NEW MAXWELL TRUCK.

H B. Leary, IT., the local Maxwell
agent, yesterday received two Of the new
one-ton trucks that are being put out
by the Maxwell company. The trucks
were among the first to leave the fac
tory and in most cities hereafter the To-
cal Maxwell agent will handle the Max
well truck.
The engine Is of bloc design-the same
engine used in Maxwell cars. 1t holds
worlds record of 22.o22 miles for ac-
tual operation over all kinds of roads,
without motor stop.
The transmission Is the three-speed Sc
lecttve type-simple and trouble-proor.
The gears are made of alloy steel, drop
forged and heat-treated to give the ut
most durability.
The power is transmitted to the rear
wheels by a propeller-shaft with Timken-
David Brown worm and gear embodied in
the rear-axle housing.
The frame is made of pressed steel The
side members are 1-2 inches deep, with
channel S1-2 inches wide. made of 3-l6-
inch steel. The frame is supported by
heavy cross members and is practically
unbreakable.

No Drought for Scotland.

On the theory that prohibition in Scot
land Is impractical" the Scotch Board of
Liquor Control has rejected the petition
of thousands of women to have the coun-
try declared dry" for the period of the
war. The action taken contrasts with the
policy of compulsory abstinence adopted
in France and Russia as a war measure
and the temporary restrictions on liquor
selling in England.
But whisky in Scotland is something
different. 1t is the indicated antidote for
fog and mist, the hereditary beverage of
golf, and to conceive OF the home of John
Barleycorn as denied the solace OF a wee
nipple by law and transformed into an
other Kansas involves a strain of the i'm
agination. A Scotland without Scotch" ;"
under compulsion OF the excise authori-
ties. would be ripe for revolt. AS Lord
DAbernon said, mo measure of prohibi-
ton can succeed unless applied with the
cordial consent of q large majority Of
the people affected" How cordial the re-
sponse would be "aboon the pass Of Bally
Brough" to such an act OF tyranny over
personal liberty may be conjectured.
A prudent excise board has thus dealt
prudently with an unalterable condition.
Scotch life Is not to be denatured, and
the tappit hen may still dispense comfort
10 the thirsty. Prohibition may be neces-
sary for Sessenach and Latin, but a

Will Gasoline of Future Be Mined

The latest estimates of the United
States Geological Survey show that II
gasoline continues to be used up at the
present rate. all the petroleum fields now
in use will be exhausted before 1850.
Where, then, will our future gasoline
come from? asks the Popular Science
Monthly. Billions of dollars are involved
In the question. The probable answer is
that mined gasoline VIII be used. Colo
rado, Utah, and other Western and Mid
die Western States contain extensive OIL
bearing deposits OF bituminous shale.
Crude oil can be extracted from them
and this can be distilled further to OBJ
tain gasoline. Enough gasoline could be
produced in this way to equal many times
the amount obtained from all our pres
ent-day petroleum fields.

Using Rope for Spare Tire.

When blowout occurs on the road
ana no spare tube or shoe is on the
car and the blown tube or casing is
beyond further repair. the usual meth
cd OF procedure is to run to the near
est garage on the rim. In every case
this means positive destruction of the
rim, II the casing is removed, and
the serious damage of the rim or the
destruction of the SHOE II 1t Is left
on An ingenious motorist discovered
way out Of the difficulty. He obtained
a piece OF rope from a farmer and
wound II tightly around the felloe and
spokes. The first few turns OF rope
were wound circumferentialIy; the re-
mainder was wound crosswise, 50 that
holding places were obtained at four
or ive spokes. Sufficient rope was
used to make the thickness of the
novel tire equal to that OF the rub

MEXICAN GOVERNOR
LIKES HAYNES SKIES

Gov. Bstaban Cantu, Of the state OF

Light Skies for the service OF himself
and his engineers in the road building
operations in his state.
Gov. Cantu purchased two Haynes
Light Skies" for the exclusive use OF
his engineering stan. The governor HIM
self Is the owner of a Haynes car. Its
Performance at the hands of the cotton
ranchers under the high temperatures OF
Southern California deserts attracted his
attention. shortly after assuming the gov
ernor's ofice.
The state highway which Gov. Cantu
is projecting is rs miles long, and runs
its whole distance through a region that
has an average annual rainfall Of less
than an inch. Part OF the new state
road will be well above sea level where
II crosses the Black Butte Mountains at
an elevation OF 400 feet. Work began
last May, and II is likely that the high
way will be completed this summer
Forty-five per cent of the work is done
now.
That the governor OF a Mexican prov
ince should be building roads at this time
seems bit paradoxial. Gov. Cantu,
however. is out OF the pale Of the ma
tional turmoil, and he is doing his revo-
lutionizing in a constructive way. His
corps OF native engineers are military
graduates of Chspultepec and they are
pushing work on the state road with all
possible haste.

PATHFINDER CAR WINS
IDENTIFICATION CONTEST

The Pathfinder car was Identified by
more than ss per cent Of the contestants
in recent "car-naming contest" held by
Leslie's Weekly.
In this contest illustrations showing
forty of the most prominent American
cars were selected, numbered and ar
ranged In groups. All names and other
identifying marks, not directly associated
with the design of the cars, had been
eliminated from the photographs. The
idea of the contest was to name each car
from its distinguishing characteristics
only.
1T was not surprising" said Vice
President W. Z. Stalnaker of the Path
finder Company I'VE think that the new
Pathfinder touring roadster, with its COM
partments for housing extra wheel. tires
and top, is the most distinguished looking
car in America. These and many other
Pathfinder refnements OF design, mark
the car as different and place It far in
advance OF any other car in the world.
Every one who is interested in motor
cars and more particularly the automo-
bile dealers, notice these things.
THE decision justifies my belief that
the added beauty, as well as the added
utility Of Pathfinder design and construc-
tion innovations are recognized and ap-
proved by automobile dealers as we'll as
