cars exhibited ALBERT ERSKINE
at the automobile shows will
themselves demonstrate these
achievements and create new buy
ing urge in the markets.
Many of the existing cars, num-
bering 100000 practically worn
out, must be replaced in 1882
through sheer necessity, if nor
NAL transportation requirements
are to be met. Over 10000, 600
passenger cars and 5000, 900 com.
mercial cars now operate in
America. moving people and
goods back and forth. mostly
bent on business. Only motor
cars can do this work because
horses are gone from our streets
and roads.
Is the United States a 10000
600 car country, or are we
100000 car country as some
economists suggest? Out of the
5000, 900 cars and trucks over
seven years old and now in use,
how many must be replaced in
1882 because of obSoleScence? }?
How many people who own them
will be able to buy new cars? Con.
sideration of these questions in
terests the automobile industry.
The outcome will determine the
degree and extent of its opera
tions in 1882, and inevitably bear
directly upon the business pros
perity Of the country as a whole.
BY making 1882 new cars bet
ter than ever, the industry has
made a determined effort to
stimulate new buying and re-
placement. to the greatest posi-
BILE extent. and thereby contri-
butte it's part to the dissipation of
the general depression. On top of
replacement due to obsolescence.
there is the normal replacement
arising from the seductive appeal
of mechanical improvement and
style. Additionally. there is al
ways some new buying.
For these reasons, therefore, I
expect the total volume of bust
ness in 1892 will show a substan-
tial increase in our domestic
market. Export sales are an un-
known quantity because of ad-
verse financial and political con-
ditions in many important for
eign markets.

LARGE vARIET
IN BUCKS 'S26
. NEW MODELS

Celebrating its twenty-eighth
year Of continuous motor-car
building, Buick for 1882 offers the
greatest variety Of models, the
most advanced styling and COM
fort and the widest price range
IN its history. The new Buick
eights are presented in 26 models,
grouped in four series, each series
built on a different wheelbase.
Every type of car that the pres
ent-day motorist may require is
represented in the line.
Engineering features that mark
q new trend in automobile opera
ton, as we'll as luxurious new
Fisher bodies, give the Buick ex-
hibit brilliance that is the high
spot of the show, according to
C. w. Churchill, general sales
manager Of the Buick Motor
Company.
Every car in the line has
Bucks new Wizard Control, re-
sulting from the automatic clutch,
free wheeling and silent-Second
Syncro-meSh transmission. All of
them have as standard equipment
or may be equipped with Bucks
ride regulator, that gives smooth
riding on rough roads. They have
Bucks engine oil temperature
regulator, which adds immeasur
ably to the life of the engine;
the new instrument panel that
groups all instruments to the
left, under the drivers eye, and
many other advancements.
Then, too, all of them have
the new Buick valve-in,head
straight eight engine, famous for
its power and long life, with in
creased horsepower in the smaller
series and higher overall per-
formance in ali series.
The small cars of the Buick
line are the $3.50 series, built
on the 114-inch wheelbaSe. There
are eight models in this series
including a new 5-passenger vic
toria coupe and a 5-paSsenger
convertible phaeton of unusually
smart lines. The Buick eight
engine for this series develops
1874 horsepower with standard
compression and 821a with high
compression.
In the $3.50 series, built on the
1lSinch wheelbase, there are
seven models. In design and fin.
tSh these cars are almost identi.
cal with the bigger models and
represent one of Bucks best
values The $3.50 series engine
delivers 80 horsepower with stand
ard compression, high compression
increasing this to 96 horsepower
The 5000 and 1920 de luxe
models differ only in number of
models and wheelbase length
There are two models in the $3.50
series, both on the 126-inch wheel.
base-a roomy, finely appointed
tlve-passenger sedan and a smart
five-paSsenger traveller coupe with
built-in trunk. The 1920 series
on the 134-inch wheelbase offers
nine models and gives the utmost
in motor-car luxury. Both OF
these series have Bucks new
104horsepower motor. BY adopt
ing the optional offer of high
compression this horsepower can
be increased to 113.
The beauty Of these new Bucks
never fails to impress Mr.. Church
i'll says. The brilliant styling with
the new 10-degree sloping wind
shield, the generous use of chro.
MUM plating. the long, flowing
body lines, easy contours, slender
radiator shell and racy, sweeping

Chrome beaded radiator shutters
and dual trumpet-shaped horns

each fender. enhance the rear
and give, as well. better night pro.

D. c. HEADS ANSWER
SHEPARD ACT DEMAND
Commissioners Deny Failure to En-
force Old Liquor Law-Ask
Actions Dismissal.

The District Commissioners today
filed answer to the suit of John r.
Mahoney for mandatory injunction
requiring them to put into operation
the provisions of sections 319 to 342 Of
the Shepard act, which preceded the
Volstead law in the regulation of the
sale of liquor. The Commissioners
also asked the court to dismiss the
suit.
They deny they have failed or neg
lected to enforce the provisions Of Sec
tons 331 and $40 with the exception
of so much of section $40 as relates to
the operation of a motor vehicle by an
individual under the influence of in
toxicating liquor. This latter charge is
now prosecuted under the traffic law of
1925. the court is advised. The VOL
stead act has repealed the other sec
lions and that enactment is being en-
forced by them, the Commissioners say.
In the motion to dismiss the proceed
ing the Commissioners assert that Ma
honey fails to show any fact that would
entitle him to bring the proceeding and
1t is beyond the power of the court, it
is claimed, to enter a decree to control
the general and continuous course of
official conduct. They also point out
that the Commissioners are clothed with
discretion in the matter of the enforce
ment of statutes which the court may
not control.
Corporation Counsel Bride and As
sistant Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West appear for the Commissioners.
