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."

A very original attempt at suicide is reported. A man pre- sented himself in a Warsaw police station and declared that he took part in the derailing of a pássen- ger train, near Stargard, in the Polish Corridor, in which over thirty people were killed. He was arrested and sent to Thorn, and on investigation it was estab lished that he had nothing to do with the matter. Eventually the man confessed that, finding him- self in a hopeless situation, he decided to commit suicide by "being sentenced to death and executed for other people's crime."
