So the popularity of these good old fash ioned dances Ja coming back fast. In selecting his orchestra for playing old fashiont-d dance mus ic, Henry Ford chose a somewhat unusual combination of instru mentsi extremely ancient ones, the dulcimer and the eymbalom. a modern bass horn, the sousaphone. and a violin.

And the past year has witnessed one of the outstanding achievements in automotive his tory the 'perfection of the eight-in-line motor. .A year! ago, .one heard little about the eight-in-line outside of engineering circles.: In 1924. pro duction barely exceeded 5000. During 1925, approximately 43, 000 eight-in-line cars were pro: duced. And further increases can confidently be expected during the coming year. .

Why the quite remarkable in crease In-the number of eight-inline automobiles i purchased " in 1925t?s, r Purchased" rather than If thje car struggles and has generally a hard time of it, so does tlie driyer. With an eigh-in-line you relax your grip on the steer ing wheel and think more of the scenery than of the means of your transportation. You don't try to push ; the accelerator pedal through the floor board on a steep hill. . ! Any speed you drive at semsllike twenty miles less. Look otit when you approach small tAwns1 after driving 4 5 or 50 or more. ; You observe the 15 or 20 mile warning signs at the village limits and dutifully slow down to xhat you estimate to be about the prescribed . speed. Then look at your, sjpeedometer! It will tell you that you are still going any where from 10 to 20 miles too fst. Tfou have no idea how slow 5 milfs an hour really is until jlou hate driven 60 in an eight-in line. ! 1 , A GOOD Tl'TOlt Mrs. Hasel: "What dreadful language your parrot uses!" Mrs. Knutt: "Yes.

Smooth running from the Co Automatic Heat Control is an exclusive Buick feature. Faster steering Buick' s 5 -control-surface steering gear is the most expensive and mosf effi cient type today.

The "Sealed Chassis' lowers operating costs by en closing every operating psrt inside a dirt-proof, oil-tight housing, while "Triple Seals" cLose every engine point of entry to dirt and tlie wear dirt causes.
