Adv c Another Reason Why — Buick Cushions Are Comfortable On All Roads The cushions on Buick open cars are supported on doub e-deck springs. The upper springs, light and easy acting, smooth out slight road irregularities, while the larger and stronger lowers absorb the bumps that cause the ordi nary seat to “strike bottom”. Two pads of curled hair between springs and French plaited upholstery give thpt final softness and assure the purchaser a cushion that will stand up.

That the deaf can hear over the ra dia has local confirmation in the case of Miss Moselle Rhyne, 11-year-oln daughter of Mr. YV. L. Rhyne, of Stony Point. The child has been deaf since birth and is at present at the state institution for the deaf at Mor ganton. While she was at home for the Christmas holiday, her father had a radio set installed. Mr, J. E. Gaither, representing a local clectri _cal firm, was in charge of the in^tal lation. The little girl sat on her father’s knee, an interested observer a? Mr. Gaither tuned in the instrument. By caprice Mr. Fhyne placed the reeeiv ers over his daughter’s ears. Knowing her affliction, Mr. Gaither gave her a sympathetic glance of interest as she sat there playing make-believe. But he gave her more than a glance, for thorn was „ light in her eves which told him plainly that something won derful was taking place. His hands deserted the tuning key and dropped to his sides in the pres ence of an incomparable joy. In the ever-brightening glow of her child’s eyes was reVealed the conquest of man over the drear and lonely steppes of silence, the thrilling spectacle of self-willed and elusive natural forces curbed and bridled by men and made j to minister to an imperfect human- j ity. ijhe needed no longer to play ’ -nnVe-believe. For the rest of her holiday the ra d'o was her inseparable companion. Mr. Rhyne told one of the principals at Morganton of his discovery when he brought his daughter hack to the school at the end of the holiday. Un ■*Me to believe it, the principal expe rimented with a set of receivers and a transmitter, no radio setTieing avail' able. The receivers were placed on her ears and the principal talked into !hc transmitter. MozClle heard dis tinctly, for all her responses were in telligent. The fact that she was unable to dear the radio through the amplifier proves that the ear receivers are res ponsible. Through the receivers dif fusion of sound is checked arid the sound waves strike the car with! »nough force to penetrate the usual j »arricr of deafness.
