They Are Game and Clean

Do you know that many of milady's fur robes come from pelts of animals trapped In Cape **ay County* Muskrat trapplni; is one of the most unusual Industries In the eounty and prob-

ably the least koown.

During the trapping season, which dosed last month. 25.000 muskrats were '.rapped In the county. The unusual vocation of trapping muskrats forms a lucrative occupation for a number of persons, chiefly fishermen, who sptnd from April to November on the fishing ponds and from November IS to March

trapping the. animals.

The muskrat Is noted for two distinctive feature.. Its cleanliness and Its gameness. It is the superior of the rodent family. It Uvea along the fresh water creeks and ponds that empty Into the Delaware Bay The Ludlam

Are Very Playful Muskrats are very playful, particularly the kits, as the young are called. They will frolic In the wa'er on the hank much In the manner of kittens. Frequently it Is possible to watch the animals at play providing the onlooker does not att*mpt to come too close. Muskrats breed very rapidly. The female has three litters a year, averaging 21 kits annually. The young are hardy. The p.-lt of a muskrat one year old will bring from fl.CO to $1.75. The pelts of the kits which often wander Into the traps vary from 25 cents to 50 cents. When the animal is trapped, the pelt Is removed and placed on a board to stretch and dry •or about three days. Many of the pelts are shipped to St. Louis, which la recognized as the fur metropolis of the world. Other peltt. are purchased by furriers In New York. Philadelphia and Delaware. The carcass of the animal brings Irani 10 to IS cents earh. Muskrat meat Is in great demand by the colored race. The toppers also consume this meat. Its name probably has prevented It from ever becoming a popular viand though persons who have tasted muskrat claim that it Is readily palatable. Numerous third-class restaurants In New York serve It disguised under French and Italian

ures on a previous occasion. The animals will survive the ordeal of chewing off Its leg provided It hasn't been Injured otherwise

by the trap.

Still Another Record First came January — greatest in Dodge

Brothers history!

Then February—another record month! And now, at the hour this is written, report from all parts of America clearly indicate that March not only surpassed every previous March but piled up the greatest record of sales EVER achieved by Dodge Brothers great organization. An overwhelming expression of public confidence in Dodge Brothers and in the goodness and value of the car they build! Experience has taught more than 1,600,000 motorists that Dodge Brothers product stands alone and unparalleled in solid dollar-for-dollar worth. Thirty thousand new owners a month are finding everything they value most highly

in a motor car:

Long T -ife—Dependability—Exceptional Riding Comfort—Good Looks, and Smooth-

ness of Operation.

And they also find SAFETY in the all steel body construction, double-strength steering unit, and a chassis made brutestaunch with more pounds of drop forgings and chrome vanadium steel than in any other car in the world, regardless of orice.

I want them to know they they cannot adopt the high-handed method* of the stern parents of older genera-

Dddbe- Brdthe-rb MOTOR CARS

^/lll that a Fine Car should be -

r 1 ! every part of the world motorists of wealth and taste have pronounced the Packard Ei&ht to be all they could ask in a fine motor car. This international reputation is well deserved. For the Packard Ei&ht provides a more nicely balanced combination of all those ' qualities universally desired than even the most experienced liave learned to expect in any car at any price. Its beauty, fcrace and distinction have been acclaimed supreme time after time in European beauty contes’s, and acknowledged and frankly imitated here at home. Yet the slim grace of Packard lines has not impaired the car's luxurious roominess. Packard Eight performance has yet to be surpassed by any car, American or foreign. Yet the simplicity of its superbly smooth and powerful eight-in-line motor results in surprisingly economical operation and in long life.

Speed is available to the fullest of man's desires. Yet in its fourwheel brakes lies the insurance of safety—the ability to bring the great car qu ; ckly to a sr-.ooth and even standstill with the easy pressure of a woman's foot Even the bother and inconvenience connected with the care of most cars is eliminated for the Packard Eight owner. For example, the chassis can be lubricated in an instant from the driver's seat. And with the advanced engineering, the modern design and workmanship, the last word up-to-dateness in style and trim, comes also an indefinable satisfaction in the ownership of a car which has been distinguished by the patronage of social eminence for more than a generation. Only by driving a Packard Eight can one appreciate what a wonderful, almost living thing it seems. Only then does one realize that Packard Eight owners are not immoderate in their superlatives.
