REFINED MAXWELL
SHOWN BY DEALER

The latest word in automobiles in
Salem is the refined Maxwell ear for
the 1918 season just received by Hal
vorsen & Burns, the local Maxwell
dealers.
Besides several important improve
ments, which greatly enhance the value
of the Maxwell there are many lesser
refinements which add to the car s
mechanical perfection, although there
has been no fundamental change in
the one model chassis.
In fhe Maxwell today the depth of
the frame members has been increased
from three to six inches. The former
method attaching the body to the
frame by the use of brackets has been
discarded and the body now rests
directly upon the frame itself, which
greatly strengthens the car. The elm
nation of the noisy splash guards,
made possible by the change, is ap-
preciated by motorists.
The wheelbase has been increased by
half foot this season, its length now
being 100 inches. The body is also
roomier.
Another improvement is the com
pensating underslung rear spring now
used by the Maxwell. This type of
spring is the same that has recently
been adopted by many of the manu-
facturers of the highest priced cars.
The longer wheelbase, with the un-
derslung compensating rear springs,
not only improves the riding qualities
wonderfully but makes for even great
er ''rOadability" feature always
noted in Maxwell cars.
There has been installed an improved
strainer and sediment bulb in the gas
line.
An electric lock controls the starter,
ion and fly wheel while the motor is
running A heavier pinion is used in
the lear axle. A larger gas tank has
an improved gauge and filler pipe.
A single point switch is made pos
sible by the use of a straight 12-volt
battery, which assures a better battery
service.
The minor mechanical improvements,
however, are not the only new features
in the one model Maxwell. The body
hood and cowl lines are extremely
graceful this year.
The front and rear aprons, slanting
windshield, deeper and softer uphol-
stery, the improved quality of trim
ming material, wider running boards
and tenders all combine to make one
of the most attractive cars ever pro-
duced in its price class. The slanting
windshield eliminates the back glare
of lights from the rear.
The staggard seat roadster with its
roomy rear compartment, the roomy
four door sedan, the six passenger
Berline, the luxurious coupe, and the
all weather tops on touring and road
ster models are all in keeping, They
will not suffer by comparison with
within 5000 of their prices.
Prospective car owners are showing
considerable interest and enthusiasm
over the car now being shown by Hal
vorsen & Burns at their sales rooms.

EVERY SECTION
RESPONDS TO LOAN
SUBSCRIPTIONS POUR INTO THE
TREASURY DEPARTMENT
AT WASHINGTON.
NEARLY $40, 900, 900 AN HOUR
Offer Likely To Be Oversubscribed 100
Per Cent-One Thousand Banks
Heard From-Flood of Re-
sponses.

Washington to the
liberty loan poured into the treasury
department at the rate of nearly $780,
900, 900 an hour. The greatest outpour-
ing Of national wealth in the history
Of the world was foreshadowed by the
first days response to the offering of
the loan.
The sheaf OF kilograms from every
section Of the country grew larger as
the day progressed. Five hundred
kilograms, less than two per cent Of
the total number of banks from which
replies are expected, had been classi.
fled by states and tabulated when the
office closed at 4 pm. These 500 re.
sponses carried offers of subscription
TO the amount of 1888, 674, 900.
The greatest flood Of responses came
between 4 and 6 p. m, after the offices
had closed. 1t was estimated that 500
more banks were heard from within
the two hours.
The $138,674, 900 Of subscriptions
tabulated May 4, representing less
than two per cent Of the banks alone,
indicates that the $4,000, 600, 900 Offer
will be oversubscribed at least 100
per cent. Should the ratio Of t6e first
responses be maintained In replies
from the other banks, the banks and
their customers alone would offer sub
scriptions totaling approximately ST.
900, 900, 900.
One subscription Of $40, 900, 900 was
received from a bank in New York,
Another was for 5000, 900. The small
est subscription was $4,000. New
York led the list Of states with sub.
scriptions ag~gregating approximately
$72,0 00, 900, over half total amount.

MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON
Probability That One Committee VIII
Purchase All Supplies Needed by
the Allied Countries.

Washington.-Creation Of a central
purchasing committee in Washington
for all supplies bought in the United
States for the allied governments was
forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever
financial expert Of the British war
mission. The committee will supplant
J. P. Morgan & Co.
Discussing the world financial situa-
ton, the British expert expressed the
opinion that Germany will be practical
ly bankrupt In the credit markets
after the war.
"Our enemies" he said, 'fOr all their
boosted efficiency, have never had the
courage to face their financial prob
lens, with the result that when the
war Is over they will be hard put to-
it."
The Teutonic governments having
pyramided one internal loan upon an
other, he explained. their interest
charges would be so great that he be-
lieved they would either have to repu-
date a large part of their debt or face
inability to buy the enormous Quanti-
ties of material they would need for
reconstruction.
The allies, he added, had paid their
way in the wal "by the straightfor-
ward and natural means, by pouring
out their gold, by selling enormous
masses of American securities, by rails
ing loans" AS a result, he predicted
that the end of the war would find the
allies in good shape financially, despite
their enormous permanent debts.
