the highest pointof efficiency

the outstanding policy of BUICK
Overtwenty years ago BUICK introduced
to the world it's first car. This same,
original car, if placed side by side today
with BUCKS latest 1925 models, would
reveal the same basic design in both cars.
Constant development of a fixed design
has given to the world a new low cost for
DEPENDABLE TRANSPORTATION,
plus the maximum in riding comfort, per-
Torrance and appearance.
The greatest tribute to BUICK design is
reflected by it's endorsement and adop-
ton by other automobile builders.
And again-the word of mouth testi-
mony of nearly two million Buick owners
has so firmly established Bucks reputa-
ton for DEPENDABILITY, that last
season Buick, built and sold quarter
million cars-an unheard of production
schedule for cars in Buick price class
No wonder BUICK is the STANDARD OF COMPARISON

Mrs. w. F. HOey, of Frederica, was
struck by taxicab at Thirteenth and

morning of last week and painfully
injured. Mrs. HOey was taken to the

One of the largest pure bred COW
sales ever held in this community was
that of Paul B. Messick, which took
place at his home two miles south of
MiddletOwn, Wednesday. Buyers were
present from Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Maryland and Delaware, and the
prices realized were far above Mr..
Messick's expectations. The highest
price received for one COW was $3.50
and the entire herd consisting of so
head of cows and heifers, averaged
about $11700 each.
At the poultry farm of A. V. Nc
COrmack, near Milford, is a white
leghOrn hen that is of ordinary size
and in all respects, resembles the
general utility hens kept for egg pro-
duction. Yet this hen has the pecu-
liar habit of laying every other day a
very large egg, that varies but a tri-
file as to size or appearance. The eggs
from this hen weigh on an average,
four ounces each. The circumference
, around the center measures exactly
six and one-quarter inches, while
around the length of the egg it meas
ures seven and three-quarters inches.
The she'll is almost a clear white and
there is only one yolk in the eggs. If
eggs were sold by weight-as they
should be sold, this hen would be a
winner of money for the owner.

 DAY ON MARKET
Profit Taking Continues Without Any Inclination
 Toward Weakness
By WALTER R. BROWN Market Editor New York Commc rciaI


 NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-An element of restraint featured Thursdays stock market operations. Profit talk ing continued in various groups but at no time was there any inclination to weakness, while in the afternoon there was a rebound as selling pres sure died out. Thus far the public has not evinced much interest and probably will not until there is some- thing to arouse enthusiasm. For the present there Is a tendency toward caution which is reasonable enough, notwithstanding the general belief that both political and industrial af- fairs will turn out satisfactorily.
 Congress reassembled. and that fact alone is sufficient to cause some hesitation until the trend of legisla- tive affairs is more clearly demon- strated. There will naturally be much clamoring on the part of vo- eiferous congressmen for all kinds of legislation and sensational fnvestiga- tions. but this will expend itself harmlessly.
 Francs Have New Low.
 One of the items that caused com ment was the weakness in the ex- changes, although with the exception of French there was some recovery new low at 4.S91ac which was coin cident with the announcement of a sharp increase in note expansion for tine week. amounting to 1,209, 900. 900 francs. It is not altogether a healthy sign for currency expansion must keep pace.
 The French people have an aver sion to taxation, which is a trait not peculiarly French, but they have thus far been able to arrange their fi- nancing so as to escape with a mini mum of taxation in comparison with what the other war countries are un- dergoing. Their expectation has been that German separations would straighten things out for them, but so far they have been out of luck in that regard. Dilution of the cur rency can hardly be avoided under present conditions but in that way lies disaster. The French fiscal pol icy will be watched with interest in the coming months.
 There was considerable talk of the possibility of motor mergers during the coming year. Large concerns have been reducing prices, which, while decreasing the percentage of profit, has made it possible to in crease actual profits through the Ivoluine of sales. The smaller con- cerns have been obliged to meet this competition, but their volume of sales, while it has increased, has not been sufficient to overcome the loss | in percentage of profits, manufactur- l ing costs having remained practi- cally unchanged.

MORE DIRIGIBLE VICTIMS FOUND
Wireless Message Reports Discovery Of Wreckage

PARIS. Jan. 3.-A wireless message from Marseilles states that observa-' tion balloons have located the wreck of the French naval airship, Dixmude, off the Sicilian coast.
 The message states that the Dix nude lies about 130 feet under warter off Cape San Marcos, four miles from Sciacca, Sicily, and states that war ships are proceeding to the spot to inspect the wreck.
 Dispatches report the discovery of the bodies of two members of the airship's crew, said to have been found east of Sciacca.
 confirmation of the report.
 The ministry of marine has received no confirmation of this report, but announces that an aluminium tank. evidently from the Dixmude. has been found off Cape San Marcos, and that the commander of the French cruiser Mulhouse, which is searching for the wreck, confirms the report that the Dixmude fell some- where off Sciacca.
 The tank found shows signs of having been through a fire. The commander of the Mulhouse has also reported finding other charred debris in the vicinity.
