MAXMELLS IN
 TEN MILLION
 DOLLAR DEAL

The Babbitt Poison company of Phoenix. yesterday received official announcement of @ $10,000, 900 trans action concerning the Maxwell Motor company, for which the Babbitt- Poison people are agents in PoheniX and Arizona.
 When T. J. Toner, representing the Maxwell Motor company, Inc, and Charles F. Fay, representing the C. E. Fay company, recently attached their respective signatures to a certain legal document there was concluded what is Unquestionably the largest individual transactions that has ever been made in the motor car industry covering a certain territory
 This contract involved approximate " S16000 009 investment, covers a per cd Of years and brings together two important factor not to be over looked the best of manufacturing ability and the most energetic and intelligent selling ability. The ability to produce finished article has been proven by the Maxwell and the ability to merchandise has been en- phasized by MT. Fay.
 The contract calls for the entire distribution of Maxwell cars and trucks in the territory comprising Massac chusetts east of Worcester county and the state of Rhode Is- land beng placed under the jurisdic- tion and control of the C. E. Fay comapn1 aud concluded negotiations that have been pending for some tune back. It also brings two affilia- ticn. one with the other, two partic- uiarly strong organizations-th third largest manufacturer of motor cars in America and the youngest auto mobile firm in the local industry, youngest in actual period of life but old in eXpeUence in the mercantile world.
 Charles F. Fay, who recently re- signed as head of the local assembly ard distributing plant of the world s great builder of motor cars after a -erIn of years in which he built ur aa organization second to none in JHe countrSs is the head or the new concern and brings to the Maxwell organization wonderful executive abil- itv coupled with aggressiveriess and initiative most valuable in any line.
 Associated with him as his right hand man is E. H. Evans, who was assistant manager under Mir. Fay until recently when they resigned their former positions in order to take on the retailing and whoiesaline or the Maxwell products in the specified territory
 NeEotiations concluded provide for

the taking over by the c. E. Fay company of the present Maxwell re tail salesroon1s at S67 Boylston street, Boston, and on Broad street, Provi- dence. as well as the service stations in both those cities. the change be- ing effective tomorrow. It is the fn- tention of the C. l.. Fay company to give to it's clients the very best of service and cooperation possible and to support the Maxwell organization in its progressive work.
 While the new company takes over the retailing and wholes2Eng in the territory named, this will in no way affect the wholesale branch of the Maxwell Motor company on New bury street which is now, and has been for some time past. under the juris- diction of Mir. Hoover Holton.
 T. J. Toner. sales manager of the Maxwell Motor company, in speaking of this new condition. said yester- day: We feel in making this con- necticn We have absolutely done the finest thing possible for the Maxwell Motor company and Maxwell owners. AIr. Fay has had wonderful expert ence in handling quantity produc- ton. It is pleasing to us that he had selected the Maxwell, not as a result Of snap judgment, but after careful delioeration. and it emphasizes in the opinion Of man qualified to be judge, that the Maxwell is the great motor car value in the world. We have absolute confidence in his organization. and our belief in his abilit,' is such that we have, against our usual policy, agreed to discon- tinue branches in this territory and placed ourselves in his hands. This is confidence"

up the reverse can be used and the
car brought back TO point OF safety.
Always before backing the car in a
city look TO the rear TO see II you are
hemmed in by traffic.
Traffic driving also demands
that the motorist be not in too
great hurry TO start forward
after a truck or other form of com
mercial vehicle has passed, for
the latter may be carrying long
pipes or rods, lumber, etc, all Of
which may result in damage to the
front of the car, If not an accident
all around. 1t is especially bad
when a dray has but one of the
protruding articles, inasmuch as
the latter will then be much hard
er to see.
Never attempt to pass car or
vehicle on the right when going
in the same direction. The other
fellow might take notion to drive
closer to the curb suddenly, to
which he has perfect right. and
you find yourself in imminent dan
ger of either hitting him or being
forced 10 the sidewalk. II pays to
play safe in a case like this. and
even IL the car in front leaves an
inviting gap between it and the
curb for you to dash into. better
sound your horn and make him
swing over so that you can pass
him on the left side, as the rule Of
the road says.
The Washington herald., 1917-09-23

the car being swung up against the
curb.
Never steer a car sharply from the
curb to the crown OF the road when
the surface is slippery. This is also
true when the car is started from the
curb. The theory back of this is SIM
pie; the adhesion OF the road wheels
is insufficient to overcome the CEN
tlifugal effect and the result is that
the rear of the car is forced into the
gutter. Sometimes a sudden speeding
up Of the engine will effectively over
come the tendency to skid.
Driving a car in the city through
traffic calls for quick manipulation Of
the steering wheel, brakes. gears, etc,
much more so than when in the coun-
try. In the city the driver must be
on the alert at all times owing to
the increased number of vehicles met,
street cars, pedestrians. etc.
One Of the first things to learn in
traffic driving is not to get up too
close to the car or vehicle ahead of
you. especially II it is horse drawn.
Horses become restive at times. some
times from their own caprice, at others
because of an unskilled driver and
have a way of backing up in stopped
traffic II a car is driven to within
six inches or one foot behind the
result is usually a broken lamp or
fender. or, I'm some cases. even the
radiator might suffer. The careful
driver leaves plenty of space between
his car and any vehicle in front, so
that in case the latter starts to back

the car allowed to coast to a stop.
BY jamming on the brakes the car
might skid and serious damage
result to the Debated tire.
While on the subject of skidding.
it is pefhaps well to take up a
discussion OF the latter.
To begin with. the driver should
learn to dihferentiate between the
term skidding and side slipping
The former simply means a contin-
uous forward movement of the car
Fortunately. side slipping is usually
confined to the rear wheels only,
but in some instances this might
be true Of the front ones also. One
reason for side slipping is taking
corners too fast. In this case the
centrifugal force tends to slide the
car broadside of the road.
The driver who experiences his first
skid, or side slip, feels helpless, but
after one or two of them he will
learn how to correct them. Nearly
all side slips are toward the right,
made so by the Gambler Of the road
or city street. Application OF the
brakes in such a case will only ag-
gravate matters The things to do
is to partially close the throttle, but
not all the way, as this would be
equivalent to putting on the brakes.
Then gradually head the car for the
center of the road. at the same time
opening the throttle. This might ag-
grayate the skid somewhat, but 1t
will be for a short time only, and
all the while you are placing the
front wheels in the center of the road
with the car pointing at an angle
In this manner the car can be
brought to the crown, of the road
again and the right rear wheel, which
is down in the ditch, will be pulled
out by the momentum of the car.
The important thing to remember
about skidding is to leave the brake
pedal alone. No great deal Of trouble
will be experienced on wet pavements
If the brakes are applied only when
the car is going in straight line.
But by no means should the brakes
be applied enough to lock the rear
wheels. In turning a corner on a
slippery pavement the clutch should
be taken out If there is a tendency
for the car to slip.
There is another cause or side slip
which might take place when the car
is being driven in a straight line. If
the brake be applied hard one or both
Of the wheels may become locked and
the car skid in a straight line. When
this takes place very frequently one
of the rear tires, especially if il has a
plain tread. will lose its lateral grip
on the road surface and begin to slip
sideways, setting up a possibility of
