without trouble of any kind, covering
the entire 565 miles on iWi gallons

"The test not ' only proved the
goodness of the good Maxwell, but
confirms the opinion of all Maxwell

economical car.

A nation wide advertising aml-mer-cliaiidi.siiig
caiupaign started this
month for the 'Tre.-' air valve lock,
which has been invented to prevent
tire valve leakage and end Inflation
troubles.
This new lock rcplafcs the ordinary
rubber seated air-valve in the auto'
mobile tire and is attached by taking
out the valve msides and screwing
the new lock onto the valve stem
curcly. It is all metal and locks the
air passage.
"l;or 15 years there has been no
Improvement 111 the ordinary trre
valve," says H. J. Adair, vice presi
dent ol the Ircxlcr company. Wc
feel that thousands of motorists have
been waiting for just this badly
needed improvement. We have had
a wonderful response from all who
have seen this lock. We feel it is
one of the finest inventions for" the
automobile since the cord tire and
frees the motorist from one of his
most arduous duties."'
The Trex lock is being marketed
through established jobbers and deal
ers. Several national mediums and
trade papers are being used as well as
billboards, counter displays and other
types of dealer helps.
The advertising and merchandising
campaign is being placed by the
Campbell-Ewald Advertising agency,
New York City.
, Scraping Pedal.
Many drivers of motor cars have
been annoyed by a scraping sound
when the brake pedal is depressed
and frequently no reason can be dis
covered for this condition. As a
mater of fact, it usually is caused by
the pedal touching the flywheel or
the sheet metal covering touching
the flywheel. The remedy consists
in either filling a little off the pedal
or in making the throw shorter.

Neighborhood Stations to
Omaha Antoisis.
The Spraguc Tire and Rubber
company have established 10
branches for the sale of their tires
in Omaha. Havinii clout nearly
$500,UHI in retail tire business dur
ing VUl, and having planned an
advertising and sales plan that will
double the previous years mppijcss,
they were forced to find additional
outlets.
These handy Spraguc stations, as
they arc called, have been located in
the outlying neighborhoods for the
convenience of automobile owners of
Omaha. A very complete system ot
free service has been; installed and
with these greatly enlarged facili
ties the Spraguc company .will be
in a position to continue .their free
road service to an even greater ex
tent than they have in' the past.v
Stock will be carried, at neighbor
hood garages and prices on Spraguc
tires will be the same at these sta
tions as it is at the mill.
A very efficient delivery, system
has also been designed to take care
of the requests for tires that the
sub-station may not have in stcek
at any particular time. This will
mean a great deal to the automobil
ists of Omaha, because there will '
be a garage in each neighborhood to
take care of their tire troubles and
give , them satisfactory service.. ,'
Because of the high cost of gaso
line in South Africa, motor fuels are
manufactured from sugar cane, corn
and certain classes of cactus, all of
which provide a plentiful supply of
alcohol. ,

Maxwell Beats Larger Cars
in Races at Lorraine, Tex.
A Maxwell stock car recently dent'
onslrated both its stamina and speed
in races held at Lorraine, Tex., It
won the 10-mile race for stock cars
selling under $1,230. even from high
er-priccd cars which were allowed to
enter because the list of entries in the
class was small.
In the big event of the meet, which
was a free-for-all of 25 miles and
in which were entered a large num
her of cars of many makes, the same
Maxwell stock car took second place,
finishing just one second behind a
Hudson speedster,' which won. the
race.
..In this race the Maxwell made the
besr showing ever made under simi'
lar conditions for light stock car,
showing an average of 58 miles an
hour.

iiut to points far removed. Cars
which arc recovered in Detroit some
time have been bronchi there from
the Pacific coast as well as from far

A favorite scheme of the shrewd
stolen ear merchant is to pass himself
off as the representative of an insur
ance company, in this way accounting
plausibly for the low price he is a'k
iug for the car. The farmer is con
sidered a good stolen car nrosnrct.
and if the stolen car broker finds a
fertile field for his wares in one farm
community, he may go back again
snd again, disposing of his cars in
that .vicinity. That is why 'whole
fleets of stolen ears are sometimes
driven back to the cities by detectives.
