NEW WHIPPET CAR
A MOTOR MARVEL

One of the sensations in the automo-
bile world is the perfected "Whippet'
produced by the WHY'S Overland, Inc,
and it Is direct evidence that John N.
WHY'S, president of the corporation,
proposes to make good on his decla
ration that "there can be no monopoly
in the light car field" The perfected
car, and the price at which it is
offered, placing it directly in compe-
tition with the lowest priced cars, has
conferred the eyes Of the automobile
industry and the motor car world In
general on the enterprsing Toledo
manufacturer 1t makes him the first
manufacturer of automobiles to enter
the price field heretofore exclusive to
but one light car manufacturer.
The "Whippet," which has been in
production for more than IS months,
holds the national fuel economy rec
ord of 1929 miles to the gallon in
test between Los Angeles and New
York City, covering distance of 1859
miles, under official observation of the
A. A. A. In a speed fest on Rocking
ham Speedway, Salem, N. e.,
"Whippet" recently attained speed
of 716 miles an hour over 50-mile
route. This was officially timed.
The same engine that has accom-
plished these records is the power
plant employed in the perfected
"Whippet," now offered at the lowest
price in the history Of Willys-O Overland.
The "Whippet" was the first light
car to be equipped with four wheel
brakes, setting a new trend in the
light car field. The braking area of
the "Whlppets" brakes is greater
than any other light car
Details of the perfected "Whippet'
disclose wider range Of colors, en-
ployment Of full crown tenders,
new cadet sun visor that imparts
smart military effect, and the addition
of automatic Windshield cleaner, rear
view mirror, and d combination rear
driving light and stop light. These
additions make the "Whippet" the
most fully equipped light car built in
the four cylinder field.

Migratory Bird Treaty

resident of Ohio, who had previous
ly raised Wild fowl under federal
permit, but failed to submit the re-
quired report of operations and con-
tinued to make sales and shipments
without renewal of the permit, was
arraigned in Federal court at Toledo,
Ohio, found guilty, and fined $500 and
costs.
TO engage In the business of rearing
and selling migratory waterfowl, says
the bureau of biological survey, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
it is first necessary to obtain per-
NIT from the secretary Of agriculture
and then to comply with all require
ments Of state law.
These requirements are made under

tory species of birds passing each

Various Trades Offer
OCCUPATION to Blind

Blind men are employed In many
engineering factories. In one German
electrical concern, says the annual
report of the National Institute for
the Blind, more than one hundred
slghtless people are employed, while
double that number are being trained.
Blindness, it is said is no hindrance
to man looking after two or even
three automatic machines. The aver
age earning capacity of blind oper-
alive in these works Is considered to
be about 80 per cent of that Of a
normal-sighted man.
Ninety blind persons employed in
French engineering trades earn about
S5 per cent Of full wages. motor
factory In America employs IA blind
men, who are given the work for
which they seem most competent.
