HERO ON NO-STOPS
RUN DOING DUTY
Maxwell Car is Sent to the
Border and Makes More
Records.

The no-stops Maxwell, famous as
hero OF the recent 22.022 mile grind
without single halt of the engine. has
taken up new Job. 1t is now an aux
iliary-and an important one--to Uncle
Sans fighting forces along the Ari-
zona- Mexico boundary line.
Shortly after the conclusion of the
noLstops test in southern California a
few weeks ago Charlie Miller, district
representative for the Maxwell Motor
Sales corporation, took the toll SCARED
champion and started for Arizona. En-
route the machine was an object of in
terest everywhere and more than lived
up to its record by establishing new
intercity speed records all the way to
the Mexican line.
At Douglas, which Is the western
center of military activities along the
international boundary, Miller's ride
of triumph was interrupted. A dusty
looking army officer, without any for
mality, stated that he needed the Max
well to travel to point 10 miles across
the desert.
Miller wasn't bit in favor of losing
his bus. In fact he told the officer
so in few we'll chosen. Arizona words
"All right, if you're such a poor pat
riot, l guess wen just have to confis-
cate your machine" was the reply-but
it was enough to make the Maxwell
man something like mad.
"A poor patriot. am 1? Well, If that's
the way you feel, just take this car. and
inside of 10 minutes I'll have six more
Maxwells here to take YOU to Mexico
City and back. Why didn't you tell
me it was for federal service in the first
place."
Miller was as good as his word. In a
short time a whole fleet of Maxwells,
none Of which had seen less than 10000
miles of Arizona stage service, were
carrying nine troopers at load to the
new camp. The No stops champion led
the march. and Miller drove it just as
roughly over the desert bumps as
though it were a brand new car, in
stead of one that had already seen 30,..
600 miles of travel in less than Ave
months

WOMEN ARE MORE
INTREPID AS DRIVERS
THAN DOUGHTY MALES

Lyman p. Clark. sales manager for
the Lord Motor Car company, Of Los
Angeles, undertook to delve into psy-
chology as 1t relates to automobile
driving and the result of his investiga-
tions is that women are more intrepid
at the wheel than men. Mr. Clark says
this is particularly true in the case of
persons who are learning to drive.
Mr.. Clark arrived at his decision
after series of experiments with ANA
teurs receiving their first instruction.
in driving Maxwell cars. The ease with
which a Los Angeles woman drove her
car on Broadway her first afternoon out
convinced Mr.. Clark that women drlv-
ers must be given the palm.
AS a result of the announcement of
woman's superiority in this field, Mr..
Clark has been deluged by letters COM
mending him for his investigation and
praising the Maxwell car for its simpli-
city of operation. Most of these COM
munications were from interested wo-
men. Only one contained rebuke and
that was unsigned. Naturally, It was
from disgruntled man. He said:
Your statement commends the Max
well car, but is unjust to your own sex.
Why belittle us men in such a way?
Elease correct your statement. !

A Man."
Il won't retract anything have said
relative to the intrepidity of women
when 1t comes to learning to drive"
said Mr.. Clark. II don't doubt that my
male friend taught himself to drive his
own Maxwell, but I challenge him to
produce proof of himself or any other
man practicing alone downtown on
Broadway the first afternoon he took
his car out"

HELPFUL hints FOR
AUTOMOBILE OWNERS

In most every gas line there is a
strainer or trap. either in the line it,
self or at the base of the carburetor.
Few persons think to clean this occa-
sionally before trouble is encountered.
The present day fuel contains more or
less waste matter and trouble with the
carburetor can be eliminated by clean
ing this trap or strainer occasionally.
Because oil has a disintegrating eff
feet, not only on rubber but on cotton
and fabric as we'll, care should be
taken to see that the wiring for cleo
trio lighting and engine starting sys-
tenn is well protected. If oil is per-
mitted to remain on the wiring the
insulation will in time be softeneds so
that the slightest chatting will cause
the bare copper to be exposed and a
short circuit or leakage of current
follow.
A motor that is subject to consider
able vibration is liable to have its CYL
inders work loose on the crank case
through the loosening of the holding
down bolts or nuts If they are not
watched. A wrench should be applied
occasionally to make sure that every
thing is tight. The trouble that arises
from loose cylinders runs all the way
from leakage of oil to wrecked motor.
When car is newly painted care
should be taken to remove any mud or
other foreign matter as quickly as pos
sible II the mud is allowed to stay
on new paint over night it will be diff
ficult to remove the mud stains. If
these stains penetrate the varnish it
will be necessary to retouch such
places. After the varnish has become
thoroughly set there is not so much
danger.
A relief cock, with handle that is
vertical when the Valve is closed, is
liable to work open if the plug loosens
through wear. The best way to remedy
such a trouble is to throw out the Of
Tending cock and buy new one with
spring to keep the plug tight as 1t
wears. Another method is to fill the
hole in the plug with a piece of brass
wire carefully shaped to the contour
of the plug. and drill new hole in
such a position that the handle will be
pointing downward.

MAKING OF FIRST
BURNER RECALLED
English Gives True Story
of Grade of Gas
Light"

AS the week of May to May is
universally known as gas range Vice.,
IL twill be interesting to note the history
of the first gas burner from which the
development of the present day modern
appliances has arisen.
1t is said that a needle punctured
thlmble gave the world its first gas
burner. The idea was suggested to
William Murdoch, and his little cottage
in Redruth, England, became famous
as the cradle of gas light" according
to the New York Post. Murdock's first
experiments were made in a teapot,
later using a large kettle for distilling
the coal.
Professor Vivian B. Lewis the we'll
known English chemist gives the fol-
lowing interesting description of MUIR
docks discovery;
In the old days at Redruth when
making gas in his back yard and burn
ing it in his house to the wonderment
of the rustics who could not under
stand the possibility of there being a
flame without a wick-they had been
brought up from their childhood to the
taIlbw dip and the oil lamp-MurdoclS
first burning his gas simply as flame
from the end of a gas pipe, and when
he wanted to cut it off, his method was
extremely simple.
First Tried to Use Clay.
Taking a small plug of clay Murdoch
rammed into the end of the pipe. You
must remember that he had only just
begun to experiment, and he was not
at all sure what would happen If the
small holder in the back yard were to
ground and the pressure of the weight
of the holder were to be taken off the
gas. Murdoch had some sort of dim fear
that there might be trouble, and at one
of his exhibitions he suddenly saw his
flame beginning to grow gradually
small, and he realized that his holder
In the back yard was getting low.
He looked around for his plug of clay
but unfortunately it had been knock
ed down to the floor and had rolled I'M
der the table. Unable to find the plug,
he hlrriedly looked around for some
thing else and found his wife's thimble.
SEEKING the thimble he rammed II
over the end of the pipe--a thoughtless
sort of thing for a brutal man to do
but smelling the gas Murdoch applied
a light and saw that the thimble was
In the condition that every good house
wife,s thimble should be. 1t was full of
small holes, drilled by the unsympathe-
tic heads of darning needles, and the
gas escaping through these small holes
ignited, and to his establishment Muir
dock saw that those two or three small
jats Of gas gave greater illumination
than before had been given from the
great flare out of the pipe.
Worked Out the Idea.
Working on that idea, Murdoch in
troduced the cockspur burner. Murdoch
thought that three jets. which to his
mind rather represented the Prince OF

The spark control may not be ex-

To get the most miles per gallon,
make sure the brakes do not drag, see
that compression is perfect. Look the
ignition system over carefully; have
the smallest possible nozzle and idling
adjustment so that motor throttles
down very low. Then drive carefully,
that is, do not accelerate quickly.
When stopping throw out the clutch in
time to allow the car to slow down
without using the brakes.

The car is propelled forward and re-

greater strain and the outer wheel

rear wheels.

car. Can you advise me how to tell
when the spark Is advanced enough?
Please tell me what to use and how to
grind the valves in the old car.
Thanking you for this information, I
remain, L. S.
A simple way to tell whether spark
is advanced far enough for speed of
the piston at any time is to advance
spark until motor speed slaekens. A
distinct metallic knock may also be
noted coming from the motor.
Carborundum is mostly used for this
purpose. When grinding valve wrap
some waste around stem to prevent
the carborundum from getting into

into cylinder port. Then apply car
borundum on seat of valve; replace
valve on seat. Use a large screw
driver or valve grinding tool and turn
valve with backward and forward
movement. raising at intervals to
change position on seat This should
be done until all marks disappear and
clear surface is obtained on valve and
