LIBERTY ''6" COUPE HAS GRACEFUL LINES Roominess Throughout the Body Offers Advantages
 for Touring

Body designing has developed new which the Liberty Motor Car Company of Detroit, has begun to put on the market
 Glaring effects have been eliminated by use of graceful, pleasing lines throughout the design of this car. The top fines, almost perfectly straight, give a dashing appearance to the body. The strengthened top also permits moro symetrical, harmonious side win dows. The two doors are equipped with outside hinges arranged to throw the doors farther away from the body when people get in and out of the car. The deck at the rear has been raised and enlarged, providing room for as much as three or four suit cases. The new type lenders curve down over the rear wheels to a point on a line horizontal with the hubs.
 The two-piece style of windshield replaces the three-piece, and tips slightly, thus avoiding any possibility of glaring which is sometimes a fault of the perfectly vertical type. A vis- or, covered with black, reinforced leather, with panel effect, slants out over the top part of the windshield in such way that it shades the drivers eyes from the sun and keeps off the rain from the top section of the glass
 Inside the new coupe, arrangements are made for accommodating four pas sengers with ease The parcel com partment makes fine arm rest. The extra seat now permits the passenger to face to the front. instead of rear, as in the former models.
 The color scheme is dark blue for the body and interior uphofstering, with the drivers seat and wheels in

 Another New York banker summed up the question follows: With the railroads facing a shortage of equipment and taking into considera ton the fact that the truck offers haulage economy and touches many points off the usual main lines of transportation, thus being essential to food producers, one cannot doubt that the motor truck has won it's place as

 From another letter we received from the vice president of large New York bank, Mr. Williams quoted this excerpt: ITO my mind, the motor truck industry, like our railroads, should receive most favorable consid- eration and every possible assistance.

BANKERS |NDORSE PURCHASE OF TRUCK Attitude Defined in Letters to President of Motor
 Truck Company

That the financial interests recog- nize the importance of the motor truck in the nations immediate trans portation programme was brought out in number of letters received by MT. E. A Williams, Jr.. president of the Garford Motor Truck Company of Lima, Ohio.
 Recently we wrote to a number of prominent bankers" said MT. Williams, asking for an expression of their opinion as to the importance of the motor truck in the traffic emergency that exists, and requesting informa- tion as to the willingness of the finan- cial interests to endorse the purchase and use of trucks"
 An official of a large metropolitan bank, replying to Mir. Williams in quiry stated that the present money situation made it necessary for the re- striction of loans in his institution to non- essential. industries. But he added, We are happy to advise you, however, that in no case has this bank requested our motor truck customers to reduce their loans, for the reason that we do not look upon this industry as being included in the non essential class.

THE RELIGIOUS

Associated Press

LONDON, Feb. 25-Lord Lever

perjudices of the Scotchmen who live
on the extensive property he has pur-
chased in the Outer Hebrides and has
suffered a rebuff. He had planned to
make Stornoway, on the island of Lew
is, the headquarters Of huge fishing
fleet that should sweep the seas for
500 miles around. The project involv-
ed Sunday labor and the Islanders who
adhere to the strict and intense form
of the Presbyterian faith, rejected it.
Commenting on the incident the per-

THE RIGHT OF
AUSTRALIA TO
Have One Vote In The Council of Lea
que of Nations Was Defended BY
Sir Joseph Cook.
Associated Press

SYDNEY, Australia, Feb. 25-Aus-
tralia's claim to the right to have one
vote in the Council of the League of
Nations was defended by Sir Joseph
Cook, Minister Of the Navy, who was
delegate to the Peace Conference
in a recent speech here. Commenting
on the attitude of section of the
United States senate toward the Lea
que he said:
s'America is making objection to
clause x in the Leagues charter. The
objection is political from first to
last. l believe that when the presiden-
tial election is over all objection will
end" On the question of Austrian
representation in the Council of the
League, Sir Joseph said:
"The Americans led by Senator Lodge
say that the British Empire shold
have only one vote. Senator Lodges
party objects to the Empire having
five or six times the voting power of
the United States. It is not a fair
statement. All the other states in
America have one vote"
Sir Joseph enumerated under this
head Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, Ecuador,
Guatemala, Honduras Liberia, Haiti
Nicaragua, Panama, Peru and Ura-
quay, and pointed out that the popula-
ton of these countries were largely
Indian or negro. "The South Ameri-
can states" he continued, "have II
votes. How do the British Dominions
stand? New Zealand, Canada, Austria
liza, South Africa, India each has only
one vote.
"Australia's sacrifices in the wal
60, 900 dead, were greater than Amer
ica's, and all died in an effort to MAKE
America safe. America was for three
or four years out of the war while
Australia was helping to keep he1

Our market opened slightly higher,

With spot limits on the short side,

and the execution of these spot limits
caused a rapid jump to 35.4O after
May had reached 35 cents. July was
carried 80 points and October 70

There was no special news to invite
the upturn. The Texas press contains

PROGRESSED FROM
UTTER SAVAGERY
And Even Cannibalism To High Stage
OF Civilization In Brief Period
OF 20 Years.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Feb 25-
The Story of a corner of the world
that has progressed from utter sava-
pery and even cannibalism to COM
paratively high stage of civilization
in the brief period of twenty-nine
years, was told here recently by DR..
Egbert w. Smith, executive secretary
of the board of foreign missions OF
the Presbyterian church in the Uni
ted States.
The place is the region of the Lue-
bo. in the Congo. Twenty-Five years
ago there was not man of the many
thousands in that section Of Africa
that knew a letter of any alphabet.
The tremendous difficulties encounter
ed in bringing a people out OF such
total darkness can hardly be imagin-
ed, DIR. Smith said.
Yet today there are fifty thousand
pupils in the schools conducted by the
Presbyterian church in the Luebo
The people are being taught carpeIl'
try, brick-making, nursing. agricul.
ture and many other arts in institu
tions supported by the church.
The Luebo is but one of the ter
missions of the southern Presbyterian
church abroad. For the extension O.
home and foreign missions it is rals
ing $4,000, 900 in connection with 9th
er obiectives of the Presbyterian
