uestlon: Why is
a used Buick the
next best buy to a
new Buick?
UlSWer: Because the cor
rectness of Buick design and the
quality of Buick manufacture are not
altered by use. A used Buick is a
better investment than many new
cars of other makes.

BUICK MOTOR COMPANY, FLINT, MICHIGAN
When better automobiles are built, Buick will build them
Crossing through seas of mud
that mired cars of more cylinders
and greater horse-power In hob
deep Kumlo, Mrs. E. K. Allen, of
Los Angeles, California, and her
3 4-year old son, Gordon, hold the
distinction of bulnn the flrnt trans
continental motorists to drive an
Overland fill from Toledo til the
Tacific Cast.
Heavy Spring rains pelt d down
constantly while the tan punned
tjirough Ohio, Missouri and Colo
rado and Mrs. Allen exports that
any number of cars had to be pul
led out of the mud not once but
four and five times. At one place
In Missouri they were one of a
parade of 14 cars held up for five
and a half hours because a truck
was stuck In a sua of mud.
"After leaving La Junta." wri
tes Mrs. Allen of her experience,
we came upon 35 miles of frtmhly
graded road, which had been con
verted Into a veritable, bog after
a thunder and lightning storm.
Our car wus overtaken by a group
of garage men In a specially-geared
car who were going (Nit to
tow in a car. Them men follow
ed the Overland Hix for mlhvs, ex
pecting us to get stuck, but we
were able to disappoint thmn and
win their unstinted admiration."
The car, which had Just been
taken out of ttve factory at To
ledo, averaged more than fifteen
miles per gallon of gas on this
trip. luhigh average on good
roads was miles per gallon,
but heavy pulling in lower gear
through the mud, held down the
iHJcord for the total trip.
Mrs. A lion hIho has many kind
words to say about the assistance
received from Willys-Overland
dealers en route.
"In short, my son and I want
to take this opportunity of ex
presHlng our sincere appreciation
of the very remarkable service
and courtesy extended to us
everywhere by the Willys-Overland
organization. It certainly
must be a great comfort to cross
cunt ry travelers In Overland and
Willys-Knight cars to know that
behind th'elr cars stanCs such a
splendid and efficient organiza
tion. I feel that no better proof
of Its capability, as well as the
merit of the car la the fuct that
a lady and her 14-year old on
were able to negotiate successful
ly such a trip as we have just
concluded in one of the most in
clement seusons of the year. My
sincere thanks to you all for a
wonderful experience!"

Pointer for Thote
Who Seek Knowledge
Onea upon a tinie, according to an
old story, a young man went to Boc-
rates, the Ureek philosopher, ana
old : "Kir, 1 come to you In search
of knowledge. I bava heard much
about you. and have eouie a lung
way to Hod you. Will you not UU
ma bow 1 cun sain knowledge?"
Socrates said. "Follow me." Tba
vouch followed Socrates to a body of
water and wus surprised to see him
wade Into it mi to bis waist. He fol
lowed hliu aud Socrates grunped him
by the nnu unci bead and thrust bla
bead under the water. He held hlra
there until It aevmed the youth
must surely perish. He drugged
blm to the shore and waited for the
youth to eatcb bla breath; then
said : "My boy, what did you most
desire when I held your head un
der the water?"
The youth replied: "Air.
Socrates sold: "Co your way and
remember that when you want
knowledge as much as you wanted
air when you were under water,
you will get it. Forbes Magazine.
One Place Where Rat
Not Thought Pett
A deity whose name la Oanesha
la worshiped by the Hindus.
Because Uanesha Is always pic
tured riding on a rut or attended
by one, the rat receives part of the
homage directed to the god. For
this reason many rats live in state
In the temple at Deshnoke, India,
where there ia an old and Interest
ing shrine erected to this mythologi
cal god.
Pilgrims prostrate themselves be
fore a group of ruts, which have no
Idea of life beyond that of eating
everything available and keeping a
oafe distance from eats and hawks.
But they represent the rat god.
(iunesha, and the temple in which
they live la sucred on account of
their presence. It is even culled
"the Hut Temple."
According to Hindu mythology
flaneshu wus the lord of the tiunas,
who were a group of Inferior deities.
(ianeaha removes obstacles. He Is
propitiated at the beginning of any
undertaking. He Is particularly en
dowed with wisdom and Judgment.
Scholar$ on Strike
Strikes are not a modern trouble.
One of the earliest and oddest
strikes on record Is that which took
place In Oxford, England, in I'.'lit),
when, In consequence of a pecullurly
outrageous aggression of town upon
gown, musters and -scholars to the
number of H.tJOO "downed tools" anil
retired In high dudgeon to adjacent
centers of learning. The schools
were closed, the city was laid under
an Interdict, and the trouble only
ended five years later In the com
plete humiliation of the erring bur
gesses, who were compelled to do
public penance and accord large priv
ileges to the university. When the
offended clerks finally condescended
to return, these "blacklegs," who
bad continued to lecture In defi
ance of the will of the majority,
were punished by three years' sus-penslon.
Early Adding Machine
That the ancient Incn rlvlllzntlon
in l'orti possessed nn adding and
calculating machine has been re
vealed in the recent discovery by
excavators of a knotteil cord, or
"qulpl," In the ruins of a prehistoric
tomb. The cord is sixteen yards
long nnu contains Its) knots. Ill
vlded Into . ten unequal sections
these knots represent the odd num
bers from one to nineteen. The
sections are of different colors. In
cluding red, brown, yellow, blue and
green, und are separated by sliver
heuils, which represent the even
numbers from two to twenty. Ity
using this simple way of counting,
based nn the decimal system, rapid
calculations can be nmde.Mon

How Cannon Are Spiked
In former times when the old
fashioned type of cannon was used
the guns were disabled by driving
an Iron spike Into the ocnlng at
the breech through which tire was
communicated to the powder. This
wus caiieii "spiking ' the cannon.
It was done when It was necessary
to leave the guns behind, to prevent
their Immediate use by the enemy.
Such disablement wsa usually only
temporary. The phrase, however,
Is retained In modem military
usage. Spiking a etinnon nowadays
means breaking or carrying away
part of the breech mechanism, mak
ing It Impossible to use the gun
without considerable repair. Exchange.
Beggarf Trade Union
In China one of the most formi
dable trade unions Is that of the beg
gars. Hogging In that country Is a
recognized profession, and there Is
a proerly organized guild of beg
gars In most districts.
Ksch guild has hs own president
and officers, and the members pny
an annual subscription equaling
nbout M In our money. The offi
cials of the guilds wield such now
er that they enjoy the proiectlnn of
the magistracy.
So fur there has been no strike on
the part of the members of this
union, nbli-ti Is undoubtedly the
quaintest organisation of Its kind lu

Auto camping has without a
doubt well earned its place at the
top of the list as tba greatest of
all outdoor recreations, here Is
no substitute for auto camping as
It offers a wide variety of diver
sion suitable for all membera of
the family. Take the - average
American family for example
no two want to go the same place
or do the same thing. Dad wants
to spend his vacation fishing; mo
ther neds relief from the daily
drudge and the hot kitchen, so
chooses the mountains; brother
wants a hunting place, and sister
chooses the sea shore. The an
swer? Take them all auto camp
ing! The great trouble with many
auto vacations Is the fact that the
tourist returns more fatigued than
renter and it ia to be the sole
purpose of tbls series of articles
to aid tire vacationist In making
his trip a anccess. Here are a
few of the problems that will be
worked out during the series:

is no best all -around equipment,
but a certain style for every Indi
vidual party and trip. (Well cover
the equipment question.
Portable Furniture: Have you
ever met tourists with a set of
bed springs strapped to the top
and a real refrigerator on the side'
of tire car? The portable furni
ture problem will be solved.
Practical clothing:- A crochet
ed boudoir cap may be all right
In a bedroom, but It looks terrible
In an auto camp. "Funny paper"
styles are not desirubie for the
camper, practical clothing is
needed. ,
When Do We Eat? In many
sections of the country this sea
son, open fires are prohibited.
Here's a real problem to be solv
ed. Laundry Facilities: That's
right, you forgot all about lira
laundry when you started, out on
the trip. We'll work that one out
too.
Insects, Bugs, etc: How do
you manage to keep mosquitoes
away when camping near a river.
There's another problem, to be
' solved.
