Secretary McAdoo’ felt that the needs of his family were such that he had to get out and make some money. It will be remembered that many a Cabinet officer has complained that he could not stand the pace in Washington on $12,000 a year. For Franklin Lane there ts really no future in public life. He ran for Governor of California about a decade ago, and was appointed to the Interstate Commerce Commission by | President Roosevelt. He resigned from the Commiasion to become Sec- retary of the Interior in Mr. Wilson's Cabinet. He is the only Democrat of prominence who can truthfully say that men as opposite as Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were his close friends, This was because, while a Democrat, Mr. Lane has al- ways been a Progressive and it was Wis boast after the 1912 campaign that he carried to the Cabinet meet- ings of the Wilson Administration a copy of the Bull Moose platform, and when 1916 came he used to point with Margaret Murray, -#eventéen years old, of Hoboken, is tho chief accuser against six men under arrest in New York charged with" the alteration and passing of altered United States currency. Margaret, who says she has “reformed,” testified that it was she who passed a large part of the doctored money turned out by the band. The chief method used by the band, was to paste the clipped corners of $10 bills over the corner fig- ures of $1 notes, making the “doctored” bill resemble a regu- lar ten—pfovided the regipient did not take the trouble'to scru- Unize it too closely. The girl says she was allowed $2 on every bogus bill she disposed of.

Each carries the same average passenger weight, travels over the same roads, and at the same speeds. Per potnd of metal the cost to make each is about the same, , One lasts just about as long as the other. The mission of the Mevwell is to carry the samo load, over the same roads, and at the same speeds at extremely .low costs. That is highly efficient transportation, It is expensive to haul dead weight. Therefore, every superfluous pound has been eliminated. Light but strong metals have been used. These are the quality metals, They provide the “toughness,” the wear, the ‘ability to stand any strain and shock; and yet they are light in weight. \ This is the secret of the Maxwell. It explains why a Maxwell delivers a mileage —that is inexpensive —that is troubleless —that is almost endless, The greatest efficiency- economy record ever made is held by a Maxwell, It ran 22,020 miles con- tinuously without one single stop of the engine, carried a full passenger load, averaged 22 miles to the gallon, at a speed of 25 miles an hour! The story of the Maxwell and its great acceptance by the world is a story of its metals. For in five years 300,000, have been built, and these have made many friends, 1920 production increases to 100,000 Maxwells. Which will supply 60% of the demand. $985 f.0.b, Detroit.» Maxwell Motor Sales Corporation New York Branch, 1808 Broadway Corner 59th St., New York City Phone Circle 5550 OPEN EVENINGS BRONX BRANCH, 175th Street and Grand Concourse Brooklyn Distributor Maxwell—Chalmers Sales Corporation 1410-14 Bedford Ave., Brooklyn, N.
