Low "up.keep" Carburetor

The carburetor used the Maxwell was espec- iay designed for it after long and tests under every conceivable condition. Economy tours conducted by hundreds of dealers and owners in different sections of the country have proved it's efficiency. its quick response to throttle and it's extremely low consumption of gasoline. It has been termed the Tow keep" carburet0r.

 Double-Shell Radiator with Shock

 The Maxwell radiator is of handsome design. gracefully curved. and it Is built to be trouble proof. It is the expensive double shell type and has ample cooling capacity. The radiator is mounted to the frame by means of shock ab- sorbing device each side. which relieves tho radiator of all twists and distortions of the frame caused by roughness of the road. The shock ab- sorbing device also mnimizes tho possibility of radiator leaks.

Irreversible Steering Gear

The greatest margin of safety has been pro- vided in the steering gear of the 1915 Maxwell The Maxwell irreversble steering mechanism is of the expensive worm and-gear type and its su- periorfty over every other type lies in it's many adjustments. At no time is than fourth of the bearing surface of tie gear which operates the worm in use. When needed, bearing surface may be had by adjusting the gear a quarter or turn. In short, the Maxwell steering gear has four times the adjustment of any other kind.

Teaching Cubs to Kill.

Have you ever seen a cat catch a
mouse and hand it over to her kittens
to teach them how to kill? Well. Il
tiger is merely a big cat, and she
teaches her cubs almost in the same
way. only not with mice. An East In
dian officer witnessed scene of this
kind. An old bull bison had been the
victim. and the tigress had disabled
him by breaking one Of his fOrelegs
just below the knee. She never touched
the throat. the usual place Of selling,
but allowed the cubs to worry the dis
abled animal. The eyewitness relates
that the cubs acted exactly like kittens.

RIFLE SIGHTS.
The Drop of the Bullet In Its Flight
Makes Them Necessary.

The Drop of the Bullet In It's Flight
Makes Them Necessary.
The average person Ii asked to ex-
plain why rifle Is sighted would prob
ably be unable to do SO beyond some
vague remark about taking correct aim.
Sights are necessary because bullet
does not travel In straight line. but,
under the influence Of gravity and fric-
tion, begins to drop almost as soon as
1t leaves the muzzle. Thus the bullet
OF the British service rifle drops six
inches In the first 100 yards, but when
It has gone 200 yards it will have drop
ped not twelve inches. but two feet.
The drop increases by leaps and bounds
with the distance. Were there no
sights on the rifle and you wanted to
hit mark at 200 yards you would
clearly have to aim two feet above it.
This would be awkward. for you
would lose sight OF the mark aimed
at, to say nothing Of the difficulty OF
correctly estimating a distance Of two
feet at 200 yards.
The sights of a rife enable yon TO
keep your eye on the mark. although
the muzzle of the rifle is actually point
ing above it. The movable slide of
the backsight enables you automatical'
ly to point the muzzle just SO many
feet above the mark aimed at as is
necessary to counteract the known
drop Of the bullet at various ranges

ANTIQUITY OF MANKIND.
GOikis Places Il at Between 25o,ooo and
100000 Years.


G0lkis Places Il at Between 25o,0oo and
100000 Years.
In his work, THE Antiquity of Man
In Europe" Professor James Gelkie
OF Edinburgh university declares mis-
belief that man has inhabited Europe
between 25O,0O0 and 100000 years.
All such estimates are based on geo.
logical facts. such as the rate at which
sediment is deposited OF at which stal.
agmites grow, that are very hard to
determine with any accuracy, but no
one cow doubts that man Is far older
than men of science originally suppos-
ed him to be.
when we reflect" says Professor
Geikie, ION the many geographical
changes that man has witnessed-the
submergence and re-elevation of enor-
nous tracts. the erosion of valleys and
general lowering Of the surface by de-
mutation, when we consider that he
has lived through a succession of stu
pendous climatic revolutions; that he
has seen widely contrasted floras and
faunas alternately occupying our conti-
nent-tundras. steppes and great for
ests succeeding each other again and
again-we must feel convinced that the
few thousand years that have elapsed
since the downfall Of BabyIonian, AS
syrian and Egyptian empires are as
nothing compared with the long aeons
that separate the earliest times OF his
tory from the apparitiOn OF palaeolith-
ic man in Europe"

ELECTION DATE PUZZLE.
Why the "First Tuesday After the First
Monday" In November?

Why the "First Tuesday After the First
Monday" In November?
Nearly all the American world knows
that the national election and nearly
all of the state elections occur on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday in
November, but probably not one in all
the millions of voters and nonvoters
can tell why" that date was selected
for the choice of electors. The when"
is easy of discovery, but that Is anOth-
er story. 1t Is always the first Tues
day after the first Monday, but any
body who looks at the calendars of
several years in November will see
that the date varies almost every year.
Years ago the writer inquired of
many of the most learned congressman
in Washington as to the why" of the
mystery. Not one could answer ex-
cept to say, "Bless me, don't know"
Harry Smith. who for long years was
journal clerk of the house of repre-
sentatives, was almost Il magician in
dragging to light those little mysteries
associated with the history of the coun-
try. He sought high and low as to the
why" actually for months and then
gave it up.
1t is really one of the curiosities of
our national legislation. IL. II. b.
Meyer, chief photographer of the Con,
gressional library. says:
"As to why the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November instead
of the first Tuesday in November was
fixed for the date of presidential elec
tons. we have to report that no salts
factory answer can be given."-E. w
Lightner in Pittsburgh Dispatch.

were pinned beneath the big car as it
landed bottom up on the track of the

The party was en- route from Fair Ha-

Cured. Versions of the cause of the ac.
cident differ, but it is evident that the
machine started to slip from the road
way and went over the precipice before
the chauffeur could get it under con-
troll.
The automobile left the roadway about
GO feet west of the spot where it made
its disastrous plunge. The road at that
point is skirted by two-foot fence,
which near its end veers abruptly from
the roadway. 1t is assumed by motorists
that when the chauffeur found himself
slipping from the road he glanced at the
fence and thought he still had room to
bring the car back into the highway.
Instead of stopping he ran along by the
fence and before he realized the danger
the machine had slipped over the steep
drop.
Passing automobilists rushed to the aid
of the victims, and passengers on an
eastbound trolley ear, as well as the
crew of an eastbound Delaware g. Hudson
freight train. also lent assistance. Miss
Ellen T. Dewey. the only person fatally
injured, was the only one not pinned
beneath the machine. She was thrown
out and landed beside the overturned
machine. Miss Gertrude Dewey. her sis
