Full-Blooded Alaskan

ANCITORAQ, Alaska Aug. 4.
Within 'a few decades fall -blooded
natives along the riouthwestoTn
eoast of Alaska will be scarce, ac
cording to Charles Coach., who has
spent much time in the lower
Cook Inlet country.
The- squaws refuse to marry
full-blooded men because, the
white men are better, providers
and offer better opportunities for
eoclal advancement, Mr. C6ach
explained. Only theeducated na

Many Radical Changes in

For some time Dame Rumor has
been pretty jusy passing along in

Buick models .would be like.,. As
usual,, .the Dame - was , mostly
wrong. :rue,.tha neW Buicks. Just
unveiled to the public, prove to ha
sensational both, j as to advanced
engineering and' body design, but
carfely along the lines that the
loqacioua Dame bad bo freely pre
dicted. : ' . '' . , .... - , . -
Those of jnotordoin who have
beep accustomed j each year to ex
pect a great deal of Buick 'are in
no wise disappointed. .Confront
ed in the show room by a huge
poster detailing- a formidable list
of "new. features, they had only
to turn tothe fcassi to yerify lt4
claims in. every, instance. -i
'A re-designed six cylinder mo
torof course. being -Buick it 13
valve-in-head new - four- wheI
brakes just ! as : distinctively
Buiok; increased wheel base-r-eonsequently
more room; an ln
genius new carburetor with simple
arrangement ' for quick heat ad
justment; complete automatic lu-,
brication; new springs;, new axles
heavier frames. These are some :
of the literally scores of new fea
tures noted in the sixes. And
many of theseiapply to' the fours,
including the. tour wheel brakes.
' The Aev six cylinder engine oi
80 to 70 horsepower, is a big story
la. itself, the -hrakes another, -Aody
design another, refinements and
equipment i anQther. ? Through
adoption, .of newly designed , cams
and ; a heavier, crankshaft, unus
ual quiet in operation has been
attained, which - adds one more
element to - the' notable power,
speed And. smoothness of .operation
attained .without a single sacrifice !
of Buick . principles. All this Is
evolutionary rather than xevolu-.
tionary. while entirely, consistent
with past Buick practice. V
Buick assures us that there is
nothing experimental .. (about the
Buick ' four wheel brakes, they
being merely an extension to all
wheels of the successful external
brakes formerly employed on the
rear : wheels. The change requir
ed, of course.' a. new and heavier
front axle and front wheels, but
no other chasis revision of conse
quence. The final approval of
these brakes was made after a
year's study in Turope of foreign
design and more than 150,000
miles of. toad tests in this jcofrntry.
Demonstrations prove that .these
brakes, operated by the light pres
sure of a foot pedal, will stop the
car at least . twice as quickly as
formerly and reduce to a minimum
the possibility of skidding. On
the whole they, without question,
constitute one of the crucial ad
vances in the history of Buick en
gineering. ' .'
The new body design immedi
ately ;! impresses the visitor as' un-,
commonly graceful and beautiful,
without being in any sense freak
ish. The radiator and ' hood: are
sugestive of the best. foreign de
sign, than .on the sixes being fully
nickeled, on the fours enameled.
The headlights, with non-glare
lenses, are of new and handsome
contour, and, in noticeable har
mony, the instruments on the operating-board
and the tail lights
are of the same shape. Both sixes
and Jtours have a flush type ventl-'
lator in the cowL v.'i
On . the .various sixes the wheel
base has been - lengthened .from
two to four inches, affording much
more room, nl the larger-cars.'
the auxiliary seats are four Inches
wider and afford riding tor three
persons. In fact, the so-called
seven-passenger . models can ac
commodate nine persons if neces
sary; -W-'-' Vv, - ,'- -.
v There are 10 body models, .on
the 8ix cylinder chassis and -four
body models on the four cylinder
chassis. Of these, three types are
new in the 1924 line. These are
a five-passenger Brougham .tour
ing sedan and another five-passenger
sedan designated as the "Dou
ble Service" - both - sixes, and a
tour - cylinder ' four passenger i
coupe.: - -'"
It is a great surprise to note j
the custom quality of finish:, ap
pointment and equipment in all
of the closed models. - Nothing
seems to be lacking to provide
the utmost comfort in riding and
driving ease, as well as . in plea
sure to the , eye and sense of re
finement. It ' isv imposlblse to do
even the justice to this line that
a complete listing of the hew ad
vantages announced would - dp,
owing to lack of space. '
Great crowds have visited Ott,o
J. Wilson's showrooms during the
last four days and "have you seen
the new Buick?" seems to be on
everybody's Hps f; '
