•FREEDOM OF SPEECH"
Fre |uently is heard the assertion
that "this is a free country.' It is
the retort that springs to the lips
of any individual, or group of indi-
viduals, when he or it is reproached
or called to account for action that is
objectionable or detrimental to otheis.
Some there are, doubtless, who actu

A quiet campaign is being waged by
each individual by reducing living ex-

reasons for that reversal of policy are
the depreciation of money, excessive

BUSINESS 5EDAN
With this-car, Dodge Brothers have literally created
a new type of sedan.
They have combined open car ruggedness with closed
car protection and smartness.
They have demonstrated, once for all, that a sedan
can be as practical and almost as inexpensive as an
open touring car.
The body is built of hand-welded steel because steel
is sturdy, and will take a permanent, oven-baked
finish, eliminating forever the cost of repainting.
The seats are upholstered in attractive, genuine
Spanish blue leather, because leather will wash and
wear.
To further enlarge the car's usefulness, the rear seat,
back and side cushions, seat frame and foot rest are
quickly removable, giving sixty-four cubic feet of
flat loading space in the rear compartment. The
manifold uses made possible by this unique feature
are readily imagined.
The top and rear quarters are of non-rumble, fabric
construction, conforming with the present attractive
vogue. From cord tires to curtain cords, the fittings,
inside and out, are distinctive and complete.
In fact, every detail of the car emphasizes its strik-
ing adaptability to business as well as social use.
The price is $1,350 delivered
