This World
A BANK FAILS
LAWYERS
Cecil E. Newman

It is with deep regret that we note
the closing of the Douglass National
Bank, Chicago, one of the two national
banks conducted solely by Negroes in
the country. We feel that the closing
was fastened, yes, even forced by the
forces opposed to Anthony Overton
in the Victory Life Insurance mix-up.
Of course the fact that the country is
in deplorable condition and the Chi
cago 'black belt" had already gone
through three bank closings were con-
tributing factors; but the insistence OF
enemies of Overton are, we believe,
largely to blame for the fall of the
bank. In times of stress all good
sailors stand by. Rats leave ships
and SO do craven sailors. All of those
men who Overton's ambition and ener-
gy created jobs for who repaid him
by attempts to wreck his organlza-
ton belong in one of the aforemen-
toned classes.
Advertising calendars and bulletins
usually have thoughtful gems that re-
main with one. On calendar ina
Jail (of all places), we found this,
'sThe man who rises without pulling
others down usually pulls others up
with him."
Al check up of the courts in Henne-
pin county revealed large number
of Negro clients being represented by
white counsel in cases in all courts.
In our opinion the average colored
client can better be served by an at
torney of his own race. There are
many fine white lawyers who will do
all possible for any client of any race
or color but it stands to reason that
the Negro lawyer with full knowledge
and sympathy with the problems of
Negro clients are better able to rep
resent them.
We believe it to be a fact that a
Negro represented by an attorney OF
his own color has better chance in
the courts than one represented by
white counsel whose only apparent in
terest is that of the fee.
A great number of harsh things
are said every day about Twin City
Negro attorneys but in our opinion
we have a fine group of barristers.
Some of our people seem to think that
because a lawyer represents the side
of case opposed to his that he is
personal enemy. A bitter denuncia-
ton of St. Paul lawyer by friend
of mine made me anxious to know just
what was back of my friends dislike
for the attorney in question. After
some questioning, my friend blurted
out, "The dirty scoundrel represented
my wife in her divorce action against
mel"
Similar foolish attitudes are re-
sponsible for the numerous knocks
against our local legal fraternity
Sensible people will give no credence
to such unfair tommy-rot.
From Our Note Book: In our
opinion an excessive amount OF
Bridge, Whist or all card playing for
that part is crying waste of time
when there are so many more protlt-
able and needed things to do in this
world. Thousands of people enjoy it tho
so l must be the person out of step.

possibilities of style and appearance
in an automobile. This awakening
of beauty appreciation was led
largely by Hupmobile's original GEN.
fury model.
In 1882 history is repeating itself
with regard to Hupmobile. The
statement is vouched for by many
who have viewed the new Hupmo-
bile creations at the automobile
shows.
Hupmobile has named its 1882
product "a New Car for a New
Age" How aptly this title suits
these cars is evidenced by the
crowds that are drawn to Hupmo-
bile'S display booth. Automobile
show visitors are shrewd, canny
critics. They know value when they
see it. And they've found it in the
new Hupmobiles. These critics APP
preciate Hupmobile's economy with

models every new invention and in

safety, comfort and convenience
without an increase in price. 1t has
brought a new Interpretation of
graceful lowness without the sacri-
flee of headroom and road clear

HUP MOBILE ON
WAY TO ADDED
MOTOR GLORY
1882 Models Remind Public
of Advance Maintained
by Manufacturer.

History has a curious way of re-
peating itself. Past situations sud-
denly re-appear under new condi-
tions-Seemingly creating new prob
lens and apparently establishing
new precedents.
This cycle of occurrences is just
as applicable to the motor industry
as to history itself. A cursory ex-
animation of this years motor offer
ingS proves the truth of this asser-
ton.
Back in 1923 every one interested
in motor cars suddenly became
aware of new trend in automotive
design. A new conception of beauty
and appearance had come into its
own-a fuller realization of the

Extreme lowness of the bodies

ity show, maximum reliability,
minimum side-sway, easy handling,
and a close hugging Of the road in
these new Dodge Fights.
Close inspection of the interiors
shows them to be complete in every
detail.
Many of the mcst attractive pat
terms and shades of Bedford cord
or mohair have been selected for
the upholstering and trim Of the
new Dodge Fights. Seat cushions
are of the Turkish pleated type.
Two interior adjustable sun viSors
protect front seat passengers
against the glare of the sun and
binding headlights. Rubber mats
with insulating felt pad underneath
cover the floors of all front COM
partments, with carpets and felt
pads for the rear compartments.
There has been no fundamental
change in engine Gesign or con-
struction except the floating power
method of mounting in the frame.
Cylinders are of the L-head type,
cast en- bloc and integral with the
crankcase.
The new six is built in four beau
tiful body styles-the flve-paSSenger

seat and convertible coupe, ranging
from a new low price of $795. to

Plymouth
Roadster First Vehicle to
Cross Mountain Trail
in Carolina.

Plymouth is the only low-cost car
with safety-steel body, floating
power, free wheeling, ease-shift
transmission, double-drop frame and
hydraulic brakes.
A Plymouth roadster was the first
four wheel vehicle to cross the In
dian Gap trail in the Smoky noun
tains of North Carolina. A. H. Hoff,
proprietor of the Mountain View
hotel, Smokemont, made the trip
in four hours and forty-five minutes
from Catlinburg, Tenn, to Smoke
mont distance of twenty-four
miles, ten of which had never be-
fore been Travelled except on foot or
by horseback. The mountain at
this spot is $500 feet high.
All closed models are factory
wired for the immediate instalIa-
ton of radio at no additional cost.
Every motor that is constructed
in the plant in Detroit is tested for
two hours under it's own power be-
fore it is put into the chassis, ac-
cording to H. E. Heath, director of
service. During the first test on
running in" period, the motors are
operated without load. This is
followed by dynamometer test
where the motors must develop their
rated power under a load.
The final assembly lines at the
plant are straight, unbroken lines
more than 1900 feet in length.
Several small trains of six cars
each travel through the plant each
day at noon carrying lunches to
the thousands of men employed
throughout that huge factory.
There are 1884 different ma
chimes in operation in the plant and
each machine is operated by it's
own electric motor" says P. C. Sau-
erbrey, president in charge of
manufacturing

The strength of floating power rub
Der engine mOuntings has been test
ed repeatedly in numerous ways. In
one test a tractor pulled a loaded

The Lee Vibrecorder, an instru-
ment which senses and records the
slightest vibrations, was recently
used in test of the floating power.
1t showed complete freedom from

The round-trip transcontinentaI

recently by L. B. Miller, 81, in the
remarkable time of 1872 hours and
nine minutes, was a triumph of

 Thank you. nothing" said with difficulty. Just an attack. We'll talk 1t over presently. Now ... Il am tired out. -" Martin slipped out of the door. He was exasperated. It had now become a fixed idea with him that he must have fifty-two schillings. and he went in pursuit of them with a blind and reckless obstin- acy. He found Puck in the orchard, where in the last moments of dusk she was crouching among the bush es picking entrants.
 Puck, fvge got something ser- ious to say to you Martin said as he led her to a seat. Are we friends, you and IF"
 "Yes," Puck said. and she put her hands hands expectantly in her lap.
 If wanted anything, wouldn't you. Puck? Otherwise l shouldn't ask you. It isn't at all easy. ..." Mar tin said. He picked up a glowworm out of the grass and put 1t on his hand, where 1t shone like a deli- cate green miniature lantern.
 Just tell me-" Puck whispered. Martin could hear her breath come and go.
 "Tm in great trouble, you see. Puck"
 "Yes," said Puck, in a dry little voice. She waited moment long, CT, and then with both hands in front of her face she began to cry. She cried in a way the astonished ] Martin had never seen befOre-soft- ly and quietly and unresetrainedly the tears streamed and streamed in- to her hands like g. summer rain, with no apparent pain or effort. When she took her hands from her face she was already smiling again, as Martin saw in the glowworm's light.
 "It's because you're fond of an- other girlf" Puck said finally. in a barely audible voice.
 l WnaLB tHdI why uO yOu cdy another girl?" asked Martin. Puck touched his heart; sch was very dear to him as she sat there. He drew her to him and laying both hands on her shoulders showered light, soft, tender kisses on her face while she sat motionless with wide-open eyes Martin was touch- ed and sofeened. But there was no- thing to be gained from all that. He put Puck beside him again and said outright: 1T want money, Puck"
 How much?" asked Puck sim ply. ..,
 "Fifty-two schillings-or even fifty-three," Martin answered. and his chest expanded as he took in a full deep breath.
 '!You shall have 1t at once." said Puck and she jumped up and ran into Ihe house. Martin hurried af- ter her. His heart was beating now. Overhead there was murmur of voices. Then Puck came running down the stairs.
