There is much in the appeal of the

home, its means Of communicate
and its ways OF transportation, the
vision of health, happiness and long

learn is how to live in the country an!

all of the candidates come to the

that an economy test conducted

hung up another Maxwell record by

discouraging weather conditions
and other similar tests about the

The day. on which the Detroit ties,
was made was cold. the thermom

above the freezing mark. when the
start was made. At the beginning
of the run. there was strong head
wind and the finish was made along
several miles OF rough gravel road
With these adverse conditions elm
mated. the Maxwell undoubtedly
would have added several miles Ia
its total.
A stock touring car was used, with
standard equipment and loaded with
driver and three passengers, the
total weight carried, including pas
sengers, car and accessories, being
1850 pounds.
The start was at Birmingham, In

of the journey was made down

were followed to Michigan-ave.
