BUICK MODELS
POPULAR WITH
AUTO OWNERS.

FLINT. Mich, Nov. o5.-Thc Sev-
en- Buick models comprising the
series 1l5 group. which was intro
duced into the Buick line less than
four years ago. is finding particu-
larlv ready acceptance among the
fast growing ranks of two-car own
efs, {. W. Churchill. general sales
manager of the Buick Motor Com
rany, announced this week. Mr..
Churchill was discussing the Amerf-
can family'S increasing recogni.
tion of its need for more than one
automobile. ~s
Dealers reports, Mr.. Churchill
said. indicate that a surprising pro
portion of the series 115 models
sold during Buick $ recoyd- breaking
past three months were bought by
owners who already possessed one
or moro Of the series 120 or series
12S models. Buick : retail sales for
the peeriod between June 80 ana
Oct. l, totalled s2,955, of which
approximately half were of series
115.
Credit for the immediate success
of the series 115 Bucks is given by
dealers to the one-quality policy
governing construction of the entire
Buick Line. Though designed to
the requirements of the driver who
prefers somewhat lighter car
than the 120 inch and 12S inch
wheclbase Bucks. the seven models
of the 11415 inch wheelbase are
identical with the others in quality
OF material. in workmanship, and
in engineering details.
'This fact > said Mr.. Churchill,
'has made our series 1l5 ears popu-
lar among owners who have long de-
rived satisfaction from the larger
Bucks. 1t is only natural that
when need for n second ear arises,
they turn again to Buick. Besides
assuring themselves of reliable
transportation, they secure added

vieing, through use of two or more
ears of the same make.

UNCLE SAM AND

LENCLEN MONEY

PARIS, Feb. 3-The French gov

lect $4,000 in income tax from Su-
zanne Lenglen, French Tennis star,
provided, of course, that she makes
her reported profit of 100000 from
professional tennis matches in the
United States.
Mile. Lenglen, who has been tour
ing the United States under G. G..
Pyle, will have to meet the large
bill under the French law, although
she may have to pay still more to
American tax collectors.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-Suzanne
Lenglen probably will have to pay
American as well as French income
taxes on her professional earnings
as income of aliens in this country
is subject to the same tax rates as
income of citizens.
If Suzanne earned 100000 last
year as reported, she NAV have to
pay from $4,000 to $4,000 of it
to Uncle Sam. This in addition to
the reported $4,000 French levy,
would take from her more than one
half of the total revenue of her
racquet.
