Manufacturers Record .J An Analysis of the 44 Road Speed" MAXWELL its' is a tribute to its special steels , * " . V; Men driving larger care have often wondered at the "road speed" of a Maxwell. True, in an open straight stretch they have run away from a Maxwell. But in any "piece of going" in which hills, turns, curves or rough roads enter iiito the general average, they do not outrun a Maxwell. The reason for this is the s^eci&l steels in a Maxwell. They are made to Maxwell's own formulae, and make possible construction combin ing great strength with light weight. > The lightness of the weight , enables a Maxwell to take a turn with more ease and le&9 slowing up, come down a hilj under better make more time over a rough piece of roadway. The strength of its steels enables a Maxwell to stand equally as well, or better, side strains, road uneven ness, etcr ? ' . . .. . n- . o & ' ?**': ' '? i ?' ?' ; _ In other words, a Maxwell makes speed when a larger car cannot, and thus evens up t b a high average its 'Voad speed" without breaking the speed laws.* This ability in a Maxwell is one of many that is winning ftew friendships daily.

Life in Country Today Compared j to Twenty Years Ago. Custom of Sleeping Outdoors, for In stance, |? Growing?What the "Movies" and "Canned Music" Have Accomplished. Twenty years ago the Inhabitant* of entire village-.. U(| iu N. w \ ??? k slut*' Ht least, seemed to tour fresh air o' UigliU uiiil slept with t hoi f windows closed. Night , ulr WAS not healthful, ti>*> iatit ? uiui u lot of tium lived to iu* ninety seven oven on that tJUeory?

In tho.se days If anyone had prac ticed Sleeping outdoors, even in si|li? iner weather, It would have caused H sensation. "(.'rucked, I swan!" the old farmers would have Mild. The change caipe gradually, prenuu ahly because the sbns and daughters of the old residents went to work In the large centers where opened win dows were , If not the rule, surely not the exception, remarks a w riter In tin* New York Kvenlng Sun. Now tho com plete change hits one fairly In the fare Whetl be returns to tin- ome airless districts of early youth. Night and day now the windows are whle open and sometimes even doors are never closed; no one thinks of liv ing without screens and mosquito net ting, even the poor In hollows and by Innes. The fninilles frequently eat out doors under the old apple tree, on red and white table covers or oilcloth or a bare scrubbed board. Like the omni present flivver that carries the clerk and his family to picnics along the roadside, the outdoor-eating habit has done wonders fof the. health and hap plness~6f~al!, particularly the country -TWIT ? ; rr* " Out-of-doors sleeping Is now well nigh a hnhit. lturdly a poreh In that country nowadays Is complete without a khaki swing couch, a made-up cot or one of the old time hard, haircloth "sofW with pillows and a patchwork quilt or two, ready for the sleepier. Most of these were hung with mosquito net curtains, looped back by day. Now adays' on. these outdoor couches are Veeu reclining m daytime the old tnftri of the family, lying at full length with his hare feet toasting In the sun. Twenty years ago he' would have slept In th<* dnrk>'nptl parlor behind closed pliuUci -; or. If very foolhardy. ISS titlght have been caught by watchful eye? of his family napping under the old apple tree. Yes. the country has come on ! Rut outdoor sleeping by rural ehll fnrmer's wife draws the line. It may he all right for grandpap and herself and husband, hiit she Is not yet sure about the night air for little lungs. So children's cots are hot seen upon the porches. They Still sleep within four walls and a celling. The city snd large towns have come to' "this airy regime through years of propaganda In newgpaperg, In churches and In social centers. The country ab sorbedif tfiroughujewspapers and inrtg aslnep. . But If there has been a notably change In the attitude of farm and vil lage folk toward fresh air there has been an .even greater change in their social life. The small town of twenty years ago Is not the small town o$ to day. Then they had church ^sociables. They may still lmv? them, but I do not know where. There used to be buggy rides and prayer meetings, and the greatest dissipation of the younger vil lagers was "going walking," with a pos sible "sody" at the Corner drug store. Booth Tarkliigton depicts these rural scenes truthfully, but his pointed view la now' o\it of date. The movies and "canned" music have recreated Village life. ' Even In those families where there Is no automate life Is n far ptensanter thing trfan tt was twenty year* ago. The movies en tertaln the whole family. And In the evenings, when the movies fall, the av erage soda fountain draws not with ice-cream cones and candy alone but with n rollicking, Jaz/.Inx mechanical player. The drug store ltas become largely a refreshment parlor ; l( Is now a sodal center. Young and old meet there ?nd strolling ami loafing have gone Into the discard. The. posing of. saloons may have helped, but even before prohibition the lilting notes 6f murtlc bores In Ice cream ' parlors began to woo the vil lagers. Twetoty years ago never was there such Joyousness In country life, such clothes worn by the young girls, such sang-froid among the boys, such nnive sophistication upon all. There xpoke the screen In Mary Plckford curls, In styles'' of" an exi rcidty, In a -youth's cane, In a girl's vamplsh slouwt. And all the Joy life. That Is the secret of the change that has come over vil lage habits of living. The cheap cost ef the photoplay and the graphophone has taught the public In out-of-the-way places to ?ef tnto the gmoe ; to life Joy ously. J* ~ ~~ ^ : ? T7. - Wood 8trong, Though Light.
