PAGE TWO KIWKM ■>i, w inks Ladies Night Celebrated With • Many Guests Present in Pri vate Hotel Dining Room (Continued from Page 1) representatives from ,all the states, agreed upon Articles of Confed eration for the government of'the states. These articles attempted to define, the powers that were given to the.Tederal authorities. The Ar ticles of Confederation needed but a trial to demonstrate their ineffi ciency. The country had no president or executive and congress was the sole governing body. Congress had no power to levy taxes, nor to regulate commerce between the states, had no authority to punish for violation of its laws, nor power to punish citizens for crimes committed by them. The federal gvernment was im potent and had no control over the states. The stronger states passed laws which ignored the weaker ones and yet there was no way to prevent. Conditions between the states were becoming intolerable, some of them asserting superiority over others while several of them were boastfully claiming they con tributed more towards winning in dependence than others. Discrimna tory tariff laws against each other were being passed by some of the states, and the affairs of the new nation were fast becoming worse than before the Revolution. The statesmen v'ho had success fully guided the affairs of the col oroes during the war became alarmed and saw something had to be done. Benjamin Franklin, the great publicist of the day, publish ed a cartoon of a serpent broken in thirteen pieces and had under it this superscription “Union or Die.” In January, 1786, the legislature of Virginia passed a resolution' ap pointing five commissions and au thorized ehem to confer with com missions that might be appointed by the other states, with the view of correcting the evils existing among the states. A conference was call ed by General George Washington, and many of the leading men of the day.jngt him in the library of his fipDle at Mt. Vernon to consider the situation. After earnest dis cussion General Washington pro posed that a convention be held by the states for the purpose of adopt ing a better plan of union between them; the suggestion coming from the late commander-inchief of the Continental forces could not be dis regarded so it was agreed to and a convention was called to meet in Annapolis, Md., on September 11, 1786.

"Buick four '■wheel Brakes Buick four-wheel brakes give all 1924 Buick cars twice the amount of grip on the road, thereby doubling their brak ing efficiency. It is the friction or grip of the tire on the road surface that brakes or slows down the car. Buick four-wheel brakes not only provide a greater power • to stop in case of emergency but, because of this four-wheel road grip, reduce skidding dangers to a minimum. i: In turning, Buick four-wheel brake construction automat- Sically releases whichever is the outside or guiding front wheel so it is instantly responsive to the steering mechanism. Buick four - wheel brake construction distributes braking ] 1 friction over four drums and four wheels. This reduces : | wear on brake linings and tires, thereby assuring their longer > 'J, life and greater efficiency, with fewer adjustments. !• j; Buick four-wheel brakes [on all models] together with countless other distinctive features of the 1924 cars further establish Buick as the Standard of Comparison. | , E-8-30-NF ! } W.
