lat cannot be measured in Dollars

SOMEBODY suggests this simple test for
automobile buyers. Write down the price of New
Pontiac Big Six Now write below it the price of any
lower-priced car you think of. Subtract Lo and
behold! Only few dollars difference! But what
difference there is in the cars-and it cannot be
measured in dollars!
It's true, of course, that in the New Pontiac
Big Six You get greater overall length, bigger
engine, the superiorites in styling finish and safety
that only Fisher bodies provide, and such fine
advantages sdirt-and-weather-pr observation-disclosures
wheel brakes. Those are features which can be
measured in money But the real difference is even
more important than that.
It's really matter of progress. When you're
getting on in the world you want finer things. You
pass the point of getting along on just anything
handy-any home, any furniture, any automobile.
And that's where the Pontiac Big Six FITS in.

made. The members resolved further
that in order to show the depth of
appreciation which this anniversary
represents, We remove from her heart
the embarrassment of reelection quad
rennially and hereby recommend the
suspension of the rule bearing on the
election of secretary-treasurer during
her natural life for the good she has
done and for the good we believe she
will do to the last moment of her earth
~ existence. No other person in this
order has so unqualifiedly earned this
reward, this exception in our his
tory, and we give 1t in the name of
God and her devoted co-workers.
Amen"
Then. to give tangible evidence of
their gratitude and appreciation, the
order increased Mrs. Walkers compen-
sation to $500 monthly" which is but
fair" the resolution states, since the
work under the new plan is doubled and
the responsibility is greatly increased
over the former years. Another reason
for this increase in salary is the high
cost of living. The preservation of the
dignity of our grand order demands
that we keep our honored leader in
comfort without pecuniary worry, that
she may give the best energy of her
mind and spirit to this work. If any
one questions this as too magnanimous
an action or as setting a dangerous
precedent, We plead that we ask 1t as an

most a full day from the Bremen's
schedule regular running time, which is
six days from Bremen and five from the
English Channel.
Plans Three Cabin Liners.
Mr.. Sheedy soon will begin to discuss
plans with his experts for the con-
struction of three fast cabin liners to
compete with foreign lines for this
class of travel which is growing each
year. It Is his ambition to operate
weekly sailings of cabin ships. 1t Is
understood that they win have speed
sufficient to drive them across the
Atlantic in from six to seven days.
This second program coupled with
the first would place the United States
Lines in strong position on the North
Atlantic, as it would enable them to
operate weekly express sailings from
New York and the European terminals
and also maintain fast weekly cabin
sailings from both sides of the Atlantic.
At the present time the United
States Lines is maintaining three sep
arate services with the fleets of the
United States and the American Mer-
chant Lines. The former operates two
tween New York, Cherbourg and
Southampton. the other with the
America. George Washington. Repub-
lie. President Harding and President
Roosevelt between New York and Bre-
men via Plymouth. Several Of the
latter also call at Cobb.
Cargo Service Contemplated.
The United States Lines program
also calls for the acquisition of strong
cargo services to supplement its fleet
of liner tonnage. Steps in this direc-
ton were taken recently when. the
company submitted the high bid for
the 10 ships in the combined fleets of
the American Diamond and American
France Lines.
The operators Of these two services,
which offered less than half the price
submitted by the United States LINES,
have succeeded in temporarily block.
ing the sale by claiming preferential
treatment as operators. They have
since sought to bring their original
offer almost up to the high bid, but
shipping men are confident that the
two cargo lines will soon be turned
over to the Chapman-Sheedy interests.
Five of the seven Shipping Boatd
commissioners are said to favor the
sale to the high bidder, but have de-
layed action until the question con-
corning mail contracts that would be
expected to go with these lines are
passed upon by President Hoover's
special cabinet committee on the mer-
chant marine.
Although not as spectacular as SUI
perpassenger liners, cargo ships are
really the backbone of any merchant
marine power, as they are the ships
that Hay so prominent part in de-
veloping foreign trade. All of the
great maritime powers, especially Great
Britain and Germany, owe much Of
their strength to their great fleets of
cargo ships, which operate to all parts
of the world

and have succeeded more brilliantly
than this only woman president OF q
bank. through whose veins African
blood flows.
The old adage that prophet is not
without honor save in his own country
fails utterly in Mrs. Walkers case.
Those who have known her longest,
without regard to race, color or creed
are loudest in her praise. This was
strikingly illustrated when the st. Luke
Order celebrated the twenty fifth an
niversary of its secretary treasurer's
services In 1924. AS a mark of rey:,ect
and admiration for 11rs. Walker the
Governor of Virginia participated in
the exercises and paid her a glowing
tribute. Among other things Gov
Lee Trinkle told the people who
crowded the City Auditorium of Rich
mond that "if the State of Virginia
had done no more in so years with
the funds spent on the education cs
the Negroes than educate Mrs. Walker
the State would have been repaid for its
outlay and efforts"

exception (although bishops, judges
and generals have life terms in oficeJ
and we acknowledge this to be an act of
gratitude. 1t is beyond our present law
but not beyond our love"
And these resolutions were approved
both by the executive committee and
by the organization as whole, August
19. 1919.
But in spite Of the splendid work
which she has done and the generous
award with which her invaluable serv-
ices have been repaid, Mrs. Walkers life
has not always been q bed of roses, to
say the least. It Is not at all surpris-
ing that a woman as progressive, capa-

After carefully investigating the cir

the shooting was accidental, and after

Judge who presided at the Police Court
trial reached the same conclusion and
Russell was acquitted. But that was too

ceeded in having her son arrested again
on the charge that he had deliberately
and maliciously murdered his father.
But again a white jury in Richmond,
Va, returned q verdict of not guilty.
Shortly after Mrs. Walker had lost
her husband and had passed through
the trying ordeal of having her son
charged with murder her enemies
thought 1t would be an opportune mo-
ment to attack her. At q largely at
tended meeting in the vast auditorium
they declared that the secretary should
be removed from Office and a new leader
elected to I'LL her place. The awful
notoriety which Mrs. Walkers sons trial
on the charge of murder had brought
upon the order would do 1t incalculable
harm, they declared. Nothing that
could be said against re-electing the
secretary was omitted In the bitter
speeches delivered by those who op-
posed her. Her critics felt that they
had made a case against her so strong
that she would easily be removed from
her position Of power.

the United States to Antwerp and Rot

Lines operates between North Atlantic
ports OF the United States to Havre,
Bordeaux and Dunkirk The United
States Lines, In the event Of acquiring
these two lines, stands every chance
Of operating them successfully, for the
present organization could absorb them
without much additional overhead.
Thus for the first time in many
years private American interests have
undertaken to build up strong ship
ping service that will give the United
and freight trades of the North
Atlantic. Soon the riveting guns will
be roaring out their song Of construc-
ton and the big liners will begin to
take shape as the big steel plates are
fitted to their frames.
Not only is the big shipbuilding race
q challenge to the American Merchant
Marine, but a challenge to American
ingenuity. Needless to say, Americans
have accepted the challenge and will
enGeavor to answer 1t In the only way
they know how, and that is to give the
best that is in them.
Shipping experts. while enthusiastic
over the Bremen, point out that her
great advance in speed over that Of
the Mauritania was inevitable mas
much as the many travellers have been
demanding more speed for some time
They point out that - the Mauritania
was built more than % years ago and
that she held the record up until last
week, SO that the Bremen really repre-
sents the first important advance that
has been made by marine engineers
since that time.
On the other hand, transportation on
land has been speeded up in many d.
rections, and in view of the great i'm
provementS which have been made in
the engine building. marine experts are
of the opinion that it will be feasible
to build still faster liners than the
Bremen, Up until few years ago it
was held that efforts to develop liners
would be too costly, as the upward
curve in the cost of fuel consumption
was all out of proportion for the extra
knots sought over that figure.
Advances have been made, however,
which make possible increased horse
power without any great additional con-
sumption Of fuel. and now that marine
experts are really applying themselves
to the task, marine engines Of the. flu
ture may be developed to a point where
it will be possible to obtain the great
speed sought without too great an in
crease in fuel consumption.
The Bremen marks the third big
liner which has been constructed since
the war, the others being her sister
ship. the Europa, and the lie de France
All the other great liners. such as the
Leviathan, Majestic and Aquitania, are
of pre-war design. This Is one of the
reasons for the big shipbuilding race
that is now on. but, although 1t was
known for some time that manu- of the
companies were planning new super
liners. 1t was not believed that they
would be as fast as the speeds now
spoken Of.

forward statement Of the development
and growth of the organization during
her administration was so convincing,
so eloquent and so strong that she was
overwhelmingly reelected and has
never been attacked again from that
day to this.
Although II would be impossible to
describe In short article all the ac-
tivities in which Mrs. Walker has en-
gagged to promote the welfare Of her
race, 1t would be pity not to mention
several to which no reference has been
made. It was she who urged the order
to open factory to make clothing for
women and men, SO that employment
might be given to adults of her group
who often find 1t difiicult to secure e..
But one of the recommendations
which Mrs. Walker strongly urged the
order to adopt failed to justify her
faith in 1t and to fulfill her hopes She
believed department store owned and
operated by colored people in Richmond
was a necessity and would be a success,
so the st. Luke Emporium was estab-
lished. But lack of experience among

It would be pity also not to men,
ticn the efforts made by Mrs. Walker
to interest women in the work which
they should do to advance the interests
of their group. She is. the president
and founder of the Council of Colored
Women, which was organized in Rich
mond in 1912. It has had on its rolls
as many as 1000 women. 1t has
raised funds for the Colored Industrial
School at Peaks. Va; it has supported
a colored visiting nurse in Richmond;
it has helped to establish and MAIN
tain the community house there: it has
helped the Anti Tuberculosis Associa-
ton to establish colored sanitarium
at Burkeville, Va. and 1t has done other
charitable and relief work. Since it has
been organized the club has expended
nearly $4,000 and owns its own club

iA.aNE VEGETABLE
 FOODS DELICIOUS
Few Things Are More Im- portant Than Balanced Diet
 in Promoting Health

Cooking experts are using their ingenuity to develop delicious methods of preparing vegetables. 4 well-knovn expert furnishes us this recipe for Polish Beets:
 Peel 12 small cooked beets and mirce fine with a fork. Put in a saucepan and sprinkle with table spoon of sugar. Add a tablespoon of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of salt and pepper and heat. Melt 2 table spoons of butter and blend with it l tablespoon of flour. Stir this into tke mixture. Add F cup sour cream and heat.
 Whatever recipe you are using and whatever vegetable you are cooking, try adding a dash of sugar for new, enjoyable flavor. It is not the purpose of the sugar to make the vegetables taste sweet. Sugar brings out the delicate fla vors of the foods and blends these with the seasonings used. Sugar is the master blander and the supreme ccndiment. It is the right hand Of successful cookery.
 Serve varied, balanced diet. Serve at least two cooked vege- tables daily. Serve at least two fruits deily. See that each member of your family drinks milk and eats milk desserts. Make meats appetizing by adding a dash of sugar while the meats are cook ing. Use a dash of sugar to inn prove gravy, sauces and soups. Learn the art of serving colorful and satisfying desserts. A bit of sweet makes the meal complete. The Sugar Institute.

As Father Time slowly but gradu- ally pushes year by year into dis card and new generations spring up, new ideas and versions are created, especially in regard to the exercising of simplicity in connection with social affairs The difference in the modern day interpretation Of sim picity with that of the days 25 years ago is greatly brought out in the coming Coolidge e-Trumbull we'd ding.
 On November 2S, Governor and Mrs. John H. TrumbulI, parents of l Florence, bride-to-be, will observe the 25th anniversary of their we'd ding.

 No church bells pealed out their joyful chimes when John Trumbull took Miss Maude Pierce Usher for his bride. The ceremony was per formed in the hack parlor' of the brides home on Farmington avenue, Plainville, and only relatives and a few intimate friends of the couple were present. Outside of her
 matron of honor Mrs Trumhnll had no imposing list of bridesmaids. The reception following the we'd
 ding was of short duration, Tho
 ceremony was performed at 4
 o'clock and the couple left on a

 evening train. Thus came 10 an
 end the wedding of one of the
 states most promising m7nufac turors.
 No doubt. Florence and John
