' Kentucky Demos Meet '
, Louisville, Ky., May 1. ftetucky
democrats today held county mass
conventions to elect delegates to the
democratic state convention to be
held here May Approximately
2,000 .delegates were to be named.
Hardly a hat remained on a head
as the little group of War Mothers
in the parade fifed by. Many of
them were elderly, to whom the
exertion of such a march was a
serious problem, but without a
murmur thev held their places, de
termined to show that the spirit of
their boys , was alive in tqem.
Every, one carried a flag, and many
of them service flags, with two and
I three s'tars in the center.
The. South Side was out in force
! every spectator at tile pafade real
lized that as block 'after block xof
marchers under Various flags from
that district stepped past. And
everyone was an American, volun
tarily present, exemplifying the
patriotic slogans on the banners
each group carried. Their cohibined
section was one of the largest in the
line of march.
The Iten Biscuit company's repre
sentation von the second-hand joke
book for being the merriest march
ing club in the parade. The pretty
makers of Iteh's edibles were full of
pep from the start until they had
disbanded and were headed for
home, and during their entire march
kept a string of laughs passnig up
and down the line.
Credit for the best Americaniza
tion exhibit in the parade was uni
versally accorded to rather Flana
gan's boys. All Wore red, white and
blue headgear. Many were dressed
to represent Uncle Sam or colonial
characters and every small group
bore a slogan that pledged, loyalty
to the country. " Each group ren
dered an elaborate salute to the re
viewing group.
Appropriate combinations of the
American game and Americanism
were shown by the players in the
Commercial and. Bankers league in
their sections of the parade. Snappy
slogans ringing with the patriotism
that fires their sporting blood were
carried by each team. Every one
proved himself an American,, as the
sign said. All carried flags on base
ball bats. .
William F. Russell, Grand Army
of the Republic veteran, of Guthrie
Center, Neb., sat in the reviewing
stand with a parrot on his knee. He
explained that he is on his way
home from Brownsville, Tex., by
automobile, and stopped over here
to have his car overhauled. The
parrot was astonishingly pacific for
a Mexican bird.
The eyes of the regular army of
ficers in the reviewing stand
snapped, a hit brighter when the
American Legioners came swinging
past These men,, prime movers in
the Americanization celebration,
showed in the perfect lines and col
umns they kept that their training
camp days have not been focgotten.
"Tell me the army isn't demo
cratic!" Colonel Bucksaid. "There
go firmer majors and line officers
shoulder to shoulder with former
'bucks' and everyone there for the
same reason."

'
Speed So Smooth
, that Miles Melt 4way
Sixty milts an hour is an'cffbrtkss speed
for t:he new National Sextet.
So smoothly and masterfully does the car
hit this road racing gait that you are
tempted to question the accuracy of the
speedometer and wonder if it should not
be showing a leisurely thirty.
The retarded throttle brings the speed of
the Sextet down to two miles an hour in
high, yet the car accelerates to forty miles
an hour within a city block.
The Sextet also recognizes the authority
of the brake, as well as the command of
the accelerator, coming to a full stop from
thirty miles an hour in 20 feet.
Utmost case of handling is a salient Sex
tet virtue. The car obeys the slightest
touch of hand and foot. The steering is
of the freely operating worm-and-gear
type." Brake and clutch pedajs yield eas
ily to pressure. Control levers are excep
tionally long,andopcratedwithbutchange
of posture.
Lift the long, tapering hood of the Na
tional Sextet and you will see the source
of the car's extraordinary road compe
tence. It is an improved overhead-valve,
high-efficiency; six-cylinder engine, built
complete in National shops and capable
1 of developing 71 horsepower.
Only the experienced eye will note the
correctness of design that makes the Sex
tet engine the fine piece of mechanism
that it is.
And only a visit to the National factories
can disclose the close limits to which this
engine is built and the advanced methods (
of precision manufacture that are prac
ticed hy expert craftsmen in translating
this design into steel and its alloys.
Yet even the novice, when he takes the ,
, wheel, instantly appreciates the advan
tages of these qualities which are respon
sible for the abundant, smooth, silent,
flexible power that is ever at his bidding
and control.
A demonstration? Gladly, and at your
pleasure.1
