MAXWELL CARS
MAKE SEVERAL
NEW RECORDS

Recent motor car performances in
the west have focused the attention
OF the automobile public on Max
well cars. says W. J. Lane. manager
OF the Cunningham Auto Co. who
handles Maxwell cars locally. Dur
ing the month OF May, stock Max
well cars have been put through We
rious PAGES along the Pacific coast
and In every instance have estab-
iished records that proclaim depend
ability, strength and the all-import-
ant item OF economy.
Ray Mcnamara. who has piloted
several Maxwell economy runs, and
who established record in Detroit
early In April, when he drove a
stock touring car 81 miles on a gol-
Ion OF gasoline. broke his own rec.
ord in California. when he drove a
car from Oakland to San Jose. the
speedometer showing 1876 miles
when the engine stopped after con
suming It's supply of one gallon OF
gasoline.
Tn, Maxwell gained added glory
by breaking the trail TO Lake Tahoe,
making the run three full weeks be-
fore the earliest arrival of any pre-
vious season.
This performance is all the more
remarkable in that the snowfall in
the Sierra Nevada mountains during
the past winter was the heaviest
since 1889. The Maxwell made the
trip TO Calfornias most famous
mountain lake without any aid save
that furnished by its own engine and
it's hardy crew of four men.
In many places the snow was piled
10 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 car
to ride the heavy drifts instead OF
breaking through them, as was the
case with heavier cars in past sea-
sons

Committee Urges Slogan,

Detroit's Cleanup" campaign,
which officially ended Saturday, was
an unqualified success and operated
effectively In Kidding the unsightly
places of the winters accumulation
OF refuse. That was the opinion of
the Cleanup" committee OF the De-
troit Board Of Commerce. which met
Saturday to review the work of the

excellentN start that has been made
In creating a "spotless" town.
The committee issues the follow
ing appreciation OF the cooperation
II received from the various forces:
'The superlative organization OF
the Detroit Boy Scouts who dis
tributed $4,000 hand-bills within "a
hours OF their leaving the press re-
fleets the highest praise on the COM

Owing to the heavy demand on
the department OF public works and
their shortage of equipment and
men, IL was decided by the Clean

to the contractors of the city TO vol

ed their heartiest sympathy with the
idea. Some, unfortunately, could not
do otherwise than give their moral
support owing to trade, exigencies.
Several of the churches featured
the cleanup appeal. and all made
strong announcements from pulpit
and platform. The efforts OF the
clergy were supplemented by relig'
ious societies, irrespective of denom

The fact that Lansing has made

I, $40 Merchant Ships
Sunk by Belligerents
Since War Began

New York, Nov. 3.---One thousand,
eight hundred twenty merchant ships,
with an aggregate gross tonnage Of
3,32S,5S4. have been sunk by belliger-
ent nations during twenty seyen
months Of war ending Nov. !. accord
ing to figures compiled from cable, dis
patches and mail advices. published
here today by the Journal Of Com
merce.
The losses during October were larg-
er than any one of the preceding five
months, amounting to LIT vessels Of a
total Of 227,116 tons gross. The Octo-
Der rate Of destruction was consider-
ably in excess Of the monthly average
thruout the war period and British
Shipping sustained losses nearly equal
to those of August and September
combined. Norway lost the largest
number Of ships-f1fty six-but their
gross tonnage was only 53,333. as COM
pared to Great Britain's total loss of
155.646 gross tonnage Of thirty eight
vessels destroyed.
A table showing the total shipping
losses since the war began estimates
those Of the entente allies at about Is
per cent and those Of the neutrals at
IS per cent, with Teutontc loss less
than per cent
