Buick
More Women drive Buicks than any other car because of the striking appearance of this famous motor car. Then comes Buick dependability. A woman knows when she starts out with her Buick that she will "get. there and back." Other reasons are-the comfort in driving a Buick-the velvet clutch action, easy steering; then the power and quietness of Buick's Valve-in-Head engine and the safety of Buick mechanical four-wheel. brakes.

A peculiar incident was brought to light at Vigo when a girl of 18 jumped into the sea. Her act was in consequence of apparently insuperable obstacles to her marriage to a youth who was wrongly registered as a girl at birth. The authorities refused to certify him as anything but a female, and it was thus impossi- ble to obtain the necessary docu ments for the marriage. Two sailors saved the would-be suicide.
