American MOtOrist
is Seen EVERYWHERE

The American in1otorist Is not only
at the show or on the crowded
main highway. but we see him. or
her, on the desert. in the mountains.
on the Southern beaches and in
ruhber-tired wheel can go.
The motorist must spend money
for his car and accessories. for
fuel and tire. for storage and re-
nairs. He is legislated about. taxed.
fed and lodged bv landlords and
shepherded by traffic cops. He IL
more numerous than the sick or the
paupers or the railroad travellers.
He is the shining mark of the
Legislative demagogue. the tax gath
erer and the automobile thief. He
has a home. but 1t is primarily a
place to keep the car between
trips. He is a voracious absorber
of road and touring information, an
amateur highway expert. a conner
OF maps and a yearner beyond the
skyline where the strange roads go
down.

Growth Of BUICK
| LIKE A FAIRY TALE
Twentieth Anniversary Year
Finds Company Much
Greater Than Ever.

The twentieth anniversary year Of
the Buick Motor Company has ar
rived. This company, which again
holds honor position at the. show
because of its leadership in volume
Of production, was organized in 1909
and turned out its first car in De.
cember of that year.
At that time the Buick Motor
Company occupied d one story build.
ing at Flint, Mich. It employed
less than 100 people. In the wear
OF 1904 it produced sixteen auto
mobiles.
Today it occupies more than forty
buildings, 100000 square feet Of
floor space, empoyes more than
$4,000 people and is working on a
schedule OF $4,000 cars per annun.
1t has shipped as high as 1000 cars
in single day.
e. "A. De Waters, present chief
engineer of the company. has been
associated with Buick since the sar-
~ days. So has his principal asso4
ciate, r.. Al. Bower. These men
have thus practically devoted their
lives to the development OF the
valve-in-head motor, for which
Buick is noted as the pioneer.
In it's ''swaddling" days Buick
was famous for the many races and
competitive tests which II won.
1T established numerous records.
OF late years it's records have
been principally records of volume
output. During the last four months
of 1922 1t broke its own monthly
production record three times, the
weekly record nine times, the daily
record fifteen times, the trainload
record and the foreign shipment
record.
Practically the entire car with
the exception OF q few accessories
Is built in the Buick plant. IT has
one of the largest distributing or
ganization In the world. with service
stations nearly everywhere
To visualize the irnrnensity OF the
Buick plant at Flint, these facts
are given:
1. 1t is longer than seventeen
typical city blocks.
\ 2. AT its widest point IL Is wider
than six typical city blocks.
3. There are less than $50 cities
In the United States whose popula.
ton exceeds the number OF Buick
employees ana their dependents.

A skid is almost certain when
the wheels become locked. This
will happen if the wheels are with
or without chains. The cross links
tend to spread. and permit the
tread Of the tire to come into

be made by locking the wheels
momentarily, releasing them, and
locking them again, repeating the
process IL necessary. In this way,
the cross chains do the work OF
gripping the road before having
a chance to spread.

UMPIRES FAIL TO
AGREE WITH HIS
HONOR, THE JUDGE

New York, Dec. Is. - Major
league umpires who were strong
for Judge Lands prior to the play
ing Of the recent world series have
weakened on the commissioner.
Since the judge has made his
living entirely in judicial capac-
ity, the umpires figured he would
appreciate their position and back
hem up in any demands they
made.
When it became evident that the
1923 series would play to better
than a million-dnllar gate. it IS
understood the umpries called up
On the judge and made reques.
that their pay be increased, so that
their stipend would be more near
ly on an equality with the player.
The arbitrator based their re-
quest for money on the fact that
they were as necessary to the sue
cess OF, the series as the players.
This the judge merely laughed at,
according to report. He fatty re-
fused the request and it is said
told the umpires if they didn't like
the pay, they needn't report; that
he had men ready to step into theis
places in case they failed to show.
All of which has considerably
peeved the uinpries who make up
the two major league stats.

Z feet 2 inches tall and weighs 80,
so can't get clothes, shoes, hats or
other garments unless they're made
to order. No 'girl will marry him
because she couldn't be on the level
with him. He has to pack his own
bed along because no hotel has one
long enough: went to war, but was
too much Of target, being shot
nine times; has to sit in the back
row or rent a box at the theater,
and can't use telephone booth

enough. But to pretty Lille Buker

vantage and that is he's so tall he
can see all the pretty girls in

Minneapolis, Dec. 13.-When lie
hits 'em they stop dead.
That's saying in this part OF
the Z. S. applied to a footballer
when tackled by Carl Lidbers,
Minnesota's greatest defensive
back since the days Of the far
famed Lorin Scion.
Lidberg is one OF the most pow
erful backs playing football. He
is SO rugged that he can stand the
greatest gruelling without display
ing any traces of injury.
Lidberg is Minnesota's newest
wonder back. He has ripped and
torn all lines that have faced the
Gophers this year. He is nearly
always good for two or three
yards.
With Lidberg to rip into the
line, Martineau for Off-tackle and
offend runs and Malcolm Graham,
the new quarterback sensation, for
long runs off the ends, the Gopher
backtield is one Of the best that
has represented the Maroon and
Gold I'M years.

tive previous to the meeting and pre-
sumably during session, inisted that
