-?> ' ?>' States The "Shame Of The Nation"? la a scathing reply to the editorial -? . fhi^nn n>n?p?P^r. CUOtWl 8S pointing the finger of shame at me South. Holland's. The Magazine of the South. In the current Issue says: "Ot ter and amazing ignorance, not only of the South but of our country as.e whole. -is revealed in a recent editor ial in the Chicago Daily Tribune en titled "Public Life In the Sticks States.' which takes note of Louis iana and her political problems, of Oklamoha's impeachment trials, of the 'Mi' Ferguson episode ih Texas, and of the Bilbo of Mississippi? but which does not mention, oddly enough, A1 Capone or Len Small of Illinois? and goes on to say that th? Southern States are remote from centers o! commercial activity, culture, and .learning, and are the 'shame of the KStten.' , .. "After "S first wave of surprise at a so crass display of sheer ignorance, we are amused at being termed the 'sliame' of anything by a newspaper In such an abbfttoir as Chicago, with its putrid politics, its guarded elec tions. its gangster-ruled streets, its ? St-.- Valentine's Day slaughters, its beer 'barons.' and its., neighboring Herrins fend Ciceros. Political disputes in the Southern States at least aic yelled in __canrts .of law, and not with machine Runs. Ths Southern States have no unseated United States senators, nor does any of their senators send a floral offering and his personal card to a gangster's funeral. "The South, in* six years, increased its manufactured-products values $567 000.000. In those same six years, manufacturing values in the rest of the country decreased 5279.609.000 Southern ports handle 42 per cent of the country's water-borne tonnage. Over 61 per cent of all active1 cotton ."Pindles in the Nation are in the South, such tacts as these are SM less. If this be remoteness from commercial activity, make the most of it. "The South was steeped in culture f r?d lcarr.ingf~?nd? its (.'.ties1 were the sites of recognized colleges and uni versities. more than three-quarters of a century before Chicago came into existence. Its first college was found ed over 1.40 years before Chicago, In fact, when Chicago was" founded, there already were 40 universities and colleges in the South? as a?ainst only 20 in the Middle West and 36 in the Tfmaining states. Two of these South ern colleges were in Louisiana ? and Mississippi! "The second college founded on American soil was in a Southern state ?the College ol William and Mary, at Williamsburg. Virginia, in 1693 Only fine other university was iounded in America during that century? Harvard, in 1636. located in Massachusetts, which is not a Middle West state. "In the eighteenth century, be ginning with the founding of Wash ington and Lee University at Lex ington; Virginia, in I'M?? the Couth saw 13 colleges and universities found ed within its borders, and 14 founded in the rest of the country. No col lege or university was founded in the Middle West during that century. "The first American college fcstab p lished in the nineteenth century was the University of South Carolina, at Columbia, in 1801 ? the fifteenth Southern university to be founded prior to the establishment of any such in stltution in the Middle West. Be fore the founding of Chicago's first univefsity, the' South had 58 colleges' end universities. Of these, three were in 'Texas, two in Louisiana, and one in Mississippi ? states, according to the learned Tribune' remote from ^culture and learning.' "Of the twoscore Southern univer sities founded while Chicago was still but an idea in a trader'f mind, one was Wesleyan. in Macon. Oeorgia. the eldest woman's college In the world, end the first to award a degree to a woman. Subsequent Southern col leges. preceding Chicago's first. - In cluded the famous Baylors in Texas. In 1845 ? Baylor College for women and Baylor University. "Todav there arc in the Southern States 189 recognized colleges and uni versities. The Middle West has only lie. The remainder of the country ha* 275. "In Justice to the Middle West, the North, and the' East. It should be un derstood and stated that this ridicu lous editorial in the Tribune does not reflect the attitude and opinion of the public in those sections toward end regarding the Southern States, but Is actuated probably by Jealousy and Is indicative of a narrow policy that has characterized the Tribune's attitude toward the South for manv years. Business men In Chicago and the Middle West know Its utter false ness. and It IK to the interest of thos" tame business men ? many of whom seek Southern patronage? to see that sutti misstatements are not circulated In the future. "If the editorial writers for the Trib une are weary of recording murders, gang fights, and bootlegging in Chi cago ? as they have reason to be ? and are merely seeking a new Subject, we suggest that they chpo9e one on which the/" have more Information A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but none at all Is gross Ignorance.'' Eliminates Breaking In Precision manufacturing and an un usual degree of Importance which the iPord Motor Company attaches to ? the Inspection of Mode) A cars has cone far to eliminate that, tedious pro tiw known as the "breaking In" of a new automobile. On the windshields of the new Model A are directions which suggest a driv ing speed limit for the first 500 miles it 35 miles per hour. This 1* in markwt -cooLtaxL lo Ihf old Jjr.E of ' instruction yhlch cautioned against * speed of more than 20 or 25 miles an hour for at least 100 miles. Excess beat is the most destructive agency, which may effect an auto mobile. particularly in the first sever ?jU.HWiUiiid inlltj it is driven, friction is mainly responsible for oveVheatins. and * piston that is fiU'.ji too tightly may 'seize and in turn score the cy linder wall. This tqeans an expensive repair' Job. Careful macliln'.ns; or engine parts, such as cylinder blocks, pistons, cam shafts. crankshafts, etc.. the proper fitting of bearings, accuracy in the cutting of gears: multitudinous checks during the process of assembling the Model A and rigid inspections com bine to produce an automobile which is ready for the road when delivered For this reason, it may at once be operated to the speed prescribed by the. motor codes of a great many states, without going through the customary "breaking in" period. In 1875 Matt Winn, a grocer's de livery boy. stole time off to see the Kentucky Derby run. He hasn't miss ed one since and now is Col. Matthew J. Winn, executive directors of Church ill Downs.

New Record For Uused Car Sales What is believed to be a new record for the sale of used ears in the United States was established in May when the nation-wide Chevrolet dealer organization sold 157,624 used cars. This was in addition to ' the record volume of new car business which also soared to a new level dur* in? the month. In rninmontiny r.n Ihg achii.ri.mni Chevrolet factory officials' point out that it was made possible through the tremendous amount,. of public confi dence that has been built up flj. . Chev rolet dealers through the genera! pol icy of offering for sale only depend through the widespread use of the red tag "with an O. K. that counts" . prospective used car buyers can be assured that every vital part of the ' car has been properly reconditioned and put in shape to offer thousands of miles of unused transportation. ^ Compared _ with, the corresponding month of a year ago. when 118,195 i: "d cars were sold, the May 1929 to tal showed a rain of more than 33 per cent. It also outstripped the April 1929 record of 133.887 Vised cars. In Accomplishing this feat, the Chevrolet dealer organization sold an average of 6.063 used cars a day dur ing the 26 business days of the month. This was at the rate of more than i 600 cars an hour and more than ten cars a minute. The May record de monstrates that it pays to sell only depependable merchandise, officials point out.
