POLITICIANS Who
HEED THIS ADVICE
should Win Votes

A fen "don'ts" for campaign speak
ers of the other group aOhose deep
solicitude for the political VelfGro of
Negroes 1OiH soon be in evidence.
In prefacing your remarks to an as
semblage of colored people, please:
Don't mention your old "black mann
my" that's poor stuff for US.
Don't put too much stress on the
remarkable progress we have made
within the past go years; we know all
about it; we are also further aware
that with all of our progress, we have
not yet arrived at the place where we
are accorded a mans chance in
American life as is given men of 9TH
er races.
Don't consume too much time tell
ing us about Booker T. Washington
and the wonderful story of his life;
we would greatly prefer that you tell
it to your children and friends to the
end that they may know of it and it
might cause them to place higher
estimate on the capabilities and worth
of the Negro.
Don't tell us that you know we are
all republicans and are going to vote
the straight republican ticket; there
is chance for you to be mistaken.
Colored folks make mistakes the
same as white people Some may be
voting with the democrats.
Don't tell US any darky stories; the
time has passed when that either in
terests or amuses US.
If you should care to preface your
remarks by touching upon matters of
interest to our group you might men
tion how you stand on the question
of human rights, not how your grand
father stood, in days of the under
ground railroad, but what you are
actually doing toward carrying out
that philosophy of "The Fatherhood
of God and the Brotherhood of Man
as taught by the Lowly Nazarene."
When you get through prefacing
and begin your speech, talk to US as
you would any other bunch of intelli-
gent Americans, and above all things
do not refer to us as you people"
By properly observing the above
'don'ts" you will have less difficulty
in reaching the hearts and command
ing the attention of your audience.

apply the brakes, as this makes matters worse, because wheel can only be directed when it is rolling. If its hold on the road is already so slight that it is slipping out of the path we want it. to follow, then by trying to stop it from rotating we merely make it so much the harder to steer. Suppose now that the road is wet and that the car is still steering properly, it can generally be made to skid by sud- denly applying the brakes hard, even without trying to make the slightest turn out of the straight. This is because even if the brakes are perfectly compensated, the adhension of the tires will not be identical. One will look first, even supposing both of them ap- parently lock together. As was already pointed out, locked wheel cannot be steered, because to be steered it must be rolling; so once it is locked it may slide in any direction. Often it slides straight.
 At low speed if cars steering is already set straight it will usually slide straight if the rear wheels are locked. When running faster, however, the wheels hardly ever are set abso- lutely straight, for it is not possible to hold them so over small road in- equalities. Let them be ever so

 WOCOPEP USERS
To Include Them In Birth. day Party To Be Held
 In March :

Names of the first users of Woco Pep Motor fuel, which was first in- trod1ced on March 15, 1918, at the filling station then operated at the corner of Sixth avenue and Twentieth street, are being sought by, the Wolf ford Oil company, manufacturers of Wocco Pep, in their plans for their second annual birthday celebration to be held in Birmingham the middle of March.
 Woco Pep was the first benzol-blend motor fuel sold commercially in Amer lea and was first introduced here in Birmingham. Each year the Woford company celebrates the anniversary and the event is looked upon throughout the motor world as an important one in the development of the automobile in-' dustry.e
 While no special promises are made by the company in its search for the original Woco Pep users, it is under stood that they are to be included in birthday party, which will be held shortly after March 10. = 7. Woco Pep, since its introduction has come to be known as one of the fore most motor fuels in the country and has been widely copied and initiated both in the south and throughout the country. The Wofford company is acknowledged as the. leader in manu- featuring benzol-gasoline blends and countless efforts have been made to duplicate the Woco Pep formula but always without success. Because it was the pioneer in the industry, the Wofford company is the only marketing com pany in the country which can sell motor fuel of the quality of Woco Pep at the same price as gasoline without taking loss. .ss -.
 The development of the Woco terri tory from single filling station in Birmingham to cover four southern states is one of the most romantic in the oil industry and has never been duplicated, and according to those. in touch with the oil business, will never he duplicated.

WALEs DARLING. DRESSER

: The popular Prince of Wales shows uaring in otheg :skivities than sports, says Raymond de Nye in Le Petit Parisien.
 ''He is a brave man," remarked a famous London tailor recently.
 Certainly, but in what particular!''
 Well, I may not be very well quali- fled to judge" said the tailor, "but what mean is that he is exactly like his grandfather-thoroughly capable, for instance, of deciding tomorrow that his trousers shall be creased on the sides instead of fore and aft. Then, observe the daring of his costumes. He has the courage, for example, to button only the top button of his vest. You think that a small matter? It isn't ; it's tremendous!
 And then, the colors that he chooses Anyone can see that he has travelled and that brilliant or delicate shades, hdmired beneath foreign skies, still haunt his dreams"
 Nevertheless, he likes gray"
 That is true. He has lent his name to some striped fabrics which are being worn this year in Europe and America. And certain. shade of maroon owes it's present vogue to him. But he'd prefer something more fantastic. As he cannot dress. every day, however, in jade green or red, he falls back upon sport clothes. They are charming, and so is he"

Those forms of transportation in which trucks make money are almost inyari-, ably the forms in which raHx road operation practically alwaM involves losses. It is an acknowledgeH fact in railroad circles today that motor truck operation can be substituted f0f railroad operation in short-branch line service, in trap-car work, in terminal and suburban distribution.
 "The bus is not a competitor of the electric railway. If all the busses in operation today were removed it would make very little difference in the num- Der of people carried by the electric railway. The touring car-individual transporta tion which everybody likes-S., is the active competitor of the rail- ways. There are several instances Of higb-class bus service that. pay well without showing any influence on street car revenues. The right kind of ser-. vice is getting people to ride in busses' instead of their own automobiles, and those same people would drive their own cars rather than take tho streeti car.
 1t is important that our steam and electric railroads should enter the iiciu VI uiOIOT tTuuspoTtdJiOH HOW, anu direct its development in order the better to offer the kind of service tho public demands and is willing to pay for"
 Mir. White emphasizes the belief of the motor industry that the same prin- ciples should govern the operation of motor vehicles as common carriers a6 are applied by state regulatory com missions in the operation of other public utilities.
 For example," he says, "the motor bus carrying passengers for hire ie, in its very nature, a monopoly, and as such should not be permitted to operate until it has applied for and secured a certificate of public conven- fence and necessity from a fair state commission. It should be required to carry public liability insurance ade- quate to indemnify injury to persons and property"
 Tax questions affecting the bus and truck in cooperative and co-ordil mated system of transportation are treated from the standpoint of solu- tion in Mir. Whites article. S8
 The motor industry" he says, "has taken definite stand on taxation. 1t contends that the cost of construction of improved highways for the use of the general public should be paid for out of funds raised by general taxation and that the entire annual budget for the maintenance of improved highways used by motor vehicles should be paid out of special taxes levied on the motor vehicle" fs

What To Do To Prevent Skidding
Dy eARNEY OLDElELD

luckily, to do the natural thing and turn back again, the rule being, Turn in the direction in which the rear end is skidding."
 To understand better just what hap pens, suppose you were pushing heavy table along the floor and somebody sud denly twitched the front legs sideways. Your tendency would be to fall over the opposite way.
 One may wonder why it is that when turning out of the straight the front wheels go in the direction they are steered and why the front end of the car does not go. on just pushing the front wheels sideways. The reason is that the concentration of weight is good distance back of the front wheels aid also that they are rolling free. With the rear wheels either the engine is driving them or they are driving the engine which means that there is 8 drag between the tires and the road that is already lessening the adhension.
 When a skid of this kind starts the worst possible thing. to do is to
