Glee Gaar, 18-year-old son of L. O. Claar, head of the Claar Transfer company. Council Bluffs and Omaha, is in the Edmundson hospital suffer ing from injuries that may prove fatal, inflicted when a steel carbonic acid gas tank; exploded. The acci dent happened late Thursday after noon at Treynor, 12 miles from Coun cil Bluffs. XI. - Young Claar had taken a truck load of merchandise to Treynor for delivery to merchants. Among the articles was a freezer of ice cream and the soda fountain tank for the II. A. Koblf restaurant. ' Claar had backed he auto truck to the curb and had lifted the ice cream from the truck and had turned to carry it into the i tore when the tank exploded. . The plate glass front and the whole torner f the store were blown out and Claar was blown into the wreck age. His clothes were nearly all torn from his body, only the waist band of bis overalls and trousers re maining. The flying glass and debris from the building injured several persons inside, one boy, 10 years old. named Maas. severely. The wrecked tank shot upward more tha 400 feet and fell on thes Treynor garage a block away, smashing a section of the roof and tearing out a corner of th buildinsr. First aid was given 'young Claar fcy Dr. Stevens, "Treynor physician, and the boV's parents notified. They drove quickly to the village, accom panied by Dr. Treynorr-The physi cian said there were no seriously jcontused wounds and the boy ap neared'to be suffering from shell ahnrk. . - ' Tli iteel caissons in which the 'compressed gas is handled contain a minimum pressure of 1,800 pounds to the square inch, and the. gas rapidly xnands when exoosed to the sun's heat: Examination of the base of the tank is said to have disclosed an old break.

Sutphen of the Brandeis theater returned from New York just in time to Teceive a tele gram from Klaw & fcrianger, teuing iim that the Henry Miller Pacific coast tour had been given up.

Ina Claire and Cyril Scott have the leads. The date is August 30-31.

' The agreement, if carried out, would be fifty-fifty for these factions at the state democratic convention at nasi Held Under Heavy Bonds For Assault Made' On Little Girl F. A.

The democratic county central committee win meet Saturday afternoon in the Paxton hotel. A county convention will be called for next week. "The Jacksonian club will never die. We must keep alive the princi ples and faith of Jacksonianism," de Clares Mr. Weaver, who is regarded as the dean of the "Jacks." "Give the Jacks half of the dele gates to the state convention? Well, no( so thatanybody could notice it," exclaimed one of the Jims. "The Jacks are entitled to just 13 delegates to the state convention, and that is all they will get if I have anything to say about it." Chairman Dahlman of the county committee is inclined to hold out the olive branch to the Jacks, whom he fought bitterly on former occasions, notably at the time of the last state convention. T. J. O'Connor, formerly city clerk under the Dahlman regime, will file for the democratic nomination for county clerk.

Tyl.r 2462 , "featureless es.H By that we meant that no one feature was better than any other and none lew efficient oreffecti?e. Uniformity is the outstanding quality of Maxwell . design and construction. Apropos that, we are frequently asked what par ticular detail of the motor is responsible for the tremendous mileage per gallon of gasoline obtained by Maxwell owners. If you ask an owner he wiH almost to variably ghrs the carburetor most of the credit. Now, obviously the carburetor must be a good one. If it were not, it would prevent, even If itMid'riot accomplish the result. But a good carburetor docs not make a good motor carnor an efficient mixing vahe alone an efficittnt motor The factors that made that famous ''Noo-Stopf . record possible, and the test in which 3,000 ov.'ner driven Marwell Motor Cars averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline were many. Every detail of motor design had to hfcifr" every proportion just right in rtlstta to every other one. s . ,f Piston displacement, valve dimenaiona and irake lift, compression, balance everything in pcecwe ratio and correct relation to every other detafl. Twould require a volume to tell how MaxweP engineers achieved that splendid result Just as k required long years of practical manufacturing experience to know how. Of course the carburetor helps but equatfy so does the electrical system. By the way, if this were the kind of motor car in which any one feature stood out above others, we would emphasize that electrical system. But it isn't. Maxwell results are uniform. Those results are the product of a combination of many features not of one or two only. Similarly, if one owner achieved a sensational mile age or a high degree of reliability, that would prove nothing. , , That happens with a3 makes of cars the poorest included. : ' ' But for 3,000 owners to average 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline; .
