A Business Coupe Op Steel
Dodne Brothers offer to the business public of America
an entirely new principle in Coupe body construction.
From framework to window mouldings the body is built
of steel. It is the first all-steel closed car ever marketed.
This design anticipates every possible requirement of
commercial travel. It insures unusual quietness
unusual grace—unusual stamina. It has made it possible
to give the Coupe that same lustrous baked-on enamel
finish for which Dodge Brothers open cars have long
beer, famous.
The upholstery is of genuine leather leather that will
wash and wear. The seat is wide and comfortable.
Carrying compartments are accessible and spacious. The
car is equipped with a heater, dome light, wrindow levers,
windshield cleaner, cord tires. Yale door locks, and every
other appointment necessary to the owner's comfort
and protection.
Built inside and out to withstand the wear and tear of
•vervday use. it retains the same lightness and beauty of
line which you are accustomed to look for in Dodge
Brothers cars.
It is the Business Coupe which business people the
world over have been expecting—from Dodge Brother*,

TAME WILD ANIMALS ‘
BECOME A NUISANCE
One Case of a Washington
Farmer Thrown Out of Court
Under Game Laws.
Curlounly, wild uiiinuils of luuny
kinds iu certain parts of tins state
have become so extremely tatue as to
be u general nuisance.
Some elk Introduced into the Sultan
| basin front Yellowstone park a lew
: years ago have multiplied, hut disdain
to lead the wild free life of the hills.
They break down fences to get at
hay stacks and trample gardens and
fields of Snohomish farmer*. Over
taken by night, these elk that u few
years ago kept from man's sight lie
down and chew the cud with domestic
cattle or horses. A suit brought by
one farmer for damages was thrown
! out of court.
The various kinds of pheasants freed
in western Washington have refused
to leave the barnyards of many
ranchers and even with the <h>
! tin stic chickens, while the farmer, un- |
; der penalty of breaking the game
laws, must not harm the birds out of
season.
A most remarkable illustration of
animal tameness seen in this state is
that of sea lions on Itride's island be
| low Cape flattery. A habit of the
lightkeeper was to throw all kitchen
waste onto the rocks where the lions
basked. Soon regularly three bulls
I and some young cows kept vigil wait
ing for the scraps. Now the zealous
sea lions have taken possession of the
keeper and ids house, lie is forced to
keep all doors shut, else the lions '
amble into the rooms and tip over
everything in their quest for bacon or
bread.
Near llussum u motherless bear cub
uppeared last spring at a farm house
and remained until full grown in the
fall, growing very gentle and play
ful. In October lie went away. Itgt
has returned this spring with another
and larger female bear, which Is sus
pected of having a pair of cubs in the !
nearby woods. She carries food there
twice each day.
A porcupine comes at lunch time
into a schoolhouse near Wallulu for
crumbs that the youngsters throw to
it. If not satisfied with the handout
the quills bristle and frighten both
kids and schoolmn'am.
Two white-tailed deer come daily

Full Crew Decision.
Baltimore.—
' Divergent opinions as to the ulti
mate results of the decision of the
Public Service Commission delegating
to railroads in the State power to de
termine the size of their train crew*.
I pursuant to the repeal of the Full-
Crew I.a w. w ere expressed by railroad
officials and Henry F. Brnenlng. presi- j
dent of the Federation of Labor.
Officials of the various railroads are
highly gratified, as was expected, by
the action of the Utilities Board, which
gives them full control of their freight
train crews, while the labor head,
representing the organization which
formed the most pronounced opposition
to the repeal of the full-crew measure,
declared that the decision of the Com
mission means a flat repeal of the law.
which was thought to have been only
modified by placing it under the dis
cretion of the Commission.
"We are not much disappointed be
cause of the announcement of the
hands-off policy of the Public Service
Commission.” declared Mr. Broening
“It is about what we expected, The
rider on the Full-Crew Kepeal Bill, giv
ing the Commission control of the
trainmen, was from the first thought
by labor men to be only a weak apol
ogy for the outright repeal of the meas
ure. for we anticipated little consi
deration from the Utilities Board.
"The immediate effect of the decision
will be felt by at least one third of the
trainmen in the State. Instead of th*
six men formerly required on a freight
train, the railroads will now employ
live, and in many cases it is probable
that the number will be cut to three.
In fart, the railroads have already an
nounced their intention to drop one
man from each train. This, however
was to he expected. But we believe it
to he only a matter of time when more
will le dropped.
"So far as the labor men are con
cerned. the tight to retain the full-crew
measure, in effect if not as an actual
statute, is over. We can do nothing
to prevent the railroads from cutting
their crews on a large scale. We fought
- in tin Legislature for the rights and
! the safety of the train-workers and
were defeated.
"It is now up to the Public Service
: Commission and the railroads to pro
tect the trains and the lives of the
workers The Commission has not had
; time to adequately Investigate working
j conditions on trains with the view to
; determining the number of men needed
for safety. The railroads are influ-
I • tired by reasons of economy. So until
a few train accidents demonstrate the
need of a full-crew enforcement we
hatdly expect either the saiiruads or
the Utilities Board to reconsider their
action.”
Maxwell C. Byers, president of the
Western Maryland Hallway, stated that
j the management of that road will
make a thorough study of the freight
situation befor* making any definite
Statement as to what policy would be
adopted under the Commission's de
cision. The investigation will require
a good deal of time, he said and no
action will be taken in the near future.
D. K. Brent, general attorney of the
Baltimore and Ohio, declared that the
effect of the decision would hardly
throw many men out of work. The
railroads will endeavor to provide other
employment for those removed from
theii regular runs, he pointed out.
and the remainder, he said, would be
placed on a reserve list and be placed
on trains as business increased.
