passenger sedan in the closed models. l
 Inasmuch as it has been known in the automobile trade for some time that Buick purposed adding line of fours, considerable interest attaches to the specifications covering the new models. In motor construction Buick has adhered to the valve-in- head principle with which it's name has been so prominently connected for twenty years. The cylinder bore is 3 and 3-8 inches with stroke of and 3-4 inches. The motor de- velops between 35 and 40 brake ; horse power and road tests have shown that the power plant will de- liver up to 50 miles an hour with ease. Features of motor construc- tion are the large three-bearing crankshaft and 12-inch long con- meeting rods, extra long rods being provided to reduce vibration to minimum. A circulating splash oil ing system gives automatic luorica- tion throughout. Another impor- tant feature, which is standard equipment on all Buick cars, is the
 
 through which ideal vaporizing con- ditions are obtained.
 The transmission is of the s2lec- tive sliding gear type, three speeds forward and one reverse. The uni versal joint is of standard Buick construction, being virtually an in- tegral part of the transmission and I,,h, transmission. The clutch is of the multiple disc dry plate type, built in exact accordance with the principles which have guided clutch construc- tion in Buick sizes. All moving driving parts are enclosed.
 Front axle of the four-cylinder car is an I-beam forging. The rear axle is three-quarter floating type, all the weight of the car being car ried on the axle tubes and only driving torque and steadying of the wheels being taken by the axle driv- ing shafts. The third member is of standard Buick type of construction, designed successfully to elemnate all twisting or weaving in the rear axle. Gear ratio of the rear axle on high speed is 4 and 2-3 to 1.
 Wheelbase of all models is 1O9 inches. The spring suspension is designed to give fine riding quail ties to a car of this wheelbase. The front springs, semi-elliptic type, are 36 inches long, and the rear springs, also semi elliptic, are 551a inches long.
 Cord tires are standard equip ment on all models. These tires, which are 31x4, are the first straight side cord tires in this size ever manu- factured and were built especially to meet Buick requiremnts for the new four-cylinder cars. The tires have been adopted as standard size.
 The chassis is fabricated with the high pressure Alemite system. Del co starting and lighting system is standard equipment. All models are ! complete with tire carrier and ex- tra rim and all are equipped with non-glare headlight lenses.
 Shipping weights of the four models are: Roadster, 231O pounds; touring car, 238O pounds; coupe, l 2430 pounds; sedan, 265O pounds.
 Prices, f. o. b. factories at Flint, ! Mich, are: Roadster, $935; touring 1 car, $975; coupe, $1,475; sedan, $1,650.

Major General Henry J. Allen, commanding the United States army of occupation in Germany and a company of American infantry from the Rhine have been ordered by the War Department to attend the unveiling of, the Flirey monu- ment at Flirey, France this summer. The monument is a memorial to the American Expeditionary Forces. Two hundred and fifty members of the American Legion who have been invited to tour France as guests of the French government Will pGrtic-- pate in the ceremonies. John G. Emery, national commander of the Legion will be one of the speakers,
 Because he believes married men make better citizens, Rev. John W. Ipzer, national chaplain of the American Legion, has announced that he will perform without cost marriage ceremonies for members of the Legion attending the national convention of the organization at Kansas City this fall. The conven- tion committee believes the chap lain's inducement will result in so many marriages during the conven- tion that it has appointed a special newlyweds committee to look after the comforts of bridal parties.

 An expressed desired to be buried with her son, who lost his life overseas, was realized by Mrs. John Johansen Sr., of Davenport, Ia., who died a few minutes before the train bearing her sons body reached Davenport. Mrs. Johansen had been ill ever since the shock caused by news of her sons death. It was strange fate that brought about the double funeral. The American Legion was in charge of the funeral.
 William N Day, of Great Falls, Mont, has been appointed by John G. Emery, national commander of the American Legion, to serve as national auditor of the Legion. He has assumed his duties at national headquarters, Indianapolis. He was formerly a bank examiner in Mon tana. The headquarters staff of the Legion now has representatives from 34 states.
 Roy Albert of St. Louis, Mo, said to have been the smallest man who served with the American army over seas, was killed by train at Cas- per, Wyo. He weighed 93 pounds. The American Legion took charge of the body and arranged funeral plans.
 The Montana department of the American Legion is Investigating the disappearance of F. A. Woodland, of Sidney, Montana, who has been the object of three-weeks search. Woodland disappeared from his room at Great Falls Hotel, where he had stopped over on his return from the convention at Lewistown. He had been one of the active dele gates to the convention and was considered as a candidate for state GGjutant.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

Clifford A. Lafin, winner of a Croix de Guerre, who survived sev- eral major engagements in France as first lieutenant of the 17th Field Artillery, died recently in a St. Paul, Minn., hospital from a pin scratch. The funeral was con- ducted by the American Legion.
 | "The American Legion is one of the bulwarks of the world'', said Marshal Foch in recent interview with an American newspaper cores pondence. Referring the Paris post of the Legion, the marshal said it was "the American heart of France"
 Citizens of Seattle were amazed recently at the sight of Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant of the American Legion; Hugh M. Cald- well, mayor of Seattle; Brig. Gen, Maurice Thompson, and other promi- enent members of the American Legion in chains and wearing the army fatigue uniforms with the fan- liar ''P. G." (prisoner of war; on their backs, being led through the streets. It was only a part of the initiation of the 40 and 8" sociery, the plGy organization of the Legion.

 "The greater portion of solid, right thinking, right-living young Americans got into service during the war, only the dregs were left in civil life," declared Chief of Police Pendegast, of Los Angeles, Cal, to officials of the American Legion. The police chief said that he had never yet found criminal who could show good service record.
 Formal demand has been made to Mayor Thompson of Chicago by Theodore Roosevelt Post of the American Legion for an investiga- tion of the conduct of city officials who served on a reception com mittee to welcome Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, back to Chicago from the Federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth.

 AIR TIGHT tins Of SOP
Connecticut western news., 1921-08-04

Some motorists have an idea that it makes little difference whether or not cap is used on the tire valve and when a cap is lost they use the tire without one. This idea is en- tirely erroneous, say the manufac- turers of Revere tires, and motorists who do not use the valve cap can expect valve trouble.
 When the cap is not used there is every probability that sand and dirt will work down into the valve and ultimately produce a leak. While a tire remains inflated this dirt in some cases may do no harm. But when a new imitation is made the pump drives the dirt down into the valve and makes an air-tight con- nection almost impossible.

Much OF the selling of the early
part Of the week was done on the

more or less selling was prompted by
unfavorable German political news
and the drop to new low levels OF
