wHrppET CONSPICUOUS
Car Buyers Study Mechanics OF
Modern Car

+ With the perfected Wbippet oecu-
pying the most conspicuous position
in the light four cylinder field, Will
Iys-Ovcrland MERCHANTS throughout
the nation report that buyers are
paying more careful attention TO the
mechanical details of this car. which
twenty months ago set new trend
for modern ear design.
These merchants state that car
quality and proven peri enhance
likewise are major factors considered
on the part of buyers.
Ii Is said that recent developments
in the light car field have emphasized
the fundamental features which were
introduced by the Whppet and which
have been steadily maintained in its
production. Motor car authorities
say that in its basic elements Of con
struction, the Whippet remains as dis
tinctly advanced as when II was first
presented.
The Whippet, engineers state. still
has the only motor IN the light
four cylinder class that actually de
velops 100 per cent more power than
its official rating and which develops
this power with actual savings in its
cost Of operation.
Power, speed, economy and stamina
accomplishments of the Whippet have
set a new high standard Of perform
ance in the light car field since its ini-
tial presentation twenty months ago.
Since that time the combined mileage
of the Whippets in the field IS esti-
mated at half billion miles.
WHY'S Overland officials declare
that the recent reduction in Whippet
prices. which places these modern
cars in direct price competition with
the lowest priced ears was not an at
tempt to meet a price situation for
II was definitely decided that the
original Whippet quality and beauty
should be maintained regardless OF
what prices could be reached.
1t is pointed out, that part for part
and specification for specification, the
perfect Whippet duplicates the origin
Al car in every detail of quality and
workmanship with even greater
value being offered at the new prices
in some details of construction.
The tremendous sales volume is cit
ed as evidence acceptance of the
Whippet, and an indication of its
quality leadership in the light four
class.

SECRETARY, URBAN LEAGUE.
ADDRESSES SOCIAL WORKERS

j. Harvey Kerns, executive secre-
tary of the Omaha Urban league, was
special guest of the executive board
of the conference of social workers
at their monthly meeting in the Uni
versity club.
In outlining the work of the Urban
league and some of its detectives, Mr.,
Kerns declared the beginning of the
Urban league as an organization
marked the turning point in social
service among Negroes. "The Urban
league" he said, was the first step
toward the cooperation and co-ordin-
alton of agencies attempting social
work among Negroes. The league
recognizes that any program planning
constructive work among Negroes
should be preceded by careful and
scientific study of the field. The Ne
gro problem, so-called, is largely one
of health, housing, recreation and RAJ
cial friction, often intensified by a
lack of sympathetic understanding.
The Negro today is not seeking aims,
The monitor., 1928-07-20

but opportunity; opportunities to
work on jobs for which they are quail
flied, at salary commensurate with
their services, and opportunity for
advancement.
From cursory survey and general
observations, he said the Urban
league program should assist materi-
ally in improving certain conditions
in Omaha. He urged closer cooper
alton and a greater tolerance in the
questions affecting race, stating that
the social and economic life of the
two groups are so closely interviewer
that what is detrimental to one group
is detrimental to the other, and what
benefits one group is of benefit to
the other.

BOOST OMAHA

The fact that eastern capital
is being invested in Omaha is
a pretty sure indication that
this city has great future be-
fore it. There is no Disgusting
the fact that we have been
passing through an era of de-
preston, in common with 9th
er great metropolitan centers,
but that the low level has been
reached and we are now on the
upgrade is quite apparent. Let
US all then have faith in Omaha
and boost for our town. 1t is
a good place in which to live
and to plan for the future of
ourselves and families, and let
us all do our best to help make
it better place.

FARM RELIEF

Is there not a whole lot of
bunkum about Farm Relief?
1t does not look very much like
farmers are in danger of the
poorhouse. Spellbinders and
special writers would have us
believe that unless there is
some special legislation to sta
Billie farm products and pro-
tect farmers it will not be long
before most of those who fol
low agricultural pursuits will
be objects of public charity.
Verify it seemeth to US that
much of this talk about farm
relief is bunkum.

THE RISING NEGRO
(From Emporia Gazette

The Negro professional men in
America, outside the larger cities, la
Dor under tremendous handicaps
Considering the obstacles imposed on
them, it is amazing that so many have
been able to succeed.
In the larger cities, brilliant Negro
lawyers and singers, successful Negro
surgeons and actors, are no longer a
curiosity. But the Negro profession
al man has to contend with the preju-
dices of his own race, as well as those
of the white people.
Many Negroes, accustomed to take
the white man at his face value, un;
consciously accept his assumption of
superiority in the professions, and
when they are sick or when they need
lawyer, they prefer to entrust them
selves to a white doctor or lawyer,
although there may be Negro profes-
sional men who are much more highly
skilled. These prejudices are as
deeply ingrained in the Negro race as
they are in the white race. 1t is com
monty observed, in states which per-
nit travelling Negroes to eat in the
dining cars, that the Negro walters
frequently take occasion to slight and
to insult in small ways the Negroes
who venture in. The Negro walters
feel that the Negro diner is putting
on airs" by eating in the dining car,
and take occasion to show their pref
udices.
The Negro race, if it is to begin to
gain equality in the professional field
with the white race, must respect its
own professional men-its many bril-
liant teachers, actors, lawyers, doc
tors and ministers.
Negroes should be proud of the
success of Roland Hayes, Charles Gil
pin, Florence Mills and others who
have already commanded the respect
and admiration of the white people
Furthermore, Negroes should assist in
