Homeless Dog Wags Tail
Whenever Scout Passes By
A tawny-colored dog of neglected
appearance found his place in the sun
last week on the sidewalk in front of
the city hall and Bee building, seem
ingly dividing his time between the
two buiidings. He sprawled out oil
the walk as if heedless of the passers
by, feet outstretched and head flat on
walla and eyes closed. He was' a large
dog.' People rushed by, gave the dog
a look and hurried on, because one
dog more or less did not interest
them. This dog was homeless and
had placed himself where somebody
might take pity and say, "come along,
poor old fellow, I will give you a
home." But none seemed to want
such a forlorn specimen of dog with
out' pedigree or references.
A boy happened along and stopped
to pat the poor creature. The boy
cast a pitying glance and in that
language which only a boy and a dog
can understand told the dog to
cheer up. The dog wagged his tail
and licked the boy's hand, which
meant much in canine language The
boy was a Boy Scout whose training
taught him to be kind to animals.
The lad .seemed to sense the dog's
hapless condition. He skipped away
and when he returned he gave, the
dog a piece of sausage which the
hungry creature ate with great relish.
Every time this dog sees a Boy Scout
pass by, he raises up his head and
wags his tail as a salute, thinking it
is the same Boy Scout from whom he
received the remembrance. ,

MAXWELL TRUCK IN
SPLENDID GAS TEST
With Green. Driver, Stock
Truck Goes Nearly Eighteen
Miles on One 'Gallon
of Gasoline.
Seventeen and eight-tenths miles
on one gallon of gasoline was the
remarkable performance of a Maxwell
one-ton truck. ,
This marvelous economy demon
gtration of the Maxwell truck, loaded,
was accomplished in traffic in Detroit
and over rural roads adjacent to the
city.
So far as shown by available data
the Maxwell truck performance is by
far the biggest mileage on a gallon
of gasoline ever made by any truck.
It is believed to be the world's record.
With New Driverl
, Two features of the economy test
make the Maxwell accomplishment
more wonderful the driver had never
before driven a truck, and the road
used did not allow of any coasting
to increase the mileage. An average
speed of about 15 miles was main
tained.
The test was officially observed by
three disinterested persons. They
were W. D. Edenburn. automobile
editor of the Detroit News and local
renresentative of the American Auto
mobile association; C. G. Steinflauer,
automobile editor of the Detroit Jour
nal, and E. W. Sullivan, secretary of
the Detroit Automobile club.
Lefore making the run the truck
was loaded with a Maxwell touring
car, weighing 1,970 pounds; the driver,
weighed 210 pounds, and Mr. Sullivan
tins the beams at 200 pounds even.
The gross weight of truck and load
was 5,525 pounds,
A stock Maxwell truck was used.
with one of the famous Maxwell one-
gallon red tanks attached. Under the
close scrutiny of the three observers
the gallon tank was filled with gaso
line. .
