MOTORING NO LUXURY
At HALF CENT A MILE

The recent utility run which was
held in San Francisco under the aus
pieces of the Pearson Motor Car COM
pany, excited a great deal of favorable
comment for the Maxwell car, because
of the wonderful economy record which
was made in the thousand mile test.
That the limit performance of Maxwell
economy and efficiency had not been
reached is shown by the fact that this
record has since been shattered and a
new record of less than one-half cent
a mile has been established.
This latest test was made under the
auspices of the Lord Motor Car COM
pany of Los Angeles, southern Califor-
MIA distributors for the Maxwell car,
at the suggestion of T. ]. Toner. Pa
cific coast manager of the Maxwell
Motor Sales corporation, who felt that
it was only fair to the automobile buy
ing public that further Investigations
along these lines should be conducted
so that ii could not be claimed that
the average made in this city was the
result OF chance alone.

Life and Career of Our New
Worlds Champ--Jess Willard
JOE JEANETTE

Jess Willar was born Dec. 20,
1887. in Pottawatomie county,
Kansas. At IA he was tall,
slim boy. as big as any man, and
he undertook q mans work
cow-punching.
Willard soon had to abandon
this as none of the COW ponies
were high enough In the withers
to keep his feet off the ground.
He was more than six feet, tall
at 16 and at 22 had attained his
present heighth of 6 feet s inches.
But Willard was no reed. That
apparent slenderness carried with
1t powerful, we'll apportioned
muscles and Wizards compan-
ions, finding that none was a
match for him in the rough COW,
boy games of wrestling and box
ing, persuaded him to try his
skill in the squared circle as
professional fighter.
Willard did. The first fight of
which there is any record was
with Louis Fink, in February Of
1911 at Sapulpa, Okla, the town
which gave Carl Morris to the
ring. Willard lost on a foul in
10 rounds.
Then followed five knockout
victories In row. One of these
went IL rounds but four rounds
was the limit for the others. Two
