 A REAL SENSATION
Reveals Beauty and Goodness Here tOfOrc Unknown to It's Glass

 Tn both the closed and open models of this Maxwell is seen a distinct ad- vance In motor car design and con struction,
 1t is a finer car than preceding Maywells, retaining and improving upon the good mechanical points which gave the Maxwell such a name for scr,iceability, low costs and good performance.
 The radiator has been moved slightly forward to give greater body length and is larger, thus raising the hood and giving an appearance of strength and massiVencss at the front end.
 Drum type head lamps, nickel trimmed, of the type used on cars of the costiest range, give an added dash of beauty and good style.
 Disc steel wheels demountahle at the hub and rim, are standard equip ment on all models, although wood wheels are optional, Straight side cord tires, 31X4 inches, are standard equipment and so is Alemite chassis fabrication.

 In all models careful consideration has been given to the placing of the steering wheel. pedals and control levers so that the car Is extremely easy to handle and driving comfort is assured.

START GERMAN
TRADE WAR ON U.S..
Teutons Engage in Terrific Trade
Drive in All Parts of the World in
Effort to Stife Competition.
BY w. H. ATKINS,
international News Service stan

Washington, July German
trade kings are gambling their ma
tional financial security away in or
der to relieve lost commercial ground
| in foreign fields. This is evidenc-
ed by latest reports from Berlin to
Secretary of State Hoover. Utter
disregard of price cutting and 9TH
er German tactics, as that course may
effect internal fiscal affairs, is re-
vealed by these dispatches from
American trade observers in Central
Europe.
Significant of the treend in Ger
many is the fact that German bust
ness failures and bankruptcies are
increasing, The number of bust
were increased four-fold, as com
pared with last year.
Germany continues, upon an even
larger scale than was in evidence
earlier this year, the price cutting
war, aided greatly by the Govern
ment subsidies to industry of all
kinds. Germans are making a ter
rife trade drive into all parts OF the
world. This push OF German trad
ers, aimed TO uproot competition
everywhere is going on with success
even without the aid OF big German
fleets owned by the Government be.
fore the war
Forign countries are buying heaVi-
ly from Germany and ignoring the
goods Of American and other pro-
ducers, because the German quota
tions are so low that bidding against
them is impossible. Reports today
showed that millions Of dollars
worth of American made goods are
piled up on the piers OF South Ameri-
can ports, tied up because of cancel
lations of contracts covering them,
while German goods OF all kinds are
flooding into those trade fields.
Cheap German money is big fac
tor in this flood OF loW-priced Ger
man goods. South America and
other countries have deprecated cur
rency can buy at much lower figures
from German manufacturers and, be-
sides have a distinct advantage in
the low exchange value of the Ger
man mark. Germany, aided by Ia
Dor at low wages, Government sub
sides and goods put out at relatively
low overheaed costs, is able to in
tensify this trade ewar against Amer
lea, and Government officials are
alarmed over its effects and the need
for American protective measures.
