Tour Over the Roushest

With the speedometer of his Maxwell
touring car registering more than $500
miles, w. S. Gilbreath, field secretary of
the Dixie Highway Association, motored
into Detroit last week, after an extended
trip through the South, where he has
been preaching the gospel of good roads.
Naturally, Mr.. Gilbreath sought those
sections of the South where the travel
was toughest to make his message more
effective. He drove his Maxwell over
roa5s that seemed impa ssabe and the
car responded to the severe test in great
style. The Dixie highway secretary,
passing through Detroit, called at the
general offices of the Maxwell company
to pay a personal tribute to the prowess
Of the car.
Il have never seen a car get a harder
pounding, he said. "and the way it stood
up under the strain proved it to be
marvel in construction. 1t not only stood
the wear and tear of the rough roads in
fine style, but it made some speed records
and some economy records of which to
be proud.
Frequently, 1 made tests of the num-

New Insulating Material.

A new form of insulating material,
known as pertinax, has been introduced
in Germany. 1t is made by rolling layers
of paper on one another, the mass being
then impregnated in some kind Of resin
while heat and pressure are applied. The
layers adhere to such an extent that the
resultant hard paper appears uniform
IN structure. The new insulating mate
rial is waterproof. 1t is almost as free
from chemical action as porcelain. 1t

Factory BRANCH
FOR FORDS Open
New Building on Pennsylvania
Avenue Model in Auto
Home Architecture.

Following the custom of having fac
tory branches in buildings especially
erected for the handling of motor AIRS
the Ford Motor Company has erected
at the corner OF John Marshall place
and Pennsylvania avenue a six-story
oulldlnE devoted exclusively to the
sale and care of Ford cars. Possession
was taken of the new building last
Tuesday.
The six-story building, which has
frontage OF 1875 feet on Pennsylva-
MIA avenue and l65 feet on John Mar
shall place, is built of Bedford lime
stone, the only one of Ford's ffty-one
branches constructed OF this material.
The idea OF this was TO conform to the
general scheme of the architecture of
the government buildings in Wash
| ington.
The building. which is to be known
as the Ford Sales and Service Build
ing. has been designed to care for the
wants of the Ford owners, either res
idents of Washington. the adjacent
territory. or who may be touring
through. Located on Pennsylvania
avenue, the one thoroughfare that
every visitor to Washington travels
! some time during his stay, no one can
miss seeing il.
On the first floor there is a show
! room ample in size TO properly dis
play all cars and body types that this
company builds. In addition. there is
a rest room for tourists, with some
one in charge to answer any questions
regarding Washington.
! The stockroom. which will carry at
all times over a hundred thousand dol
lars worth of Ford parts, is also To-
Gated on the ground floor.
/ On this floor also are the gasoline
and oil pumps. the only electrically
operated ones in the city. 4 flash
telephone switchboard, the first Of its
kind to be put in use in Washington,
will care for the telephone material
! On the second floor are the offices of
the company, the general Offices facing
on the Pennsylvania avenue side of the
building. Manager r. P. Jones and As
sistant Manager w. G. Eynon have their
private offices on the John Marshall place
side. Entrance to the second floor is
by means of a wide marble stairway.
Two electric elevators connect the upper
floors with the street floor. On the third
floor is the shop and service station. In
It are all the latest devices in labor
hsaving machinery. 1t is the boast of
Manager Jones that ne will be able to
turn out a repair job on one of his
cars in shorter space of time than
any other shop in the city.
The three upper floors of the build
ing are devoted to the storage and as
sembling of new cars. portion of
Maryland and Virginia territory come un-
der the Jurisdiction of this branch and
all shipments of cars will be made from
here, as will the necessary stock of parts
which each Ford dealer always keeps on
hand.
Although the building is built Of rein
forced concrete without a stick OF wood
anywhere in its construction it has an
added protection against fire in the form
Of automatic sprinklers.
Henry Ford's proft-sharing plan is in
effect among the hundred and fifty en-
ployee, the same as at the home ofice

In RiInini.

Once more the great conflict has
brought to the front place Of fame in
the worlds history. Enemy aeroplanes
have dropped bombs over Rimini, about
ten miles distant from the spot where
Caesar stood to address his soldiers after
crossing the Rubicon. In Rimini this his
toric event is commemorated by monu-
mental pillar in one of the squares. OF
Umbrian origin, the city fell into Etrus-
can hands, and then into those Of the
Romans The northern terminus Of the
Flaminian Way and the southern Of the
Aemilian and Pompilian Ways in classic
days. Rimini is the scene of the famous
episode in Dante's Inferno" in which
Francesca da Rimini paid the penalty Of
guilty intrigue with her brother-in-law.

Every one has a hobby. With some It
is golf. others baseball and still more
enjoy fishing. 1t Is seldom however,
that you find a man whose hobby has
some connection with his business. Harry
Mundy is this exception. Service is his
middle name. though he was not christen-
ed thus. He has been connected with
the automobile industry since the days
of the steam car. He sold the Mobile
steamers and remembers the time when
the car owner thought himself very for
tunate II he could make a ten-mile trip
in peace and comfort. Ever since he
took up the selling OF motor cars as his
life work he has been strong on the
one point. service. So insistent has he
been on this that when he came to Wash
ington to take charge of the local branch
he brought with him corps of expert
mechanics from the factory and with his
hrst shipment Of cars came a big stock
of spare parts. Since that time the
shipment has been increased until today
there is not a better equipped stockroom
in Washington. Everything from a cot
ter pin to a motor can be found for ak
model Chevrolets in his stock room. He
is firm believer in the fact that a salts
fed owner is the best kind Of a salesman

can do to please the owner is well worth

this year. Every summer for many years
he has Journeyed to the nesort and spent
at least month. This year he intends
to deviate from his usual custom and re-

afraid to trust Joe Pilling with the duty
Of feeding his pets. four kittens, Is the
reason he gives for tho change OF his
plans.

He has a big farm down in Virginia, a

all his week-ends there. Now and then
the lure of the country is stronger than
the desire to land another Mitchell or

down there on week day afternoon.
He conducts his farm along the same line
that he does his business, keeping
