howard H. Seward most careful study.' NEW DODGE CARS NOW ON DISPLAY Marked Improvements in Ap- pearance Seen nounced than the improvement in general design. The reduction in body height lowers the center of gravity and thereby reduces sides way, while rebound shocks' ar eeffectively dissipated by the improved front and rear springs. The car holds the road easily and gracefully and affords real riding comfort. Another distinctive hew feature is the louvers or ventilator slits in the sides of the hood panels. This change increases the flow of air through the radiator and reduces the flow of hot air to the floor boards, making summer driving most comfortable. The rear seat and all upholstery of the touring car are removable/ affording a large space for loading luggage or other articles. Seats- in all types are deeper and lower, adding to comfort and leg room. The instrument board is greatly im- proved in appearance, with instruments grouped on a raised panel and with longer lighting switch lever, facilitating control of tihe lights while driving. Head lamps are specially designed to harmonize with the new body lines. A combination caution signal and tail lamp is mounted rigidly on the license plate bracket and conforms with the require-* ments of all states having lighting reg- ulations. 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 moved forward, giving more leg room and making it easier to get in and out. A Yale lock is built into the transmission, making it posible to double-lock the car when idle. The steering wheel isinaterjallyjnfcL proved^ in appearance anTlilldectrical connections are inside the steering column. The front springs are increased in length and from 1 % to 2 inches in width and built of morje 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 unusually strong. The camber, or in-tilt of the front wheels is increased, making steer- ing 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, ana all interior hardware is of distinctive Dodge Brothers design. The business coupe and business sedan are finished in attractive Spanish blue leather. _ The fiscal year ending^ July 1 was the most successful in the history of Dodge Brother*; their dealers having marketed approximately 200,000 cars. With the improvements now put into effect, obvi- ously making the car better and more at- tractive in every way, though still retain- ing the essential attributes to which the car owes its great popularity, it seems quite evident- that this company has not yet reached the maximum of its poten- tialities, despite the tremendous record of the year just closed.

Hun- dreds of dealers including C. M. Mc- Donald, of Evanston, are now supplied with display cars of the new type, and from every source the factory is receiv- ing 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 tnat surpasses all previous efforts of mis concern, to build a moder- ately priced car oi commendable appear- ance as weil as quality. ^ " The wheelbase - is a trifle longer, the body i« lower and v the rear springs changed to semi-eiiiptfcal type are under- slung, ana increased from 45 to 55 inches in length. All of 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 % ton capacity. All- steel bodiesâ€"as first introduced by Dodge Brofners in their open passenger cars several years agoâ€"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.

'm^&i&ii*, ^^:^;i^^^^l0^ Dodge Brothers have not simply brought out a com- plete new line of motor cars. They have done something infinitely wiser and better than that. They have brought new beauty, new riding ease and new mechanical perfection to the product on which their reputation as builders has been founded. They have built a better and a more desirable line of motor carsâ€"yet basically and fundamentally the iden- tity of their product remains the same. Thensame sturdy engine is under the hood; the same dependable chassis, im- proved in numberless de- tails, underlies the body. But the rear springsâ€"now underslungâ€"have been ma- terially lengthened. The wheelbase, too, is longer, and the combined result is a notable improvement in riding qualities. ~ ~~ Bodiesof all types have been designed to give improved appearance, and greater comfort. Lower, longer, with deeper seats and more leg room, the lines of these new cars are low-swung and gracefulâ€"the interiors are comfortable and roomy. New head lamps and fen- ders, especially designed by Dodge Brothers to conform with the general lines of the carâ€"a long straight hood and cowl effect-â€"longer and wider running boards*â€"un- usually wide doorsâ€"com- bination stop signal and tail lampâ€"and instruments at- tractively grouped on raised panelâ€"are a few of the numerous body innovations common to all types.
