close on November 80.
Already licenses for 10000 deer
hunters have been issued. Last year,
records, when the one-buck law was
in force, showed that $500 deer were

1000 Maxwell Cars
To Make Fuel Test

This month a countrywide test will
be run by 1000 Maxwell dealers to es-
tablish gasolene economy standards.
A total of $4,000 in cash prizes is Of
fered and trophy cup will go to the
dealer making the highest mileage.
Although dealers will compete, own
ers' cars only are to be used. Each
contestant will enter two cars in actual
owner service, in each of which are to
be four full grown passengers-th
driver and three observers. The cars
will make the run together, thus CIV
ing a double check.
One gallon gasolene cans, attached
TO the windshield, will be furnished by
tho factory. The cars will be run until
the fuel is out. Every stop must be
certified TO by the observers, or the
record made will not count.
II the Maxwell people run the econ
omy test as owners do their driving
that is, straight along at moderate
speed until the gasolene is used up-it
will be a significant and valuable test.
Ordinarily in such tests hours and
hours are taken nursing the car along
as no driver ever would do in ordinary
touring. A time limit set would help
to make the Maxwell test worth while,
not just stunt"
Cautiously working up every grade
and coasting down each decline gives
marvellous economy results, but they
arc not such as an owner has a right
to expect in his regular tourings. Max
we'll cars have done "A and 46.5 miles
to a gallon in fuel tests, but the COM
pany would not advertise that as GUS
tomary owner mileage. nor would a
buyer be justified in looking for such.

Wins Suits on
Delayed Delivery

An interesting case has just been
decided in Boston, where a used car
buyer has collected damages from an
automobile dealer for failure to de-
liver the car at the specified time. The
dealer took an order for new car
from a customer making a deal for
the buyers old car. He agreed to let
the man run his old car until the new
one arrived.
He figured out likely date of ar
rival of the new car. and on that basis
took an order for the used car TO be
delivered TO its buyer as of that date.
When the new machine failed to ar
rive. the owner declined to give up the
old car. The dealer tried to put off
the buyer Of the used car. Eventually
he gave the deposit back.
Then the used car buyer started
suit, saying he had offered the bal
ance due on the used machine and ask
ing damages for non-fulflment of the
contract. A jury awarded the customer
two-thirds of the price agreed on.
Boston dealers arc now looking their
contracts over to make sure they'll be
protected in like case. Here in New
York non delivery is covered on new
cars, but it is a question if all used
car deals are made on the same basis.

Verdict Against
Car Maker for
Wheel Breaking
Widow Gets $4,000 Judg-
ment Against Hudson
Motor Car Co.

Although in other courts it had been
held that an automobile manufacturer
was not liable for damages caused by
the breaking Of road wheels not of his
manufacture. and that exercise of rea-
sonable care in manufacture absolved
both wheel maker and car maker from
responsibility, a case has just been
decided in the Supreme Court in Min
cola, L. l., holding the motor car
builder responsible for damages caused
by breaking of wheels.
A verdict for $4,000 was given
against the Hudson Motor Car Com
pany in favor of Mrs. Elizabeth Gear
lish, of Glen Cove, L. l., for the death
of her husband on July 20, 1916, in an
accident due TO the collapse Of a wheel
on the Hudson car he was driving.
1t was admitted in the course of the
trial that the wheel in question had
been made from dead wood that had
rotted to an unsafe condition. Instead
of splintering. as does sound wood
when it breaks, the spokes sheared off
evenly. Three wood experts testified
as to the poor quality of the wood
II was contended by the Hudson
company that the car maker had 10
place his reliance upon the manufact-
urer of wheels and that there was no
way of testing the wheels received
without destroying them.
An effort was made TO show that the
driver was going too fast at the time
OF the accident. He was doing forty
miles an hour on straight road, a
speed which, although high for road
driving, is Ear below the indicated
capabilities of the car.

Panic Is Great
Danger in Fire
From Carburetor
Flames Can Be Handled if
You Go Sanely and
Quietly to Work
By WILLIAM Fl. STEWART, JR.

When gasolene takes fire it is a ser
ious matter, but the most dangerous
accessory to a fire is the one you least
expect, namely, panic.
The average person has such an un-
reasoning fear of gasolene that he
loses his head completely. The first
few fires will leave one completely un-
nerved for time, but after a little
experience in fighting them panic will
disappear and sclf-control will be
gained. This does not mean that one
should delay or move any more slowly,
but should know what to do, and do 1t
quickly.
The novice stands aghast as the first
burst of fame comes from the car
buretor. The experienced man jumps
for the nearest preventive. AT least
one small fire extinguisher should be
on every car. The large chemical de-
vices are too bulky and cannot be
placed in any desired position, whereas
the ordinary instrument may be slowed
away in a small space. The best place
is beneath the hood on the carburetor
side. This is where the fire starts, and
may be reached by raising the hood.
Some carry them on the running board,
but this is Objectionable on account of
theft liability. If placed under the
seat or secured by lock they are not
readily placed in service, and the ma
chine may be badly damaged mean
while.
Always turn off the gasolene at the
tank to stop feeding the flames. Ordl-
narily there is not more than two
ounces in any float chamber, and this
will not last long. All the parts about
the carburetor are metal and not easily
harmed II is we'll also to use the self
starter to turn the engine. This will
draw flames into the manifold. Quite
often the whole fire may be extin-
guished if this is done in time.
A greater danger arises from per-
hitting an accumulation of infam-
mable material in the drip pan. Once
this becomes fully ignited the situa-
tion requires prompt and efficient ac-
ton. The work of eXtingushing
should begin right here, leaving the
carburetor till the last. Otherwise the
burning gasolene at the bottom will
continue TO ignite that at the carbure-
tor.
So, remember, always start at the
bottom and work upward. If there
is a fame on the ground beneath the
car, use the self-starter with gears in
mesh to move to another position.
Sand is good if available, but never
throw sand on the carburetor or any
other parts Of the machine. 1t falls
away, leaving gasolene free to burn,
and also gets into the mechanism, do
ing incalculable harm. On fiat sur
face sand is excellent. or any other
dry powder. Even -four has saved
many a home where gasolene has been
used carelessly.
The old method of covering the FIRE
with a rug or carpet is good, but the
extinguisher is better. This covers
the fluid with layer of heavy non
infiammable gas which smothers the
flame. Finally be cautioned never to
throw water on burning gasolene. 1t
tends to spread the fame.
Every one knows that any kind Of
a fire is dangerous, but, if the above
suggestions are employed under self
control, the flame starting from. car
buretor backfire will be efficiently
stopped at the source.

Or worked to get adjustment
On a tire that was bad;
He'd never slipped fan and had

Carbon troubles arc more and more
frequent. due possibly to inferior
quality gasoline. To deal with such
conditions, carbon removers have come
on the market. One such of which we
have heard good reports, is a tablet,
smelling like camphor, but OF which
it is said no acid, ether. alcohol. cam
phor or anv other ingredient likely TO
iniure a motor enters into its COM
position. It is stated that tablets
used with 80 gallons Of gasoline will
dissolve the hardest carbon and 1t
will then be blown out of the exhaust.
A dozen tablets cost so cents.
Getting in underneath the car with
a jack, when use of such an appliance
is necessary, is often accompanied by
getting the hands and clothing grease
and dirt stained. furthermore, some
Jack handles are likely to fly up, lea
ting the car down with a bang and
perhaps causing injury to the motorist
A new type is operated by chain.
When the jack is in place under the
axle, hauling on the chain elevates the
car. Pulling the other way lets the
car down and when the jack is no
longer needed it can be drawn out from
under the automobile, again by the
chain. The jack has strong cap.
afrording goodw support to the axle
and a broad base to avoid upsettlng.
These Jacks for touring cars, with
lifting capacity of one ton, come in
9, 10 and y inch sizes When raised
the heights are respectively 1212. 15Ss
and 1872 inches. An auxiliary step on
the 8 and 10 inch sizes adds two
inches greater height. The price of all
three is the same. s..
Another. chain-using device blow
outs and a handy thing to have. The
blow out chains are made to pass
around the tire, closing and holding
closed the blow out gap. With each
chain comes an inner patch to be placed
over the hole, or cut. on the inside
of the shoe. with the sticky side next
to the casing. On clincher tires bent
lip of the main plate of the blow out
chain hooks under the rim and hooks
