Not a Dream.

An aeronautical engineer
of the army has perfected a
device, which he calls a cycle
plane, whereby he flies
through the air by means of
foot propulsion, similar to
the pumping of a bicycle.
On his first trial he flew
twenty feet at a height of
few inches from the ground.
Not very far, and not very
high, but enough for a start.
Some people. upon reading
OF his achievement, will ri di-
cule the idea, just as Fulton
and Edison, and Marconi and
other great inventors were
laughed to scorn during the
infancy of their wonderful
inventions. Other pes simists
or doubters will become sar-
castle and term it another
newspaper yarn l here
are even those who will
ponderously and knowingly
declare the inventor has bugs
in his beanery.'
But a few Of the serious
minded will reserve judgment.
1t is possible that this army
engineer has taken the initial
step toward flying without the
aid of tn. unreliable gasoline
engine. The future craft for
aerial travel has yet to be
constructed. 1t will replace
the present aeoplane. which
is too unwieldy, unreliable,
and dependent upon explo-
sive gas.
When finally perfected it
will sail through the air with
The Dolores star., 1923-08-03

the same ease that automo-
blles now glide over the sur
face of the ground. There
will be no crashing to earth
at the first mishap, as is the
case with the plane of today,
because some means will be
found to overcome the at.rac-
ton of gravity.
You will be as safe in the
air as you are on land today.
We think we know some
thing OF air travel today, but
as a matter of fact we are
only scratching the surface of
aeronautlcal infancy.

Queer Frogs.

Most OF us never heard of
a big tree frog, which manu-
features poison gas under his
skin, or the huge bull-frog
which growIs and barks like a
dog and adds squealing like
a pig to his accomplishments.
But it is a fact that the Amer
lCan History Museum, in New
York has recently acquired
specimens from the Island of
Santo Domingo.
The poison-gas frog is de-
cidedly unique. He can
climb trees easily with his
queer feet and he weighs
about ten pounds. Even
snakes are afraid OF him be
cause he has horrid way of
of spou'ing at them a milky
liquid which is like carbalic
acid and smells very badly.
This frog is hatched out
like a tadpole in a mountain
stream; then he manages to

new Marvel carburetor that includes
simple dash adjustment for economy,
regardless of weather or kind of gaso-
line employed.
The extension to all four wheels of
the highly successful Buick external
brakes is feature that, it is an
nounced, has been in process of devel-
opment for period of years and
recently subjected to more than l5O, 900
miles of hard and varied road tests.
These brakes enables the car to be
brought to standstill much more
quickly and smoothly thus affording an
added factor of safety inestimable in its
advantages. The brakes are operated
by light pressure on the foot pedal
and the mechanism is both simple and
ingenious. The factory organization
gives its complete approval to this
feature as perfected and in no sense
experimental.
Another outstanding factor is the
improved fabrication of the engine
There are new cut-top push rods and
the rocker arms, valve stems and
springs. connecting rod bearings are
all automatically fabricated.
The foregoing are merely 1.-The high
spots in the 1924 Buick, the minor
improvements and refinements of the
line being, in the aggregate, scarcely
less interesting and epochal. And
through it all basic Buick ideas of
construction have been rigidly adhered
to, amplifed marveously, but in no
instance discarded.
VI the fourteen body models of the
line, ten are mounted on the Six cylin-
der chassis and four on the four cylinder
chassis
or the six cylinder body models there
are two interesting departures from
the 1923 line, five-passengsr Sedan to
be known as the Double Service, "
and five-passenger Brougham. The
former is painted durable black and
the interior is lined and upholstered in
easily renovated material. The result
is car that can be subjected to the
toughest usages of business and at the
same time quickly adaptable to social
purposes.
The five-passenger Brougham,
painted in brilliant maroon, is very
smart model of the so-called Sport
type. 1t has all the refinements, inside
and out, that are associated with cars
of this character, besides many features
distinctly its own.
The five-passenger touring car and
the tive-passenger Sedan, finished in
lustrous black, are distinguished by
ample room. The seven passenger
touring and seven-p passenger Sedan
are finished in beautiful soft shade of
blue. The sport roadster and sport
touring are hoth maroon color.
Of the four cylinder line, the FIVE
passenger touring and the two-passen-
ger Roadster are finished in black, the
four passenger Coupe in maroon, the
five passenger Sedan in blue. ADV.

The fellow who invites trouble seldom

No matter how smart you may be,

1t must be mighty disappointing to

of evil fail to come true.
The truth should bear inspection, but
it is not always wise to repeat it.
Even the biggest liar unhung is a

Virtue has its own reward, but it

You are never without friends as

Few women object to compliments.
especially when they are not deserved.
When convinced that you are right,
move cautiously. You may be wrong.
Wait, and it may come to you-if

Some girls are worth their weight in
gold, and yet their mothers are never
satisfied until they give them away.
When convinced that you know it all.
it is time to begin checking up on how

The fellow who travels the road of

Nothing is tempting to the person

What's the use of having our good
