MaxweIIs Make New
Record on Pacific Coast

Recent motor car performances in
the west have focused the attention of
the automobile public on Maxwell cars,
says Messrs. Halyerson & Burns, who
handles Maxwell cars locally. During
the month of May, stock Maxwell cars
have been put through various PAGES
along the Pacific coast and in every
instance have established records that
proclaim dependability, strength and
the all-important item of economy.
Ray Mcnamara, who has piloted
several Maxwell economy runs, and who
established a record in Detroit early in
April when he drove stock touring
car A miles on a gallon Of gasoline,
broke his own record in California,
when lie drove a car from Oakland to
San Jose, the speedometer showing 45.6
miles when the engine stopped after
consuming its supply of one gallon OF
gasoline.
In connection with Mcnamara s per
romance, report comes from Seattle
that a Maxwell touring. ear made the
run from Seattle to Tacoma on gal
lon of gasoline. A distance of 43
miles was registered and the car car
ried five adult passengers and two
children.
The Lake Tahoe Run.
The Maxwell gained added glory by
breaking the trail to Lake Tahoe,
making the run three full weeks before
the earliest arrival of any previous
season.
This performance is all the more re-
markable in that the snowfall in the
Sierra Nevada mountains during the
past winter was the heaviest since
1889 The Maxwell made the trip to
California IS most famous mountain
lake without any aid save that furn-
ished by its own engine and its hardy
crew of four men.
In many places the snow was piled
fifteen feet deep, but the car came
through without being buried once.
The success of the venture was due
in large part to the ability of the ear
TO ride the heavy drifts instead OF
breaking through them, as was the
case with heavier cars in past seasons
More Economy IesIs'
Mr.. McNamara S latest economy test
was observed by representatives of the
Lincoln Highway Association and the
San Diego Fair, while the automobile
editor Of the Oakland, California Tri-
bune inspected the speedometer gears
the carburetor, etc
said;
Seattle, one of the newspapers there
Seattle has been the scene Of mum
erous economy trials, which have
aroused much interest among motor en-
thusiasts. but new chapter was
recorded when a 1916 model Maxwell
touring car, carrying five adults and
two children, Travelled from Seattle TO
Tacoma on a gallon of gasoline. That
tbe performance was not an accident
was demonstrated when the feat was
iepeated on the return trip. The dls-
tance from the Seattle Automobile
Company's building in Seattle to the
Logan Garage in Tacoma is forty'three
miles. which gives the Maxwell a
record for phenomenal gasoline
economy"

Fads and FanCies
For the MOtOrist

Among the spring sport coats is one
made of waite khaki-wO0d silk. Its
deep cuffs, rolling collar, belt and ten
inch stripe aroung the bottom, are all
hand painted in what is known as the
rainbow stripe, being composed Of wide
stripes in the seven eOlors. A large,
white hemp straw hat, also hand paint
ell, in Wild flower design around the
brim and faced with pale blue silk, is
worn with the coat
Bolivia cloth is used in another coat
of old rose color. The cloth resembles
the waterfall material, but is more dur
able. The coat is lined throughout with
black satin and has a deep, ruffled,
shawl collar trimmed with black satin,
Black satin cuffs, very deep, are used
on the sleeves while wide black satin
bands trim the bottom of the garment.
A new hat box for men is narrow
enough to be strapped on the running
board. In it there is room for six hats,
including the top and crush mats. Flat
hat brushes slip into straps in the Gov
er.
Popular among touring wells is one of
white hemstitched chiffon, having a
shadow net mask over the face. The
net is white with black spider webs
upon it. There is a revival of the
washable Shetland wells for this sea
son.
Cretonne plrasols in japanese pa
coda shape, with natural wood handles
are very smart to carry with linen
gowns. There is also the shot Jap
anese umbrella, with leather wrist
strap, that on doubtful looking days
may be hung on the rail. These UNI
brellas are new and are very service
able. as their frames are durable and
the silk covers are of good quality.
Black and white combinations are
being used in toilet sets for travelling
bags. One model, which is shaped like
a shoppers bag, but which is snapped
together down the sides, is lined with
black and white brocade, while the eel
luloid fittings are in black and white
stripes. The sewing and manicure
equipment, on the opposite side of the
bag, are done to match. In the bag
there also is a black and white striped
kimono WITH a pair of silk mules to
match.
Linen covered pillows in natural
browns and tans have made their ap-

NO SENATE Vote ON
SUFFRAGE This TERM
WASHINGTON. AUG. 1s-rhere wlll

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S-There will
be no vote on the federal suffrage
Senator Thomas, of Colo
RADIO, chairman of the Senate Woman
Suffrage Committee. announced, fol-
lowing a canvass of the upper house.
which revealed the absence Of half
dozen suffrage members. Mr.. Thomas
informed Mrs. Frank Nj. Roessing
chairman of the Congressional Com
mittee of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association, of his
view that, as adjournment Of congress
is now expected before all of the
suffrage senators will return to Wash
lngton, it would be useless to force a
vote on the amendment at this ses-
sion.
Mrs. Roessing, who has also made a
poll with the same idea in view.
agreed with Senator Thomas. and no
effort will now be made by either Mr..
Thomas or the women to force a vote.
In addition TO the absence of some
western senators who favor suffrage,
but who have been obliged TO go out
into their State campaigns, there is the
time element. Senator Thomas said
he had written letters TO all of the
senators, asking if a vote could be
had on the federal suffrage amend
ment without debate He received re-
plies in the negative from both
Democrats and Republicans. The
present schedule, which calls for adj
iournment on or before September g.
would not permit of any more meas
ures on the program that would re-
quire time for debate.
