EUROPE LOSING RS CHARM
Nj. Brown Didn't Enjoy His ffhirtietfs
Vislt--Tips and High Prices
PalIed.

Almost every summer since 1877 AN
e1ander P. Brown of Philadelphia has
been spending In Europe, it being his
custom to go abroad in the late spring
and then to find his way back In Octo-
Der. When Mr.. Brown landed recent
ly he had completed his thirtieth trip
to the other side, says the New York
Sun.
Yet I found this summer I did not
enjoy Europe as l once did," said Mr..
Brown at the Waldorf. Everything
has changed 80 much, and that mainly
in the last few years. When l came
away the hotel proprietors were spend
ing lots of money in the belief that
there were still Americans somewhere
In Europe or headed that way, but
they are mistaken. Most of the Amer
leans who went abroad in the spring
or summer have come home. Most Of
them who had been In the habit Of
going abroad stayed shorter time
this year than usual
Switzerland had the call on all
travel last summer. as always. But
Switzerland and the Swiss have
changed much. In the first place,
prices have gone up. 1t is no longer
easy to find the modest hotel where.
for small sum, you can live on the
best in the land, and there are many
new modern hotels with modern
prices. In fact, the prices in Switzer-
land seem to be on a par with those
of the higher priced hotels IN Lon
don, Paris and New York. Then, 1t
was bad summer in Switzerland for
weather. What with continuous rains
and snow ahead Of time, visitors got
rheumatism. And as for the number
of visitors to the country this sum-
mer, why, there were at one time
100000 foreigners scattered over the
area tributary to Lucerne, Interlaken
and Zurich. Yet many hotels over
there went into bankruptcy.
Paris has been woefully dirty all
the season. They don't begin to keep
the streets in as good condition as is
done in New York. Why. believe that

MAXWELL CAR GAINS
WONDERFUL VICTORY

President Walter e. Flanders. of
the Maxwell Motor Co., Inc, Detroit,
Mich, in discussing the recent per-
formances' of the Maxwell racers on
the Indianapolis speedway, said:
When you analyze what these cars
did you have got to admit their per-
formances were remarkable. Two
days before the big race, Tetzlaff ran
his Maxwell s. brand new untried
car, out on the track, and after q
few skirmishes smashed the worlds
record for the IL miles, completing
the lap in 1913 2-5. or at an average
speed of 96.5 miles an hour To do
this with a stiff. .unseasoned car, Ia
something extraordinary
"Carlson's performance was even
more remarkable, as you know. He
went the full 500 miles, defeating
five high priced and thoroughly test
ed foreign racing cars and fourteen
high power American racing cars,
Racing experts tell us that this was
something wonderful.
Think of it, Carlson was COM
peting with green and stiff car, a
wholly untried car, against the best
foreign racing cars that brains and
money could create; he was up
against the worlds greatest racing
experts.
"TIe was In car that In less than
ninety days before was simply a
tracing on blue paper.
do you realize the real significance
Of these performanses? And do

II think that the American people
are Justly proud Of the performances
of the Maxwell cars at Indianapolis.
II know that we are pretty proud
of our orgsnization--an organization
that in less than ninety days created
a car that lowered the worlds re-
cord It speaks mighty we'll for the
