and so are bearings, pistons, and
pins, while greater attention than
ever before has been paid to their
balancing as a single working unit.
Buick lays special stress on this bal
ancing of engine parts, because long
study has proved that this, rather
than more cylinders or bearings, is
the true answer TO the problem of
operating smoothness. And not con-
tent to merely balance the power plant,

Complete Change In
Silver Anniversary
Models Announced
By Buick Company

Buick swings into its twenty-fift
year b. operation this week, with the
Introduction Of the Silver Anniver-
sary Buick, its new car for 1929.
Tremendous advances in beauty,
style and comfort, as we'll as in ev-
cry item affecting performance,
combine to make the Silver Anniver-
sary Buick an automobile new and
totally different from anything the
public has known.
Taking as n nucleus Bucks IA
nous six-cylinder valve-in-head en-
CINE, torque tube drive, sealed chas-
sis, cantilever springs, double drop
frame and mechanical fourewheel
brakes, Buick engineers have re-
fined and improved these units, and
created around them a motor car of
radiant beauty and dashing style, a
car which Is easy TO operate and
comfortable to ride in, and finally,
one which is said to out-perform.
under all conditions, not only its
W predecessors but any other car
within hundreds of dollars Of its
price.
Outstanding departures from con-
vention will be found in the new and
daring treatment of body lines, the
dazzling new colors in l~ustrous
Duco, and the lavish use Of enduring
chromium, which serves TO differ
entiate the car sharply, even az first
glance, from other automobiles Of
today. Less apparent to the casual
eye, but no less vital, is the enlarg-
ed and improved power plant which
provides Sn unsounded reservoir Of
energy for any and all needs.
There is no car now on the road
TO which the new Buick may re com
pared. a fact which makes descrip-
tion difficult. However, among the
innovations affecting its appearance
may be listed the gentle swelling
Of the body, just below the windows,
which are gracefully arched across
their tops where they were formerly
straight; a complete blending Of the
side and roof lines in an altogether
pleasing curve which Is carried
around the sides and rear Of the car:
graceful new radiator emphasizing
the curve motif further; new one
piece front fender and extra long
and deep rear tenders. new running
board bound on all four sides IN
aluminium and shaped along its outer
edge 70 harmonic with the body
lines; and new full-finished rear end

The GoinR.0ut Craze.

"What's the matter with me?" asked
Mona. "You know I used to be as
popular as any girl who went to school
with me. And had nice boys to play
around with. too. Every one Of them
came from good family and had good
manners"
"Well. you're still popular" I re-
minded her not without malice.
Eyes, I'm popular, but with whom.
Why. 7 can't bear the boys I 60 out
with now. They drive me crazy. But
I've got to 60 somewhere. I've got
to have some fun. I'm not going to
stick at home every night OF my life.
I can't bear It. Only I know as we'll

you know. Mona's really quite nice.
She isn't wild. She doesn't In the least
care for the usual attractions OF q WHO
party.
She's pretty, q wonderful dancer.
sparkling and witty. When she flrst
came out every man in the town seemed
to be crazy about her. What caused
the slide down?
Well. despite these virtues you see
Mona Is the victim of the going -out
craze. She's wild for excitement, for
night clubs, theaters and dances.
Something In her blood demands con-
slant entertainment and excitement.
That's what started the trouble. The
nice boys in her crowd after taking
her out once or twice thought 1t might
be pleasant to have quiet evening
at her home with her now and then.
Steve called her up one night and
asked for a date. Love to go any
where" Mona assured him jubilantly.
MY feet are just itching for dance
floor. Where shall We go?"
steve hesitated, Thought maybe
we'd have a quiet evening in front OF
the fire." he suggested. Last nights
party wore me out. I want TO get home
early tonight And you ought to get
some sleep. too, young woman.
"Oh. Steve" Mona dismayed. you
don't want to stay home. Why. I'm
Just in the mood for toot. DO let's
dance somewhere"
Steve gave in, but when he finally
reached home in the wee hours. with an
aching head and weary feet, he decided
that Mona was too strenuous for him.
Also too expensive. II he couldn't
ever expect to see her except at con-
siderable expense and much waste OF
energy and sleep he wouldn't see her
at ALL
All the others came to the same con-
clusion sooner or later. That's why
they went their way. Mona found that
the only companions who would agree
to every-night. all-night parties were
the dizzy young FOUNDERS who hadn't
Jobs ANYWAY. so didn't mind about sleep
ing late in the morning.
What's to be done? Mona ought to
give herself a good rest. She ought
really to try to break herself Of this
going-out habit. It's as bad . habit
as tobacco or drink-it fastens on one
Just firmly. and always wreaks dire
results.
II she will just try to train herself
TO stay peacefully at home a couple of
evenings q week, she may break the
habit
Once she's broken 1t, she won't have
trouble getting the nice boys back
again.

Short Skirts and Draping Trains
BY MARY MARSHALL.

am inclined to believe that the
fashion of trains used In connection
with very short skirts was first pro-
duced by some one of the French dress
makers who make clothes for the We'll
dressed queens.
On more than one occasion Mrs
Coolidge has appeared wearing one OF
these rather Queenly new frockS-wltn

enough to provide q really convincing
train at the back. At the last oiplo-
matte reception she wore thin veivet
gown Of light blue-the v neckine
widely outlined with pearl and crystal
embroidery, a StraSS ornament on tne
hip and two draped panels at the pack
that lay two feet or so on the floor.
A most unusual example OF the new
trained gown comes from the house OF
Paul Carts in Paris-black georgette
over black satin embroidered with black
pailettes, silver and rhinestoneS. Inc

Reddy sat up and looked things over

have been more careful. His tracks in
the snow tell just what he has done.

Now, in the alder swamp on the edge
OF the Green Forest, where the Laugh
ing Brook made its way out TO the
Smiling Pool. there was spring. and
where that spring was there was open
water, save in the very coolest OF the
cold weather. This spring hole. for
that Is what 1t was called. was good
place to watch, for 1t was visited By
various little people. so 1t was toward
this spring-hole that Reddy was making
his way.
AS Reddy drew near he moved very
carefully. Every two or three steps ne
would stop TO look and listen, standing
as motionless as If he were carved from
stone. When he was where he could
get a full view of the spring-hole
feeling Of disappointment crept over
him. No one was there. No one was
anywhere about. Reddy felt that he
had stolen up there for nothing. All
that care he had taken had been wasted.
Now, the snow over there was soft.
Whoever walked In it left a track.
Reddys own footprints might have been
followed all the way down the Laugh

ested. Even so small person as Teeny-

Reddy was using his eyes to see who
else had been over there recently.
When he was near enough TO the
spring hole TO see clearly all around it
he paused. 1T will be just as well not
to leave my own footprints here"
thought Reddy. Il don't want other
folk to be suspicious" So he stopped at
q little distance from the spring hole
