mans were seeking British prey,
which they hoped to surround and
finish off when the ill fated airmen
had no way of escape. At they
neared the fighting front, they en-
countered two British airplanes.
Captain von Richthofen for some
reason separated himself from his
followers and started on a furious
pursuit of these machines.

Meanwhile a score of other British
planes came swirling up and engaged
the Germans. The captain kept

The thoughts of those who stood
at the grave while the army chap-

"The strike was instigated by some

doing police duty assisted by French

I Washington* April 23.—The navy
department has followed the example
set by the various bureaus of the war
department In ordering that a sub-
stantial cut be made in the number of
the reserve officers of draft age as-
signed to duty in Washington.
Instructions have just been issued
by the bureau of navigation limiting
the "shore service" of members of the
I naval reserve to six months, unless
unusual circumstances necessitate an
extension. Vacancies will be filled
as far as possilde with women or with
men above the draft age.

McPherson, Kan., April 23.—Walter
Cooperider, a farmer living nine miles

feathered last night because of alleged
disloyal remarks said to have been
made by him. His father, T. O. Coop-
erider, 90 years old, who has been
bedridden for the past year, was made
to kiss the flag.
IF YOUR EARS RING
WITH HEAD
NOISES
If y ou have Catarrhal Deafness or
head noises go to your druggist and
get 1 ounce of Parmint (double
strength), and add to it one-quarter
pint of hot water and1 a little granu-
lated sugar. Take 1 tablespoonful
four times a day.
This will often bring quick relief
from the distressing head noises.
Cogged nostrils should open, breath-
ing become easy and mucus stop drop-
ping into the throat. It is easy to pre-
pare, costs little and is pleasant to
take. Any one who has Catarrhal
Deafness or head noises should give,

Claims Are All Right
But Only Proofs Count
Any maker may claim for his product all the qualities there are. That is his
privilege. He |may even think his claims are justified.
You read the advertisements, so you know that makers, as a rule, are not over
modest in that regard.
If you believe them all, they all make super-cars.
In your experience, that theory doesn't hold.
Maxwell is different.
We never claim anything we cannot prove.
As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that has
not already been proved in public test and under official observation.
Maxwell claims are not therefore claims in the ordinary sense—they are state-
ments of fact—proven facts.
They are, in every case, matters of official record attested under oath.
For example: The famous 22,000-mile Non-Stop run was made with the
Maxwell every minute under observation of the A. A. A. officials.
That still remains a world's record—the world's record of reliability.
That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of a motor

car.
Among other things it still stands the world's long distance speed record.
Just consider—44 days and nights without a stop, at an average speed of 25
miles per hour!
And that, not by a $2,000 car, but by a stock model Maxwell listing at $825.*
You will recall perhaps that a famous high powered, high priced six in a trans-
continental trip made 28 miles average over a period of five days and eleven
hours.
Now compare those two feats—one of less than six days, the other of 44 days.
You know automobiles— which was the greater test?
Is, there any comparison on grounds either of speeder endurance?
Proves you don't need to pay more than $825 to obtain all the qualities you
can desire in a motor car—if you select a Maxwell.
For that Maxwell Non-Stop run was made, not on a track but over rough
country roads and through city traffic—average of all kinds of going.
And—listen to this.
So certain were we of the condition of the Maxwell at the end of that great
feat, we announced that at the stroke of eleven on a certain morning, the car
would stop in front of the City Hall, Los Angeles, for the Mayor to break the
seal.
Five seconds after he had pulled the switch plug and stopped the motor after the
44 days and nights continuous running, she was started again and off on a
thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers.
How is that for precision—certainty of action? That incident brought a storm
of applause from the assembled thousands.
Hill climbing?—this Maxwell holds practically every record worth mentioning—
es Socially in the West where the real hills are.
The Mount Wilson record—nine and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation!—waS
taken by a stock Maxwell.
Two months ago a 12-cylinder car beat that record by two minutes.
Then—three days later—a stock Maxwell went out and beat that 12-cylinder
record by thirty seconds! Pretty close going for such a distance and such a
climb—wasn't it?
So Maxwell still holds the Mount Wilson honors.
Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time a stock Maxwell against
any stock or special chassis.
Economy—also a matter of official record.
Others may claim Maxwell proves.
Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States on the same day
averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline.
Not dealers or factory experts, mind you, but owners -thousands of them—
driving their own Maxwells.
Nor were they new Maxwells- the contest was made by 1915,16, and 17 models,
many of which had seen tens of thousands miles of service—three years' use.
Nor could they choose their own road or weather conditions - all kinds were
encountered in the various sections of the country.
Good roads and bad—level country and mountainous regions—heat and cold-
sunshine and rain- asphalt and mud.
And the average was 29.4 miles per gallon!
There's economy for you. And under actuaraverage driving conditions—not
laboratory test.
But that isn't all.
The greatest achievement of this Maxwell was in its showing of speed and relia-
bility and economy all in the same run.
In that 44 day'^md-nights Non-Stop run, though no thought was given to
either speed onlffllnomy, it still remains a fact of official record that the Maxwell
averaged 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles per hour.
Now you know that speed costs— and that economy tests are usually made at
slow-speed—-closed-throttle, thin mixture conditions.
You know too that you can obtain economy of fuel by building and adjusting
for that one condition.
Speed you can get by building for speed. Any engineer can do that.
But to obtain that combination of speed and economy with the wonderful
reliability shown in that 44-days Non-Stop run -that car must be a Maxwell.
