The Bucks Frame
Is a Cradle of Steel

The Buick has hydraulic pressed steel
frame, around which the entire Buick car is
constructed and the engineers have given this
very important unit great deal Of study to
secure rgldltV and strength without excessive
weight
Each side member of this frame is made
of single piece Of metal heavy channel sec
ton Of hydraulic pressed steel, gradually wild
ening from the front to point slightly for
ward of the center, where the strain is great
est, and then gently tapering to the rear,
where All offset accommodates the rear axle
and gives the maximum road clearance and
low hung body.
Flanges the top and bottom OF these channels
make il impossible to bend the frame sideways,
and the extreme depth Of these channels at vital
points guarantee against saggng, under
traordnary abuse.
The frame is held together by four stout cross
members OF channel section, pressed steel, riveted
to side members by pneumatic hammers with
heated steel rivets and additionally reinforced by
triangular steel plates, fanged tightly against the
frame we'll as motor support which is bolted
to the frame at the of the motor.
The entire Buick mechanism is therefore sup
ported and held in alignment in this cradle of steel
which is cffectually guarded against danger OF
weaving and distortion at any point.
The thorough consistency OF the Buick car is
brought home with ever-ncrcasing emphasis the
longer the is 1t is the balance and proDor-
ton, resulting from nearly twenty years spent in
co-ordnating the parts of the Buick car that make
the Buick SO serviceabe and economical in every
day service.
Each of these twenty years the natural evolution
Of the Buick organization has brought improve
ments, convenicnces, more simple operation and
always something which advances the Buick closer
to the ideal in automotive construction This 1919
series embodies SO many new and attractive fea-
lures that it gives unbounded confidence and
pride in explaining and showing them You really

Finding Summer Homes.

(NeW York Sum-
 If the housing situation in Holland at all resembles that which exists in the United States a new punishment for Count HOhenZOllern appears in the news from Amerongen that the former Emperor, desiring to leave Count Bentinck's castle, has gone house hunting.
 Everybody in this neck of the woods who has tried his hand this summer at finding either the acceptable city apartment at a reasonable rental or a summer habitation fit for the dog days will agree that Wilhelm would do better to give himself up to the Allies if Hollands houses are as scare as New York's Ae.

Let Is Not Forget!
(NeW York Herald)

An American aoldicr of prophetic vision, who had been honored and feted ol his return to his native town last February, after serving with dis tinction in France, closed his speech of thanks With these words:
 9Th 0Se of us who are now return ing from the Areonne and the Nerdun front feel the deepest gratitude for the splendid nlnner in which you welcome us. But there is one tear in the hearts of some of us, and that is that after (, while the novelty of ac- claiming the soldier will wear off and the man in uniform will become an old story without the savOr Of interest l beg of you all not to forget the last man home, and I ask you to be as generous to him as you have been to me and my comrades"
 At that tie, only five months ago, it seemed that his fear was groundleSs Everywhere the American soldier was beng acclaimed as a hero. There was keen rivalry between organizations official and private, to OurdO one an- other in heapinS honors on the men who had fought and whipped the enemy. The man in uniform Was a being apart. He stood as one who
  cd the respect and admiration of all his fel1OW-AmeriCan
 That was only five months ago. The short lapse of time gives weight of added emphasis to the statement made by General Clarence Edwards that TOW the uniform is being sneered at. He does not utter this charge on the unsupported statement of sol diers;< he adds to it the testimony Of the intelligence department to sub stantiate the assertion that. the hoH- days of men of the army on leave Of absenc are being spoiled by the un- favorable attitude of at least a DOT ton of the population toward our troops.
 General Edwards has been com pcllcd 10 ask that the soldiers under his command be permitted to wear civilian garb while absent on leave Surely there must he live punlrc sentiment that will meet such dis grr ceful condition and SO restore th5 soldier tc his proper place of respect that ho will not fee 1mpelled to dis card his uniform as a livery of shame SIrclv Americans will not give the monarchists of Europe the opportun- itv to repeat the assertion that re publics ale always ungrateful.'

For Crippled Children.
(Waterbury Republican,

Waterbury, because of the trouble that it is having in establishing q children's home, will be particularly another column that the Connecticut Children's Aid society has started to raise S5OO.OOO for the unfortunate children of the state.
 The money raised is to be used for a new fire-prOOf home suitable for all needy crippled children, home which shall be a credit to our state. The appeal for funds points out the fact that there is but one home in the state. and that in a leaky, three story wooden tire-trap. The association is not able to reach anywhere near all the children that it should because of lack of funds.
 All over the state are little young sters born into the world handicapped l in life'S struggle from the start by a Withered arm a bumped back, or twisted little body. There are Ghil- dren whose first baby stares of Won- der encounter the grim specter of poverty and neglect. Childhood ir a time which should be free from such things.

France and the DOUghbOyS.
(New York Evening PostD


 Prejudice against the French is based upon four stock stories: that the peasant huckSters OVercharged our soldiers, that they appropriated our army supplies, that the French and Belgians are taciturn compared with Germans, and, crowning and crushing fact, that American officers want to marry the Rhine maidenS. The decrepit old vendors of carrots show up very badly, of course, be- side the noble dealers of the United States, who would have died rather than charge a doughbOy a dime too much for pie or puttees. There has been on imitation of prices near can comments over here. The record of our impromptu taXi-driVers is a tale of sacrifice. And if we found it con- venient to use airplanes and artillery supplied by the French, that makes it none the less shocking that they should have taken several cakes of chocolatc from us. Furthermore, there still be those who prefer one cranky Belgian 10 five million glad some Germans.

HAVING HARD TIME
GermanA Austria Finds Conditions Worse Than Was ExpcCted-Niu
 Rely Entirely On League of Nations

Copenhagen, July 30.-A dispatch from Vienna says pr. Karl Rcnner, in a letter to President Seitz of German Austria outlining his policy on ac- ceptance of the foreign ministry says that German-Austria's struggle for future existence Is proving much more difficult than even pessimists ex- pected. Austria, he asserts, can hard ly live in it's present position and can only surrender itself trustfully to the League of Nations.
 German Austria will not mix in the politics of the great powers nor share in the rivalries of it's neighbOrs, pr. Renner continues, but will pursue exclusively a League of Nations pOIi- cy and try to rebuild it's national eco- homie system and create a new so- Cial order.
 Its hopes will not be vain," Dr. Renner declares. unless the League of Nations fails to be true to itself or refuses recognition of German-Aus- tria's rights to existence.

COMMUNiCATED.

Editor New Britain Herald:
 De1r Sir: On top of Burritt Hill is beautiful property owned by the Booth Estate. It would cut up into nearly two hundred fine building lots.
 The Booth Estate makes no effort to dispose of it. In fact as anyone interested in real estate knows they throw every difficulty in the way of the man who wal.ts to buy building lot of the estate-and they charge eX- orbitant prices when they dc sell.
 They have been offered $2OO,OOO for that property and have refused it. It is assessed on the tax list for $50,oO0. Why should rot il b2 assessed at the price of $2o0, ,0OO? What is the reason that they are protected?
 Perhaps the Landlords and Tax payers assOciation''-if not the as ses5ors-can throw sorle light on it. If not can the mayor or some com- mittCc of the Common Council?
 Why should anyone be allowed to hold l big piece of property like that make no effort to improve it, let the city grow around it and increase it's value from year to year and still be exempt fror:: paying taxes based upon it's actual value? Respectively.

\ Combination Party.
Bridgeport POst.)

Jim Ham" Lewis, former United left outside the breastworks in the great political overturn of 1918, is out with a suggestion for 1920 which will invite some consideration, even though one may question it's progress to anything like full fruition.
 1t is the opinion of the Chicago gentleman of glowing whiskers that there will be a combination party in the field for the next national cam paign President Wilson will run third time and with him will be united "a good republican" says eX-Senator Lewis.
 From former Senator Lewis point of view the issue will be the league of nations. The republicans will nominate man opposed to it and with him will be linked a democrat in opposition.
 President Wilson will be forced to run again, says MT. Lewis and upon this great issue. And it will not then be third campaign, but in reality a first one, the Illinois man holds. The vital issue of the league of nations will wipe off the two terms and make it as though President Wilson was running for the first time.
 And the good republican" who will he be? Perhaps former Presi- dent Taft It would make quite a com bnation. No one can guess who the ''wicked republicans will nom- mate, or who the double-dyed em- bodiment of "Wicked democrat will be who will link up in the satanic ar rangement.
 Senator Lewis is certain that there would be but one verdict. Perhaps he is right Anyhow, it is an inter estng hot weather political forecast eleven months ahead of nominating time,

MASSACHUSETTS, AND SUNDAY SPORTS.

Up Massa achusetts way the citizens seem to be responding heavily to an overdose Of piety and the state is well on it's way to make the Sabbath a day of nothing but intensive rest at homo, despite the weather or the need for outdoor exercise of any individual Sunday golf is receiving unWelcome attention from the police authorities in certain districts and other sports. such as baseball, have been placel under the ban. Pity the man who has a desire for other than the tamest of outdoor exercise and who lives in that state! It would not be surprising should laws be passed making it obligatory to go to church rest of the day.
 New England still has set of laws, known as the Blue Laws," which have not been repealed and which discourage practically everything that one is liable to do on Sunday, ex- cept attending church. We are told by authorities on these musty rules that it is illegal 10 kiss your wife on Sunday. AS for riding in vehicles of any description or even cooking upon the Sabbath, there is no hope for those who do such ungodly things. The autom obile was not known at the time of the adoption of the laws, but ment awaits the owner of the vehicle who dares to take it from the gara 5e on Sunday. Almost any act may be prosecuted, should it be determined to do so. And Massa chusetts author ities are evidently very anxious to stop ak amusements on the day Of rest
 Connecticut has reason to be proud of it's progressiven ess as compared with that of the Bay State. Not only golf, but baseball and similar outdoor sports are winked at by. indulgent police who realize that modern life demands outdoor exercise and gives little opportunity for it except on Sunday. Many of dhe sports here are just as illegal, under a strict in ter pretation of our laws, as they are up north of us. The public demand for recreation in the open air has been answered by ignoring the old laws just as Massachusetts. as far as we know, has ignored the law which makes it a crime to kiss ones wife on Sunday. When piety overcomes good judgment and becomes a thing that must be forced upon the popu- lace, it is altered into hypocrisy and loses it's intended identity. Hypocrisy is not countenanced by religion and only a fanatic would endeavor to further the cause of religion by fore ing an individual to go to church through sheer lack of anything else to do.
 sure. The war has done much to alter the status of Sunday. Exercise and entertainment in the open air are needed by workers of all descriptions and it is right that they should get them. The matter of religion and what it demands is between them aa.i their God; not between them and the police force. May those who wish to go to church attend, may many who realize their duty to humanity attend, and may the ones who wish to witness Sunday ball game or play a game the individuals whose piety over-- weighs their judgment.
