CADILLAC ANNOUNCES
 CONTINUANCE OF TYPE

The announcement of the Cadillac Motor Car Co. that it will continue it's resent type of chassis and body styles this year carries with it more than usual interest. This is so because a large section of both the public and the trade have come to look to the Cadillac for developments which ex- ert a far-reaching influence in the industry.
 In the course of it's announcement, the Cadillac Company says:
 There has been no new Cadillac for four years, and not even in the lesser externals can we see warrant for change for a long time to come.
 The facts are so obvious that we feel warranted in speaking more bluntly than usual concerning the present status of the V-Type Cadillac. It stands today, the world over, in a position of almost undisputed leader ship as a smooth, level running piece of motor mechanism, without a peer.
 Expressing it in more practical terms, we believe it to be universally conceded that the Cadillac is today by far the most valuable piece of motor property htat money can buy.
 ''The principle of the V-Type Cad lilac is firmly fixed and established, and we shall earnestly strive, as we havef or four years, to progressively improve the performance.
 Except as we refine our own re- f1nements, and surpass our own standards, the Cadillac of a year from today will be the Cadillac of today.
 While scarcely needed, we believe that Cadillac owners the world over will welcome this assurance of the permanence and standardization of the type"
 Four years ago the Cadillac CdAn- pany adopted the V-Type eight cylin- der engine, the first to beb uilt com mercially on this side of the Alt lantic. Throughout this entire per iod, the characteristics and princi- ples of this construction have been faithfully retained. Broader ex- perience and increased knowledge have led to the refinements and ad- vancements which have been noted from time to time.
 In >adhering for another year to its Cadillac Company is following a pol icy of long standing. This is to adopt a principle or type only after the engineers have satisfied themselves completely of it's soundness, and thereafter to deve1op~it steadily to the highest possible point

NUTS AND STEAK,

Pound for pound, walnuts, butter nuts, chestnuts and hickory nuts are the equal in food value of a juicy steak, contain more protein (tissue building) food than white bread and but one-third less than eggs. IT these days of food scarcity and high prices, it is likely that the vast crol of\ native American nuts will receive the recognition that they deserve.

Largely Attended and Meeting =

The conference held last week al

dents of the State Of Mississippi was
largenly attended and was one of tbs
most successful of it's kind held In the

office; to encourage war gardens IN
every rural home; to organize every
school into a Junior Red Cross So

as many students in the club work as
possible. In addition to these sew
eral other topics were discussed and

NAMING GULF COAST VESSELS.

We woud be pleased and grateful if
some of the ships that are built in the
Gulf Coast yards would carry to the
portsof the world the. names showing
their place of nativity. 1t is very diff
ficult to dissuade man who owns g
boat from naming it for his nearest
daugher or wife, or his last sweet
heart if he happens to be single man
which we hope he is not. Without
censuring at all, or even being criti-
cal, but speaking to the above ques-
tion Of local pride. the Bayou Bern
ard. the Handsboro, the Gulfport. the
Pass Christian. the Biloxi. the Pasca-
goula are not bad-sounding names for
vessels made on these shores from
timbers from this State, and 1arnched
from Mississippi Gulf Coast yards
Just little sentiment, probably, yet
provincial pride without which no IT.
cality is worth while. Are we EMIT

Up TO MIR. McADOO

Director General McAdoo has an
other job on hand-the investigation
of the statement made by w. G. Lee
president of the trainmen, about the
methods now employed by the rail-
road officials. If it is discovered that
the words of Mr.. Lee have exposed
an existing condition in the transpor-
tation affairs of the Nation, then the
application of the big stick" will
become necessary. The American
people want to see the game played
fairly. They are not willing to be
hoodwinked by certain group of men
at the sacrifice of American blood.
Mr.. Lee told the Railroad Wage
Commission that the transportation
railroad systems of the country sud-
denly collapsed through the efforts
of the officials of the railroads to
discredit Government ownership. He
claimed that crews were delayed
purposely, changes made In personnei
and rolling stock misused only to have
the results reflect on the Administra-
tion at Washington. 1t was further
stated at the hearing that every effort
was being made to handicap trans
portation and to create dissatisfac-
ton. Five New York banks in con-
troll of most of the railroad stock of
the country were said to be the main
offenders.
The minds of the American people
will not be satisfied until the affair
is thoroughly exposed. The truth
must be known. and the people have
enough faith in Director General Nc
Adoo to believe that the whole story
will be known.
