DETROIT, Nov. 22.—Officials of the Maxwell Motor corporation are declaring today that the nation-wide reception being accorded Walter P. Chrysler's latest creation, the new good Maxwell, is the greatest and most enthusiastic ever given a Max- well product. It is even more enthu- siastic than the reception given the first good Maxwell three years ago. Thousands upon thousands of per. sons—the motoring public, automo bile distributors and ¢ mobile factory repre factory executives every motor car company, to: with hundreds of r aut bile ers, auto tives and m practically ether r and on men— the Maxwell rooms throughout the countr ee the line of cars that publict proclaims to be without a peer among four cylinder motor cars in the world, and from which, he adds, results have been achieved which surpass those hitherto at- tained from \any four cylinder car. “The tremendous and outspoken enthusiasm with which the public has greeted the new Maxwell per mits us to arrive at but one con: clusion,” J. E, Fields, vice president in charge of sales, said yesterday, “and that its that the new car is making just as profound a sensation as dl the Chrysler itself.

A car on the right side of the street {s permitted to cross through approaching traffic on the left-hand side and park on the left-hand side with the car pointed in the right hand direction.

But in London turns of any kind seem to be per- ‘mitted anywhere. And the reason for it Is that London's strects are so Irregular. London’s traffic moves more rap- idly than that of New York but not as rapidly as that of Paris. Smallness of cars makes possible a more flexible trafic than In New York. The student of traffic who goes, to London and: Peris and the other Continental cities and then returns to New York realizes that New York has probably the best traffic regulation in the world. And New York should’ have because Ameri- ca has long been the leader of the automotive industry. Of the 18) 000,000 cars in the world more than 15,000,000 are in America.

Mr. Lister, driving an Oakland Six which he took over with him, was enthusiastic over the joy of touring in his own car and suggest- ed that trips through England and Scotland especially should be made in a motor car—your own motor car. “One may rent a car over there,” he explains, “but I am sure it is much better to have your’ own car with which you are entirely fa- miliar, My motor trip in the high lands of Scotland was a delightful experience.

This was the last we saw of the car until it was unloaded on the pier in Glas- gow, equipped with British license Plates and membership in the auto- mobile association, This is part of the steamship service.’ Mr. Lister gives an interesting ac- count of the activities of the British automobile association. He said that one of the unique services ren- derea by the association was the employment of scouts to ride the highdways to render aid to motor- {sts belonging to the organization. “The Automobile association of Great Britain is' a splendid organ- ization,” he explained. “The most conspicuous evidence of contact be tween the association and its mem- bers is the motorgycle and bicycle scouts, who patrol the highways. THis association maintains tele- phone booths along the highways, and garage agents. It also publishes @ list of accredited hotels. Among the facilities in these hotels, toilet cabinets are providedwfor members ef the association in which can be found needed articles, including towels, comb and brush, etc. Each member is furnished with a key with which to open the telephone booths and tollet cabinets, “The association scout, as a rule, is kind and accommodating, and whenever a member of the associa- tion passes him on the highway, if he is dismounted, he immediately brings himself to attention and sa- lutes. While riding he is also re quired to salute the members as they pass. The scouts carry a first-aid kit and a small repair equipment, The highways in Scot- land and England are very good and are macadamized.
