8 RUNS MAXWELL 60,000 MILES Machine Has Appeared in Hundreds of Movie Show Houses The Maxwell owned by Edgar E. Blackwell was among those present when Columbus discovered America; when the Mayflower drew up to Plymouth Bay and the pretty rU grim maidens set foot on Plymouth Hock this ear was nearby. It has been on the scene while half a hundred battles raged. It has edged up close to ambushed red- j skins. ~ j From tall lights to top buckles It has been shaken by giant expo gions of the present war for tins car has been in the movies.

He bade farewell to the old standby yester day. then stepped into a new Max- | well. " . ] Mr. Blackwell has himself been ! more or less intimately connected : with the motor car game since the ( days when it was a iaw in England . that every "steam driven omnibus ; must be preceded on the road by a [ man on foot, carrying a red flag. When E. It. Thomas built his tirst j car in the old bicycle shop in j Buffalo, Blackwell was there. He | so desired to possess one of the new I cars that he placed his order at once | and obtained one of the very tirst 1 of the 100 •"one-lungers," which Thomas turned out in 1907. This car he drove until 1903 when he I purchased a car of another make and j of far more substantial construction, i for it held together until 1910, when | he procured the Maxwell. The old Maxwell was driven 60,- ; 000 miles. It lias covered every inch j 01 the road and much plain, roadless , "landscape" in Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and Callfornia. v It has been used time and again for a camera: stand in BlacKweil motion picture work. . , It has often appeared in scenes, j After the car liau been driven 50,- | 000 miles its owner drove it from j Keno, Nevada, to San Diego, and, made no repairs during the entire, Journey. , . . But all things made by the hand of man must come to an end. The staunch road conquereor has seen its day. . . As a farewell trip Blackwell drove the car to San Francisco and back last week, and then bade it good- j bye, gave it to the junk man, and: purchased a new 1917 Maxwell from | the Lord Motor Car Company of L,os Angeles. Blackwell is confident that the rec- ! ord of the older car will be upheld i by the handsome new Maxwell j which has taken Its place. Hudson Racing Team Has Victorious Season "No team of racing cars has ever ! shown such a record for consistency j as the Hudson, which has just ended a record-making season on the I speedway. A dirth of speedway i events has compelled the team to withdraw for the balance of the year," says L. H. Hagerling. "The action was a disappointmfint to many motor enthusiasts for the Hudson was foremost of the teams tngaged on the speedway and its short but brilliant campaign decis- j ivoly established it's title as champ ion of the American Speedway. "In one event American speedway , records for 150 and 200 miles were; established at an average of 104 j miles an hour. "Track records were established at Chicago, Cincinnati and Omaha. ! The fastest time ever recorded at i Taeoma and Minneapolis was made i by the Super-Six Special, and j claims for the t'ack records will be considered by the American Auto- ' mobile Association. "Here is the unmatched record ; of the Hudson Super-Six Specials in | this year's nine championship races, ; held i:i Cincinnati, Chicago, Omaha, I Tacoma, Uniontown and Mlnneap- j olis. "Twenty—Two entries were made. | All save one finished within the j money; an accident forced that one car out. "Hudson Specials won firsts in four events; second iu six; third in two; , fourth in three; aijA sixth, seventh j and eighth in one e^cli. Speedway raring has done much to develop the motor car, revealing j weaknesses of construction and ; teaching engineers wherein certain j faults can be corrected. It wasj through building race cars that the i foreign makers reached their high workmanship in motors. Not until j the Hudson Super-Six went on the I speedway this year has any car of ] purely American design succeeded in . winning speed honors. The Super-Six Specials were mod- : iflcations of the stock car. They j were built to demonstrate the Hud- j son endurance and, therefore, 'fol- I lowed Hudson stock construction. I The Hudson race team's only trouble | was with tires. Because the cars adhered closely to stock design they outweighed the special racing ma chines against which they were pit ted by from 600 to 800 pounds. The handicap was not only a weight handicap, however. The Hudson had ' power enough to pull the equivalent I of four heavy passengers extra, and thllll to win at will. But this addi- | tional weight wore heavy on tires at j high speed, and frequent stops were | necessary to change tires." Will Treat Offenders Alike at Police Court Everyone will receive the same treatment in Alderman Nicholas'" court, the alderman announced yes- I terday when he imposed fines for breaking city laws. The laws were made to lie observed, said the magis- ! irate, and all offenders will be treated j E. A. Ef ( im was arrested on a j charge of running ahead of traffic In Market street subway. The fine was t5. J. F. Kiehl was before the court charged with lunning a street car with a big searchlight In use on Cameron street. The motorman ex plained that children were playina on the street and he used the strong light for less than two blocks, for the protection of the youngsters. The fine was $3. William Brown, of Pax tang, appeared tor his son William, who was charged with driving his car with bright lights at Front and Vine streets shortly after 8 o'clock. Mr. Brown said that the lights were so poor in that district that it was un safe to operate with dim lights. MARRIED AT ALTOONA Liverpool Pa.. Aug. 18.—Leon L.
