Although figures show the death rate among colored people from this cause to be higher than among whites, experi-| ments show the colored race is no| more susceptible than the white, she | stated. It is, therefore, poor en- vironment which causes the number of colored fatalities. Serious Lack of Funds.

Actually it is two carburetors built into one unit. Buick engineers have named it the “aerobat,” because it follows the prin- ciples used in carburetors built for stunt airplanes. It sup- plies an even, steady flow of fuel to the motor, no matter what position the car is in. (EDITORIAL NOTE: This informative story about the 1937 Sertes-60 Buick Century, v0p performer in America among the new cars, was written from personal expertence by the Autimobile Editor of the New York Evening Journal, and is reprinted here by permission as it appeared in that newspaper) The new automatic starter is connected with the accelerator sedal, but there is also a starter connection with the hand throttle, so that the car may be started when the car is on a hill and both feet are on the clutch and brake pedals.

Every fender, valve or brake, every graceful contour is a story in itself, and behind each story is another tale of engineering achievement. So it is with the new Buick for 1937. I find myself tempted to discourse in detail upon each impressive feature. All of them play im- portant parts in the making of a modern motor car. All have important bearing on its performance, beauty and comfort. Space limitations, however, make it necessary to confine this report to a brief description of the car’s performance and a few of its more important new features. ‘Spa.liug along the famous Roosevelt Racewvay, the new Buick 60 steps out at 86 miles an hour on the three- quarter mile straightaway, during the test run conducted by Don Short and Dave Prestom Most safety questions are answered by the new “unisteel” body con- struction employed on both the Forty and Sixty series for Buicks for 1937. A stronger “I” beam cross- member has been added to the frame to increase rigidity. Rounding a sharp turn [ on the racewway at 50 miles an hour, the neww Buick 60 dem- onstrates its ability to hold the inside lane despite a pour- ing rain and a slippery track The entire chassis has been sealed from the fan to the rear wheels, keeping out dust, dirt and water. The Buick “‘gliding ride,” emphasized in the 1936 models, has been still fur- ther improved in the new car.

Our proving ground was the famous Roosevelt Raceway, built on the old Roosevelt Field at Westbury, L. I. Here the world’s finest racing drivers recently found the four- mile course a stiff test for even the specially built racing cars. The new Buick 60 was strictly “on the spot” on this tortuous road-racing course. Preston drove the car back to New York and found, as I had, that it was difficult to realize when he had reached the legal speed limit of 40 miles an hour on the Grand Central Parkway. The motor was smooth at all speeds and bumps in the road were imperceptible. . Zooms Over Hill The following day we tried the Buick on the long hill that rises for over a mile from the old ship canal at Rocky Hill, N. J., to the Lincoln Highway. Starting in high gear from a standstill the motor picked up smoothly and we went over the top at better than fifty miles an hour. So much for actual performance during the test trip. Between us, Dave Preston and I drove the car more than 400 miles and found that it answered every demand. Round T:ip NEW YORK RICHMOND.

Those 130 mechanical horses under the hood did the trick in no uncertain terms, reaching 40 miles an hour in eight seconds from a standing start, 60 in second gear in 16% seconds and 80 in high gear in 32% seconds.
