CONSISTENCY IS
 FEATURE OF NASH
Designed With Idea Of De
 probability And Service, Says Charles Nash

Consistent performance has always been and still is one of the outstanding features of the Nash car. Mir. Chas, Nash, manufacturer of the Nash, has ever been a strong believer in depend ability in preference to al otherl quali- ties in a motor car.
 The Nash car is designed throughout with the idea,of making it the most de- penable and serviceable means of motor car transportation. Of course, other desireable qualities such as beauty, finish, riding qualities, etc., are not neglected, but they are subordinat- ed to the dominant aim of making the Nash car of exceptional long life and durability.
 The public is fast learning that flashy appearance and flashy performance of short life are both worth very little in a motor car when one considers q car in the proper light of an invest ment in transportation. If the in- vestment is to be profitable and sat isfactory, then the car must be capable of operating over long periods of time with slight upkeep cost. This factor of dependability is, after all, the most important one to be considered in an automobile. The Nash factory was among the first to recognize that the public was tired of trick performing automobiles and new and unproven designs.
 What the public wants and really should have is car that will last a long time and which will operate with a minimum of repair expense. The fact that the Nash is such a car ac- counts for it's remarkable popularity and it's hosts of satisfied owners.

GOOD DEALER CAR
 OWNERS BEST BET Car Performance Is Better In Community Of Good Dealers

Passing seasons serve only to en,- phasize the fact that the backbone of car performance in any community is the good dealer," says P. R. McCom- mack to Mccormack Brothers.
 ''There is food for thought in the fact that millions of finely adjusted and complicated machines are operat- ing consistently under difficult condi- tions of duty hundreds and thousands of miles from the factories in which they were made.
 Inevitably, car performance is ale ways better in the community where the greatest measure of real dealer re- sponsibility exists. And the dealer who fails to adequately meet the local needs of the cars he sells is shirking an obligation to his home town.".

ARE CONQUEREDE
 M. OVERLAND DRIVE

Countless demonstrations over al sorts of hills in all parts of the country staged by Willys-Overland dealers have convinced the motoring public of the tremendous stamina and power of the new Overland motor..
 Possibly no more spectacular feat of this sort has ever been staged than that of the Overland-Arizona company Phoenix, Ariz., in its conquest of Motor. cycle hill, which has since been re- named Overland peak. /
 Motorcycle hill, lying on the north erly nose of old Camelback mountain has long been regarded as insurmount grade and approximately 1000 feet long. There is scarcely any road and the course lies over jagged rocks that cut tires to ribbons; over it also are soft areas of fine, loose rock and gran. ite that attempt to strangle the motor that dares brave them.
 Such is the hill over which a new Overland pulled seven people, weighing 1,1O0 pounds, stopping in the middle of the hill, where all momentum was lost, then proceeding without undue effort and finished with. such ease that 1t went over the top in second gear.
 The accomplishment of this feat has since been the talk of Arizona.
 Browning Automobile company of Salt Lake City, Utah, pulled 16 men up "A'' street in low and then up State street in second, two remarkable feats, as no car has ever been known to negotiate either of these inclines with more than four passengers. Then, to top off the demonstration q Red Bird was turned off the road and forced to climb half way up mountain just outside of the city, blowing it's way through sunflowers and sagebrush to within 1j feet of the large "U" placed on the mountainside by students of the Uni versity of Utah.
 Another Overland touring car per formed climb of the entire Mohawk trail in the Berkshires, making the en. tire trip in higha gear. not an easy un- dertaking for any car. Motorists who have climbed the old Indian Ladder road in the Hilderberg mountains of northern New York realize what con- quest it was for the Overland to list this hazardous incline among its vic tins.
 In Atlanta. Ga, an Overland car climbed the steep steps of Piedmont park, after obtaining permission from city authorities.
 In San Francisco an Overland climbed the grass-covered slopes of Jones Street hill, known from coast to coast for its steep grade.
 An Overland climbed to Buffalo Bill $ grave on Lookout mountain, just out side of Denver, climbing all but the last lap of the trip in high gear. The last leg was made in low gear, inasmuch as there is no road leading to the grave and the grave and the trip is usually made on foot.

 Instead of being a legitimate article of merchandise, filling its proper place in the scheme of individual transporta. tion, the used car has. become a para site, living off the net profit of the dealer and eating into transportation costs of the millions who drive auto motive vehicles.

John Spargo has made the circuit
- from reformism to reaction with
more rapidity than some of his former
colleagues but his career, eliminating
in the support of Coolidge, is merely
a sort Of trail blazing for the Hillquits,
Oneals, Bergers and Wallings. They
have taken a more roundabout route
but with the rest Of the leaders of the

selves supporting one of the parties of
capitalism because their own organiza-

In his denunciation Of his former

one truth. He says: Life has placed

In truth these bodies are the invisible but guiding

We know what the actions of the American

Hungarian Workers Awaken

The acquittal by a Hungarian court OF the
Piroska brothers and other defendants, members
of the Awakening Hungarians, who threw bombs
into q mixed crowd in the ballroom of Jewish
society about year ago causing number OF
deaths, will probably have the same effect upon
the fascist Horthy government that the defense of
the murderers of Matteotti by Mussolini had upon
his regime-a popular revolt.
According to dispatches, indignation is at high
pitch and the acquittal of the assassins has be-
come major political issue. The Awakening Hun
garians have been the chief support of the Horthy
government Formed of ex-army officers and, as
a dispatch 10 the New York Times states members
of the "most ignorant sections of very young
people, besides large number of lawless elements
who find convenient cover for their evil deeds IN
der patriotic guise," the Awakening Hungarians
are kindred of the terroristc organizations of CAPT
talism everywhere.
Such is the resentment aroused by the acquittal
of the acknowledged murderers among whom we're
the highest leaders of the organization, that the
Horthy government must curb drasticaly the
power of this semi-ofcial organization abdicate
Inasmuch as the Horthy regime retains power by
terror alone any curtailment of the activities of
its most effective supporters is tantamount to sur
render.
There is discernibe already in the capitalist
press a note of pessimism relative to the future
which so much praise has been lavished when it
was crushing the revolts of the Hungarian work
ing class.
The next chapter will be the renaissance of the
Communist movement in Hungary.

But is is necessary to success that a

The republican party is noted for the powerful
propaganda machine that it has under its control
One need but turn to the manner in which it adj
vertised the Mellon scheme to save the biggest
business interests from taxation. Just now it is
working at break-neck speed in bluffing the coun-
try into the belief that it is all but the shout
ing in so far as the election of Coolidge goes.
All of which may be necessary attempts in the
drive to psychologist the country for the strike
breaker president. But there are obstacles in the
way. The machine is beginning to show signs of
creaking. Not all is smooth the road. Smith w.
Brookhart United States senator from Iowa, has
openly demanded that Dawes be taken off the
ticket or else he will be compelled to bolt This
demand is, of course only signal for the with
drawal of Brookhart from the republican fold
There is every likelihood that Senator Norris will
follow suit.
The mere Withdrawals of Brookhart or of Norris
are in themselves not the most ominous phases of
the situation confronting the republican party
Neither Brookhart nor Norris was counted
upon by the reactionary national committee for
unstinted support. The primary purpose of the
Coolidge clique to prevent these individuals
from jumping off the reservation openly in order
to prevent the signs of the deep-going party dem
oraliZatiOn becoming evident to that mass of fol
lowers that is wavering. This refusal of Brook
hart to be on the Coolidge bandwagon definitely
shows that many of the so-called doubtful repub-
lican states good deal more doubtful than
many have thought them to be. In fact they APP
pear to be doubtful in their regularity that
even the hesitatng BroOkhart and the wavering
Norris are prepared to come out openly far in adj
vance of the time LaFollette or they themselves
thought they could safely do so.

his place on the ballot Norris did likewise
