ALBUQUERQUE MORNING JOURNAL
STRENUOUS ORDEAL
FOR MAXWELL CAR
IN BRITAIN TEST

The Manchester Guardian, one
OF England's leading dailies and
often conceded to exert influence in
the United Kingdom second only to
the London Times, related in a re-
cent issue the remarkable story of
a severe test given a Maxwell tour
ing car by staff writer of the
Guardian--a story that goes far
to explain why this popular Ameri-
can make has gained widespread
favor with the British motoring
public.
The strenuous work to which the
Maxwell was placed was occasioned
by the desire of the northern mo-
torist' - the pseudonym Of the
writer--to see what this Detroit
made car would do in the hilly,
rocky, rugged country of Northum-
berland and Derbyshire.
OF the difficult test trip north
ern motorist" has to say the fol-
lowing: "In this case the trial
ground was over a part of the
broken back of the Pennines, a
hilly district with unexpected corn
ers rising sharply up to one in four,
over rugged limestone roads, mar
row but with wide grass verges,
roads with gradients that provide n
pretty good test of any cars climb
ing powers and Of the efficiency of
brakes.
There are long, stiff gradients
on these tops, length and pitch
alike deceptive because they run
through open moorlands, but
known to me since my cycling days.
There are also awkward and abrupt
corners Not once was it necessary
to drop below second speed and on
that the car showed a marked live
liness. In district like this a live
ly second gear Is desirable IL one is
to get any enjoyment out of motor
ing, not because OF the speed of it,
but because 9th rwise there would
be far too much changing down on
TO low gear and uncomfortable
grinding along, The second speed
Of the Maxwell was we'll on top of
its work, and therefore may be as
sumed to be adequate for any hilly
country. Top gear was quiet and
effective, giving q turn of speed
thGt would satisfy any man save
racing driver a speed far above
anything that ought habitually to-
be attempted. The suspension was
excellent. over those bumpy up
land roads the springs damped out
well; there were bad patches that
were felt, but against this must be
set the fact that there was but one
passenger in the rear seat, and that
these patches were taken at speed
In conclusion. he says, ITO sum
up, 1t may be said that the Maxwell
is a lively machine with a strong
but quiet pull, good climber, COM
Portable in accommodation and
easy to drive and control"
According to NJ. II. Wood local
Maxwell dealer. this recent testi-
monial to Maxwell fitness is in re-
iteration of the admiration prevI-
ously accorded the good Maxwell
in England where the first de-
I ands of tha motorist are for pow
err, economy, and comfort.

LEADING FACTORIES,
AMONG THEM CADILLAC,
FEATURED IN PICTURES

To promote the sale of American
manufactures at home and in for
eign lands, Herbert Hoover, United
States secretary of commerce, has
given his support to production OF
motion pictures showing actual
manufacturing processes in some
of>the country's leading industries
In cooperation with the depart
lnent of commerce, the Cadillac
Motor Car company has completed
film picturing "the story of a v
type, eight cylinder, motor car" to
be included in the governments
film series. The scenario was
planned particularly to show those
refinements of manufacture by
which American industry combines
standardized production with skIll
and accuracy in creating a high
grade product.
IN addition to distribution
through the department of com
merce, the department of education
will make the films available for
technical colleges, institutions OF
visual education and many other
colleges and universities; and the
Cadillac company will exhibit them
to the motoring public through its
countrywide organization. They
Dear the official seal of the depart
ment of commerce and no changes
in them are permitted
At the outset, the film unfolds
q panorama over factory roofs
which cover more than as acres Of
floor space--the home Of the car
and guild house of more than 1000
craftsmen.
1t then carries the spectator to
the Lhysical and chemical labora-
tory, and thence within the factory
proper. 1t features single opera :
tions showing how extreme accur-
acy can be combined with quantity
production.
Aided by 100000 candle pow
er Sunlight arc, the camera has
recorded faithfully and without
favor minutest details. The pro-
Jector returns to the audience in
the course of the play interesting
examples of machining operations,
careful tests, and uses of many
guages and indicators.
What has especially impressed
spectators at preliminary showings
has been the clearness with which
delicate processes and exacting tests
necessary to production of a high
grade engine, can be wildly de-
picted by the all-revealing device
of the closeup" An owner, seated
before the silver screen, sees a
trusty worker-maybe one who has
worked on his very car-carefully
measuring parts to small frac-
ton of hairs breadth.
In producing the film, the cinema
photographer has reveled in taking
"close-ups" and medium close
ups" They give one in the audi
ence an impression of standing at
the very elbow Of skilled and sea-
soned artisans. The trip through
the factory becomes intimate and
personal, and continuous action on
the screen carries the spectator
from the first pouring of metal in
foundry, through machining and
assembling processes in factory to
arrival of the finished masterpiece
at the loading dock.

CLOSED CAR TODAY
COMPARED TO A
WELL DRESSED WOMAN

'It was but a few years ago that
the closed car was merely an ad-
junet to the regular line of types
produced by automobile manufac-
turers and the demand for this
type was nothing to be compared
with the Unprecedented demand
that exists today" said an eastern
automobile dealer here last week,
LAS one looks back at the prog
rcss made in automobile body con-
struction during recents years, one
fact is pre-eminently evident and
that is the freakish type of body
has lost favor with the public. To-
day the closed car conforms with
the standard practices of the car
makers. Body designers are guided
by the desires of the public and
dignity in design is the vogue.
LAS O famous designer Of wo-
mems modes so aptly declared,
The well dressed woman of refine
ment should be attired so that she
is not conspicuous but yet COM
mand attention by the good taste
she displays so it is with the aver
age closed car Of today. They are
beautiful. dignified, practical and
built for utilitarian purposes.
Figures recently issued by the
National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce state that the 1929 pro-
duction will exceed 100000 motor
vehicles alone, During the second
quarter of 1922, the entire industry
produced 10000 motor vehicles
with 1,137,000 cars and trucks for
the full six months. Generally
speaking, the closed car is used as
utility vehicle and because it is
SO adapted to all seasons its popu-
larity has increased by leaps and
bounds. Since the days when Phoe-
nicians journeyed westward, man
has striven to better mode of travel.
He sought rev means of express
ing himself ard as centuries went
on. civilization and transportation
became co-partners moving down
the ages hand in hand.
1.-THE invention of the wheel was
the most important step in promot-
ing progress and is comparable
only to the compass which guides
mariners when out of sight of land.
Steam engines helped to quicken
the transportation movement and
more and more individuals sought
rapid and better transportation.
with the advent of the motor
car, 1t was believed that the last
word in transportation had been
found because of its independence
of such things as schedules. time
tables. etc, to which the average
man had been heretofore bound.
The automobile opened up new
avenues Of transportation. New
roads were built. Progress has ad-
vanced with the advent of the
motor car and today its importance
is felt throughout the world"
