BUICK BETTER THAN EVER

No single season in recent years
has seen so many improvements in
Buick cars as the present one; and
never has the Buick line been so COM
plete.
The engine, for example, is fitted
with longer pistons and connecting
rods, adding to the smoothness and
longer wear for which the Buick en-
CINE has always been noted. A new
rear spring suspension has been de-
vised which is undoubtedly the high
est development of the cantilever
type yet achieved. The frame, the
transmission, the rear axle, the
brakes, the bodies and equipment,
each shows the hand of the skilled
designer by some new and valuable
features.
The insurance companies have rat
ed all fourteen models as Class ga"
fire risks, because of the safety Of
their electrical and gasoline systems
and have materially reduced the
theft insurance rates. This means a
big saving in insurance premiums
over cars not so rated; it also indi-
Gates the close attention to detail
that has been paid to these Buick
cars for season of 1923.
AS in the case of six-cylinder mod
els, the Buick four-cylinder cars have
been redesigned this season, not
merely in the sense of giving them a
new appearance, but with the object
of making them better and more efl
ficient automobiles in every depart
ment of motoring service.
These changes begin with the
frame, which has been entirely re-
designed, and continue through the
important mechanical units of the
car, from an easier and simpler meth
cd of oiling the rocker arms to an i'm
proved method of driving the speed
ometer.
The body is larger and roomier,
with lower lines and added grace Of
appearance. There are new and i'm
proved Tenders, top, windshield, head
lights, side curtains.
There is an improved spring sus-
pension, new upholstery, improved
dash equipment, new arrangement of
seats, longer and lower steering col
umn, and a number of other features
that add materially TO riding and
driving comfort.
There is a transmission lock to pre-
vent theft which reduces insurance
rates materially, Other improve
ments place the Buick Fours in Class
"A" as fire insurance risks, securing
for the owner lower insurance rates.
These are part, and only part, of
the changes that apply to all four
cylinder models. Each model has its
own special improvements, because
each has been redesigned as a unit

RULES FOR DEALING WITH THE
FLY NUISANCE.


As is the case with many undesir-
able conditions, prevention Is Bet
ter than Cure" in dealing with the
fly nuisance. The following rules,
issued few years ago by Petersen
Drug Co., are so apt at this season
that we believe them worthy of re-
printing in the Record:
Keep the flies away from the sick,
especially those i'll with contagious
diseases. Kill every fly that strays
into the sickroom. His body is cover
ed with disease germs.
Do not allow decaying material OF
any sort to accumulate on or near
your premises.
All refuse which tends in any way
to fermentation, such as bedding
straw, paper waste, and vegetable
matter, should be disposed Of or COW
cred with lime or kerosine oil.
Screen all food, whether in the
house or exposed for sale.
Keep all receptacles for garbage
carefully covered and the cans clean
ed or sprinkled with oil or lime.
Keep all stable manure in vault or
pit screened or sprinkled with lime,
oil or other cheap preparations, such
as are sold by number of reliable
manufacturers.
See that your sewage system is in
good order; that IL does not leak, is
up to date and not exposed to flies.
Pour kerosene into the drains.
Burn or bury all table refuse.
Screen all windows and doors
especially in the kitchen and dining
room.
If you see flies, you may be sure
that their breeding place is in near
by filth. It may be behind the door
under the table or in the cuspidor.
II there IS no dirt and filth there
will be no lies.
II there is a nuisance in the neigh
borhood write at once to the health
department.

Parks-national- and state-for the
picnicker and the camper continue to
grow and prosper. Last year over a
million visitors and nearly 100000 au-
tomobiles journeyed through the ma
tional parks of the country. Purse
strings of state legislatures are loosen
Ing up to meet the demand of the peo-
pie for open country, good roads, green
grass and leafy trees. Twenty-Five
states now have 200 state parks of all
types, shapes, sizes and locations.
Thirty-six thousand acres comprise the
Palisades Interstate park, owned in
partnership by the people of New York
and New Jersey. Connecticut boasts
the Macedonia Brook state park Of L.
700 acres, California it's Red Wood
state park Of 1900 acres, and Florida
it's Royal Palm state park Of 1920
acres.

The nomenclature Of the cigar trade
is one Of the very interesting phases
of. democracy. No agent intent upon
building up a market for 1O-cent
cigar ever named it for a statesman.
He complimented instead, an actor, a
philanthropist, racehorse, hypo-
thetical Indian maiden or suppositi-
tious Spanish grandee. To have named
10-cent cigar for a statesman would
have been to queer" both the cigar
and its: involuntary patron. The peo-
pie would not have stood for that sort
of thing, 1t would have presumed d
certain superiority which they would
have rebuked both at the cigar stand
and at the polls. ~ >

Do boys and girls study better in
mixed or in segregated classes? Are
the boys inspired by the presence Of
the girls to do better work that they
may the better shine in the fair ones
eyes? Or are the girls dis@~acted by
the boys and do poorer work? All pet
theories on the subject fall by the
wayside in the face Of the actual
facts, as demonstrated in period Of
seven years at Northwestern high
school in Detroit According to John
E. Porter. house principal at the
school, writing in the Detroit Educa-
tionaI Journal, the boys do slightly bet
ter under the system of segregated
classes and the girls do considerably
worse, HOWever-and here is NUM-
ton for the feminists-under either
system the scholarship of the girls is
superior.

tiny fishing village in France may
be expected to put on the airs of Sc
lect watering resort before long, for
80 out of the so inhabitants have just
come into heritage representing 49,
100000 francs. The money comes
from an uncle in America. While some
few of the suddenly rich fishermen will
undoubtedly leave the little village and
spend their wealth elsewhere, it is
easy to believe that the older people
will stay where they are, fishing as
usual and not letting the money make
too great a difference in their lives.
Habit and tradition are strong in these
people, and they are happiest doing
that which they can do best.

In things of the mind the American
student is to-. docile. I have sometimes
wished to encounter more resistance to
my ideas, less admiring submission,
writes Prof. Albert Feullerat in La
Revue DIES Deux Mondes. 1t is curl
Gus thing, these young men, capable
of throwing themselves madly into bat
tie, these born adventures who find
fierce delight in surmounting real OBJ
stacles, are almost pusillanimous when
they have to engage in a struggle with
ideas. That comes, without doubt,
from their being trained to learn, not
to think. It is a tendency of educa-
ton which when pushed to excess re-
acts against the end sought.

TASTE FOR GOOD MUSIC

People listen to good music with ap-
probation and enjoyment as never be-
fore. The charge that modern taste
runs to "jazz' and barbaric melodies
is akin to the statement that good
books are not read as they once were.
Since books and music are to be found
everywhere nowadays, there is, natu-
rally, an increased market for stories
and musical numbers "of the baser
Sort" as well as those Of high class.
The photograph has introduced the
greatest singers of the age and the fin
est compositions Of all time to COM
munities and homes where they would
never otherwise have been heard.
Tastes for such music have been Gre
ated and cultivated And now the
radiophone promises to make the best
concert music available to fasteners
I'M all over the country. The public
of today has not only appetite for good
music, but a capacity to appreciate the
many different kinds of good music,
the cosmopolitan taste, which enables
an audience to sit down to a musical
banquet and enjoy every course.

Twenty-Five years ago, when the
Jewish Agricultural and Industrial
Aid society began to function, there
were ZIG farm families in the United
States. n Today the Jewish farm popu-
lation is over 10000. In 1900 the total
acreage owned by Jewish farmers was
1909; today 1t exceeds 100000
acres, and the real estate and personal
valueJof these. holdings is estimated as
over $1OO,OOO,o0o. ''That most of these
farmers have been able to weather the

About the only occasions when a

deemed interesting or essential are on

your printing out the name. The in
