Another remarkable touring record was established by a stock Maxwell touring car on Friday, December 1, when Ray McXamara piloted a car from Indianapolis to Chicago and re turn, 376 miles, in nine hours flat. The unusual average of 41.7 miles per hour was maintained over roads that were not in the best of condition, due to recent rains, followed by cold weather. The run was made to estab lish an official record for the Hoozier Motor !Club and it was officially ob served by officers of that organization, the Hoozier State Auto Association and Indianapolis newspaper men. The Maxwell went the entire route without any. mechanical trouble. A stop of fifteen minutes was made at Chicago, where gasoline and oil were taken on. The car was also delayed by a blowout and twice at railroad crossings by freight trains. Beats Train Schedule. On both legs of the journey, the Maxwell made better time than the swiftest trains between Indianapolis and Chicago. McNamara's time be tween Indianapolis and Chicago was I four hours and fifteen minutes, Deal ing the fastest train between tlie two cities by forty minutes. On the second leg of the journey, from Chicago to i Indianapolis, the time was four hours and forty-five minutes^ which is flf , teen minutes faster than the schedule time of the Hoozier Limited, the j speediest train running out of Chi ;! cago to the Indiana capital. Carried Four Passengers. The car carried four passengers. A ' stock model, with no special equip , ment, was used. j The Chicago-Indianapolis run was . made at the instance of the Cole Sales . Company, Maxwell dealers in Indian . apolis, who posted a challenge to all cars selling at 51,000 or under, no challengers appeared, so the Maxwell run was made without competition. McXamara, who drove the car the whole route, recently made a similar run in a Maxwell touring car across Michigan and back, 350 miles, going the distance in nine hours and forty five minutes. Ii the Phrase of the Day. A somewhat rapid city man, ac cording to a story that is going the rounds, says The Outlook, remarked to a farmer friend: Thursday we ai'toed to the country club and golfed till dark, then trolleyed back to town and danced till morning." The farm er "got back' in this language: 'Tre baan havin' some time myself. Wed nesday I muled to the cornfield and -Seehawed' till^ttwlerwn. "TtowT i YOp norprt tin darV rvDed till nine.
