nothing can excel in SO many ways without falling

But not one fact about the Super-Six is left un-

No man today-if he knows the facts-doubts
the Super-Six supremacy.
AT first the truth seemed like a romance. Think
OF one new invention, applied to a light six, adding
80 per cent to it's power.
Then official records began to pile up, certified
by the A. A A. The whole motoring world then
had to concede this the greatest motor built.
But manyn1en asked, What about the endurance
Can a motor so flexible, SO speedy, SO powerful,
stand up IN years of road use7"
So we asked Ralph milford to take a stock
Super-Six chassis and, under official supervision,
show the world its endurance.
Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1916-05-14

motor like those thousands Of miles of speed test.
Yet the wear was almost nothing.
Certain it is that no man has ever built q travel
machine to compare with this car in endurance. 7
Endurance Proved
That was the last queston-this one of endur-
a11ce. In all other ways it has long been evident
that the Super-Six stands supreme.
Never has a motor Of this size shown anywhere
near such power. Never was an engine made to
match this in smoothness. Never has a stock car
recorded equal performances hll-climbing,
quick acceleraton or speed.
Handson1er cars have never been shown. Finer
englneering is Simply unthinkable, with Howard E.
Coffin at the head of this department.
You are getting the car of the day when you get
the Super-SX. Every man who knows the facts
knows that. And, in view of our patents, rivalry
is impossible.

Skirts Conceal the Ankles.

Those who criticize the generous dis
play of ankle " itch fashion has sane
toned of late, and called for longer
skirts, find that in the new models
their wishes have been met, though
not, perhaps, quite in the way they
desired or expected. Beneath the hem
of some of the latest jupes are plain
ly visible, sometimes to the depth of
three or four inches, succession of
tiny frills placed on an uncomfortable
foundation of ninon or some similar
substance. Thus has fashion avenged
itself on critics, and thus does the I'M
derskirt give tangible proof Of it's ex-
istence.
But this ethereal petticoat, which is,
after all, only an apology for that once
more essential garment, and is really
lining in disguise, is not alone suffi-
cient to perform the whole duty of
upon which, in the absence of hoop
or whalebone, Is to lend support to
the skirt under which it is worn. For
that the services Of the new foundation
petticoat are enlisted, q garment OF
which the breadth and stiffness might
be embarrassing were it not for the
restraint which characterizes it's frills,
and it's fiaring career ends somewhere
about the knees.

Ideas for Sports Clothes.

Alice Maynard, who. really intro
duced the sweater for women in Amer
lea, and who has always the most in
teresting of sports clothes to offer,
is showing several suits that are well
worthy of description, whether they
are fashioned of the wool jersey, the
silk tricot, crepe de chine, or Italian
silk, depends on the individual taste
and pocketbook. They are rather ex-
pensive, for at least three yards of
the wide materials are necessary for
the skirt alone, and as for the jacket
it is either long, with straight lines,
or very short and jaunty.
The skirt of one suit was banded
with two wide bands of the same ma
terial. The bands ran around the
skirt below the hips and met in the
center front in points. The jacket
was the twenty-six-inch length, with
raglan sleeves and two wide box plaits
in the back, held in at the waist with
belt, which was loosely tied in the
front. The whole jacket was lined

WOrkbags in Sets.

The workbag to hold embroidery,
book or magazine, has always been a
winter and summer resort fad. These
bags have now developed into sets,
and a great deal Of originality is dis
played in their shapes and materials.
One set shows the futurist note strong
ly. It is made Of soft pale silk ana
has fat futurist roses embroidered to
it. The bag is oval-shaped, resembling
those which appeared during the win
ter in velvet The bonnet is a demure
little shape after the style Of the ad-
Eanced bonnet-shaped toques which
have come in with bygone modes.
Some of the sets are composed of
scarf, cushion and workbag. Every
material is used to make those sets,
from fine cretonnes to elegant brocad-
ed multicolored satins and silks.

dresses are rather simply made, with
