Watch Alignment OF
Wheels and SaOe the
ExcessiUe Tire Wear

Three cars were lined up in
front Of the Quick Tire Service
on Texas street. Friday after
noon. while the wheels were
tested for alignment as all three
owners had complained OF exces-
sive tire wear. 1t was found
that the wheels Of all three cars
We're out OF alignment
Motorists don't pay enough
attention to the alignment Of
their wheels" said D. c. Booth
Wheels out OF alignment mean
that the tires get the same excess
sive wear that they would get il
they were rubbing up against a
horseshoe all the time. And
you'll find, too, that every car
needs some attention to the
alignment OF its wheels every few
months. FL Paso's bill for excess
sive tire wear, due TO misalign-
ment Of wheels, IS mighty big
one"

NEW MAXWELL IS
LARGER THAN OLD

The 1918 Maxwell models reached
the Buquor Motor company on Satur-
day and they have been busy display
ing the cars all week TO many callers.
The new Maxwell is a big improve
ment over the 1917 model
The wheel base Is longer, giving
more room both in the tOnneau and
driving seat. The finish is better and
the lines more graceful The Maxwell
engineers have managed to do away
with many parts heretofore believed
necessary on light cars with the re-
suit that the car is simple in con-
struction and easy for the average
motorist to understand The single
wire system has been used for all
electrical apparatus and a big tangle
Of wiring has been abolished There
are few exposed parts and the bottom
OF the chassis IS clean and clear Of
construction
One of the new models has been
turned on one side at the BuquOr
salesrooms so that visitors may have
a chance TO thoroughly appreciate the
simple yet sturdy construction

THIEVES BOOST
CAR INSURANCE
Rates Climb Because of In
creases in Crime and Fail
ure to Recover Autos.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 15.-As might
be expected, the failure Of the author
tiles to apprehend automobile thieves
and to inflict a proper measure Of
punishment uDon them has resulted
in a very considerable increase in fire
and theft insurance. Western fire
and theft rates on cars Of Sl40O TO
s24ss value have been increased from
s2-25 to S3.25 per 500. Cars OF $500
TO 1899 have been increased from
S3.25 to 1915. The increase on cars
from S799 down has been largely due
to the theft Of a well known car This
increase is from 81 to S5-25. The in
creases on one year old cars, two
year and three year models are also
large.
A special meeting Of the Automo-
bile Protective and Information bu-
reau was held in Chicago early in
August to discuss the recent increase
in the number Of thefts in Detroit and
CHICAGO. Despite the increased use
of locks and devices thefts in these
two cities have become SO alarnalns 2.

The report Of cars stolen, recov-

other cars ranging in price from
$1,000 to $4,000.
Saxon "six" at 1885 has the
Exide storage battery. So have
9 other cars ranging in price
from $1145 to $4,000.
There's the evidence. It's the
straightest, clearest proof ever
offered as to the value and quail
ity Of any car.
It sets Saxon "Six" above the
claims of all other cars, within
$500 or $500 Of its price.
We quoted you 1895 f. o. b. De
troit as the price Of Saxon "Six."
That is true. But with manu-
featuring costs going up and up
it may not remain long at that
price. So place your order now.

Take the important features Of
Saxon "Six" one by one.
Bear in mind the price of Saxon
Six-$935 f. o. b. Detroit.
Then look among the costly cars
and see whether cars of far high
er price have these same fea-
lures.
If they do, that is absolute proof
of the high quality Of Saxon
"Six" and the remarkable value
it is.
Here's how the test works out.
Saxon "six" at 1886 has a Con
tinental ix-cylinder motor. So
have u other cars ranging in
price from $1115 to $1,000.
Saxon "six" at 1896 has Timken
axles. So have 19 other cars
ranging in price from SLID to
$4,000.

BOONE BEST ELECTED
SPEAKER OF HOUSE
(BY UNITED PREss).

Denver, jan 3.-Colorado's Twen-
ty-First General Assembly began its
labors today at noon. No set pro-
gram for the session has been deter
mined. Its proceeding was strictly
routine, but. the first thrill of the
session was produced when Senator
Candlish, Republican of Leadville. an
nounced he had bolted a Republican
caucus.
The division of the senate. eighteen
Democrats and seventeen Republicans,
is so close that a retention of every
senator is vital to every side.
Senator Hamilton. Democrat, VINO
is i'll, was not present.
In making his announcement Cand-
lish emphasized the fact that he Is
still Republican and would vote with
the republicans for confirmation OF
Carlson's appointees who have not
yet been confirmed by the senate, but
he also stated that he would support
Progressive-Dem legislation
Candlish gave his reason for bolt
ing the caucus as refusal to play pea
nut politics. He declared that he
entered the meeting under the belief
that it was merely a Republican con-
ference. but that every Republican
then tried to turn it into caucus and
he refused to be bound and therefore
left the meeting.
After brief session the senate adj
iourned to await the report Of the
credentials committee.
Z In the house Boone Best was eaected
speaker. the Republicans voting for
Torpit of Ell Paso county.
Word was then sent TO the senate
that the house was organized and the
house concurrent resolutions informed

to the senate.
A committee was named to lot seats.
