These are among the cars for
motor ariSt0cracy.
Mr.. Akers hoped to show
George p. Marshall'S extra spe.
cial machine which is equipped
with tailOr-made body, pOrta-
BILE bar, special Pullman berth
and other accessories for COM
fort and luxury. Mr.. Marshall
had other plans. He took his
new car to Miami on Saturday.
AS near as I can discover, Al
fonsus C. Avery, Of 1916 Sixteenth
ST., was the first 1885 show Gus
toner. He came in on Saturday
morning, and Salesman H. j.
Wolf had the pleasure Of signing
him up for the Chevolet de luxe
touring sedan.
What a scramble there will be
for the low-priced championship
of 1885! In the race you are told
will be Chevrolet, Ford and Ply
mouth, with high-pressure sales
and selling campaigns at the auto
shows marking the start OF the
campaign.
All three great mass-production
cars have beautiful exhibits at
the Washington show and just a
suggestion of interest will start
well-informed demonstrating sales
men on a spiel that points out
each and every one of the myriad
improvements.
In 1884 Chevrolet, with sales Of
68O, 900 cars, was the leader. Right
behind, with $4,000 sales, was the
new Ford. The Plymouth finished
with 305,000. These three leaders
in sales in the moderate price
division expect to do at least Is
per cent better in 1885.
On Friday night Byron C. Foy,
president of the De Soto Motor
Corporation, told the Washington
Times auto banqueters that 1855
outlook was sunny bright. Mr.. Foy
is the father of the streamlined
snub-nosed aut t o m o b lie which
looks much the same in the front
as it does in the back.
An engineering genius. Mr.. Foy
discovered that his radical styled
car was perhaps too much of an
innovation in 1884 to catch hold
Immediately. However, he had the
satisfaction of seeing other max
ers copy his principles and ideas
in modified form. De Soto can
give you the restyled airflow or
an air-stream car in the popular
price class. And so can his big
brother, Chrysler.
Stuck away in the northwest
corner of the lower floor you
will find modest Bill Cummings,
the racing champion of 1894,
and the car with which he won
his title in the Indianapolis
Sweepstakes.
This little car with its big No.
7 looks like an Overgrown Christ
mas toy. You would never fig.
ure it could fly 1O4 miles an
hour around the track, at blind
ing speed. Bill Cummings is
there to tell you all about it and
to modeStly admit he was
awarded the A. A. A. champion
ship title only last week.

cial, in addition to setting the
Swiftest pace, proved definite

sued hy Professor Rayford W. Logan.
OF Atlanta University, the fraternity's
national director of education.
EDUCATION FOR CITIZENSHIP
is now the fraternity's major objective
BY citizenship is meant nothing less
than full participation everywhere by
the Negro in effective political organ
lzations, and in the holding Of elective
and appointive offices. This message
is being carried to the public through
newspapers, the radio, and mass meet
ings- Mr. Mack Spears, Kansas CITY.
Kansas, is the chairman of this phase
of the work.
Since in some sections Of the conn
try there is not yet a full realization
OF the cultural and vocational adyan-
tages Inherent in a high school and d
college education, the fraternity's ia
nous "Go-to-high-school, go-to-col-
lege" campaign is again being prose-
cuted under the direction of Dr.. John
W. Davis, Jr., Houston, Texas.
The fraternity is again awarding. as
it did in 1884, the sum Of $1,000 for
fellowships and scholarships. The
Committee on Awards, which includes
some of the races leading educators
announces that the records of the men
to whom awards were made last wear
and who are now studying at CITY
Colleges of New York, Fisk, Michigan.
and Ohio State, approach a straight

Probably the most notable activity
OF the fraternity, Professor Logan de-
clared, is its investigation Of the a r
lous New Deal agencies. A specially
engaged investigator spent several
months in the offices of every agency
in Washington gathering material to
determine the effects of these agencies
on the Negro. This report will an

Il believe, said Professor Logan.
that this is the most comprehensive
campaign ever undertaken by a fra
ternity or a sorority. / believe also
that this investigation of the Federal
Agencies, as distinguished from the
NRA, is the first made by any colored
organization. An idea Of the value Of
this investigation may be CLEANED
from the fact, revealed by the report,
that Negroes have received less than
per cent of the patronage Jobs

to1ch of justifaole pride: "That's
nothing. ! have that beat a mile"
Thereupon she showed me an adj
mirable thing of her own invention.
And tie best Of it is, it actually
works.
It, too, was a chart, a homemade
affair. First, I should say this
mother has two boys and a girl.
Her chart, hand colored, attractive
" drawn, attempted to show in
terms Of child interest, the values
Of the several essential foods. In
the left-hand column were state Z
ments such as these: "This makes
Ginning the bar easy" "This gives
speed to running" "This helps to
make graceful dancers" "This
keeps Daddy well to earn a living
for u.s." and SO on.
Opposite these we're colored
drawings. In one place there we're
four glasses Of milk; in another a
bowl of fruit; or a plate of bread
and butter. And SO it went, down
through the list of essential food
items, including meat, fish, eggs,
nuts, all kinds of vegetables, and
milk products such as cheese, ice
cream, and custards.
The chart was hung in a con-
spicuous place in the kitchen.
Sometimes the children are allowed
to select meals from the chart. At
other times, the mother points out
what she has planned for the next
meal. The object Of the game each
time is to pick out a balanced meal,
in which there is a variety but with
some item from each Of the es-
sentials.
