Power is the term in which the Chevrolet is described as a real car. In our community there is a distinct need for a good car that will come thru the hardest strain and give the maximum of service at lowest cost. Our local dealers decided that there was only one car on the market that would satisfy that demand. Hence, as proof of that, the Chevrolet is one of the most popular cars in this section. We cannot help but believe that it is endurance by which we measure a car. There are few among us that can afford a new’ car evrey year. We know the tremendous amount of depreciation in a new car in a single year. Yet, when we look at the wonderful strides /nade by the Chevrolet Motor Company in cutting down that worst of cost to the car owner we cannot help but see that this car is truly a real car. We do not stop to think it is the only standard equipped gear shift car on the market for the money.

CHICAGO’S FIRST COLORED JUDGE HEARS CIVIL SUITS AND DECIDES QUICKLY. 'Chicago Jan. 6.—Albert B. George, Chicago’s first colored judge, spent his first day in the Municipal court bench handing down decisions with the stern demeanor and yet easy hearing of a jurist of many year’s experience. “Like it?” he replied to a question. “Well, I haven’t been here long, but T know I’m going to like it. It’s not a job—this being a judge; it’s a mission and I’m going to do my best to carry out the mission assigned to me.”

The greatest feature in any motor and the one thing that will commend itself more to the motorist is the economy in operation.

Trade Balance! Teriu "trade balance” applies to the difference between the values of exports and Imports. The balance of trade Is In favor of the United States when this country has exported more than it has imported. This difference was formerly measured roughly by the outflow or Inflow of precious i metals in settlement of accounts. Many factors enter into analyses of modern trade relations and only broad I general tendencies can be indicated in । discussion of trade balaxces.

KODAK KING ’ GIVES HIS REM I PHILANTHROPIST TELLS WHY HE CLASSIFIED DONATIONS TO SCHOOLS I I (Chicago Defender.) Rochester, N. Y.—Curiosity on the part of hundreds of people over the । : choice of the philanthropist in pick- 1 ing the institutions to whom he ’ should donate has brought from i George Eastman, president of the' Eastman Kodak company, whose $15,000,000 gift was recently announced, reasons of why the donations were made. The huge gift was made through the stock investments of the millionaire kodak king. Mr. Eastman explains that his rea- 1 ■ sons for giving to educational institutions is that they stand when even governments fall and the progress of the work! depends on them. “But why select a limited number or certain ones?" was the question which still puzzled the inquirers. “The reason I selected a limited • number of institutions was that I wanted to cover certain kinds of eduI cation and felt that I could get results with the institutions named more quickly and directly than if the money was spread. Under the best conditions it takes considerable lime, sometimes years, to develop the wise expenditure of money in any line, no matter how well prepared one may be. I am now upward of 70 years of age and feel that I would like to see results from this money within the natural term of my remaining years. “As to Rochester, the town in w inch I am interested above all others, we are all set now to develop our university on the broadest lines and make it one of the outstanding universities in the country.” “The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is one of the greatest i schools of its kind in the world,” was • Mr. Eastman’s simple explanation of the reason why technical education hail been chosen as one of the three objects of his beneficence. The Hampton Tuskegee Offer. i There remained the question as to the motives that led Mr. Eastman to offer $2,000,000 to Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes—the largest single sum ever given to the cause of the education of our people. Why should he have considered these schools of equal importance in American life to the University of Rochester and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology? His answer was clear and con- . cise. “Almost the entire attention of educators,” he said, “has thus far been devoted to the while race. But we have* more than 10 per cent Negro population in the United States. Most of these people are densely ignorant. They constitute what is known as the Negro problem. “The only hope of the Negro Race and the settlement of this problem is through proper education of the Hampton-Tuskegee type, which is directed almost wholly toward making them* useful citizens through educaj tion along industrial lines. “These two institutions are no • longer experiments. Through many j years of trial they have proved their ' ability to turn out men and women who nearly always go back to their 1 homes and serve as centers of influ- ■ ence for better living. The amount i of work that these institutions have been able to do in proportion to their field is small. They need a lot more money than I have offered them and I hope that others will realize their importance and deal liberally with I them. They have strong boards of ' trustees. This fact insures the wise I expenditure of their money.” Belief, then, that the American Race problem can be solved through the Hampton-Tuskegee type of education was the main reason for Mr. Eastman’s gift to the tw’o schools. His remark on their ability to train our young men and women to be community leaders and teachers recalls the history of Hampton and । Tuskegee. The two institutions represent the growth of an idea, w’hich was put in;tc execution at the end of the Civil war by General Samuel Chapman Armstrong. General Armstrong believed that ony through education could our group, newly emancipated, be fitted for citizenship in a democracy. Not education in general, but a type of training that would prepare our youth of both sexes for the actual business of living. How the Two Schools Were Founded. I General Armstrong was the leader of Race troops in the Civil w’ar. At the end of the conflict he became an agent of the newly established Freedman’s bureau and took over the administration of the fifth subdistrict of Virginia, covering 10 counties, with headquarters at Hampton. He became responsible for 10,000 “human I contraband.” । Their misery and helplessness made I him decide to venture upon a unique [experiment. In 1868 he founded ■ Hampton institute. His venture was Iso successful that in 1880 he was ■ asked to recommend a man to direct . a similar school at Tuskegee, Ala. He ! recommended Booker T. Washington, who had been a student and instructor at Hampton and w’as destined to become Armstrong’s first great disciple. Washington established Tuskegee institute in 1881. He started the; school in a one-room shanty, with 15 Dunils ami two instructors. Today Tuskegee has 2.640 students, about 125 buildings and 2,11 1 acres of land. The idea w’hich led to the founding of the two schools has become known) as the “Hampton-Tuskegee idea.” “Training by doing” is the keynote. The students construct houses and other buildings in connection with

the courses in carpentry, bricklaying, plastering, painting, steamfitting and 1 plumbing. The farm courses aim to turn out men who can handle and teach every detail of farm work. Women students are taught to be good housewives, and even the academic courses are closely correlated to practical affairs. Finally, every’ student is trained to teach the subjects j that he studies, so that upon graduation he will by his example, be a , force in raising the economic social I and moral status of his people. NEW YORK SOCIETY FAVORITE KILLED BY JEALOUS LOVER New York, Jan. 9.—A member of j one of Brooklyn’s oldest families and t admired for her beauty in the social sets of both Brooklyn and New York, ; Miss Ethel Tobias, 32, became the vic- । tim Thursday of a New Year’s day . shooting, in which jealously’ and । moonshine are said to have played equal parts. A sweetheart of Miss j Tobias, George Harris, 43, who handled the revolver with which the girl j was killed, is now being held by the • police of Brooklyn on a charge of 1 murder. Widely’ known among the older inhabitants of this city and of Brooklyn, Miss Tobias comes of a family which settled in Brooklyn many years । ago. Harris, according to the storytold the police, had made the rounds , of more than one New Year’s party and had taken on more than his share of holiday cheer before maxing up his mind to call at the home of Miss Tobias, 1672 Fulton St. The Brooklyn girl, friends of Harris assert, was a sweetheart of Harris. Harris, reports allege, had a little something on his mind as well as on his breath. Miss Tobias, it appeered, had fallen far short of granting him that degree of attention that Harris considered was due a character of his standing in the community. I Arriving at the Tobias home ,the disappointed lover proceeded to upbraid her. Miss Tobias, it is claimed, denied having fallen short of Harris* 11 ideal of an affectionate companion, ' but Harris refused to be convinced The argument became more heated. Harris declined to reason the thing । out and, and in a sudden fit of anger, ’ the police were told, he drew a revolver and shot the young woman. Harris sought to make his escape, but was caught. He is now- being i held pending trial. 1 i FIHE in crarw ■ GETTING DANGEROUS I BLAZE IS SAGING UNCHECKED, WITH STATE HELPLESS ! I IN SITUATION. J ' Columbus, Jan. 10.—A fire in the abandoned Brooks Coal Mine near , j Nelsonville, which has been burning F for three months, is assuming danger- . I ous proportions and state forces, be- , cause of lack of equipment with . which to fight it, are powerless to . check its spread, Jerome Watson, head of the State Mine Division, re- , ported today to Herman R. Witter, . 1 industrial relations director. . ' Watson asserted that unless the ।j fire is checked it is likely to rage over . an area of 44 square miles, and ( eventually extend from Nelsonville ■ to Haydenville, a distance of eight , miles. The fire has reached a depth of L 1 100 feet in the hillside adjacent to . ■ Nelsonville and two veins of coal, ■ ■ one seven feet thick and the other . nearly half as thick, are burning, . ■ with an oil shale between them adding 11 fuel to the flaming coal seams. ; i The mine, which was abandoned -I in 1884, but worked for a time again I; during the World War period, is j owned by the Boston Consolidated > i Coal Co. of Athens. Watson de- ■ I clared the task of extinguishing the 11 fire is too great for either the mine i owners or the state. Mr. Witter emphasized the need i ; of federal aid w ith legislation pro- (• viding a state emergency fund to com- ’ bat mine fires. A gigantic steam shovel, such as employed by the ’ United States Bureau of Mines, is needed to forge ahead of the fire according to him. : SHOOTS WIFE, STEPS FROM AUTO AND KISSES HER, AS SHE FALLS i Ensley, Ala., lan. 10 —Mrs. Robi 1 ert Waller was slain by her husband at the home of her mother Tuesday. • Waller fired a bullet through his I wife’s heart from an automobile, stepped from the car and kissed her [as she- fell, then shot at her body four times as it lay on the ground : before him, according to his confession to the police. “I loved the woman better than : anything in the world,” Waller stated i in the confession. When he had returned to his home, he sought to commit suicide. The bullet, however, struck a rib and. j glanced to result in a flesh wound in ! the side and arm.
