THE BUICK MODEL "50"

LIMOUSINE SEDAN.

10:

Combining the qualities of a chauffeur-driven car with those of a closed car for family use, the Buick Limousine Sedan is a distinctive addition to the Buick line for 1924. It is another evidence of Buick's polley of furnishing a car for the majority of motoring needs.

The one-piece curved glass that separates the driving compart- ment from the tonneau can be lowered completely out of sight.by simply turning a small handle on the back of the front seat. The car is then converted into a Sedan for the use of the owner or members of the family.

"In years to come, Eisemann predicts," the campaign literature of candidates for office will con- tain among the pre-election pro- mises assurances that the new man or woman, if alected, will supply better broadcasting than his or her predecessor.”

SHANGHAI'S NEW STATION.

Arrangements between the Federal Telegraph Company of Delaware and the Chinese Depart- ment of Communications for the erection of a large wireless station near Shanghai are nearing com- pletion. The first materials for the construction work are expect ed to arrive at Shanghai within two months.

Reports that the Chinese Gor- ernment had decided to pro pose joint control of wireless enterprises ia this country

to the United States And Japan have been circulated re- cently but are absolutely without foundation. China has never pro- posed and does not desire such control, nor would the proposal be acceptable to the Caited States.

She bought a crystal. for ten cents (gold currency) a condenser for fiveand allow. ed three cents for safety pins and cardboard to build her set. It works, too. Of course, that doesn't allow for headset, aerial and other wiring- which mounts the cost.
