The liveliness of the 1936 Buick, with its sensational pick- up, has been accompanied by an equally notable deceleration. In fact, it stops so fast that when allowed to come down suddenly from very high speed it some- times choked itself. Engineers said it was the carburetor, but the car already had one of the' finest carburetors available. So | they had to get busy and work out a still better one, and so to- day the tip is that Buick for 1937 will Martyr to BLACKHEADS PIMPLES For over 20 years Read this remarkable, 'nlelnl tribute: “I suffered for at least 20 years with blackheads and pimples of external gin.

Upham, e MOIT any other girl would have divorced “Bift” Bronson, 80 dubbed because he took unholy joy in bifing other men on their various jaws, and often on the slightest pre- text. But trim, auburn-haired lit- tle Joan didn't want to go home and admit that she had been wrong about Biff, possibility at which her parents had hinted before the marriage. Too. perhaps Joan still found it fn her heart to love this tall, broad - shouldered blond lad who so regularly abused her sensibilities with his militant tac- | tics. .If he had smitten her with his big right fist, the hurt would have been less than the terror, the embar- rassment she had so often suffered, especially in the little park across the street from the apartment. “Mr. Lawrence called me up to- day,” Joan was just now telling Biff. “Yeat .

Ten mirutes 1ater & young man strolled by the bench. He did more than look at Joan. He spoke to her and sat down. By the time Biff entered the park his wife and the young man were strolling down a path fringed with lliac bushes. He stopped abruptly, peered around | a lilac bush.

A MIDDLE-AGED stranger eyed Joan ss she sat down on the park bench. Joan sensed troubie brewing. She got up, started stroll- ing down the fountain path. The stranger didn't follow her. Yet he was there when she returned to the bench. He was still looking when Biff came walking toward his wife. Biff bristled and Joan's heart sank. “Come on!" she said, ncrvomly “Let's walk.” Bift walked, all right. But toward the middle-aged stranger. He said, e Puerto Rico Slum Bids In.
