Good Will Triumphant Under Test At this message la being written, Dodge Brothers' daily, weekly and monthly production is at the highest point in its history. The most causual sort of inquiry will satisfy you that this production is being absorbed as it is delivered. Within sight and sound as we write, a great addition to Dodge Brothers' immense Work* is being rushed to completion. The interesting thing about this situation is, that it is not likely that a half a hundred people have §ver bought Dodge Brothers Motor Car just because they wantod a motor car. Of the more than half a million who have bought it--the overwhelming majority did so because of the name it .bore. It has always been thought of, and is still thought of, first, and foremost, and all the time, only in terms of its goodness, ind the results it gives. All of this is wonderful, in one way, and quite natural and logical in another. It all dates back to the day when Johrf and Horace Dodge conceived and designed and finally built the car--after warning each other, and their associates, not even to think of it in any other terms than the beat obtainable value. \ They began with a few almt>st absurdly simple principles, bluntly expressed and rigidly executed, about decency and honor and integrity--such as most of us wrote in our copy books at school. They reduced these old copy hook maxims « to a splendid and scientific system, pouring. ' more, and more, and still more value into the car* and then marshalling all the resources of modern massed manufacture to get their product into the hands of the people at an honorable and an honest coat. These policies and principles have never been changed, and never will be changed, by so much as a hair's breadth; and they have come to be recognized and accepted as Dodge Brothers' principles wherever motor cars are driven. It has all happened as John and Horape Dodge planned it--quite simply, naturally, and automatically, all over America, and all over the world. People do discriminate, as Dodge Brothers contended they would; people will find oat when a motor car is well built and gives good service and great good value. Dod&e. Brothers' market today is where they planned to locate and establish it--in the mind and the heart of every man and woman who admires good work, well done. It will last, and it will keep on growing, a£ it has kept on growing for five years (faster than Dodge Brothers' works could keep pace with it)\ as long as the number of those who believe that a manufacturer should build to serve and not merely to sell, continues to increase. All is well with Dodge Brothers today, becausfe John and Horace Dodge builded well in the beginning, and because their business wilt continue to build well utilEr the end.

ILLINOIS OBEY SAFETY IMS, EMMERSON ASKS IN #LEI TO IUT0ISTS Secretary of State Begins Campaign to Decrease the Nimh. ber of Automobile Accidents. QUOTES RULES OF ROAD If Individual Driver Follows Simple Provisions Few Fatalfties Will " " Occur, Hs Says.' ' A campaign in the Interest of safety on the highways has been begun by Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson, who, under the law, administers the automobile law% Mr. Emmerson has issued a little pamphlet containing a digest of the safety first laws governing automobile drivers, and calling attention to the necessity for the strict observance of these laws If ,the highways are to be safe. ( "Failure to observe the simple ruler of the road results in the death or Injury of scores of persons in Illinois every year," Mr. Emmerson says in the pamphlet. "These rules have been Incorporated in the automobile and road laws of the state. Their observance is not only advisable for safety on the highways--It Is enjoined by statute and penalties are provided for violation. "Proper administration of the automobile laws is one of the first concerns of the secretary of state. Under authority of the law, he appoints annually several hundred men from various sections of the state to act as voluntsry automobile investigators. These men, who serve without pay, are leading'citizens in their communities, interested in the safety of the highways. Must Obey Lsw. "Much good has come from this source, but if accidents are to be avoided every driver of aft automobile must familiarize himself with the laws of the road and strictly adhere to them. "During the coming two or three months the highways will be used more extensively than at any time during the year. 'Safety First' should be the slogan of every driver and law violation should be reported promptly to the police authorities." Secretary Emmerson points oat that according to the interstate commerce commission there were 2,270 automobile accidents at railroad grade crossings in 1818, with 1.131 fatalities. During 1019 a total of 420 persons were killed in automobile accidents in Chicago. No statistics are available for the rest of the state, but Secretary Emmerson is writing to coroners of the various counties in an effort to compile figures showing the necessity of greater caution. Some Rulss to Remember. Among the provisions of the law to which attention is called In the pamphlet are the following: No automobile must be driven over a railroad grade crossing at a speed exceeding ten miles per hour,*and at all grade crossings where "stop" signs are placed the car must be brought to a full stop before proceeding over the crossing. The speed limit at which an automobile can be driven is ten miles per hour in the business section of cities; 15 miles per hour in the resident sections; 20 miles per hour inside city limits, but outside the business or resident sections; and not to exceed 80 miles per hour on the public highway. Every motor vehicle must be equipped with good brakes and a suitable signaling device. The license of a chauffeur may be revoked on the grounds of drunkenness, and a drunken driver may be fined $200 and sentenced to Jail for 00 days. No person under fifteen years of sge is permitted to drive an automobile on the public highways unless accompanied by the owner of the vehicle or a licensed chauffeur. A vehicle approaching from the tight has the right-of-way. Keep to the right In passing a vehicle coming from the opposite direction. Signal and pass to the left of a vehicle going in the same direction. The driver must signal his Intention of turning or stopping by outstretched arm, or otherwise. An automobile must not be driven within ten feet of a street car loading or discharging passengers except by the express direction of a traffic officer. * The pamphlet contains statistics showing the frequency of accidents, due to failure to observe these rules. Copies will be sent to the astomoblle drivers of the state. The campaign is launched at this time because It is the beginning of the season when there Is the greatest amount of travel on the roads. It Is better to wait 90 seconds for a tra^n to pass over .a grade crossing than to become a subject for an undertaker. Laws have been enacted for the protection of automobile drivers as well as the public, but if the laws are not obc^dr they fail in both pur- ON SMS DUOS Join With Secretary of State Emmerson in Effort to Educate Drivers on U*. , .. •• civ ; 7 ANXIOUS TO SAVE LIVES Uv'.'1* Believe If Care Slewed Dewn er Stopped st Pressings Aocldents Would Be Avoided. . A •4 ' ' # • / In Us campaign for greater safety on the public highways, Secretary of State Louts L. EoitnerMm will have the support of the milroAd companies. The railroad officials are very anxious to aid in preventing accidents at railroad crossings. The Pennsylvania railroad's safety first division wUl co-operate with him, and work along this line has already been undertaken by the Baltimore A Ohio, with the assistance of the secretary's office. Investigators employed by the Pennsylvania railroad win be stationed at certain grade crossings where there is a great deal of traffic The license numbers of automobiles which are driven over these crossings in a reckless manner will be taken down and sent to the automobile department of Secretary Emmeraon's office. Clerks will look up the owners of these cars, and cards stating that their machines were driven over the crossings recklessly will be sent to them. Haa Proved Effective. This plan has been tried out In other ststes, and has proved very effective In causing drivers of can to exercise more care. Under the law in Illinois, a driver roust reduce his speed to not to exceed ten miles per hour upon approaching a rnilroad grade crossing, and he is required to bring his machine to a full stop before proceeding over any crossing at which there is a "stop" sign. The secretary of state has no police powers, and in co-operating with the railroad company he wUl merely notify the drivers who are reported as driving recklessly over the crossings, that they have violated the law and that •uch driving endangers their own ilve» DRAWS LESSON FROM CHICAGO ACCIDENTS Secretary of State Emmerson Points Out Necessity of Obeying Safety First Laws. O* the back of a little pamphlet la* sued by Secretary of State Louis L Emmerson in the interest of safety on the highways is a facsimile of a clipping from a Chicago newspaper telling of the death of ten persons in one day in several automobile accidents. This was used. Secretary Emmerson said, because It Illustrates the need of greater care on the part of automobile drivers. Seven of these persons were killed at railroad grade crossings, Mr. Emmerson pointed eat. "I do not know the facts In any ef these cases," Secretary Emmerson says, "but it is safe to say that if the drivers had strictly adhered to the nias of the road laid down in the automobile and road laws, none of the acaidents would have been likely to )«ff-- The laws provide that no automobile shall cross a railroad at a speed exceeding ten miles per hour, and at all crossings where 'stop' signs are placed the driver must bring his machine to a full stop before proceeding over the crossing. Drivers Tske Chsnoes. "Investigations made by railroads show that not more than 10 per cent of drivers exercise the proper care In crossing railroads. By observation it has been proved that the great majority of drivers do not look eitiier up or down the tracks before crossing, and many others look only In one direction. "Too many drivers take chances when they see a train approaching. A train -running 00 miles an hour, goes 88 feet in one second and cannot be stopped in less than one-fourth of a mile. An automobile running 25 miles an hoar can be stopped in 58 feet. It is obvious that the automobile driver should take no chances. "A few automobile accidents are unavoidable, but the great majority of them need never occur if the simplest care Is exercised." HALF MILLION AUTOMOBILES Nearly S00,000 Cara in 8tate Today, | Emmerson Reports. There were only 38,289 automobiles In Illinois In 1911. Today there Are nearly 000,000. This great Increase makes necessary the greatest care on the part of drivers and pedestrians. Secretary of State Louis L Emmerson says in the little Safety First pamphlet which he has issued. "In 1916," he explains "the year before the present administration took charge, there were 248,429 licensed automobiles In the state. These paid into the state treasury ?1,19S.0R3.10 in fees. In 1919 there were 478,438 licensed automobiles in the state, and Che fees received ameunted to $5,731,- 121.93, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920.
