The Morris car's a washout-a washout through and through! And in case you don't believe me,
I'll explain it all to you!
It has running boards that do

pliers that don't, ply!
Thore's nuts that have no kernuis, washers that don't wash, Crankshafts that aron't cranky

ANOTHER EXPEDITION.
Scientists from the American Museum of Natural History will this summer make a fourth in-{ vasion of the Gobi Desert in Central Asia "which will be more specta- cular and, also more difficult than any we have had," writes Dr. Roy. Chapman Andrews, leader of the expedition, in a letter to Frederick J. Haynes, president of Dodge Brothers, Inc. While Dr. Andrews and his party made numerous finds; great scientific value, the incident that attracted most atten- ton was their discovery of a nest of dinosaur eggs ten million years old.

Dr. Andrewa interesting con ment in regard to the coming ex-. pedition was made is a letter! ordering four additional Dodge Brothers cars, making nine in all which will be taken into the desert on the next trip. Commenting on this phase of the work, Dr Andrews' suid:
Through the use of motor ears,, the first that ever went into that region, we were able to accom- plish in five months, what would| have required ten years had, we relied on camels which, until our cxperiment, with automobiles, were the only means of transportation in that part of the world. We rsed Dodge Brothers ears exclu- sively because we tried them out and found they were the only auto- mobiles that would stand up under the strain put, upon them.
"We subjected the cars to severe punishment, and they did every- thing we asked of them. I want to put in an order for four more. These will be for our this year's] work, giving us a fleet of nine Dodge Brothers chrs. I should Appreciate it if you would ship these cars at once as they must bol in Peking by April 15 for a trip which will be inore spectacular aud also more difficult than any we have had."

ESSEX COACH
The largest sales of 6-cylinder cars simply reflects the general recognition of greatest cur velne. But it is important to note how, this position of leadership gives Essex advantages in continually improving value to the buyer because of volume economy, in purchase of materials, manufact uring savings, and low cost of distribution.
Built on the Super-Six principle, the patents which account for Hudson's famous reliability, bril- lant performance and long life, are responsible for the same qua-
lities in Essex. It is the casiost riding and steering Essex ever built the finest in performanto appearance and workmanship. Wa bolove it is the most ocon- omical in the world to own and operate. Its beonomy consists not only in low first cost and operation expense, but more im- portant, in free lan, from repairs expense, the low cost of repaic, parts when necessary, and long cur life.
Now it holds the greatest price advantage with the finest quality Essex over offered.
