Comfortable Beam of New
Buick Headlights Aiding
in Accident Prevention

Traffic experts and automotive en-
gineers, believe that the comfortable
beam from Buick headlights will do
more to prevent ordinary road acci-
dents than any invention since the
automobile came into general use.
BY its use night driving strain, the
blind insecurity when a driver dims
to keep glare out of his eyes from
ain approaching car, has been COM
pletely eliminated.
Daytime visibility is given every
inch of the way. Through this i'm
pfovement the driver is given bright
but controlled lights all the time. 1t
is these features of safety that engin-
eers have been lauding since the in
Induction of the new Buick.

The shipments arriving last week
were all sample cars and the entire

So great has been the demand for the
new car that dealers in the west are
just receiving their demonstrators.
However, Mr.. Smith received word
today that a carload of the closed
cars had been shipped to him and
would arrive shortly. He also expects
that production will soon reach the
state where he can again carry a
supply.
Pleasing lines, with wider and
longer seats, curtains that open with
the doors are the most evident

the car, many improvements and

most commented upon was the lower

At the present time none of the
western colleges--nor, IN fact, insti-

cater to the general public for pa
tronage. The demands of untergradu-
ates and alumni in most cases cannot
be met.
Wisconsin men estimate that they
could draw 5000 spectators at the
preliminary season games at Madison
and from 10000 to $1,000 at the regu-

um at Madison does not begin to
offer adequate seating accommoda-

except at Michigan.

who wish to attend basket ball
games. the sport. which just about
pays for itself under present con-

producer and materially relieve foot
ball of some of the burden it now
bears as a supporter of the general
athletic esta blishment.

trend away from the old gymnasium
idea toward the field house with it's
large indoor Cinder track. it's clay
