Ubor Temple Always Open.
The Labor Tcmpie is open every night
In the week tor lectures' and discussions,
for musical Instruction, both vocal and
Inttrumental, and on every Friday night,
prominent lecturers on the English Bible
give addresses. There Is an average of
about fifteen meetings every week, the
object of the temple being to provide a
center which will minister to the social and
religious needs of the people of Ne v York's
east side.
During the last twenty years over eighty
churches have either moved out of the
district below Twentieth street, or else
they have failed. The Ienartmnt of
Church and Labor of the national Presby
terian church, of which Mr. Stelrlo la tho
superintendent, has undertaken, In the
Labor Temple enterprise, to demonstrate
the possibilities for the church In the f old
which has so largely been forsaken by the
churcheM. If the plan succeeds during the
two years' trial period, six months ' of
which time has already elapsed, the valu
able piece of property upon which the
Labor Temple stands Is to be purchased
and a modern, adequate building erected
upon Its site.
The experiment Is being watched by the
churches and social workers throughout
the country.

Mr. Lockwood, "has four departments,

Maxwell Model Q-ll, 4 cyl. 22 H.
A PUBLIC test of the Maxwell Car and a horse and
buggy on the streets of New York and its suburbs,
under actual conditions of traffic, has just been completed.1
It Proves Beyond Dispute
That the automobile is undoubtedly an
economy.
That its low cost of operation surprises
even its advocates.
That the extravagance of the motor car
is voluntary and unnecessary.
That its pleasures are within the reach
of men of moderate means.
That it is an indispensable factor in
transportation and a utility.
That it is an implement which, if prop
erly employed, will increase the earning
Test Officially Sanctioned by the American
Automobile Association
We invited the Contest Board of the
American Automobile Association to
conduct this test in order that it might
be in absolutely disinterested control.
The board appointed judges to attest its
results.
The two vehicles ran each day over a
predetermined route. Each ran con
tinuously for six hours, regarded as a
normal day's work. Account was kept
of every item of expense entailed. The
The Results Attested By Its Judges
The automobile cost am of a cent per
passenger mile to operate.
The horse and buggy cost lVioo of a
cent per passenger mile.
The car covered 21, times the distance
traveled by the horse.
The car averaged 76y,0 miles a day at a
cost of $1.03.
The horse averaged 32i0 miles a day at
a cost of 95 cents.
The car required 5!2 gallons of gasoline
and a pint of lubricant daily.
This is our answer to the charge made that the automobile is an extrav
agance. This proves that it is an economic factor that would save mil
lions if the Maxwell were everywhere substituted for the horse and buggy.
We have always been unable to fill orders promptly in the spring and
summer. In order to stimulate early season business all these cars sold
during the next 30 days will be

Each day a different route was laid out,
in order to cover all conditions of city
and suburban traffic and all sorts of
roads. One day they covered the dense
ly congested districts of the city; another
day they ran in infrequently traveled
suburban roads. Everything was done to
make the test normal, actual, eminently,
fair and conclusive.
The horse needed 12 quarts of oats and
20 pounds of hay per day.
The other expenses tire cost, up-keep
and depreciation or similar charges
brought the total cost of the car up to 1818

The other incident expenses of main

total cost up to 2'2 cents per passenger
