WHERE is the manufacturer now who
could resist the public demand for
four-wheel brakes? Where is the car
which could stand out against the de-
mand for balloon tiresp Yet these inn
provements are trifles compared with
what you find in Blackhawk. Not a
single featme-but an impressive list
sets this car apart-as the one by which
all new cars must be judged today.
Strong statements1 Indeed they are.
But we only ask that you reserve judg-

Blackhawk will not roll backwards
when you stop it on an incline. No need
to hold your foot on the brake. No
juggling with controls in starting. You
start on an incline as easily as on the

offered exclusively by Stutz and Black

JAMAICA INDEBTEDNESS
Is PAID IN FEW YEARS
Increased Revenues Come Largely
From Rum Runners, Who Pay
Heavy Duties.

KINGSTON, Jamaica up. - Within
the last few years the government of
this British crown colony has paid off
its entire Indebtedness and started a
number of important public works. In
creased revenues have come largely
from rum runners, who are willing to
pay heavy import and export duties
and take chance of landing cargoes
on the Florida coast of the United
States.
The tax on one cargo which recently
left here was $4,000, a sample of what
the policy of trying to discourage the
violators of American laws has done
for the treasury of the colony. BY keep
ing UP the tariff on incoming liquor
the government claims to safeguard
what is left of the old industry that
made Jamaica rum famous throughout
the world. But this also gives the treas
ury chance to profit by both the COM
ing and going of the smugglers.
The runners pay cash for the car
goes which they buy here and a num-
Der of private fortunes have been made
by colonists.

'SCARFAC AL
AS SPORTSMAN
DRAWS LAUGHS
Chicago Cops Just Can't
See Gang Lord as Genial,
Refined Gentleman.

BH United Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 22-Police Off
GERS who have watched his donina-
ton of gangland for five years,
smiled broadly today at reports
from Florida that "Scarface Al"
Capone was assuming an attitude of
the refined and genial American
sportsman.
John Siege, deputy commission
er, himself just back fon vaca-
ton in the southland, reconciled
the picture of Capone on his Florida
estate with the more unfavorable
picture of Capone, lord of Chicago
vice and beerdo1n.
That's merely the way he oper-
ates,". Siege said. "He has made Il
huge fortune by his unlawful "
PLOTS and he has been able TO, buy
someof the trappihgs of respecta-
bilfty.
This does not mean that Capone
can not be gracious and hospitable.
The Latins are like that, you know.
At least the class of Latins we are
dealing with in our warfare against
crime here in Chicago.
Dean O'Banion, although an
Irishman, learned the way of the
rich. gangster and was first to prac-
tice it. He wore a benevolent smile,
referred to all men as swell fellows
but he always kept one hand free
and near his shooting irons.
why, O'Banion even had his
clothes tailored so that he could
carry three pistols without any one
seeing them"
Siege laughed at Capone's naive
declarations of his, innocence,
1T Capone has a clear conscience,
that's merely because he hasn't any
conscience at ALL" the deputy said.
Captain John Shoemaker, who has
devoted most of his time to study
ing and combating gang wars for
the last five years, went SO far as to
charge that Capone himself may
have ordered the massacre of seven
Bugs Moran gangsters here a week
ago today.
ut is just as good a theory as any
other" said Shoemaker, shat Ca
pone men committed these murders
in revenge for the Staying last
autumn of Tony Lombardo, Ca
pone's chief lieutenant
I'VE are not so certain that there
was not falling out between Ca
pone and the Moran gang. Certain
ly the killings were worthy of Ca
pone's tactics.
@Capone is no hero, He's just a
gunman like the rest of them"
