TRUE ECONOMY is more than price deep Owners of the Dodge Six and Eight are gratified that the features which contribute most notably to the pleasure of owning these cars are also responsible for their economy, dependability and long life. The carefully-perfected balance of the engines means less vibration. The floating comfort on the road means that the engine and chassis, as well as the passengers, are virtually free from shock and strain. The strength and permanent silence of the Mono-Piece Steel Bodies reflect freedom from upkeep expense as well as greater safety. The internal weatherproof hydraulio brakes, which give such reassuringly positive stops, are self-equalizing—require no costly adjusting —reduce wear on tires. Now more than ever before, Dodge curs combine all of the factors you want most in a motor car..

LID AY, AUGUST 8, 1930 THE BREWSTER STANDARD PAGE NINE S. WILL NEED 978,000 KEW HOMES DURING 1930 [Leaders Predict Building Activity, Curbed by Bull Market, Will Restore Prosperity. N«r York.—The present yenr will I Bee n deinnnd for lionie building throughout the United States which riU piny n lending pnrt In bringing the nation bnek to n high nnd stable level of prosperity* in the opinion of a groun of outstanding Industrial leaders ami economists whose statements appenr^ln the Hovlew of Reviews. One manufacturer, Clarence M. Wool ley, president of the American Radiator and Standard Sanitary corporation, estimates that there will be demnnd for 070,000 new homes during the year. Nicholas Roberts, president of S. W. Straus and company, Investment bankers, predicts that "including all types of building nnd construction we would not be surprised If 10.10 ends up ahead of 1020 In total building values." Banking conditions favor the builder, both the individual who plans a home and the professional builder, at this time as they have never done before of recent years, Merryle S. Itukefser, the economics writer, points out in the article presenting the business opinions. | The tremendous flow of money into nitock market speculation during 1028 and 1020 was a serious deterrent to building since It both raised interest rates to abnormally high levels and engaged much money that otherwise would have gone Into building, he shows. The subsequent easing of Interest rales which has followed tin market depression has removed per* haps the most formidable barrier to building activities. On the Pacific coast, George I. Cochran, president of the Pacific Mutual ,'Llfe Insurance company, says: "I link there is a reasonable basis for in Increase In the building Industry i during the year. It ought to reach t'normal." Victor A. Lersner, president of the lowcry Savings bank, New York, one fof tiie heaviest lenders of funds for .borne building, believes: "It would ap- Ipear that building will huve some ad- [vance within the reasonably near future, due to the belief thut In most [sections of the metropolitan area de- [piand nnd supply huve very closely rossed each other." Mr. Roberts, head of a company rhose mortgage activities ure nation- [wide, contributes this analysis to the fevlew of Reviews symposium: 'We feel there is a sound economic [basis for a revival in construction this rear. Chief among the reasons for this [Is the fact that building operations [have been on the decline since the peak year of 1025, and surpluses which • had been created for certain types of structures in certain localities are •teadily being absorbed. With the i added stimulus of cheap money which | should enable at least the major part ef the public works and public utility program reported to President Hoover to be carried through, und with uulerlying conditions In business remainig fundamentally healthy, we believe the outlook Is favorable. We would not he surprised If 1030 ends up ahead tsf 1020." Roof Important Part of the Exterior of House Into the past have slipped the days when the roof was regarded us a mere covering over four wulls. Today the roof Is considered as an important part of the exterior of a house and should huve the sume architectural treatment as the rest of the home. Fireproof roofs will give you a feelig of security and safety which can- "not be represented In dollars und cents, and of course, there will be a saving on fire premiums. The matter of fireproofness Is one which most of us regard us of vital Importance. The loss in the Uuited States from fires cuused by spurks on roofs averages over $12,000,000 a year. Economy and permanence are closely related and of vital Importance in uiuking your selection of a roof. Hear In niiii-i thut economy is not always measured by the first cost. Neces- _sary expenditures for repulrs, upkeep id replaeemeut must be considered, the true economy of uuy roofing material Is to be ileiennined.

Y. Special Noon Day LUNCHES Brewster Bakery PIES CAKES BREAD ROLLS Beads Are Used To Mark Babies While practically the entire country has been watching with much interest the efforts to straighten out the tangle that has resulted from the supposed mixing of new' born infants in the I Englewood hospital in Chicago, the I Danbury Hospital is going ahead with its daily routine in regard to new infant arrivals in that institution, confident {that there can be no duplication of the Chicago ocmurrence there. During last year 340 babies, or almost one fo reach day in the year, were born in the Danbury Hospital and officials of that institution say that the precautions taken against mistakes in identity are such that there has been no thought of confusion in that respect. Miss Anna M. Griffin, superintendent of the Danbury Hospital, said, in response to an lnquuy in regard to the method of marking and identifying new born babies, that the bead system, whereby each baby carries its own family name, almost from the moment of its birth is used. Immediately after its birth a string of blue and white beads is placed about the baby's neck and fastened by means of a seal which canno become unfasened unll it is removed after the child leaves the hospital. The family name, as "Smith" or "Jones" is spelled out by means of alphabetical beads, each inscribed with one letter. These beads are white and the letters spelling the name are inscribed upon the beads in black. The blue beads form the remainder of the string. If the mother is conscious and able to understand what is being done, her baby is thus marked in her presence. A charge of $1.50, which is the actual cost of the beads, is made for this service. "We have used this sysetem for years and we feel that we could not make such a mistake as that reported from Chicago," said Miss Griffin. The metal If the Democrats could only run as well in November as they do in August they might get some place. seal closes the string of beads tightly and the beads are not removed under any circumstances, as long a« the child remains in the hospital.

HANover 8672 THE VALVE OF * . $ ••* • $ di- < YA V SOUND DESIGN New Ford engine gives outstanding aeceteration9 speed and power without sacrificing reliabilitg or economy TlIE good performance of the Ford car, so apparent on every highway, is due largely to the sound mechanical design of the engine. It has outstanding acceleration, speed and power, yet that is only part of its value to you. Greater still is the fact that it brings you all these features without sacrificing either reliability or economy. That is the reason the Ford car has given such satisfactory service to mil lions of motorists all over the world and has been chosen by so many large companies that keep accurate cost fig ures. In every detail of construction it has been carefully planned and made for the work it has to do. The design of the compression cham ber is an important factor in the effi ciency of the Ford engine. It is built to allow free passage of gases through the valves and to thoroughly mix the fuel by producing turbulence within the cylinders during compression. The spark thus flashes quickly through the whole fuel charge, resulting in quieter and more effective engine performance. Other factors are the direct gravity gasoline feed, the specially designed carburetor, the new hot-spot manifold, aluminum pistons, chrome silicon alloy valves of larger diameter, statically and dynamically balanced crankshaft and flywheel, the simplicity of the electrical, cooling, lubrication, and fuel systems and accuracy in manufacturing.
