was, “This Is America.” So often,
he said, we take this grand heritage
of ours for granted, because we in
herited it without paying the price
our forefathers paid. We must work
to preserve it. Sometimes the moral
fibre of our nation seems to bo
weakening, and we must keep up a
steady fight to prevent any further
lessening of morals and ideals.

N o, we didn’t have to build anew engine.
We took Buick’s valve-in-head Fireball
Engine—which makes the most of high com
pression. We drew on 12 patient years of
Buick carburetion research.
And we came up with more might, more
miles, from gas-right out of thin air, in more
ways than one .
When you talk about “miles per gallon” you
think of fuel, because that’s what you buy.
But air’s free-and for every gallon of gaso
line, a busy engine can gulp more than 8,000
gallons of air.
The problem is to deliver air in the right
proportions, throughout the full range of
speeds at wjiich you drive.
A carburetor—big enough to supply the air
needed at full throttle-can be wasteful in
stop-and-go driving. A carburetor sized for
thrift in city traffic literally smothers your
engine when you really give it the gun.
So Buick engineers developed the Airpower
carburetor —a four-barrel automatic —and
here’s how it works.
Loafing along, two barrels are working,
two stav closed. And vou £et a low-speed
THREE WORLD WAR I
SOLDIERS HAVE REUNION
Three members of the old Bth
Field Artillery of World War I had
a grand reunion during the weekend
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold
G. Brown.
Two of Mr. Brown’s war buddies,
Mr. Marcus Hopkins of Piggott, Ar
kansas, and Mr. James Collins of
Carthedge, Indiana, surprised him
with a visit. These three entered the
service when volunteers were called
for and trained at Ft. Sill, Okla., and
Camp Wheeler, Ga. and were sent
overseas together. The last time they
were together was in France in 1918.
Mr. Brown had lost contact with
both of them until last fall when
Mr. Hopkins began to reminisce on
Armistice Day. He wrote to the post
master at Jackson and through him
learned each were still living. Mr.
Hopkins and Mrs. Collins had been
in contact with each other.
All the good old days and mem
ories were brought back in this hap
py reunion, and the joys of the last
weekend will never be forgotten by
these three old soldiers.
PERSONAL
Friends of Mrs. J. T. Bray of Flo
villa are glad that she continue to im
prove after a recent illness.
Lieut, and Mrs. Richard Watkins
were dinner and theater guests of
Senator Vincent Jones, and Mrs.
