DARING DRIVER IN MAXWELL
 DEFYS ELEMENTS

Deiyins the deep snow at the sum- init at Bell Springs. in Mendocino count". and tine treacherous mountain roads during the middle of the win ter Maxwell 25 roadster was driven rom Eureka to Sausalito last Satur- day ard Sunday by A. Hermanson. of the Humboldt county town. setting a new mark for daring driving in the annals of motoring on the Pacific cOast.r
 No efforts were made by Herman son. who was accompanied on the perilous journey hy George Moore. also of Eureka to establish new speed record between the two points.
 The primary object was to get through, a feat which both the occu- pants of the car and many others Do lieved would be almost impossible. Nevertheless, the running time be- tween Eureka and tho Marin county terminus was IS hours and minutes A total of , hours and 26 minutes was lost on the trip on account of unavoidable delays If various kinds
 With their Maxwell stripped to rac- ing trim, with the exception of ropes. block and tackle and shovels, the Maxwell pilot and mechanician left Eureka last Saturday afternoon at 1856 o'clock. At 1:25 o'clock Sunday afternoon the crew checked in at the Western Union telegraph office at SaIsalits Both occupants of the car were nearly exhausted from the ordeal they had gone through.
 When only a short distance out of Eureka. the Maxwell car collided with the rear end of another machine on the Toad, due to the slippery condi- ton of the road over which the dar- ing pilots were travelling tele- phone message was sent back to Eureka and after the loss of one ana one-half hours the damaged radiator was replaced. All went well for many miles until the ear had reached a point near the summit Of the grade at Bell Springs. Great drifts of snow, averaging two feet in depth. were en- coUntered there for long stretches.
 At first the car successfully rode over the frozen crust of the snow. but suddenly the car broke through, and after fully an hours time Her manson and Moore succeeded in dig ging themselves out of the drift. For 8 distance of several yards the car was forced to buck the snow and the crew compelled to do more or less shoveling. Then followed stretch pf clear roadway for half q mile, and then another snow drift This. by careful manegvering ihev succeeded m riding over the top. but only to break through d deeper drift a few hundred feet further on. where shovel ing and snow bucking was again re sorted to.
 Invariably the roads were in bad shape all the way over the mountain range until Willits was reached around breakfast time Sunday morn ing After an hours rest there the. Maxwell crew again started ont. But they had not gone far before they struck 2 particularly bad place in the road which snapped one of the rear springs. This was replaced in short time. All went well after thar until they reached the boundary line If Marin county. where speed of- ficer took up their trail and caused their arrest m Novato. From hat point into Sausalito no further in- cidents marred the trip.

 E. C. Morse. vice president and gen. eral manager of the Chalmers Motor company. issued a notice of a meeting of Chalmers district men and travelling representative to be held at the Detroit plant during the first three days in March. Among the big problems which were discussed at the meeting was the freight car shortage. which has noW reached an acute stage with Detroit automobile manufacturers. Although Chalmers cars are being delivered to dealers on their own power. by express and on flat cars. over 1000 orders for immediate delivery are still uncared for at the big Detroit plant.

DAY OF COMFORT
 IN AUTO HERE, HUFF

Comfort in the motor car has been thing of slow growth" says John llutf, salcsmanager Of the Harmon Motor company. In the days when cars were machines instead of ve- hicles. bodily comfort was less than secondary consideraticn-the me chantcs of the conglomeration Of steel and glass ard wire were the first thought Nowadays, with the motive units and running gear de- Vcloped t1 d point where they no longer are a source of worry car owners have become mole appreciative 0f what ear designers have tried to do for their bodily comfort and have demanded mole along that line
 Bat just what is meant ny com foltt am afraid that the average motor ear buyer looks upon. comfort as being associated with the depth and luxuriousness of the cushions and upholstery only. Surely it is more than that In designing the new series IS Studebaker cars We considered both driver and passengers.

 Power. first of all. heads the list ns the most important of all motor car essentials that make for comfort. IOWtI 10 tdke VOL tHert ana Ddck, without continual shifting of gears and mechanical difficulties Most any car will run well on good roads-but for complete relaxation the motorist wants an automobile with plenty of reserve power to meet all tine emer- ge1cies of touring. The driver who shifts from high to low or inter mediate for every little grade or stretch of rough going certainly can not he very comfortable. What you want is q road car. one you can sit in. kcep two fingers on the wheel and bowl along at g or 20 miles an hour and not keen fussinc around with pedals and levers.

 In commenting upon the adopting of the Ford cars in police work, Captain l.. S Hunt, of the University Station, Los Angeles said: ordinarily pa trolman in the residence district, on the lookout for burglars, auto thieves and other criminals. walks about twelve miles in a night. With a Ford. even when driving very slowly and making frequent stops, patrolman drives sixty miles. Therefore, even when two patrolmen use the same Ford. they cover as much ground in a night as five men would cover without a car.
 Also. it might be added that better service results. The driver of each car is compelled to report i'll by telephone every thirty minutes. We have two Fords in this district. Therefore, we are in touch with Ford patrolman every fifteen minutes. With an order frr''a fhe etati0n 10 ?Hide hip'. the pa

modations for extra passengers have been provided just the same. Under meath tie rear seat are two auxiliary arm chairs which pull out easily and quickly when required. Here again is demonstrated the extremes to which we, as manufacturers, are glad tc gu in order to give more comfort to those who ride in Studebaker cars Storm curtains which open with the door are innovations which will be appreciated in inclement weather, and which means more comfort for the passengers. Freedom from mechani- cal trouble the silence off all nov ing parts, even beauty of lines and finish. are all conducive to maXimuni comfort-because they mean complete satisfaction.
 "Of course the cushions of car are vitally necessary to the comfort of the passengers. And Tn that respect I might add that Studebaker cars are upholstered in semi glazed genuine leather, built over long coiled springs and stuffed with genuine curled hair
