Grand Chief Ranger William Myers of Bridgeport, Grand Secretary Thom- 4s O'Loughlin of Naugatuck and Grand Lecturer Frank J. Murtha of this city were the three state officers who spoke, each driving home the im- portance of this work to strengthen the protection that the order is fur- nishing to those who are serving their country. They called to the attention of the membership that the charters of the courts had been opened making this a most favorable time for securing new members before the end of the drive on June 30 and urged upon the New London county courts to put in such work .that they would have a proud place when the results are counted up. The death benefit, they explained to the members, is §200 for any man in the service and this is entitely as- sumed by the supreme court without calling upon the treasuries of the lo- cal courts, but a dollar from each s e st gt e R R SR S el S U R D HOPING TO WED BEFORE HE SAILS Unexpected Transfer From Camp Devens Disarranged Plans For Pul- len-Piper Wedding.

Sunday morning when v fifty sailors ate breakfast at al Young Mén's Christian As- sociation building. The association anthorities desiring to do everything possible to make things homelike for the enlisted men ng the city arranged for a home ooked breakfast in the lobby at 9.15 o'clock. Previous to the time of and during the eating, James Drew made things interesting by playing selec- tions on th epiano including patriotic and war songs and the sailors in large numbers gathered around the piano and entered heartily into the singing: this feature proved very popular. Just before the men finished eating, Secre- tary Hill gave a brief talk, telling the men how glad the Y. M. C. A. arg to welcome them to the first Sunday breakfast, and he stated that in all probability this would be a regular ‘event on Sunday mornings. He asked the men to give the name of their na- tive ~tate and this proved very inter- fully fifteen states being repre- and many far distant states Herbert W. Callup, representing the Y. M. C.

Social activities at the college which have been unusually gay and numerous this season reached a cli- max in the brilliancy and college spir- it manifested at the sophomore class ance, which was held in the gymna- sium on.Friday evening with 130 couple in attendance. Class. banners,: ferns and pahms decorated the gymnasium, while gay streamers ‘of green, orange and blue hung from the rafters of the building and floated amid the daneers.

That is hl' privilege, - He jmay even think his claims are justified! You read the advertisements, so you know that makers, as a rule, mnp;wu“ ”z ) modest in that regard. o) If you believe them all, they all make super-cars. / In your experience, that theory doesn’t hold. Mazxwell is different. We never claim anything we cannot prove. igits As a matter of fact we never have claimed anythmg for this Maxwell that has not already been proved in public test and under official observation. Mazwell claims are not therefore claims in the ordinary sense—they are state- ments of fact-—pmven 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 rehabiiity. That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of a motor car. g ? Among other things it still stands the world’s long distance speed ‘recora. Just consider—44 days and nights without a stop, at an average speed of 25 miles per hour! 5 And that, not by a $2,000 car, but by a stock model Maxwell Hsting at $az3. You will recall perhaps that a famous high powered, high priced six in & trans- continental trip made 28 miles average over a period of five days and eleven hours. Now compare those two reats—one of icss tan Sta Qays, the other Ol 44 qays. You know automobiles—which was the greater test? SR Is there any comparison on grounds either of speed]or endurancez J 3 Proves you don’t need to pay more than $825 to obtain all therquafitg‘;;m can desire in a motor car—if you select a Maxwell. For that Maxwell Non-Stop run was made, not on a track but ever- rough country roads and through city traffic—average of all kinds of going. And—Tlisten to this " So certain were we of the condition of the Maxwell at the end of that gre:at feat, we announced that at the stroke of eleven on a certain morning, thecar 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 andstopped the motor after the 44 days and nights continuous mnmng, she was started again and ofl' ona thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers. How is that for precision—certainty of action? That incident brougnt a storm of applause from the assembled thousands. Hill chmbmg’——thxs Maxwell holds practically every record worth mmbomng— especially in the West where the real hills are. The Mount Wilson record—nine and one-half miles, 6,000 reet clevauoni—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-cylinaer record by thirty seconds! Pretty close goine for such a distance and such a climb—wasn’t it? So Maxwell still holds the Mount wwiison nonors. Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time—a stock Maxwell against any stock or special chassis.’ Economy—aiso a matter of official recora. Others may claim—Maxwell proves. e Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States on the same day averaged 29.4 miles per gal}on 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 Dy 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 kmds were encountered in the various sectmns ‘of the country. Good roads and bad—level country and mountamou.s regions—neat and coid— sunshine and rain—asphalt and mud. And the average was 29.4 miles per gallon! There’s economy for you. . And under actuaI" average dnvmg oondmom—-—m;" laboratory test. ; el But that isn’t all. The greatest achievement ‘of this Machn wasin fts s?xowms o?speed and rel‘tl-v bility and economy all in the same run. 2 In that 44 days-and-mghts Non- Stop run, though no thought was given to either speed or economy, it still remains a fact of official record that the Maxzwell 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, thm-nuxture conditions. You know to:;h;t you can obtam eeonomy of fuel by bufldinz for that one condition. at Speed you can get by building for speed Any engineer can do thew i But to obtain that combination of speed and, economy with the wonderful reliability shown in that 44-days Non-Sto; ml;,*that car must be a Mazwell. 2110 ; A .
