PIERCE ARROW
HAS ) MODELS

Rejecting the influence Of the
streamline design advanced in its
sensational Silver Arrow a year
ago, Pierce Arrow presents at the
1884 auto show an extended line
Of new models comprising three
distinct groups, two twelves and
an eight.
The new models, in body design,
range all the way from the highly
Streamlined Silver Arrow to the
more conventional sedans and
lmouSineS.

NEW CHRYSLER
OUTSTANDING

On the tenth anniversary Of the
Chrysler cars the Chrysler Sales
Corporation presents at the auto
show for the first time a series Of
new Chryslers that are even more
outstanding today among motor
cars than was the original Chrys-
ler of a decade ago-Airflow
Chryslers are eight-cylinder cars
of new kind.
Nothing in appearance like
these new ChrySlers has previously
existed. For more than five years
Chrysler engineers have wreStled
with the basic problems of weight
distribution in the old-faShioned
cars. Their research led them to
the discovery of the principles OF
dynamic balance throughout the
motor car.
The result is the floating ride"
which enables occupants Of an
Airflow Chrysler to ride at 70 to
80 miles an hour over dirt roads,
corrugated gravel, macadam, cob
blestones, concrete or asphalt In
perfect relaxation.
|, Pitching Ruled Out
For example, rear seat passen-
gers ride 20 inches in front OF
the rear axle instead of over it
as had been the practice hereto
fore. In the old design, the en-
CINE was behind the front axle;
in the new Chryslers, this mass
weight is over the front axle. This
distribution of weight eliminates
pitching.
In appearance the cars are the
most perfectly streamlined yet to
be produced. Gone is the con-
ventional radiator appearance. In
stead, the radiator shell is a
smoothly rounded curve which
flows gently and sleekly into the
windshield line and to the roof.
The roof in turn slopes gently
backward and down to a smoothly
and beautifully moulded rear line
which tends to eliminate the vac
uum caused by previous designs
that held back the car.
A Complete Unit
The entire constructive of the
Airflow Chrysler bodies is one
complete unit of steel from front
end to rear. It is therefore pos
Sible to incorporate a truss type
of construction which runs from
the front of the car to the rear.
The bodies themselves are larger.
The front seat as well as the rear
is roomy enough for three large
persons without croWding.
Seats and interiors are fash
ioned in rich long wearing Bed
ford cord piped with genuine
leather and the flash Of chro-
MUM in the seat frame gives
pleasing modern note to the whole
interior The doors are wider.
Three New Models
Chrysler's steering gear is in
front of the axle where axle move
ment cannot impede or affect
steering. Placing it forward also
makes possible the comfortable
rakish angle of the steering wheel.
At the automobile show Chrys-
ler is announcing three new Air
flow models, the Eight, the I'm
perial and Custom Imperial. The
Imperial is overall in length 214
inches and is powered by a motor
Of 100 horsepower.
Besides the Airflow eight-cyl-
inder models the Chrysler line for
1884 will contain a six-cylinder car
built on two wheel bases; one of
118 inches and the other 121
inches, powered by a SO horse
power engine.

THE EVIL OF RACE HATRED

There is growing spirit of class antagonsm and
racial and religious hatred in parts OF the world TO-
day is the wrong spirit and if persisted in by the var
nations political organizations and religious sects 1t
will be long before civilization will be faced with an
other world conflict with and nations cutchlng at
each others throats.
Racial and national hatreds always harmful and
should never ne famed and kept alive by propaganda
and hymns of hate
In recent address at the annual luncheon meeting
of the Women's National Democratic Club Inc. in New
York City, Louis Faulkner, Deputy City Chamberlain
warned his audience against the antisocial organizations
which attempting to spread and creed hatred,
under the guise of patriotism.
Individuals organizations that preach the doc
trnes of racial hate unAmerican To hate man,
simply because he happens to be Negro, japanese,
Jew or Catholic, is cowardy. Such hareds based
fear fear of economic competition fear of relig
ious domination - fear of political equality.
Racial and religious hatred does not pay 1t poisons
souls and limits the power of those who hate and
leads to all forms of injustice, inhumany, and crime

Our house is growing more and
more interesting every day. We are
constantly finding something TO en-
gage our thinking. IL appears that
We have a great many fine people
living right among us with whom
we have only kept on speaking
terms but have never taken the
time TO visit their rooms.
We have developed the habit OF
staying in our own room attending
to our business or we had any and
leaving everybody else alone.
We are visiting now and II is
certainly fine to know the great
surprises we are getting by just
dropping in and having a little
chat with some who are living I'M
der the same roof with us. Suppose
you go along with us and let us
show you. Ii will all be within our
House" and you need not take time
TO put on any extra clothes. Just
come as you are and we promise
you that you will have the time OF
your life.
The room we visit today has on
its door this significant sign "City
Cab" Cherry 1910. We will find the
folks there beyond doubt for 1t APP
pears that this crowd always has
someone that never goes to bed.
Don't be surprised when you find
il just little crowded for there are
g. people living and working in
this one room; 90 very fine men
and three most excellent young
women all working hard and
making a living.
Five years has, passed since
these people moved in this room.
They were led by Newton Dolphin
and all OF them have come into this
room on his invitation until now II
is one great family aud the big
thing about il is that they never
have fight All OF their next door

these cabs must be serviced so they
have TO have mechanics. So there
are eight men that must sell the
gas and oil and keep up the repairs
And then this Is not all-there
must be an office, with complete
set up of records and files etc.. so
they have three young women to
answer calls and keep the books.
Now don't get confused as you
see three partitions in this one
room, for after all II is only one
room, but this crowd you remember
we told you. is a smart one so they
put these partitions up and behind
them they have set up three dis
tinct companies. One they call City
Cab" the next City Service and
the last "Usgopod." the cab COM
pany furnishes transportation for
the public at a reasonable charge.
the Service Co. makes repairs and
furnishes oil and gas TO all OF these
cabs. and 10 the public as well. The
Usgopod Co. furnishes the capital
to keep the whole thing going. But

YOU will find that the same bunch

vice. don't go behind any one oil
those partitions and talk about any
of the others, for they will certainly

WANTED: MORE NEG q
REGIMENTS

The War Department Is making
an increase in the United States
Army which is held TO be below
strength. Others in authority are
supporting this demand.
The War Department can start
in with the cath and 25th Infantry
and the 9th and 10th Cavalry, take
them off service as servants and
bring them up to full strength as
combat units. The Gath Infantry
should be brought out of exile at
III. Benning. Ga, whence II was
sent as punishment for the Hous-
ton, Texas mutiny in 1917. The
two Negro cavalry regiments
should be recognized and put back
into active duty as soldiers in
stead of servants.
More than this, II the United
States Army Is TO be enlarged, we
urge that the increase be in Negro
regiments and special units. We
urge that a complete Negro com
bat division be formed; infantry.
cavalry, signal troops, medical
units. engineers. Artillery, tank
corps. etc. and that special efforts
be made to train Negro officers.
Here in Pennsylvania, a law
was passed providing Negro

ments were formed by special act
Of Congress, Negroes previously
having been barred from the U. S.
Army except during war time
when they were always gladly ac-
cepted to stop enemy bullets. The

refused to enlist Negroes in any

Because Judge James Il. Horton'
Athens, Ala, refused to be a party
to the legal lynching Of the nine
Scottsboro boys, an attempt Is be-
ing made by certain political in
fiuences followed by the hill-bil
lies of his judicial district to de-
feat him for reelection. IL this
despicable effort succeeds 1t will
be a sad reflection on the intelli-
gence OF Alabama and will be
further proof that the tenure OF
Office of no Judge is safe in that
state whose decisions run counter
to the spirit Of the lynchers.
Had Judge Horton permitted
those innocent boys to have been
murdered by judicial process he
would have been reelected by ac-
clamation. but because he sought
to give his state at the trial some
semblance OF responsibility the
followers OF the lynch spirit are
now seeking to destroy him. II the
courts in this country are TO be
forced to follow the unholy opin-
ion OF muderers, lynchers, peon-
age farm owners and rapists. then
the rights of every citizen are in
jeopardy
1t is to be hoped that the we'll
thinking people of his district
land there are many will use ev-
cry honorable method to prevent
this disgrace both to the man and
to the state. There are already too
many rotten boroughs securely
planted in judicial power in this
country without seeking to drag in
other honorable men who are try
ing to uphold the integrity of the
courts.
The rights OF no citizen can be
considered secure if judges in or
der TO maintain their positions
are compelled by vicious inhu-
enccs TO disavow their oaths OF
Office in order TO bring about their
reelection. If the courts are to be
made the victims OF unsettled
opinion motivated by the power OF
the lyncher's vote, then our pres
ent-day civilization is receding to
the doubtful recesses of the dark
