Some Pertinent Facts About
Valve-in-Head Motors
The motor Is the most Intricate and ex
Pensive sinsle factor In the construction of
an automobile, representing in round num-
ters one-uunrter of the cost of the finished
product. With an electric self-starter It
represents even more. So much for money
worth. In point of service possibilities and
general satisfaction, the motor represents
more nearly ,5 per cent of any automobile's
value. The Buick Valve-ln-llead motor Is
guaranteed to have more speed, more pow
er and to be more economical In fuel con
sumption than any other type of motor ever
DUUL '
The Buick motor Is old In principle, mod
ern In design. It Is the refined product of
an engineering; department that accepts
only well-tried-out princlpes in material
Ideas and contrivances before adapting
mem to a Buick car.
Buick engineering has been the founds
tion of Buick success. That is why famous
Huicks In the past have, been winners in
every contest in which they were entered.
That Is why the modern Buick Valve-ln-
Head motor produces and delivers to the
rear axle 16 per cent more power than any
other type of motor of similar cylinder dis
placement. Buick Valve-In-Head motors are depend
able, that is why Buick cars always acquit
themselves with fame in all contests. That
is why every winner in the American classic
at Indianapolis last year was equipped with
Valve-in-Head motors.
The world's leading designers of gas mo
tors unanimously agree that the Valve-In-Head
type motor produces from 15 to 20
per cent more power than any other type.
This means not only greater power but
more of it per gallon from fuel consumed.
The question of fuel economy Is of vital
Interest to car owners, and to car operators.
The Buick Valve-in-Head motor accom
plishes this saving of fuel by consuming all
of the gas, and by keeping itself constantly
clean, scavenging the carbons and waste
gases, thus delivering the full aim.unt of en
ergy contained In the fuels.

Oscar Wells, Dallas: We are now

A. Kalns, San Francisco: The bus

prospect that high prices will con
tinue Is good. Up to date weather

Charles M. Sawyer, Kansas City:

Germany is the birthplace of dyes

manufacturers have been obliged to
withdraw heavy colored cottons, like
denims, which, requlrs large quanti

A IIATtROlt SONG.
(By Kenneth Rand.)
There's a schooner In the offing,
with the sunset in; her sails
.She's black as death across the west
where slow the splendor falls;
There's an evil wind from out the
east that backs against the
day,
But she's shaking out her head sails
for the saunter down the bay.
There's a trail of ruddy cloth-of-gold
that runs t6 meet the Sun,
The path Is plain before her, but her
. road Is never done;
She may not stay for prize or pay, for
love or law or hire,
When she harks to old Ulysses in his
, Islands of Desire. '
"O the hills that fade behind her
know the touch of fairy feet,
The pipes of Pan are lilting clear
fromi field to village street;
And Spring Is In the orchard -row,
though saddened hearts may
break-
But she's dropping down, the harbor
with her shadow on her wake.
