MAXWELL ALIGNMENT SUPERIOR

San Francisco. November 1O.-Em
phasizing the Importance of proper

Gambler gather and draw of the front
wheels of an automobile is one of
the most essential features OF a mo-
tor car in obtaining maximum tire
mileage and in providing easy steer

port OF this. the statement is made
that frequently after 400 or 500 miles

three siXteenths inch on each wheel
The wheels are trammed so that the
distance between tires in front is
three-eighths inch less than the cor
responding points on level with the
hub. This causes the wheels to hold
the road better and makes the steer
ing easier Greater toe-in than this
causes excessive wear on front tires.
The angles of the wheels from a verti-
cal plane is such that the difference
between the trammed dimension be-
tween the tires at the bottom and
of the top is fifteen-sixteenths inch"

the Weeks enthusiasts were at that
minute busy with other affairs and
Grimes returned meekly and mildly
to the headquarters after emitting a
few loud noises for his favorite.
All of which should tend to direct
some more attention to T. Davenport
Smith, who is at least gaining some
space in the Chicago newspapers. This
is paragraph from the Chicago Jour
nal of Tuesday evening:
Smith Gets Publicity.
Thomas Davenport Smith, the busy
and genial, though undisturbed dele
gate at large from Hiawatha, Kan, is
said to bear a striking resemblance to
a gentleman who in 1895 startled Chi
cago and the nation by repudiating a
crown of thorns.' Mr.. Smith declined
to accept the compliment

turned, 81 am neither pacifist nor a

And speaking of Kansans who are
getting things, David Hinshaw of En-
poria is worthy of mention. In 1912
HinShaw was connected with the Pro-
gressive national headquarters and
helped to bale hay for the Bull Moose.
This year Hinshaw came to Chicago
to attend the national conventions.
He performed the unusual stunt of
landing positions as sergeant at arms
of both the Republican and Progress
sive national conventions and thus won
season tickets to both events.
Allen Speech a Feature.
Many of the Kansas Progressives
will attend sessions of the Republican
convention. Likewise, numerous Kan
sas Republicans will look in on the
Bull Moose attraction. William Allen
White is the chief ticket man for the
Bull Moose convention, but his hard
ships to date have hardly equaled
those of Fred f. Stanley.
Henry J. Allen of Wichita, who is
slated for at least one speech before
the Progressive convention, may talk
to the Bull Moosers at the late We'd
neSday or Thursday sessions. Allen S
speech is to be one of the keynoteS of
the Bull Moose gathering.
In Topeka two weeks ago Allen set
the Kansas Progressives wild with his
declaration that only Roosevelt would
be accepted. He has changed his mind
little, if at all, since the Kansas con-
vention. His speech at the Auditorium
is expected to be one of the oratorical
features of the convention.
Good Seats for Kansans.

in the Republican National conven-
ton. The Kansans were seated in the
center of the big hall second sec

about eleven of the district mana gers

Cuts Out "Season Passes

There is a wild clamor among the
visitors for tickets. Fred E. Stanley,

he believes, every Kansan who made
the trip to Chicago will be able to see
at least portion of the show. While

machinery of the national convention,
Mrs. Stanley is enjoying a weeks visit
