MAXWELL WINS YALE TEST
In Field of Forty Cars Maxwell is
Awarded Best Record

The rapid strides made by the auto
mobile industry and the large held
thereby created for mechanical engi-
neers of special scientific training have
brought the heads of engineering de-
partments of the largest universities
to the realization that the close study
of mechanical construction of the au-
tomobile is of the very greatest impor-
tance.
In a report just issued by the Mason
Laboratory of Mechanical Engineer
ing. Sheffield Scientific School. Yale
University. covering forty of the lead
ing makes Of cars which the school
has put through exhaustive scientific
tests for motor car efficiency as we'll as
for economy of operation. the Max
we'll stood out first and foremost in
actual results obtained under their
close observation.
Among other things embodied In
this report on the Maxwell they in
cluded the HORSEPOWER developed at
certain speeds, the pulling strength of
the car determined by special draw
bar tests at various speeds. But the
most striking figure obtained by the
Yale engineers were those bearing on
the gasoline consumption of the Max
we'll at various speeds and under diff
ferent conditions.
This report of the engineering de-
Maxwelrs perfect carburetor action
over the whole range of speed and
load. This mileage record" the let
ter signed by Professor Z. H. Lock
wood goes on to state, "is better than
that of any one of the forty automo-
biles tested in our laboratory to date.
The fuel miles per gallon brought out
by the test at a sneed of ten to twenty
miles per hour exceed 33 miles per
gallon. and at thirty miles per hour
the fuel average was over 23 miles
per gallon.
The tests at the scientific school OF
Yale University are given as nearly
as possible under the same conditions
as would be developed on the road and
the cars used for the tests are obtained
either from the owner of car or from
the stock of local dealers.
The Maxwell car used by the Yale
laboratory was picked at random from
the stock OF the Biever Motor Car
Company. of New Haven. Conn, and

500 MILES ON 81 GALLONS

OF all the reports made so far
regarding the gasoline mileage of the
Cole Eight" the most extraordinary
is that which has just come from
G. II. Statler. of the Commercial
Motor Car Company of Johnstown,
Pa. Mr.. Statler drove 500 miles on
thirty-one gallons of gasoline, an
average of more than sixteen miles
to the gallon. Only two quarts of
oil were used on the trip. During
the run the car crossed Ligonier and
Buckhorn mountains on high" for
the first time in automobile history
The previous eight-cylinder record
for gasoline mileage was held by
f. H. Baker, of Buffalo, y. Y, who
drove 129 miles on eight and a half
gallons of gasoline, averaging better
than fifteen miles to the gallon.

PURPLE, PANSY, VIOLET,
ALL ARE IN FASHION

DURPLE in most of its many shades
is to be in high fashion this win
ter. The frocks from the Paris open
ings show this. Pansy. violet, hello
trope, orchid, cyclamen-by all these
flower names is it called, and there are
other shades besides.
Doubtless violets will be more worn
than ever. because of this renewed
vogue for purple. And orchids, too.
will help to carry out the prescribed
color scheme.
The woman who really loves the
purple shades will be quite in her ele-
ment. and she can do no better than
to make the color a hobby.
There are all sorts of accessories
! that can be had in purple. Purple
| leather is one of the best of the colore d
feathers, and there are handbags, writ
ing cases. toilet bags, manicure cases,
all sorts of little conveniences for
travellng. Jewelry boxes and many
other leather knicknacks already on
the market in different shades of pur-
pie.
There are beautiful things in purple
lor mouse furnishing, too. and the
or bedroom redecorated can do no bet
ter than to have the walls covered
with gray, with gray net at the win
dows and purple silk or velour cur
!ains over the net OF a cretonne show
ing purple on gray or white ground.
IN the hand-printed cretonnes and
linens there are some lovely purple de-
signs of peacocks and parrots and
flowers.
wicker furniture, enameled gray and
htted with purple cushions, or gray
enameled wood with purple cushions to
help to carry out the color scheme, and
TOR the floor there are lovely rugs in
two tones of gray and some in gray
and purple or two tones of lavender.
Be careful in choosing purple for the
color in a room, to be sure that you
ike it. People usually either do or do
not like these pansy shades. They sell

to go to. They had been kind to her
at the charity stations. but-at the
last place she had to pay 10 cents for
a bed and she had no 10 cents to pay
with. She had walked her feet off for
work, but nobody wanted old woman
around her kitchen. and there didn't
seem to be odd jobs, any more-and
on, and so
While the old soul talked and whim-
pered the other woman was seeing a
vision which she called The Pioneer"
Then she voiced it:
Once / knew a dear old colored
NANNY who got too rheumatic for
laundry work and we thought up a
brand-new trade that turned out fine.
She swept pavements and washed front
steps for women who did their own
work You take this for tonight and
come to my house and sweep me up
tomorrow morning."
That was four years ago, and the two
women met for about the third time
last Sunday at the Union station. The
trade has prospered. The little old

these beads?"-as if any one with eyes

of the meters they put in to measure
how much you use. But 1 get rested
over Sundays. for this is my day for
peace and beads
Il am so glad for you. And where
did you get the CROSSE"
out of the trash. 1 put it on to
remember God by. Because if it wasn't
for Him i wouldn't be wearing beads"
Which shows that in the next world,
as well as this one, beads may stand
for success.
Two women boarded a crowded car
They were not pretty, nor young. But
they were very, very genteel.
No man who was seated made a mo-
tion to do what most men consider the
proper thing. One hair-bleached pas

November and the other early May
November clamped her lips together in
a way that brought out wrinkles of a
kind that never show up when one
smiles. Early May made an effort to

most women will know why. Even the
good intention helped. however, for it
attracted the notice of girl. who, in
Difference to age, gave up her seat
which was promptly filled by November.
But even at that she wasn't satisfied !:
for. having settled herself she said
with sigh that wasn't altogether re-
lief:
When you get to where the men in
car wait for girl to get up and give
you her seat then you may know you

I'm not talking a bit louder than
you are. OF course they get up for
infirm folks. II somebody's greatest
grandma was to totter in here this
minute, these men would tumble over
each other to give her a seat That's
all right. I'm not complaining, I'm Just
telling you facts. Men are always

ones. but they don't give a hoot for
middle-aged ones. who are too plain
to appeal to their romantic feelings
and too healthy to touch their pity.

with exactly one hour on her hands.
There was no use going home for she
would barely have time to turn around
and come back again.
She didn't want to prowl around aim
lessly in the hot sun.
She had no small needs to take her
shopping. and not money enough for a
hat or gown.
1t would be foolish to go to a cafe, for
the engagement included luncheon.
There was no friend living in the
business section to whom she might
run in on to chatter the time away.
So:
She went to reception room in a
department store and waited-and wait
ed-and waited-until she had killed
her hour.
Would you call 1t murder or self-de-
fense?

like that, I think men are always
nearly always-nice to women-Oh,
thank you. sir"
A man had touched button, got up
and touched Early May on the arm.
When she thanked him, he touched his
hat. Then he passed up front and
swung off at the corner.
Red Sweater beamed her satisfaction,
Lord love her, never mind the bolster
Gus get up: going to be lots of bleached
heads in heaven. neighbors, dear-and,
feeling that she must have achieved
mans vindication, Early May leaned
across the aisle and whispered to
November:

he goes toward the park. He couldn't
very well take the seat along with
him"
And on the face of November was the
conviction of one that knows her little
book
That's ALL only-well, for one thing,
it shows the difference between Novem-
ber and Early May.
A man was hurrying up Pennsylvania
avenue.
A woman was scudding around 9th
street. At the corner they came to-
gether-Bump,
Beg pardon" The man touched his
hat as he rushed by.
The woman looked after him and
glared.
The collision caught the notice of A
couple of middle-aged smokers at the
curb:
considering that woman was as
much to blame. as the man, what in
Sam Hill did he have TO apologize for?
The other knew exactly why.
Because he's a man, of course"

Success is not always measured by
the dollar mark. In Mrs. kate's case,
for one instance, it is expressed in
beads.
If you had run across her the other
morning at the Union station you
would have been sure TO notice
her beads. because it was probably the
only chance you ever had to see a
time-bent little woman in black spot

of necklace-hlue and white pearls that

at the very least. And this is how

other day that the braves wouldn't win
the 1915 pennant. That wager seems to
express generally the opinion of fam
dom concerning the Braves chances
during the coming season.
The Braves played the most wonder
full baseball over stretch of ten weeks
that has ever been played in history.
They beat a team in the world series
that was considered to be the greatest
ever welded together. And they beat
that outfit in record time. And yet, de-
spite that great showing, despite the
fact that the Braves have been
strengthened considerably, only the
stoutest hearted Boston fans are pre-
dieting another pennant for the Braves.
The o-called wise men" Of baseball
think that the Braves will not repeat
simply because lightning isn't supposed
to strike twice in the same place and
that accidents rarely happen twice in
the same way.
