RECORD RUN |MADE
BY MAXWELL OVER
MOUNTAIN TRAIL
Covered 14SH Miles in Sia
Hours, 18 Minutes, Sacra-
mentO to Reno.

Another record has been hung up by
the good Maxwell on the coast, accord
ing to w. NJ. Thurston, local Maxwell
Chalmers dealer.
Following closely on the heels of the
record smashing performance of the
good Maxwell in the recent run be-
tween Portland and Oakland, comes
information of another privately owned
good Maxwell beating the time Of the
fastest train between Sacramento and
Reno.
AS on the Portland Oakland run. this
latest achievement was the result of
bet.
l. NJ Seymour. of San Francisco,
wagered Fred Rheinsmith, assistant
manager of the Sacramento hotel, that
he could beat the train to Reno with
his good Maxwell.
Rheinsmith accepted the bet and
went along to see that nothing was
put over On him.
The good Maxwell covered the dis
tance of 14S1a miles in six hours and
is minutes. beating the train by two
hours and 80 minutes.
The run was made through congest-
ed Sunday traffic and the remarkable
part of the test was that in climbing

Barney 0ldfledd says:
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU DRIVE.

A famous cortoonist / know could
easily get up some interesting pictures
on What motorist thinks about
when he is driving" l know that many
car owners think of nothing in partic-
ular and that is why / am writing this.
Some of them think of the folks back
home, others about the garage bill and
many about why the engine overheats.
In doing all this thinking while they
are driving they forget all about what
they ought to do. A driver at the
wheel Of motor car must watch the
road ahead, he must keep his eyes on
the other users Of the road and never
for a moment relax his vigilance. 1t
many accidents happen. After years
Of driving one gets into the habit of
watching and it doesn't amount to work
at all. One can be at perfect ease and
still use his eyes and brain in driving.
When you are driving along city
street, or street in your own town it
is absolutely necessary to keep your
speed down. Speed is the one cause
of great deal of accidents. It is not
the 40 or 45 miles an hour in itself,
but the fact that your car won't re-
spond' to braking action properly at
that speed. just because you sound
2 the horn to man in the middle of the
road and he doesn't hear you is no rea-
son. for running him down. If he
doesn't hear you it is up to you to
stop. Many drivers will not see a
pedestrian or even another car until
they are right on top of him because
their minds are far off.
Much Responsibility.
Do you know that the driver of a mo-
tor car has as big a task as the driver
of locomotive? l know the number
of passengers he is driving isn't the
same, but the degree Of responsibility
is there, nevertheless. The engineer on
locomotive must not take his eyes
away from the signal towers or the
track and he must not let his mind
wonder. He may have trouble at home
ne may have money worries. but these
must not interfere with his work: 9TH
erwise he is likely to pass a signal and
cause an accident. Why then should
not a motorist watch his signals"
which are the street corners, the pedes-

MAN MUST WORK

"Man must work-that is newt
abFe," says Henry Ford, "He may
work grudgingIy, or he may work
gratefully; he may work as man
or he may work as slave. He
cannot always choose his Wdrk
hut he can 90 about it in a cheerful,
generous temper and with an up
looking heart. There is no work SO
rude that he may not exait it; there
is no work so dull that he may not
enliven it. But-he must work."

trian, the child playing in the streets,
the car ahead. the careless driver, etc.
| There should be no need for rear
signals, no need for special right and
left turn signals. If the driver in the
| rear is watching as he should he will
know what the car ahead is going to
| do. A driver should not be travelling
| so fast or so close to another car. that
an accident will occur if the driver
| does something without notifying the
driver in the rear The rear driver al
ways should watch and be ready in an
| instant to make a left turn to clear
the car ahead. Special signals are
helpful. but they do not remove the
cause of accidents which is neglect on
the part of the driver. Sometimes the
driver ahead is at fault because he
drives on the wrong side of the road
or makes turn in the wrong direction,
or in the middle of the street where
one never expects 1t.
Blind Turns in Country.
On country roads drivers seem to
be lacking deplorably in the strict rules
Of safety. Many blind turns are made
in the middle of the road. On wide
Dads you will find in so many cases
You will find this so even in big cities
where there are wide streets. On such
thoroughfares there should be two
divisions separated by white stripe.
Cars running 10 miles per hour or less
must stay on the right hand divisions
, and cars going over 10 and up to %
as the law permits in most cities should
take the inner or left division. There
ought to be no passing if car ahead
is travelling at the legal maximum.
When you drive along the road, it
is. of course. all important that you
keep careful lookout. anticipate err
rors on the part of the other fellow.
give the pedestrian the right of way
and so on. But you have your car to
think about occasionally. But it
should be only at long intervals. Like
the locomotive engineer who watches
his water and pressure gauges. you
should casionaly take a look at the
ammeter and the oil gauge. That is
all you have to watch outside Of an
occasional glance at the speedometer.
If YOU want to admire the scenery on
crowded road if you want to watch
an aeroplane. stop your car on the
side of the road.

bearings on the crank shaft before
tightening.
Could the babbit in the bearing be
too soft to stand high speed?
Do you think after tightening all the
bearings and the oil working fine, the
speeding of the engine had anything to
do with melting out the bearings ?
E. w. r.
This looks like a case of bearings
tightened too much and the engine run
too fast thus preventing the bearings
bearings in this fashion is common
thing. You must permit parts to work
themselves in slowly.

Can't Burn Out Raw
Battery in Service,
Says J. L. Gillin iii

You can't burn out the Ray battery
in service" says John l.. Gillin, Ill,
distributor for Ray batteries in this
territory with any other battery,
when driving long distances or at sus-
tanned higher speeds in summer, as
in touring, causing your generator to
deliver a steady high charge to the
battery, it is necessary to. burn your
lights to keep the battery from over
heating-boiling, and finally cell Or
two from burning out. This burning
out is simply sulphation Of the plates
to such an. extent that they must be
eplaced-invoivin interruption of
service from your battery and expen-
sive repairs.
Regardless of how fast or far you
drive, the Lavier formula plates in the
Ray battery will not be injured by
the charging from the generator. You
can't burn it out in service.
Again. with any other battery
failure to remember to fill the battery
frequently with distilled water, SO per
mitting the electrolyte (the liquid to
run low, will result in burning up the
plates-particularly in warm weather
Naturally, we do not recommend that
you neglect to water your battery, but
in the event that you happen to be
one of the hundreds of thousands, who
do forget that battery needs water,
your Lavier formula plates will not be
ruined.
This ability to render service when
the plates are only partially covered
by electrolyte, is a remarkable demon
stration of both the greater capacity
and the Rays ability to withstand the
severe attacks of harmful sulphation. :"
