You can follow any one of three
different ways of Judging motor
car values and prove concluslvelv
that it is better to buy Saxon
Six than a car costing 5000 or
$500 more.
For instance, if you are going to
pick the car YOU buy on the basis
of its quality, consider these
facts:
Saxon Six has a Continental
motor of six cylinders, Timken
axles. Timken bearings, Strom-
berg carburetor, Remv Ignition,
Feeders radiator, Spiral Bevel
gear, Semi floating axle, Exlde
storage battery, Wagner starting
and lighting system, and Warner
Steering gear, as eleven of its I'M
portant features.
You will find two or more of these
features on IA cars, ranging IN
price from $4,000 to $4,000.
You will find two or more of these

WAR.

The world war has made prominent
the problems relating to the Negro.
There is in the United States his mi
grafton to the North. On the firing
line in France, thousands of black sol

Africa, the continent richest in natural
resources, is one of the stakes for
which the war is being fought. All of
these things have increased the de-
mand for accurate, comprehensive and
concise information concerning the
Negro. Such information is supplied
by the almost five hundred pages of
