No Politics In Relief?
WASHINGTON Feb

The pretcnsc that politics does not
enter into the expenditures Of the
relief funds grows thinner all the
time. 1t is not merely that the bulk
of the WPA State directors have been
| named on the recommendation of the
Democratic Senators and bosses, such
as Frank Hague in New Jersey and
| Tom Prendegast in Missouri, but that
the appeals for the money itself are
| often put on frankest political
grounds.
| Mr.. Harry Hopkins, impulsive head
Of the organization who thinks people
Gust too damned dumb" to under
stand, can deny this until he is blue
in the face, but the fact remains and
the evidence is overwhelming. No
amount of self-eulogy or Presidential
coEsmendation of the nobility of his
work and the magnificent results
achieved alter the realities. One of
these is that, despite the lofty plane
upon which Mr.. Hopkins does his
talking, delegations of Democrats in
Congress apparently have no hesita-
ton whatever in urging not only upon
him but upon Mr.. Farley, the great
name caller, and even upon the Presi-
dent himself, the political advantages
| of increased relief appropriations in
certain sections.
Recalling the solemn assurance of
Mr.. Roosevelt last year that politics
in no way should touch the distribu-
ton Of the great fund placed in his
hands, one would think no member
of Congress would dare suggest the
use of a nickel for political purposes.
The mere hint Of such a thing should
bring down upon them the Jovian
wrath of the President. Yet they do
far more than hint. They go so far as
to take it for granted that politics
plays its part in relief as it does in
the other New Deal activities.
1t seems impossible to more strik-
ingly present the situation than by
quoting from the Mcintosh Democrat,
of Oklahoma. The Mcintosh Democrat
is strong supporter of Mr.. Roose-
welt and the new Deal. 1t calls itself
Eastern Oklahoma's Greatest Week
ly." In its issue of January 9, under
the heading "Nichols Seeks More
WPA Aid In State" it carries the fol-
lowing article on it's first page:
Hope for additional WPA funds
for Oklahoma frightened Monday as
the Oklahoma Congressional delega-
ton decided to call on the President,
James A. Farley, patronage chief, and
Harry Hopkins, WPA Administrator,

ton was taken by the delegation af-
ter Congressman Jack Nichols, of the
Second district, cited complaints made
to him about the hiring of some Re-
publicans to minor offices in the WPA
set-up in his district. With the I'M
announced intention of pointing out
to the President and Farley, if not
i Hopkins, that additional funds are
needed if Oklahoma is to be kept in
the Democratic column the delegation
decided to clean up all complaints at
the same time.

Greenstein. l can say the environ
ment of some of our families is indeed
pitiful.
Let me take you to one of the small,
unsanitary log huts in the almost in
accessible mountainous sections of our
county. You may have to walk, as the
roads will not permit travel in a mod
ern vehicle. Upon entering the hut you
meet with the undesirable scene OF
pigs, chickens, dogs and children hud-
died together in one room around and
under make-believe stove constructed
of an empty gasoline drum or discard
ed carbide can, and in the other room
of our typical log hut of two rooms
for family of six or seven children
and the grief stricken parents, we see
bed spring on the bare wooden floor
placed in one corner of the scantily
furnished room.
The covering for this bed is not
luxurious array of linens on a COM
Portable felt or cotton mattress, but
strips of burlap and much used oil
cloth from the crudely constructed
table in the first room where the stove
is located. For covers the mother tells
you: "My man amt got no work an
we'uns amt 'ardly able to git nuthin'
to eat, n fer covers we use what coats
n sweaters we ave n whatever we kin
git, but the little uns git awful cold
sometimes"
That was last Autumn. I am one
who can believe that those children
are not warm now, because l have
seen.
What does fate and destiny hold for
these children? What chance have they
in life?
Finally and conclusively, let me re-
mind you that the report of the Sena-
tor Friend committee has made the
gross and grievous error Of failure to
see that all our great human prob
lens are as so many links in chain.
Every problem affects, OF is affected,
by other problems. No man liveth unto
himself. AS the Alpine tourist is borne
up by the rope that is bound to others
in his party and thus saved from fall
ing, so human society is in like respect
bound to extend the helping hand to
those who lose their footing.
For our pioneer political Relief in
vestigators to accomplish much, they
would need to ask their Maker to di-
rect their efforts to the various chan
nels of usefulness and unselfshness,
to blaze the paths for others to walk
in. This trait is sometimes inherited,
more often acquired, and it means
better men and women, better condi-
tons, better homes, better things ev-
erywhere in life. These are the traits
of character expected and demanded
by the people from the men whom they
choose as leaders.
There is no form of optimism as
shallow as that sickly sentimentalism
that blinds one to the truth concerning
his relationship to God and his fellow
men, because that kind of optimism
is worse than cynicism-it is hypocrit-
ical, fanatical and tyrnnalical.

WOMEN INFLUENCE
NEW CARS STYLES
Abolition of Starting Crank
Marked Beginning of
Changes.
BY A. VAN DER ZEE.

General Sales Manager si1al I'D Dodge DIVISION
One who has attended automobile
shows for many years and has had fair
chances to analyze the mass interest
of great crowds of visitors, is bound to
be impressed by the alertness with
which the American woman follows
automobile development ard becomes
a controlling factor in the purchase
of the family car.
This manifestation Is Of relatively
recent origin and was brought about
chiefly, think, by the success with
which the motor car itself was i'm
proved to the point where its operation
no longer called for physical stamina
of the masculine type. The day that
saw the abolition of the starting crank
also marked the emancipation Of
woman from the back seat.
One of the things that give woman
a voice and often the vote in the
choice of the new model is her more
intimate understanding of such mat
ters as style, upholstery, seating COM
fort and colors. The present trend, in
furniture, clothing, home decorations,
ETC., is the expression of an aroused
color consciousness, particularly on
the part of women. To woman's reali-
zation that well selected colors please
the eye, manufacturers and merchants
added the observation that colors also
make goods more attractive to buyers.
The invention of new lacquers and
new finishing methods, enabling buy
ers to choose their car colors almost
with the freedom with which they
might pick the colors of suit, dress,
hat or scarf, has done good deal to
arouse active automobile driving and
buying interest in women.
Many of the driving refinements and
not a few of the safety features now
accepted as standard were introduced
through the good taste and insistence
of woman, since she became the full
fiedged driver.

BIC DEVELOPMENT

Industry Still Young and
Vigorous, With Best
Years Ahead.
BY A. z. BART.

president HUDSON motor Car Co.
Perhaps the greatest reason for the
fact that the automobile industry Is
outstanding among those which are
enjoying the greatest measure Of re-
covery is the fact that 1t did, during
the height of the depression period,
so refine and improve its products
that the appeal to the purchaser has
been irresistible.
1t is not many years ago that base
price of less than $500 on a 100
horsepower automobile would have
seemed beyond the greatest expecta-
ton of either the automobile engi-
neer or the public. Yet today such a
car is available, and not only has it
the power and performance, but in
appearance, appointments and roomi-
ness it is more than the equal of cars
selling in the upper price ranges Just
few years back.
1t is encouraging to realize the re-
ward for those courageous eXpendi-
lures which were made at time
when the financial horizon through
out this country and the rest Of the
world was far from clear. Such ex-
penditures, however, were made In the
light of a realization that the greatest
period of the automobile industry Is
still to come. We are still on the
threshold Of this big development
The industry is still young and vigor-
Gus, with its greatest achievement

MODERN STEERING EASE

Speed.

The ease with which modern cars
can be steered is a pitfall for the un-
wary. If you can get out of a park
ing space with no thought for the
usual effort involved, remember that
you can go on the road just as easily.
The mad race for speed records is de-
pendent for its success upon scien-
tihcally straight-line steering, any
slight deviation resulting in disaster
At modern road speeds no driver
today can afford to indulge in more
than slight movements of the wheel.
The latest type of steering provides
varying ratios for parking and

'CHRYSLER CITES
TRADES ADVANCE
Expenditures for Research
and improvements Are
Listed.

In response to inquiries, Walter p.
Chrysler, chairman of the board OF
Chrysler Corp, issued the following
statement:
"No other major industry expends
10 much time and effort in research,
makes such large investments IN bet
ter means of production and is so
ready to improve its handiwork as the
automobile industry. Our social and
economic life would not be what it Is
today if automobile men had ever
been satisfied with their achieve
ments. During the whole evolution OF
the motor car, from the horseless car
riage to the airflow marvels OF today,
improvements have been at rate
and with a persistence for which his
tory has no parallel.
ct have never been more optimistic
about the automobile industry than I
am today. Automobile transportation
Is now a necessity. Automobile de-
signing, manufacturing and selling Is
in the hands of forward-looking, ca
pable men, and believe they are
competent to handle their problems
and opportunities with very high re-
gard for the public interest and safety,
as well as the needs of their CUSTOM
erS.
Because the substantial shortage
Of passenger car and truck transpor-
tation accumulated during the recent
depression has not yet been replen-
ished, because more and more people
are becoming dependent on individ-
ual means of transportation, because
the continual improvement of roads
and highways opens new markets for
automobiles and trucks and because
people generally have more money to
spend than they did few years ago,
the market for cars and trucks should
continue to make good business.
"The automobile industry has fore
sightedly prepared for this growing
market by investing, during the first
nine months of this year, more money
than it has expended for similar pur-
poses in very long time. Many new
plants have been built and equipped.
Obsolete machinery has been replaced.
Manufacturing methods, working con-
ditions and employment conditions
have been improved"

CAR OFFICIAL SAYS'
INDEPENDENT SAFE.
Purchase Large Enough to
Obtain Competitive Prices,
He States.
BY PAUL G. HOFFMAN,
President, the Studebaker Corp.

Competitive engineering, sound
manufa cturing policies and economi-
cal distribution make 1t possible for
the independent automobile producer
in America to claim full share OF
the motor market. This has been true
in the past; it's true now. 1t will be
true In the future.
That's my answer to the oft-asked
question, What Is going to happen
To the independent company" The
independent producer recognizes that
larger combines and companies pos
sess obvious advantages. Their nu-
merous cars naturally dominate the
buyers shopping list. Yet the small
company asks no quarter and gives
none, offsetting this advantage simply
by attempting to make a better au-
tomobile at the same or lower price.
The first requirement is competi-
tive engineering. The independent
manufacturer must contribute more
than his proportionate share Of en-
cheering advancements. Such COM
petitive engineering Is possible be-
cause no company, no matter how
large. Is able to obtain monopoly on
brains.
The popular notion that independ-
ent companies are at q disadvantage
In buying materials Is entirely wrong
We will spend more than $40, ,000. 900
in 1887 and any idea that this volume
Of purchases will not secure us COM
petitive prices Is incorrect.
Any independent company operat-
ing on this basis is bound to get q
good share Of the worlds business
and make money. That's why I say
1.-The independent will always be with
U.s."

DRIVER SHOULD TEST
CARS BREAKING POWER
Autos, Even With Good Brakes,
Vary in Declaration,
Experts Say.

More and more motorists are COM
ing to the conclusion that the safe
speed limit of their cars is regulated
in accordance with their stopping
ability. This ability, however, is not
entirely a matter of brakes. Some
cars with splendid braking systems
lack balance and poise during sharp
deceleration, becoming difficult to
manage as a consequence. 1t is a
good idea to try out the car for its
behavior when the brakes are applied
forcibly, doing this first when the road
Is dry. Later when becoming more
familiar with the car it would be well
to try its stopping performance on
wet road. Tests should be made when
the car is well loaded as well as when
the driver is alone. This will pro-
vide him with q valuable conception Of
what to expect when, and If, he must
stop suddenly. The behavior of most
cars under such conditions is such
as to suggest driving more slowly,
especially If the roads are not level
or straight.

compression ratio of 67 to /, develops
81 horsepower. There are two models
In the business series, while in the de
luxe series there are six models with
base price Of S575. All include safety
glass throughout at no extra cost.
Most obvious change externally in
the 1887 Plymouth is the tear-drop
radiator with grille employing vertical
chrome bars on each side of center
strip done in body color. Deeper hood
louvres are surrounded by flare in
the body color which sweeps back to
the wider cowling. Front seats have
been widened inches. Airflow backs
complete the external picture, not to
mention the one-piece steel roof and
the clear-vision butterfly vanes in the
front windows Of the de luxe models.
There are no metal holdings when
the rear section of the windows is
dropped.
Mechanical advances include the
new rubber-poise mountings which
"pillow" the body on cushion of live
rubber, thus eliminating metal-to-
metal contact. Another is the use of
a front axle sway eliminator. BY re-
ducing the kingpin angle and by max
ing other detailed changes in steering
the normal tendency of car to wan
der and stray is reduced. Airplane-
type shock absorbers operating with
five times the usual amount of fluid,
and direct acting in their operation,
are featured on the 1887 PlymouthS.
The car has been designed with special
safety interiors. The switch key and
all protusions are recessed. Even the
windshield wiper control buttons are
of soft rubber.
