SALES OF 1915 MAXWELLS!
Tremendous Output Accomplished
Through the Co-operation of the
Motor Company's Dealers
The Maxwell Motor Company, of De
troit, realizes that the tremendous sale
of the 1915 model has been aecom-|
plished through the co-operation of its
dealers.
In the past, the Maxwell Company!
has divided tile I'nited States into foyr
districts with one supervisor and sev-1
eral salesmen in each district. This
plan of division has now been changed
and instead of four districts as before,
there are now six zones, each having
its own supervisor and one publicity [
supervisor. The zone supervisors are j
the direct medium between factory anil
dealer, while under the supervisor are>
the district salesmen, acting as his lieu
tenants. Each publicity supervisor co
operates with the dealers in his terri!
Tory, in advertising and newspaper I
work. The salesmen act as direct repre
sentatives to the dealer and it it their
frequent visits to the dealer" which j
keeps him in close contact with the fac-j
tory and main office in Detroit.

MOTORHTLES FOR POLICE
All Mounted Coppers Should Have
Them, Says Superintendent
Mayor Richard Sylvester, superin
tendent of police of Washington, D. C„
has reommended that all mounted po
; I icemen be supplied with motorcycles.
"The motorcycle has become the
! most effective means of accomplishing
not only hurried calls for police serv
. ice." says Major Sylvester, '"but it iias
! been found to be the greatest pre
ventive against violations of law by
! those operating motor vehicles, espe
cially in the suburban actions. where
, many unimproved roads prevent the
i use of bicycles. The application of the
inotorcvvle has gone to improve gen
• eral conditions in the force without an
! increase in the number of men em
ployed, and T believe the members of
j t.lie force assigned to mounted duty
should be given motorcycles instead of
| horses.''

to 'believe that there will be fun galore
aside from the clever vaudeville show.
Patrons arc invited to attend in mas
querade costumes anil the management
will award prizes to the best •creations.
Beautiful decorations and many other
festive schemes indicate that the Or
p/heum will have the biggest Halloween

who delighted Orpheum audiences once
before, playing the leading role in
'Lasky's "Antique Shop." Playing op
iiosite Mr. Norton will be Audrey
■Maple, a pretty and vivacious girl, who
is said to be one of thp prettiest and
most clever girls on the vaudeviHe
stage. "The Last Tango" is beautifully
| mounted, gorgeously costumed and tells
lan interesting tale that has beautiful
vocal a,n.l dancing interpolations scat
tered throughout. Adv.

The tiniest actor in the world is at
the Colonial, getting in all kinds of
ftinnv mixups and creating an upheaval
of laughter with children of all ages.
