BUICK MEASURES UP
TO PUBLIC DEMAND
Economy Represented by Low Upkeep,
High Resale Value and company's
Nation wide Service

York Automobile Show, again awarded to
Buick by the National Automobile Cham

Of business during the previous year. il
significant not only in itself but because
Of the reasons which brought about this
leadership" says r. r. Strong. general
sales manager OF the Buick Motor Com
pany.
mo car can build up such tremendous
public confidence as represented in Buick
production and sales unless that car has
fully satisfied the motoring public" de-
clares Mr.. Strong No single quality in
a car it is apparent can bring this about,
the car must measure up to public de-
mand in every respect.
whether car owners are conscious Of
1t or not, the chassis and mechanism of a
car are the most vital parts-and Buick
for p years has consistently and un
swerving1y developed its well-defned
engineering principles. This mechanical
soundness Of Buick is one reason for the
position at the front Buick occupies to-
day.
THE economy or Buick ownership is
represented in three things-each OF al
most equal importance-Iow upl1eep. high
resale value and the nationwide service
maintained by the Buick Motor Com
pany.
Buick mechanical excellence means a
minimum Of repairs and requirements.
The noted high resale value Of Buick
indicates very slow depreciation and an
economy on trade-ins that is apparent
on the face OF il.
THE third economy, resulting from
authorized service everywhere, which re-
turns every Buick car TO its owner in
the shortest possible time, provides as
nearly as possible uninterrupted service
And the final factor in Buick sales is
the public knowledge that Buick re-
sponsibllity follows every Buick car to
make sure that every Buick owner gets
full return on his investment"

INCREASE N SUICIDES "
DUE TO UNEMPLOYMENT

Suffering and worry incident to the
worldwide depression are reflected in
an alarming increase in the number
Of suicides, according to a statement
prepared by the Save-a-Life League,
of New York city. In that city alone,
during the past: six months, 443 per-
sons destroyed themselves.
Throughout the country and the
civilized world there seems to have
been a 'suicide wave," the league says.
In the first half of 1920 there were re-
ported to the league 2,771 suicides in
the United States, 1910 males and -961
females. During the first six months
of the year the number reported to
the league is 6.509-males, 4,527, and
females, 1882. The average age of
the male suicide is 43 years.
This large increase, according to
the league, is doubtless due to busi-
ness depression, economic disturbance
and general abnormal conditions.
t"The surprising thing is not the
large number of suicides, but that the
number is not still larger" says the
statement. when general economic
conditions improve, suicides will be-
come less frequent, but if the same
state Of things continue for any length
| of time we may expect an even great
er numbtier of suicides.'

STRIKE INSURANCE co.
USES S1RIKEBREAKERS

The charge by trade unionists
that insurance against strikes is
the latest form of strikebreaking
has been sustained in Topeka, Kan.
Recently w. E. Bush, president
Of Typographical union, stated that
the employing printers organiza-
ton, which is opposing the 44-hour
week, was employing spies and pro-
fessienal strike breakers through
a detective agency.
F. S. Crane, president of Crane
& company, and a member Of the
employers organization, proves to
be a far-sighted business man, and
produces an alibi. In a letter to
President Bush, the employer
states that his strike insurance
company asked for the number of
employees who had gone on strike.
Shortly afterward detective
agency shipped a man to the Crane
concern with letter of introduce
ton. The strikebreaker told the
employer that the agency was fur
nishing men for the insurance COM
pany.
1--WE have not at any time, nor
do we intend at any time,, to hire
any spies or professional strike
breakers, if they are known to us
as such," said Mr.. Crane, who adds
that the strikebreaker left before
he could be discharged.
In accepting the word Of the
employer, President Bush reminds
him that the charge against the
employers association still stands.

Employing Printers in Circular Say
Exclusion Of Unions Good Principle

WAsH1NGTON- Of the re-(
cent circulars issued by J. NJ. Voll-
mer, secretary Of the Employing
Printers Of America, printed in flam-
Ing red and circulated by the Asso-
ciated Employers Of Indianapolis.
carries this choice sentiment:
Free and independent management
being the fundamental principle of
the American plan,' there is no uni
form and universal system Of shop
regulations, for the obligatory adop-
tion Of any rigid code of rules in all
shops would defeat the very purpose
of the plan.
"The exclusion of labor unions is a
universal principle adopted purely by
common consent to vOuchsafe each
firms freedom to make its own rules
to meet it's own special requirements"
However, the circular proceeds to
set forth long series Of "princlples
characterizing the management of
non-union printing concerns which
have survived. These rules prescribe
the individual contract-of which
Vollmer offers to supply model-the
50 or 54-hour week, bonus system,
credentials for non-union service, etc
Leadership implies responsibility"
concludes Vollmer, land modern lead
ers of industry now acknowledge even
4 greater responsibility than the diff
Acult one involved in creating divi-
dends. AS trustee in cotrol of pro-
ductive forces, the employer is charg-
ed with the wise direction Of human
effort, the beneficent guidance Of hu-
man lives, and his every act should
be measured by the golden rule. The
Independent American shop must be
founded in fairness and the loyalty OF
every workman secured by a never
failing square DEAL"
From which it would appear that
the "open shoppers" are finding 1t
difficult to break the international
typographical Union and hence are
pleading the purest benevolence OF
motive.

entirely a success, but he made some
changes and tried it again. Finally
in 1881 he made his first successful
reaper, says Farm and Fireside. He
kept on making improvements and
1884 had machine good enough to
parent. He offered them for sale for
$40 apiece, but no one would buy.
FjAally in 1889 he invited q lot Of
farmers to see it work. It cut two
acres an hour. That was really Won
derful in those days but still no one
would buy It. The next year, 1910, a

prosperity TT
Inherent IN American life.
We have one asset OF incalcuiable
value In the return OF nearly all the
men who volunteered or were
drafted to fight in the world war.
The manhood Of our nation Is es-
scnfially unimpaired-
This means that 100000 of our
girls have or will have husbands,
girls whose hope Of matrimony was
In jeopardy. IL means that the
American stock In the next genera
ton Is to be propagated. not by
weaklings and towards, but by the
men who In 1915 were physically
fit to fight.
The best type Of immigration that
comes into America Is not that
which walks down the gang plank
on its own feet, bat that which the
good angels bend down and drop
into the cradles Of the land.
More important to our civilization
than the locomotive or the automo-
bile Is the baby carriage.
Homes are being established. The
home market must continue to be
our first reliance for prosperity.
Europe has suffered a loss In It's
rnan-power not only or chiefly In
productive industry. but in poten-
tial fatherhood.
America still has a large contract
OF cradle-rocking; and the nation
that rocks the cradle is the nation
that rules the world.
Keep the home fires burning.
There are happy brides for whom
hey may be kindled, and there are
strong. husky young men to saw
