Rose Attends rs
Chevrolet prevlew
expsets New Models
On Displey Soon

Arthur Rose, Chevrolet dealer
In Mount Clemens, has returned
from Detroit where he attended
a preview of the new 1916
Chevrolet at the company's zone
headquarters.
He was reluctant to discuss
the mechanical and style fea-
lures of the new car, but by his
eager attitude it was apparent
that he expected the formal an
nouncement and public show
ing Of the car to be at an early
date.
Rose said he and other dealers
in the area were confident that
the 1916 Chevrolet will maintain
the record of top volume sales,
which Chevrolet reached in 10
of the last IL prewar years OF
automobile production, to meet
the unprecedented pent-up de-
mand for new cars.
G. Following the same policy ms
in former years, the new Chew
rolet will be displayed stimuli
taneously in dealers showrooms
throughout the country, Rose
said.
Local newspaper and radio
announcements will be made,
telling when prospective Gus
toners may see the new car for
the first time. These announce
ments are expected to be good
news to motorists and to dealers
alike.
Rose stressed car care, with
the warning that motorists
should not expect the 1916
Chevrolet to be available IN
great quantities Immediately
. The supply to dealers will in
crease as production in the
Chevrolet plants permits.

She made q charming appearance

possible that she was somewhat

In his portrayal Of the duke, Mr..

JUDGES ANNOUNCE THE
AINSFIELD WOLF AWARDS

The Saturday Review of Litera-
ture has announced the Anisfield
Wolf Awards for the best books
on race relations for the year 1914,
dividing the sum of $4,000 between
Miss Gwethalyn Graham, for her
novel, Earth and High Heaven,
and Gunnar Myrdal, for his book,
AN American Dilemma. The A.
ward Committee, made up of Henry
Seidel Candy, Henry P. Fairchild,
and Ralph Linton, issued the follow
ing statement in connection with
this years selections.
The level of competition this
year was high, and the judges feel
well satisfied to have been able to
hoose two such excellent books,
n in the field of creative litera-
ture, and one in science.
Miss Graham's novel is one of
the most sensitive and penetrating
studies of the social relations be-
tween Jews and Christians in a
long established Anglo-Saxon COM
munity that has been written in our
times. 1t is a study of prejudice
encountered and prejudice over
come in the city of Montreal, where
French Canadians, Scotch-English,
Canadians, and Jewish Canadians,
all come in contact in a social, in
tellectual and business life in the
city. Not only is this book an ex-
aa1laat ctndxr nf IVannAfan ss.niaI 70
lations, it is an admirable novel ana
must be thought of first of all for
its brilliant pictures of personality
and it's excellent art. especially the
art of dialogue. 1t is certainly one
of the best novels to be written in
Canada.
AN American Dilemma by Gun
a Myrdal, is the most comprehen-
sive and penetrating scholarly
study of the Negro in the United
Statesand the related problems that
has yet been presented. AS sug-
gested by the subtitle, The Negro
Problem and Modern Democracy,
the author faces squarely the con-
flict between The American Creeu'
of brotherhood, equality ard free
dom and the actual practice OF SOC
iety in dealing with this important
minoritygroup. AS a foreigner, the
author brings a fresh and objective
viewpoint to his task, but through
out the book he displays 4 shrewd
and sympathetic understanding of
the considerations and circumstanc-
es hat affect the attitudes of var
ious elements of the American pub
lie, and contribute to the creation
of a genuine dilemma The study
was carried out under the auspices
of the Carnegie Corporation, and
Professor Myrdal was assisted by
a staff of able experts"
