An automobile on the road for 18 months in constant, every-day use by an owner ceases
to be a designer’s theory.
It becomes—either a great automobile success;
Or it becomes—a great automobile failure.
Multiply one model by 38,000 and
give each one of these 38,000 auto-
mobiles day in and day out rough
and tumble road wear, and if this
car stands up and delivers, it has be-
come one of the rare great auto-
mobile successes.
And that is the Maxwell success

Having reached the three-score-and-
ten years allotted as the life span of
the average mortal, Henry F. Busking,
1723 Park Avenue, Indianapolis, re-
cently decided that he had denied him-
self the pleasures of motoring long
enough.
Jn company with his wife, who had
just turned her sixty-eighth year, he
visited the salesroom of the Stelnhart-
Eckler Company, dealers for Dodge
Brothr, and purchased a new five-
passenger touring car.
Mr. Busking, who Isa master me-
chanic in the employ of a big Hoosier
concern, told the Dodge dealer that he
had put off buying a motor car be-
cause he did not believe they had
reached the desired state of perfec-
tion. One by one he had watched his
neighbors go over to the new fad, but
he remained firm until he read Dodge
Brothers’ announcement some months
back.
“Wife and I read over the specifica-
tions and decided that this was just the
car we had been waiting for,” said Mr.
Busking. “We have always wanted a
car that both of us could drive, and
with the elctric starter, lights and
other equipment on our new machine
there is no reason why my wife can-
not drive aa well an I. We intend to
become experts at this motoring busi-
ness within a short time/'
AN OVERLAND WON THE RACE
that fact. We didn’t, however, antici-
pate that a statement, made purely in
the interests ot Indicating quality in
the product, would bring such an in-
sistent and voluminous response from
the ladies," F
“Our manufacturing problems have
kept us guessing the last few months,’
says Richard II, Scott, vice president
and general manager of the Reo Motor
Car Company, “but I am now con-
fronted with matrimonial problems
that threaten to be even more seri-
ous.
“To meet a demand for automobiles
that is more than four times the pos-
sible capacity of the plants is some
problem but, the very fact that you
have the demand makes one go about
the task with enthusiasm even if
without hope of full accomplishment
“This matrimonial problem that
confronts me is different—the demand
is so vastly in excess of the supply
that I am in despair.

in the last two months the Ford
Motor Company has produced the
enormous total of 90,859 cars, this in-
cluding 48,849 cars in March and 46,-
510 cars In April. This not only in-
sures the completion of the production
of 300,000 Ford cars, between August,
1914, and August, 1915, barring the
totally unforeseen, and the rebating
of all Ford purchasers within that
period, but it means that the goal will
undoubtedly be reached before the
promised time, Aug. 1. In fact, the
three hundred thousandth car will
probably leave the Ford assembly
early in July and the production pace
will continue almost unabated, so
tremendous is the demand this year
the world over for Ford care.
Then on Aug. 1 will begin the task
of rebating about 815,000,000 to Ford
purchasers In accordance with the
terms of the Ford profit sharing
announcement. Each of the 800,000 or
more Ford purchasers will be mailed,
of course, an individual check, prob-
ably of $50, The postage alone on
this huge mail means at least >6000.
The Maxwell Company’s Guarantee of Service to Maxwell Owners
Nd other automobile is backed by a more reliable service than that guaranteed every Maxwell owner. More than 2,000 Maxwell dealers
—in every part of this country—are always ready to give expert advice, to make adjustments, and to supply new parts at reasonable prices.
This splendid Maxwell dealer service organization is perfected and completed by the chain of Maxwell owned and Maxwell operated
Service Branches. Sixteen great Maxwell Service Stations are so located throughout the country that a Maxwell dealer can supply any part
for an owner within a few hours if not in his stock. Maxwell Service is one of the great advantages enjoyed by Maxwell owners.
Order a Maxwell from us now, and when you want it delivered, we will
give you your car—not an excuse on delivery day

Russian Manager Says Deaths Have
Actually Been Less.
PETROGRAD, ApriL-- (Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press).—A, re-
markable decrease In mortality among
insured persons is noted by F. M.
Corse, the Rusian manager of an
American insurance company. Mr.
Corse la at a loss to account for this
phenomenon. hithough ho attributes it
in part to the cessation of the “night
life” in the large ities of Russia. Ac-
cording to this ingenious theory, tuo
longevity of the inhabitants has al-
ready increased with the return to reg-
ular habits. Mr. Corso observes that
out of 835,000 Insured only 100 have
died in ths months of December, Jan-
uary ana February, while for the cor-
responding period of the previous year
181 deaths were recorded out of 371,000
policy holders, and this notwithstand-
ing the fact that 120 of the Insured are
grmy, officers in active service.

A stock Overland roadster won the
racing championship of Oklahoma, de-
cided by a ninety-nine mile contest
held under the auspices of the newly
formed Southwest Race Association. A
large field of fifteen entries competed
for the coveted title. ) '
Large stands which had been erect-
ed at several points around the two
and one-half mile course were crowd-
ed with spectators. Hundreds had
made the trip from Northern. Okla-
homa and Kansas to attend the two
day meet, tho first of its kind ever
held in the State.
There was a great local rivalry over
the championship event as all of the
cars were owned in Oklahoma and the
drivers were Oklahoma men.. Several
of the cars, however, had been spe-
cially constructed for racing. Others
were practically rebuilt for speed.
The winning Overland, however, was
a stock Model 81 roadster, being the
same in every respect ns when it left
the Overland factory in Toledo, except
that the fan was removed and the body
changed to a type more suited for rac-
ing. The gearing was unaltered, the
motor was the same and every other
feature, with the exceptions noted WaS
of the standard Overland type.
Duplicating the performance of an
Overland in the Grand Prix and Van-
derbilt cup races of this year, the car
went through the entire race without
any sign of overheating. The radia-
tor tank was not filled during the race.
At the end of the ninety-ninth mile
the radiator was cool.
The action of 8. 8. 8„ th. famous blood
purifier, is direct from the moment it
enters the stomach. Unlike food that
must be acted upon by the digestive
juices, S.S8. goes at once into the
blood, and in less than five minutes has
traversed the entire circulation.
It now rapidly spreads its medicinal
action in the fine network of blood ves-
sels and is like giving th. blood a
thorough bath, to overcom. eczema,
blood risings, bolls and other eruptive
conditlons. It can not harm any part of
the system. It does not lodge in the
joints as do mercury, arsenfe and other
minerals frequently to be found in
blood remedies. It is a natural mef-
pine for the blood, just as essential to
health if germs have gotteh the upper
hand as is nutritious food If after a
•pell of s1ckn.se the body calls for nour-
ishment. Wherever you go you are
•ure to meet some one who used 8. 8. 8.
for the blood and is a willing witness
to its wonderful power to overcome
blood troubles. You can obtain 8. 8. 8.

today—that is exactly the “Acid
Test” that the Maxwell has passed
through, and that is why the Maxwell
is the most talked about automobile
that is built today.
The Maxwell automobile is today
one of the very few great automobile
successes the world has ever known.
And this is the car we urge you to
see. This is the car that you owe it
to yourself to see. We want to tell
you about its hill climbing triumphs.
We want to tell you about its speed
and endurance records. We want to
show you and add up for you every
one of its new features.
The first price of 1500 in the annual
'fire mileage contest conducted by the
AJax-Grleb Rubber Company, has
just been awarded to Garth C. Jen-
sen. He drove the same tire casins
on a Cadillac car a distance of 21,050
tulle* In a year. The car in owned by
John N. Welsby of steyens Point, Wie.
The second prlro of $300 was award-
ed Frank Gray of Chicago, driver of a
Perless for Ca N. Gottfried, on a
mileago of 21,483 miles,
A Cadillac owner by Oliver Smth,
livery, Springfield, Afss,, ami driven
by Alfred C. Smith, WAS awarded third
brixe of 1200 on 21,039 miles.
Among the OS prize winners of 125
and more there were nine Cadtllaca,
showing an aggregate of 155,037 mile*,
t ' or an average of 15,004 mUes.
L One of the most ipteresting feat-
ures developed by the contest is that
the lighter weight care do not show
among the highest mileage records.
Only one other car in Included in the
published prize list nine times, with
a total mileage of 124.077 miles, and
this is a well known representative
of what are generally regarded as the
heavier types. The second highest
humber of prises taken by any one
make is five—another big car—with a
total mileage of 53,405. . _
For the year ended last March the
rubber company arranged for the din-
iribution of 35000 prize money to
chauffeurs who could make sworn
statements as to tire mileage on its
particular mak® of Vife. Another con-
test it on, to be decided at the end of
the current twelve months, with the
same amount for prize distribution.
