Minor Improvements Only Add
to Value of Car Without
Changing One Model; Has
Longer Wheelbase.
The latest word in automobiles in
Omaha is the refined Maxwell car for
the 1918 season just received by C.
C Wray, the local Maxwell distribu
tor. Besides several important improve
ments, which greatly enhance the
value of the Maxwell there are many
lesser refinements which add to the
car's mechanical perfection, although
there has been no fundamental change
in the one model chassis.
In the Maxwell today the depth
of the frame members has been in
creased from three to six inches. The
former method of attaching the body
to the frame by the use of brackets
has been discarded and the body now
rests directly upon the frame itself,
which greatly strengthen the car.
The elimination of the noisy splash
guards, made possible by the change,
is appreciated by motorists. '
The wheelbase has been increased
by half a foot this season, its length
now being 109 inches. The body is
also roomier.
Another improvement is the com
pensating underslung rear spring now
used by the Maxwell. This type of
spring is the same that has recently
been adopted by many of the manu
facturers of the highest priced cars.
The longer wheelbase, with the un
derslung compensating rear spring,
not only Improves the riding qualities
wonderfully, but makes for even
greater "roadability" a feature al
ways noted in Maxwell cars.
There has been installed an im
proved strainer and sediment bulb in
th gas line. .
An electric lock controls the
starter, making it impossible to mesh
the pinion and fly wheel, while the
motor i$ running. A heavier pinion
is used in the rear axle. A larger
cat tank has an improved gauge and
filler pipe:
National Motor Cars Are

nursery jingle of "rich
man, poor man," etc.
The national capital, with Its diplo
mats and military ana naval attaches
from every nation, has a most cosmo
politan coterie of National owners, ac
cording, to George M. Dickson, presi
dent of the National Motor Car com
pany of Indianapolis.
"Cars bearing the Natjonat trade
mark wait in front of the Army and
Navy club for officers who are the
graduates of West Point and Annapo
lis," he said. "You also will see them
parked in front of the state and treas
ury buildings where their owners are

Members of the house and senate ride,
to and from the capitol in National

"The National owners of the na

newspaper publisher, a millionaire
turfman whose horse have won class

proprietor, physicians and attorneys."

Formal announcement of the new
Nash car , is made today. While re
cent developments at Kenosha have
indicated that the new Nash car was
practically ready for the market, not
until today's announcement was any
official assurance given by the Nash
Motors company that the new Nash
car was on its way.
The type of motor that is being
marlufactured for this new model rep
resents a step forward in motor con
struction. Those who have been for
tunate enough to secure inside infor
mation state that the engine is re
markable for its simplicity of con
struction; while it represents a
standard type of motor now in gen
eral use rather than anything radical,
yet it is. enough different to set new
design-of construction.

Overland Makes Record
In Climbing Mountain
Samuel" Bullman, theatrical man
ager of Dallas, Tex, in St. Louis, Mo.,
the other day told a story about the
touring efficiency of the Overland
Light Four, saying:
"May 28, with my wife and daugh
ter, I left Dallas and up to my arrival
in St. Louis, on my way home, trav
eled approximately 2,000 miles oyr
treacherous road without having lift
ed the hood of car, except for oil
ing purposes." .
Bullman'a tour took him through
Texas, New Mexico, Wyoming, Mon
tana, Yellowstone park, North and
South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Illi
nois and Missouri. His car, without
trouble, climbed the Rattoon pass,
which rises 12,000 feet in a distance of
twelve miles. , In one day he had to
ford eighteen creeks and small rivers.
Time after time, Bullman said, he
had to turn out for other makes of
cars, which were in distress, and more
than once he aided much larger and
more powerful machines.
Test Gasoline Used on
Actual Touring Trip
"Something educational rather than
spectacular" was the effect aimed at
in an economy test by the King Mo
tor Car company to test for the bene
fit of King owners the amount of
gasoline per mile required under or
dinary ttftiring conditions by a King
eight-cylinder seven-passenger tour
ing car, declares W. L. Killy of the
Noyes-Killy Motor company, Omaha,
Neb.
So a King Eight, not specially pre
pared in any way for, the run. was
started from Pittsburgh for Milwau
kee, a distance of somewhat more than
616 miles. In applying for a sanction
from the American Automobile asso
ciation, it may be mentioned, the
King Motor Car company requested
that the rules and regulations be of
such a nature that the record would
show a cai owner's economy test No
speed records were aimed at, the
principal object of the company be
ing to reproduce average touring con
ditions exactly.
Expect State Fair to
Be Good Car Salesman
"Much is looked for from an actual
sales standpoint at the state fair this
year by almost all of the automobile
dealers." says Mr. Hayward of the
Mclntyre-Hayward Motor company.
The immediate reason for this con
clusion is the upward trend of ma

The new car was unveiled before
the organization of Nash distributors
at the factory in July. It was re
ceived with the immediate approval of
thi new distributing organization,
which was gathered around the Nashi
Motors company by Oenerai sales
Manager C. B, Voorhis in record
time.

sneaks well for the personnel of the
Federal employes, and indicates not

years, but a deep interest in its future
progress and success.
People Buying the Higher

In speaking of the brisk demand for
higher priced cars, which is so evi

distributors, attributes it to a general
belief that car prices will advance ma
terially durinar the next year.
"Numerous orosoects we demon

that it is economv to buy the car they
