Maxwell onc-ton truck completed,
with its arrival in New York last week
a $500 mile durability and gasolenc
economy demonstration which extend
ed from New York to Jacksonville. Fla,
and return.
The Maxwell has been put on dis
play in the Maxwell local rooms as
the outstanding feature Of motor
truck show. Harry J. De Bear. the
branch manager, has invited hundreds
OF New York business men to INSPECT
the record-maker and to acquaint
themselves with its attainments.
The trucks demonstration drive WAS
under the requirements Of the first Of
fetal sanction written by the Amcr-
can Automobile Association, New York,
to apply to truck test. Mr.. De Bear
was informed upon the trucks retur,
to New York that in durability and
operating economy the car had sus-
tanned the claims the Maxwell Com
pany makes for the product.
One Of the features Of the cars
showing was that on the trip the truck
transported three different loads. 1t
carried ton Of canned goods from
New York to Atlanta. In Atlanta it
took aboard ton of leather goods and
canvas--a bulky load that filled the

body clear to the canopy top. At
Jacksonville, Fla, the most difficult
load Of all was arranged for. This
consisted of four barrels Of resin, each
weighing more than 500 pounds. This
load it brought to New York.
THE truck passed through every
conceivable weather condition, from
summer-like Florida to the zero condi-
tions of the last week in the North.
The demonstration was accomplished
by the truck in one month. The car
was stopped at various army camps in
Dixie.
The route Followed was: Leaving

Newark. Philadelphia, Baltimore.
Washington, Richmond. Greensboro
and Charlotte. N. c.. Spartanburg. s.
c., and Atlanta. Ga. It then went to
Macon and Jacksonville. ending the
first half Of the run. Leaving the me-

Savannah, Augusta and Columbia, S. c.
1t then went North through Pinehurst
and back to Richmond, Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and to New

Uncle Sam is best for all. and that it
stands unequivocally for all.
There is feeling in official as we'll
as in civic circles that after the auto
mobile plants have fulfilled their obli-
cations and handed over to the gov
crnmont Whatever facilities arc neces-
sary for the manufacture Of munitions
they can best fulfil their duty to help
win the war by building lots of cars.
Thus this year will see many Of our
factories busy night and day supply
ing the boys "ovcr thcrc" with their
requirements and the folks left behind
with theirs. In both these duties--to
the soldier and to the cviian-the
materially to rout the Huns.
For just as physical fitness in the
soldier is the prime essential on the
battlefield, so it is equally important
that there be at hand every facility to
prompt and energetic action ON the
part of those at home.
There is scarcely phase or feature
Of business life which the automobile
has not entered with beneficial results.
1t carries thousands where railroads and
strcetcars cannot penetrate. 1t is
ready at--call; 1T saves minutes and
often hours whore no other transporta-
tion can do it. 1t multples the pos
sibiltes Of individual effort. 1t in
crcases MANIFOLD the producing ca
pacity Of communities.
These facts arc more generally real
lied since we entered the great war.
People have ceased to think Of the
automobile in terms of pleasure. They
know. by proof of eye and personal
experience, that it is a great and in
dispensablc utility.

"From the government standpoint,
how would we efficiently get food,
clothing, ammunition and other nee
cssary fighting equipment to our armies
without motor cars? We could not
do it and at the same time compete on
an even basis with the opposing forces.
100000 Trucks in Europe
ain Europe there are already 100000
motor trucks in war service, not to
mention the tens Of thousands Of pas

100000 French troops in passenger
cars, omnibuses and taxicabs from be-
hind Paris for the Battle Of the Marne.
Verdun was saved by motor trucks

that could have been obtained in no
other way:
British knight motored tanks, q
product of the automobile industry,
brought victory at Cambria.
Heavy guns, so essential in this
war, are hauled into position by motor
vehicles. Armored motor cars have
been used most successfully against
rife and machine gun fire.
"The Liberty airplane engine was
developed in automobile factories BY

be built by the tens Of thousands this

ducers also developed the standardized

"Already, we are making not only

Double Valve Principle
In Auto Encines Not New

The double valve principle in auto
mobile engines is almost as old as
the automobile industry, but the use
of it heretofore has been srasmodc.
Double valves were used in racing cars
in the French Grand Prix. the Savan-
nah Grand Prix Of 1907 and the last
500mile race at the Indianapolis
Speedway. British engineers employed
the double valve system in the AIS
horsepower aviation engines. At about
the same time it was made the basis
of White engine design to produce
high power and ncxibility in a simple
and economical four cylinder car.
