DON’T DO THAT—FOR YOUR OWN SAKE—Knee-Hi warns Evelyn Barnour, 11, and Raymond
Fisher, 11, both of the Ambush School, against holding onto an automobile while riding In their
wagon. The little terrier knows that’s an easy way for children to get injured or even killed.

Knee-Hi Shows •
Pupils How to
Cross Wet Street
Traffic Safety Dog
. Trots Right Along
Without Pause to Play
Children at the Ambush-Small
wood and St. Vincent de Paul Schools
probably will cross wet streets more
carefully in the future if they fol
low yesterday’s example by Knee
Hi, the canine traffic safety in
structress. And H. B. Jones, ad
ministrative principal of the Am
bush-Smallwood School, feels sure
they will.
More than 800 colored children
stood at Fourth and M streets S.W.
as the first snow of the year fell,
cheering the way Knee-Hi trotted
briskly across the intersection in
obedience to the traffic officer’s sig
nal. But they also noted that the
little terrier refused to cross the
■ street against traffic, even if Dr.
George E. Brunson, her trainer,
stood on the other side and whis
tled and coaxed her to come to him.
Sees “Fine Lesson.”
Mr Jones described the safety
lesson as “very fine for the chil
dren. They’ll take the attitude that
if the dpg can cross the street prop
erly, then they can do it, too.”
“Don’t loaf across when you do
cross,” boomed Jack Dalton, one of
Dr. Brunson’s assistants, over the
loudspeaker system. He called the
children's attention to the fact that
Knee-Hi didn’t .stop in the middle
of the street to play with her mas
ter, but continued on until she ar
rived safely on the other side.
The children applauded enthusi
astically when Knee-Hi showed her
disapproval of boys hitching a ride
on the back of a truck by chasing
the would-be riders away from the
vehicle and half-way down M street.
Plays "Bit by Auto.”
Neither does Knee-Hi approve of
any one running out into the street
after a ball while traffic is moving.
She showed her appreciative audi
ence what would happen to those
who violate such a safety rule by
lying, apparently senseless, in the 1
middle of the street after pretend
ing to be struck by an automobile.
Due to the inclement weather, Dr.
Brunson was forced to curtail the
safety lessons, which is being spon
sored by The Star with the co
operation of the Board of Educa
tion, the Metropolitan Police De
partment and the Department of
Vehicles and Traffic.

YES, it’s nice to have a lot of
money to spend. But don’t for
get there’s also plenty of fun to be
| had “on the way up’’ to affluence.
There’s the satisfaction of achieving
something better than you’re used
to—stepping up, for instance, to this
smart, swift, solid Buick after you’ve
been driving run-of-the-mill cars.
Just you feel the silk-smooth surge
of its great 107-horsepower micro
poise-balanced straight-eight engine
—and you know that all that went
before was only preliminary to this
big thrill.
You flip the firm, easy gearshift
— and the click of its action
under your hands says here’s the
real thing in precision-made mech
anisms, not just a stopgap to tide
you over.

You roll your steady, even-going,

staunch, everywhere-substan
tial feel of this fine carriage
brings a sense of “getting
somewhere” as satisfying as
your first gilt-edged bond.
You’ve got action in this honey.
You’ve got style. You’ve got value,
and everybody knows it. You’ve
got life—you’ll romp up hills and tame
the wide-open spaces and doff your
cap to no one on the way.
And there’s nothing light, or loose,
or tinny, or labored about it any
where. Here’s the sure, steady, take
it-in-stride demeanor of a car that’s
competent-plus.
Suppose you have to stretch a bit to
buy this Buick—well, you’ll find
that will only make you prize this
great eight all the more!
So go look at the car that can
mark a milestone in your life. It
doesn’t cost a thing to find out
how little a really good car will stand
you delivered. ■
