DODGE BROTHERS MOTOR EAR

Goodness is alone responsible for the unusual demand

that has existed right from the beginning.

Nothing has ever disturbed the demand for this Car. No outside conditions,

}

no conditions inside the industry seem to slow it up a particle. The "people want the Car more intensely at this moment than ever they wanted it before. The Car has reached the stage when its sales are almost automatically increased. By this we mean that one sale is almost certain to result in one or two other sales.

There is a very pronounced and definite public opinion now in this country concerning the Dodge Bros. Car.·

People seem to know that Dodge Brothers' idea, from the very first, was that

if they built the Car right, nothing else mattered. It is the quality revealed in its performance which makes the price impressive: People are attracted by something more than price: it is the internal and external excellence which characterises the Car.

The high price it demands when sold second-hand increases the respect in which, the Car is held.

It would be hard to find a truer test of enduring worth. People are not eager for used Cars unless they know that such Cars have before them a long life of satisfactory service.

And so the Dodge Brothers Car is bought, not upon price, but upon the quality and value that it embodies;

A large gathering, said the movement was in keeping with the awakening national interest in, and national concern for, the child-life of the country. It desired to bring about an alteration in the law respecting the illegitimate child no-light Sundertaking; and, in the second place it aimed at establishing homes, with day nurseries, a costly though desirable enter prise. One of the difficulties the council had to face was that it had to work against a reluctance of well-disposed people to identify themselves with this particular phase of social service, and another was that, combined with the pro secution of a practical scheme, there was required considerable windoni and tact to be exercised by all who had to deal with the objects of this philanthropy, There could be no criticism levelled against, the council that it would condone. wrongdoing, or make entgy the way of the transgresor and, without exception, they were pledged by their records, and their principles to carry on a work of prevention as well as of cure of the evil. which gave rise to the problem before them. It was the business of the council to advocate that the blame and respons sibility for the illegitimate child should be placed in the right proportions upon the proper shoulder. That was a funda- mental justice which needed to be estab- lished. A regarded the council', scheme for the housing, and; care' of mothers "and their infants, that was a practical and sensible programme, in which they must have the greater confidence because it was the outcome of a conference of ex- perts in child-welfare who had studied. the whole question with skill and care.

DISHOP OF BIRMINGHAM'S VIEWS. The Bishop of Birmingham said he did nus intend to advocate easy dealing with the chronically immoral There were Tthe feeble-minded, or the weak-minded girls, who, if allowed absolute freedom, would, after using a Poor-law institution for the birth of the child; go out, only to return again and again for the same purpose. How fa legislation should deal with, these cases whether, there should be segregation, whether there should not be a complete taking in hand by the State of such cases, must be threshed out care faily, though the children should certain ly have the most loving and helpful treatment, for they were practically motherless. He was concerned at the moment with the woman who, having perhaps very loving nature, yielded out of affection to a temptation, to a destre, to belong utterly to some man often but not always despicable--and the result was child. May I say bere, continued the bishop, that in these days of readily got preventives it is not always the woman who has a child who is most guilty, In fact, it might be argued that one who gives utterly is less an ofender than one who sins safely because of knowledge acquired. Of course, we know that both the man and the woman should have resisted. Yes. but whose is often the fault that the weak pest of character exists?
