Livery inch a Packard but priced

that a Packard provides distinguished
transportation for nearly four times the
payment period. Second, because it is not
the Packard policy to obsolete cars in
service by frequent and radical changes in
design. And, third, because the trend in
eight-cylinder motor cars is very definitely
toward the straight eight.
The new Packard Straight Eight power
plant, with its nine-bearing crankshaft, is
marvel of rugged, compact simplicity.
Perfected from the experience of 80 years
of engine design, it provides smooth and
flexible power flow that is unequaled-per-
formance both brilliant and dependable.
We will fairly appraise your present car
and accept it as cash. If it is of average
value it should more than make the down
payment on a Packard Standard Eight,
leaving but small monthly payments
which you can conveniently meet.

BETTER WEATHER
INFORMATION VITAL
More Extensive Service Would
Have Aided Zeppelin to
Dodge Storm.
r. tho Associated Press.

r. me HSSnClsl Fu PRESS
NEW YORK. October l7-Better
weather information service is the chief
need of the new era of commercial air
transportation. in the opinion of Col
Emilio Herrera, chief of the technical
service of the Spanish military air
corps. who was a passenger on the
Graf Zeppelin.
Ample meteorological service would
have enabled Dr. Hugo Ecxener, COM
mander of the dirigible, to avoid the
storm in which one of the ships fms
was damaged. Col. Herrera said tonight.
He was aboard the airship as OBJ
server in preparation for proposed
transatlantic air service between Seville
Spain, and Buenos Aires. The Graf
Zeppelin. he said. will be the first air
liner used in this service. under a lease
with option 10 purchase at the end Of
two years by the &C lpania Colon
Transaerea de Espana.
The service, he said probably will
start in May after trial trips TO de-
iermine operation costs and passenger
rates. The trip. he estimates. will re-
quire three and one-half days one way.
AS soon as he receives instructions
from his government, he will go to
South America to make arrangements
for the service including construction
OF hangers to house ships even larger
than the Graf Zeppelin.
Arrival of the first air merchantmen
at LakehurSt Col Herrera declared,
definitely marked the start of a COM
mercial air transportation era over the
Atlantic. Dirigibes, he said. are more
practicable for this service than planes
because they offer a wider margin of
safety,

DIR. DUBOIS CONCLUSIONS.

DR.. w. E. b. Dubois, under the
cap-ion. THE Possibility of Demo
cracy in America" deals in the
October number of the New York
Crisis with the political situation,
with the acknowledgment Of Negroes
in this country, and the disfran-
chisement of the white people as
well. He says: ...... "... 80 ,a."
For several years after the World
War | used to talk concerning the
results of the War, and to say that
notwithstanding the slaughter and
the upheaval that always accom-
pany war we were going to have in
the world an extension of democracy
as a result of the fighting; that the
democracy which formerly had ruled
in restricted fields-in the election
of officials, in the so-called political
world-we were going to see extend
ed into industry, so that in regard to
work and wages and income, we were
going to have democratic control.
But | write today to apologize and
change my thesis. l was wrong IN
what was predicting. see today
without any doubt that instead OF
the great question of democracy be-
ing an extension of democratic con-
troll into further territory, the prob
lem that faces US in America and
faces the world is the question as TO
whether we can keep the territory
which we thought democracy had al
ready conquered; that, as matter
of fact, in every single culture coun-
try there is today a fight to retain
democracy, and that reaction and
oligarchy are beginning to hold up
their heads in the world and to
triumph. Moreover, here in the
United States, here where we have
essayed the greatest experiment in
democracy, we have perhaps the

far dealing could do such thing.
We presume that Mr.. Church Will
not pursue the matter further I'M

We can now get down to the issue
in the premises. BY failing to reply
to the statement that he and his

point is we'll taken. 1t was serious
oversight in accepting these appoint

his fiery disposition and lack of self
control might have been a good
selection in this respect.

these measures the vote qualified or

small is this vote that the State and
