WHIPPET SETS MARK
OF Sc % MILES
AN HOUR In RACE
Outdistances Six Cylinder Cars in
1OO-mile Grind on Dirt Track
In San Antonio, Tex.

Travelling 100 miles at an aver
age speed of Sc "a miles an hour
Is the latest mark hung up by a
Whipped Collegiate Roadster in a
stock car race at San Antonio,
Tex, a few days g in competition
with IA other cars, 10 OF which
were six cylinder models of various
makes.
In this gruelIing grind over a
Emile dirt track, the Whippet
Roadster finished SECOND to a six
cylinder car which won at an av-
erage speed of 81 miles an hour.
The Whippet finished three minutes
behind the winner.
The Whippet Roadster in this
race gave a remarkable exhibition
Of speed, stamina and economy de-
spite the fact that it was in COM
petition against higher priced and
more powerful cars. The Whippet
Roadster was the only car in the
race that was not forced to visit
the pits for gasoline, oil, water or
o mechanical repairs.
At the end of the ace the Whip
pets gasoline tank was still half
full, the radiator water supply was
nearly the same as al the start
and the oil gauge showed better
than a haif-gallon remaining.
The thousands who witnessed this
outstanding exhibition OF a four
cylinder a pitted against a field
of six cylinder cars costing better
than $1,000 each, were amazed at
the performance. Time and again
the Whippet Roadster attained a
speed of 70 miles an hour. tipping
past the six-cylinder cars, and not
for an instant did the motor fail to
respond to the demands of the driv-
er. Despite the high speed main
tanned the Whipped Roadster
showed no signs of over heating.
This is taken as a tribute to the
efficient cooling system employed in
the Whippet.

At a meeting of the directors OF
The Nash Motors Company held
July 8, a quarterly dividend of 81
per share and an extra dividend OF
SO cents e share were declared
on the outstanding common stock

cal year. covering the three months
ending May 81, 1927, after de-
Quoting expenses of manufacturing,
including depreciation. selling and
administration, and providing for
local taxes, and state and federal
income taxes, the net income
amounted to $~5,566,2S1.O8 This
compares with net income for the
second quarter of the 1926 fiscal
year of $6,010,s24.45. Total net

With reference to the condition
OF the company and outlook for
the future, President C. w. Nash
expressed himself as feeling very
optimistic with regard to prospects
for increased Nash sales and the
soundness of business in general
Among the reasons establishing
this optimistic attitude" stated
President Nash, sis the remarkable
reception accorded our new models

Company announced three entirely

play by our dealers all over United

ed by the tremendous sales since
their introduction.

response to this new line of cars

ton of being unable to fill orders
which is a distinctly unusual situa-
ton at this season of the year and
can only be attributed to the ex-
ceptional excellence OF the product.

WORKING IN THE
AFTERNOON
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.

WE START out pretty fresh usu-
w ally in the morning. We have
81 IT well; the cares of yesterday
have been forgotten. The morning
sun is shining, a fresh breeze Is blow
ing from the south. and we feel re-
freshed and vigorous. Noon finds US
weary. however. with whatever men
tai or physical toll has engaged Us,
and as the sun grows hot and the
day lengthens out in the long after
noon, WEI lose our enthusiasm,
strength ncnes. and we feel like CIV
ing up the task. 1t Is not easy to
work with vigor In the afternoon. 1t
requires interest and persistence and
courage. You cannot judge a man
fairly by what he does In the morn
ing; it is how he sticks out the after
400 that counts. A good beginning
augurs well, but 1t is the finish that
counts.
Wagner got a good deal OF praise
for his accomplishments. He was the
head of a great organization, and
these who knew him Intimately were
constantly referring to his unusual
vision. He planned wonderful things
for his organization to accomplish and
he started a good many OF these. He
did not fully oun the cost, however.
He started this thing and that. and
what he started was no doubt worth
while, but he never quite finished any
thing. His changes Of organizations
were quite carried to a con-
clusion nor completely thought out.
The buildings which he started were
" quite completed. He was a
man who could work well In the
enthusiasm in the afternoon. Some
one else had to take up what he be-
gan and carry 1t to a conclusion II
it were ever finished.
Middle age is one OF the most criti-
cal times In any mans life. The en-
thusiasms of youth and its bodily Wig
or may easily carry one up to forty
five. Until then the morning seems
fair and balmy, but noon ONE and
the sun is hot and blistering, and pres
emily the afternoon creeps ON and
night approaches. The work drags,
the body is weary. 1t takes courage
n character to &C on.
The great majority of business men
fail at about fifty. They have found
1t easy work in the morning, but they
give up In the afternoon. The world
looks drab. ''They see the gray rain
over the waters" and they lose heart.
1 called on Grant last week. Forty
seven he is, with an unusual mind and
a fine training, and he has done a
good work In his profession, but the
task has been very hard during the
last few years. The afternoon faces
him now. He has met a hard prob
lem in life at a critical time and he
seems unequal to 1t. All of his VI
vacity has gone out to him. he spends
his days thinking, and his thoughts
carry him nowhere. His friends try
to cheer him, his family attempts to
stimulate his interest in life, but he
just cannot pull himself together. 1t
is afternoon, the interest and the en-
thusiasm Of morning have disap-
peared, the sun is climbing down the
western sky he knows that night Ia
coming on and he shudders.

nahd many unreliable persons are OstenslbIy

investor should first divide the sheep from the
goats before he hazards his savings. Because
there are many dishonest manipulators using
mining, oil, invention and promotion terms to
deceive does not mean that all promoters in
these fields are crooked. The truth is, there
are many trustworthy men engaged in pro-
noting enterprises that are honest invest
ments. The problem is to know the difference
between promoters of the reliable type and the
high-pressure variety. The former are en-
gagged in legitimate business. The other group
is engaged in fleeing the public.
The number of those who deliberately
scheme to defraud is large and they are
Ghrewd and deceitful. For this reason those
