Xoir, -when th automobile is more than ever an essential public utility, every motor car is an effective national resource radiating "line? of transportation" which relieve traffic, conserve personal efficiency and promote the general good. For th business executive it simplifies daily routine, enabling him to earry out his program with least -waste of time and energy. The farmer, urged to produce more, has found the ownership of a motor car a national duty as well as a personal convenience, enabling him to negotiate distance under all road conditions. Th Buick car is a favorite in all lines of action because modern demands Kie answered by the success of Buick building, it economy of upkeep and dependable hardihood in service. The past nx years has taught us as agents that it is impossible to get Buick cars in the summer. Now is the time to buy, when we have a full line for tout selection.

fBr r.viTED Pr.rss NEW TORK. April 13. The main reason for strength in the Ctnc'r.natl Keds thts year is not that the IteJs are etronger than last year, but that the strongest clubs of a. yer ago have deteriorated to some degree. That this is true of the New Tork Giants cannot be doubted. The. loss of Charley Ilerzog and ths appointment of Larry Doyle as his successor, both as f.eld leader and as the second baseman of the club amounts to a lops of strength. Where th club gains in added batting power It loses aggressiveness and base running. Tt gains nothing in baseball brains, for thera are no smarter baseball players than IJerzop, with all hi lack of pleasin? personality. The Giants also have pone back In pitching effectiveness. Where they were strongly fortified a. year ago with a trio of the fame's bst teft banders they have a slipping- staff this year, bolstered only by the acquisition of Jess Barnes. And Parnes cannot supply the void left by Sa!le's lost effectiveness, and Benton's weakness. Schupp has rounded into form slowly this year. He is a cold weather e'ar. however, and should have another great year. The main punch In tho Giants this year is In heavy hitt'r.g-. which will be somewhat trimmed through the loss of Davey Robcrtsnn. Neither Wilhoit nor Thorpe measures up to Robertson as a hitter, and only Thorpe is his equal as a fielder. Wilhoit' though his pinchhitting; last season was excellent. Put. where the Reds gain th roil grit the Giant's loss of power they also meet renewed strength in the Cubs. Tt is the Chicago team and not the New York aggregation which promises to mak.' the going hard for the Reds. The Cardinals, also, will be in the fight with n ore vim, for they now know their strength. The winter's changes, however, are rot to be denied. The Rcda have come through them stronger tiian t lie I r rivals. They look the best.
