TO EMPLOY WOMEN
 DEMONSTRATORS

Word comes that an entirely new field of endeavor is about to be opened to women. and it is one of the most pleasant as well as profitable labors to which women may aspire Waiter E. Flanders of the Maxwell Motor company is about to make q nation wide canvass of all the womens organ nations to find capable women to act as demonstrators of the Maxwell car.
 The plan has been given the indorse- ment of several of the most prominent club and suffragette leaders of the country. It is a genuine business move on the part of the Maxwell Motor com psny.4 MT. Flanders believes that wom- en will be successful in the automobile business and particularly in demon strating and selling a car like the Max well, which is light and easy to handle and has proved popular with women drivers.
 When questioned regarding the move Mr. Flanders said: "To be frank, we want to sell our cars to women and we think women can sell them suc- cessfully. It has been our experience that women in department stores as agents are good sellers and therefore we consider 1t no Utopian scheme to engage women as demonstrators of au- tom obiles.
 "The long and the short of 1t is that we believe in women not only to the extent of employing them, but to the extent of paying the same as wa pay men for the job

Mons afoot (there were no trains or vehicles running) when I stumbled upon farmer with load of pota- toes who was going to my destination. He was well aware of the presence of the enemy in this vicinity, and he told mo that the only way we could safely get through the lines was for me to get at the bottom of his wagon and be buried in the potatoes.
 'The journey took two hours over ,cobblestone roads and the suffocation endured is well nigh indescribable. We had travelled about Is kilometers (10 miles) when I heard sharp com mand to halt in a guttera1 sound in German addressed to the farmer and could distinctly hear the conversation which ordered the driver off the wagon as the German soldiers wanted to buy the load of potatoes.

 .The outside air is much colder and consequently the heat will radiate much faster from the cylinders than in warm weather. To get the same re- suits from the motor this extra loss of heat must be made up by supplying an extra amount of fuel. The cooling system should also receive careful at tention to prevent any damage arising from freezing.

THE CACTUS DERBY SPRINGS SURPRISE Two Stock Paige Cars Win Second and Third
 Place

The Los Angeles Phoenix race is gen erally conceded to be the hardest and most dangerous race in the world. No course has ever been selected that proves such a terrific grind as the 706 miles GOV cred by the drivers between these cities on the 9th, 10th and 11th of November.
 For hundreds of miles the road winds over the burning desert sands, cut deep with ruts and hollows and chuck holes In some places so narrow that two cars cannot pass. Sharp rocks. big boulders and cactus are strewn everywhere.
 Over mountain ranges that rise 1000 feet. through mountain passes where the road hangs over sheer precipices thousands of feet deep. plunging down roads that drop 5000 feet in 10 miles into dark canyons. Through dried-up river beds and up steep banks made by deep washouts.
 This was the seventh time the Cactus derby was run. The course chosen was the longest as well as the most difficult 706 miles. Both cars and drivers were put to test that no other race, not ever the six previous Cactus derby races, have ever eXacted.
 Twenty cars started. Among them can be numbered the best that are produced anywhere. All the tragedies and ill-luck that can be experienced were experienced by the 12 cars that dropped out. Only eight survived and many of these came in on their last legs, tottering over the finished line bent and broken.
 The first car to sped over the finished line in Phoenix after the three awful days of driving was Nkrent in a Paige ''36' = second was Oldfield, in his Stutz racing machine, the latter, however, having an advantage in elapsed time, which made him the winner by 34 minutes H seconds.
 This car driven by Barney Oldfield is the same special racing machine that was built to compete in the 800 mile Indian apols race and in the Elgin trophy race.

 The largest of the now additions will have an area more than twice as great as that of the entire original Toledo factory when it was purchased by john V. Willys d little more than five years ago. The space will Le used for the painting and upholstering departments and the chassis and body assemblies.
