gest that in our important cities and especially in those sections of the country where cantonments are To- cated and where supplies are trans ported to shipping points, the differ ent city governments enlarge their street cleaning departments this win ter to facilitate the passage of auto mobiles and motor trucks.
 Here is an opportunity for the youth of the nation to render the country an important service. There are undoubtedly hundreds of thous- ands of young men between the ages of fourteen and seventeen who would be glad to do their bit by enrolling in a local street progress company, it being their duty to keep streets at all times free from Instructions that would impede the progress of ve- hicles. Such companies would enable the men LOW employed in the street cleaning departments to either join the boys over there or enter other important branches in which there Is a scarcity of labor

FLANDERS TAXES BIGGER JOb IN
 AUTO BUSINESS

Walter E. Flanders has resigned as president of the Maxwell Motor company. and is now chairman Of the board of directors. His place as head of the big Maxwell enterprise is occupied by W. Ledyard Mitchell, plant efficiency expert.
 In retiring from the presidency, Flanders carries o1.e step further his determined policy to divest himself of such of his work as can be trans ferred to other shoulders that can bear it as well as he can.
 The Flanders administration of the Maxwell company has been one of the real and noteworthy successes of the automobile business. II. it Flanders not only conclusively dem onstrated that he is a great manu- factusr but he proved equally forci- bly, that he is just as great an or ganiZer. merchant and the financial master of his business. When he took the sadly scattered remnants that were once the United States Motor company, the task seemed a herculean one. Flanders performed it in the simplest possible manner, cutting out the various models ana kinds of cars and disposing of the plants themselves and unifying the Maxwell structure, concentrating it around the production of a car whose exact field and market he had in mind. The growth of the business has been nothing short of marvel ous and today it is rated among the most solid il, the industry.
 Flanders feat of taking over the Chalmers Motor company clearly demonstrates his insight into the possibilities presented, as results al ready show. His latest achievement typifies the manner in which he goes after business He didn't want to be asked to bid on government work he took his entire engineering staff to Washington and secured for his company a large number of valuable special contracts.
 Mitchell, the new president, comes from Cincinnati, Ohio, where he has created for himself an enviable repu- tation as a manufacturer and eff ciency expert, having done mucf creditable work along that line fol the Anthony N. Brady interests which are the dominating stockhold- l ing factors in the Maxwell company He naturally comes at Flanders in
 vitation.

.OLDSMOb|LE WINNER IF TOUGH
 ENDURANCE RUN 0N BAD ROADS

The cars were spicl1 and span, the drivers smiling but the skies were foreboding looking and just as the last car checked out down came the rain It was no respector of roads or time but Kept with the machines through out the run, making the driving dan gerous in many places
 The route travelled was one of the most trying, both on drivers and cars, that has ever been decided upon by the club. Added to it's usual harships to be encountered-cros roads seldom travelled composed chiefly of ruts. rocks and hills of steep grade-the un- pleasant weather conditions made the contest call for even more endurance than was expected.
 Seventeen cars started on the run. Only six stood the test and finished the run. Only three of the six were on time. MT. Wyckoff, of the Essex Automobile company of Newark came in first with an Oldsmobile. The third place in the event was won by Mir o. H. Ball who is associted with Mir. Wyskoff, also driving an Oldsmobile.
 Instead of bright, good looking cars. when they had finished the run they looked like moving masses of mud, but Allt NplN NiliS pal lS ok tue OluSulODlcS were looking better than ever before. Neither Mr Wyckoff or Mr. Ball had any rest-but stayed at the wheels of their OldsmObles for the entire "A hours.
 Contests of this kind are not merely stunts. They show that the car must be constructed of the best materials and put together rights to stand the strain of such constant driving over all kinds of roadways. This gruelling test adds another evidence of Oldsmo- bile sturdy construction and depend- 1 able performance.

MANY MITCHELL
 CARS GIVEN FUR
 CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Judging from early reports re- ceived from our big dealer body" said R. C. Rueschaw, vice president of the Mitchell Motors company, Inc Racine, Wis, it is evident that the Society for the Prevention. of Useless Gifts certainly got in their goda work in great shape this year.
 The demand for Mitchells as Christmas gifts has usually been gratifying, but, this season, the fond est hopes of our dealers have been surpassed.
 While the unprecedented demand is undoubtedly due to conditions now existing in America, conditions call ing for more speed in business, great CT efficiency in the home, better health and everything that goes to keep us fit, still I cannot help but feel there must have beel, somethin. else that made the people of America buy more Mitchells than ever before.
 Nowadays pople are buying auto mobiles for a definite purpose They aren't buying cars because they just simply want them, but because they absolutely need and must have them to be able to play an important ana useful part in winnig the war. They are uSn-S greater care ana judgment than ever before. They are Investigating. They want to get the best that money will buy-not the best in the extravagant sense of the word, but the best from the purely utilitarian standpoint. ln other words this Lew era of thrift which is upon the American people has already had it's effect. The peo- pie are making every dollar go the limit, they are getting at least a dol lars worth for every dollar in tho atcual purchase. And in the use of | the merchandise they buy they are careful to get more than a dollar worth for every dollar invested. Just as a man can buy a five dol l lar hat and get seven dollars worth l of wear out of tiff he wants to- so can he buy a thousand dollar car and get fifteen hundred dollars
 of use out of tiff he gets the right car. Perhaps that accounts for the increased demand for Mitchell cars as gifts this year.
 Tt seems as if the holiday pur- chasers have been delaying their buy ing ultil the new convertible closed cars came on the market. At least
 that is the report which is heard
 from Mitchell dealers all over the
 country, who declare the Mitchell
 club sedan is the popular gift this
 season"

A most remarkable test of motor trucks has just been completed by the American Tobacco company or California in an effort to determine conclusively which truck was best suited for their purpose.
 Complete and exhaustive tests were made for economy, power, speed and durability. Ten trucks of different makes were used and in each case the truck was run for a number of days under trying conditions.
