Their costume has been well known since
the days of Waterloo and the charge Of

consists of a blue tunic. red trousers with

is evident that today the army Is the
state. and this is true not less of France
than of Others and perhaps to a greater
degree. owing to its republican form Of
government
France is wrapped up in her army. 1t
is her pride and her dependence. Back
of it are years of gallant tradition, and
right well does it seem to be living up
to them in these stirring days.
1t is related that during the tumultuous

How is it that this man Boulanger,

or prin iples CT government, has such
tremendous hold on the Imagination Of
the French people?" And the reply was:

that every family in the land has one or
more members connected more or less
closely with the army. 1t is something

of peace. and particularly in war. as

strenthened until the army is the very

making OF MAXWELLS
Is SHOWN BY MOVIES

Through the kindness of William
D. Paine and H. J. vogler, Eastern
representatives of the Maxwell Motor
Company of Detroit, over 100 agents
for the Maxwell automobiles in what
Is known as the Philadelphia terri
tory, including Eastern Pennsylvania,
South Jersey, Delaware, Eastern
Shore of Maryland and Virginia,
gathered in the gold room Of the
Adelphia Hotel, Philadelphia, for
luncheon Tuesday. Informal speeches
were made by Mr.. Paine, who acted
as toastmaster; Edward Bowman, R.
II. Kain and Mark Manship, Maxwell
factory representative. After the
luncheon a moving-picture show last
ing over an hour was given, with
lecture by Mr. Manship. This display
Is most novel one, originating with
the Maxwell Company, and is being
much admired all over the country
wherever they have been shown, and
the demand for the films has been so
great that several sets are necessary
to supply all the calls from Maxwell
dealers who desire to show them to
their customers.
The show is entitled From Molten
Steel to Automobile" and takes the
observer through every process of
motorcar construction from the piling
of the pig iron in the yards to the
completed Maxwell automobiles being
rolled into freight cars to be shipped
all over the country. Much of the
machinery shown was specially made
for the Maxwell Company and illus
trates in detail many of the intricate
processes the cars go through in pro-
cess of manufacture and the methods
that enable the Maxwell Company to
turn out 1875 to 15O complete cars
daily. There we're also shown many
hill-climbing stunts and otner severe
tests the Maxwell cars were put
through in the mountains Of Califor-
mia.

SMALL TRUCKS
BRING BUSINESS
Firms Able TO Reach Out
and Increase Their
Profits

Business timidity keeps many
smaller firms from gaining the ad-
vantaees Of motor truck delivery
MANY a merchant who specially
needs trucks because Of their ability
to expand a business, holds OF from
their purchase because Of fear that
he has not enough work to keep a
truck busy.
He has heard It argued that only
a large firm with need for enough
vehicles TO warrant the construction
of its own garage, the purchase Of
gnsoline in quantity at reduced rates,
the manufacture Of its own cleo
tricsty. and the maintenance Of a
special repair force, can operate a
power delivery system at a profit.
Occasionally this may be true. On
rare occasions there are special lines
where truck might be an extraya-
gance. but for every one such there
are dozen where a power vehicle
could be installed with profit. 1t is
one of the curiosities OF motor truck
selling that Il Is easier to get the
big orders than the little. The pur-
chasing agent who places an order
for feet Of from ten to twenty
five requires less persuasion than the
merchant who hesitatingly deter
mines to buy one.
The man who figures that he has
hardly enough delivery to keep one
wagon and two horses busy naturally
hesitates TO bear the increased ex-
penses or a vehicle that VIII traverse
more territory and make two or three
times as many calls. If he hasn't
enough work for present facilities,
he argues, why increase them?
But, when this argument Is sub
mitted to the test OF analysis, II will
be found, except In isolated in
stances, that like every proposition
which Is opposed to progressive
methods II is based on unsound rea-
soning.
The man who suits his facilities to
the amount Of business ne has and
makes no plans for gaining and hand
ling a greater volume. is at a stand
still Some more enterprising rival,
unwilling to limit his business TO the
radius he can cover economic
ally with horses, is going to go and
get the customers.
The merchant must follow man into
the suburbs and to do this Is the
function Of the motor truck No other
agency can rival It In this service.

COAST OYER BROKEN STONE.

The best way to drive a car over
short stretch of broken stone is to
take a short run at it--not too fast
and let the car coast over the stone
with the clutch out. Thus the rear
tires sare relieved of driving strains
and of the resulting tearing action
of sharp stones on the rubber. OF
course, it is not always practicable
to do this, but when it can be done
it adds Just little more to the life
Of the tires.

SPARK PLUG MUST SUIT MOTOR.

Many motorists cannot obtain
maximum efficiency from their cars
simply for the reason thst while they
may be using a good make OF spark
plug, II may be of a type or shape
not adapted TO their particular motor.
A spark plug expert says that TO OBJ
tain maximum efficiency the points Of
the plug should be located properly
in the combustion chamber. Often
times plugs are used with too short a
shell, so that the plug itself does not
protrude a sufficient distance into
the chamber. and in other cases the
plug is too long.
