tinction Of Letting
Contract No. !

The first car to Dealer No. / IN
the worldwide sales organization of
Dodge Brothers has been found to
be the same sturdy performer it was
when it rolled off the assembly line
back in November, 1914.
The veteran tou:ing car was re-

and it has q proud history for long
tours through the eastern states and
Canada among its recent accom-
plishments.
The distinctf on of holding dealer
contract NO. 4 goes to John Cheek,
president of the Cumberland Motor
Car Co., CT Nashville, who made the
first sale of f. Dodge car, and who
still holds tkle company's franchise
for that Territory.
The story Of his success in the
automotTe siield, and his start with
the Dodge agency of Nashville is in
dicative OF Ehe character Of the man
himself. IT was in 1914. when Eu-
rope was in the first stages Of the
world war, that Mr.. Cheek first
heard that Horace and John
Dooge Were going into the automo-
i've manufacturing field.
Mr.. Gcbeek. and his father. Col.
Joel 60. Cheek. happened to be in
Sandjusky, Ohio. when they heard
the gsplans of Dodge Brothers. On
apr 5roaching them, arrangements
were completed for the first Dodge
agency by a deposit of $1,000 as a
guarantee, Without having seen a
car, Mr.. Cheek placed his order for
500 for the first year. to show his
confidence in the Dodge Brothers,
and the car they planned to place
on the market. Just before Christ
mas in 1914, the first shipment. con-
sisting of a Dodge touring car
Grated IN a box, reached Nashville
by express.
Since that time, the Cumberland
Motor Car Co. has EXPANDED to take
care of the constantly increasing

House Party Leaders Provide
Unusual Personality Contrast
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, April Gloon
gresham John D. Garner of Texas,
new democratic leader in the house
OF representatives, is a dashing, cut
and-slash political c~avalryman.
Congressman John @. Tilson of
Connecticut, the republican leader,
is a very heavy artilleryman.
Garner loves fighting-fierce, hot
forays. hand to hand.
Tilson is ponderous. His first
thought is of his main POSITIONS
perfect safety. Then, too, be sure.
he seeks to advance-but not by
rushes. Gradually. IF the foe would
refrain from Fostering him, he
would gladly do it without fighting
at all. Fighting Is not a joy to him,
as it is to Garner-but only a means
to an end.
Garner gallops madly ahead of his
rough riders. Tilson calmly directs
his forces operations from G. H. O..
by telephone.
All this is sound strategy on both
sides.
Colonel Tilson, being majority
leader, has got what he wants. His
business is to hang onto it. If he
can grab more, all right; but he
would be foolish to take chances, in
the mere hope of gains-because he
has so much to lose.
For Jack Gamers minority, any
change whatever is likely to be for
the better. Jacks job is to haraSs
the enemy the worst he knows how.
The complaint concerning Repre-
sentative FINS j. Garrett of Ten
neSSee, who was democratic leader
for several sessions, until the last
congress adjourned, was that he
fought the majority in the major
ity's own favorite way.
Fought" is hardly the right word.
Leaders Garrett and Tilson frat
ernized. Indeed, Garrett frequently
was referred to as Tilson's chief
lieutenant"
AS for FINS. he was taken care of.
President Coolidge gave him a nice
federal appointment to console him
for his defeat in Tennessee-and in
token of appreciation of the chiv-
alrous style of his shadow boxing
with Colonel Tilson throughout SO
many pleasant years.
However. the snug berth provided
fypor FINS will not compensate Col
onel Tilson for the sleep he must
lose through having Jack Garner
leading the democratic bushwhack-
ers against the majority hencefor-
ward.
Even during the comparatively
peaceful period of FINS CARROTS
standard ~bearership of the Jeffer-
sonian representatives, Jack Garner,
was a worry to Colonel Tilson oc-
cas-onally.
Garner, was senior democratic
member OF the ways and means

DRIVE ON AGAINST
CHILD WORKERS
Welfare Director Finds Three
Youngsters Employed at
Arlington Beach.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, July IA drive against
the employment of children under the
l6-year age limit Set by the Virginia
child labor law was started yesterday by
Mrs. Mae E. Jacobs, director of public
welfare of Arlington County, when she
visited the Arlington Beach amusement
park and removed three children whom
she found working there.
Mrs. Jacobs said that on her tour
of the amusement park she found one
boy 10 years old and two IL years of
age each who were working there. One
was employed at stand and the two
others in a bowling alley.
Mrs. Jacobs Immediately removed the
children, notifying the manager OF the
park, Karl King, that he was violating
the child labor law She then COM
municated with John Hopkins Hall, jr.,
commissioner of labor of the State OF
Virginia, requesting advice as to what
course she should pursue. King was
not arrested.
Mrs. Jacobs explained that while the
boys may have been employed by per-
sons having concessions at the park,
King was in charge of the entire place
and as such responsible for their en-
ployment. She will await word from
Richmond before taking any further
steps.
The welfare worker claims that there
are a number of places in the county
where children are being employed and
that she hopes through the present
case to bring the practice to an end
without having to resort to arrests.
