ROX- MAXWELL CARS IN PREST-O-LITE TEAM Two Maxwell cars, rafting under the banner of the Pre.st-O-Lite racing team, have been entered in the sixth annual International sweepstakes race to be held on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 20.

Eddie Kickenbacher and Henderson are nominated as drivers. Henderson was a Duesenberg protege and won his spurs in the Duesenberg saddle. Itickenbacher painted such a picture of success at the wheel of a EVERY INCH A CAR Maxwell that he persuaded Henderson to join foice.s with him. Rickenliacher believes he has in Henderson a lind. The Maxwell cars, which many believe were originally the product of the brain of Ray Harroun, have been rebuilt and improved extensively, and Rlcken- bacher, although usually as talkative as a sphinx, has confided to his closest friends that he has some unusual speed under his hood.

He is familiar with the Indianapolis track and will be on the job early in practice. He is what is known as a savage at the on the jump, and never knows what slow up means unless an accl- dern or lack of fuel forces him. He has iir.iins, as well as physical endurance, and is by many to usurp the position held such stars as DePahna, Burman and Resta.

Friction wears out more automobile machinery tliiiii anything else. It makes too many gtiod ears grow old prematurely. The diivers of many of the big racing cars have found the answer and applied the anti-friction remedy.

They use graphite grease for their transmissions and differentials, and everyone that has used it speaks of it in words of praise. With a German Drum Canadians Taunt Teutons Wearying of a life of comparative idleness far back of the actual fighting line, away from the trenches and around divisional licadquarters in Flanders, a battalion of Canadian soldiers, mo.stly men from the western prairies, men of outdoors and accustomed to a life of freedom and activity, sought amusement. Cow-punchers, many of them were, with the mischievousness and simplicity. Life palled. They were within the sound of the guns, but they were not firing themselves nor were they having the thrill of being fired on.

So Idle hands manufactured trouble. This particular battalion was without a band, although it had musicians, and so a band was con- ludered essential. Month organs there were, but these was not enough, a band was the only thing that would do. But in that shell-swept area, where shops of any sort were few, no instruments were to be had. And as the soldier forages for food, so started a campaign for musical instruments.

Once upon a time the community of Dieppe had a town band, but that was in the old days, and the members of the band long since have pone to the front with the French forces. But their instruments remained behind, in the town hall. This alluring fact wa.s discovered by the men of Saskatchewan and Alberta, and one morning the battalion had the nucleus for a splendid instruments all told. The night before there wa.s not a trace of of next morning there was. all there is to It, and even the official investigation that followed has not served to prove anything more.

'The eight instruments, however, were not enough. There was, for instance, no big bass drum, and for many a tlal air a big bass drum is essential. Especially necessary is it to the playing of the Russian national anthem, which has an importance which afterwards developed. The Canadians in the rear sent word to their comrades at the firing line. They wanted a bass drum.

They needed a buss drum The firing line is about the last place to seek one of these instruments of melody, but It was known that the Germans across the way possessed not only a liass drum, but all sorts of other instruments. So the Canadians determined to make the matter one of national honor and supply their needs from the enemy trenches. In September came the big British effort to break the German lines. Trench alter trench was taken from the soldiers, and in one trench in particular, where il was known there existftd a hand, the assault, was especially vigorous and the capture sfieedy. Thus the Viass drum and the other instruments ei-sentiai to a plete band were, found, and sent to the rear to the men from the west.

was not long before the battalion had a splendid musical organization. Finally this battalion moved up to take its turn in the trenches. At that moment there came news of a Russian victor.v in the cast. The Canadians, well entrenched in trenches that once were German, found a German scholar who, in German, painted a great sign telling of the victory of the. Russians, and hoisted it over the trench.

The Germans, only a few yards away, saw it through their periscopes, and a cry of Teutonic rage went up, emphasized by a shower of hand grenades and Tljen the Saskatchewan band struck up the Russian national air. From deep down in the trenches, where the musicians sat on the ground and blew for all they were worth, the magnificent strains of the grand and holy air came upwards. The muffled boom of the German bass drum gave body and soul to the inspiring hymn. A storm of bombs was the German response, making so much noi.se that the band desisted, the Canadians sitting tight, in perfect safety, 10 feet below the surface When the Germans tired of bombing, and there came a lull in the conversation, the band Instantly struck up again; the all terrible, Him who Swift winds thy chariot. Tlio iishtnins tliy Once again the Germans furiously bombed their enemies.

Throughout a whole day the thing was kept up. The Canadians, fitting with their backs to the trench-side, their feet straight out, and instruments pointed toward tlie sky, took up the majestic hymn whenever there was a silence, and that night, with the Germans worn out by the exhausting work of the day, the Canadians, who had been resting through the whole day, ceased their music, and made life for their enemies miserable through the night by a constant bombardment. GARFORD MAN PAYS VISIT Sales Manager Williams in Boston KILLING REINDEER FOR EXPORT TO GERMANY The Swedish government has permitted the killing of 6000 reindeer for export to Germany. This number will later be increased to 80,000, if the demand proves as large as Is expected. The first shipments of reindeer meat have already arrived at Luebeck and Stettin.

The action of Sweden means that Germany will obtain 8,000,000 pounds of excellent fresh meat, as the reindeer weigh about 100 pounds each. The of the meat is in the hands of the municipalities which import it. S. M. Williams, sales manager of the Garford Truck Company, was in Boston during the past week looking over the local situation, and he expressed himself as immensely pleased with the progress being made by Manager Twyman in popularizing Garford trucks in this territory.

Mr. Williams is a firm believer in the great value of good roads toward promoting the value of farms and real estate, and also as a very important matter in the general transportation of merchandise by motor vehicles. During the past year Mr. Williams has been calling the attention of all manufacturers of motor trucks and motor cars to the necessity for concerted action and support in the good roads movement. So thoroughly impressed wa.s Mr.

Williams and the other officials of the Garford Motor Truck Company with the importance of this work and its value to their individual interests that they were determined to prove the value of the good roads movement to the other manufacturers of motor-driven vehicles. A questionaire was therefore mailed to every automobile dealer in the United States, requesting information as to the road conditions in each territory and the Influence upon both the motor truck and motor car businesses. To anyone who has not given the mat- ter consideration, the replies received from 3440 legitimate dealers are astonishing, and more so when you realize the little interest manifested by the industry as a whole toward the improvement of such conditions. The fact that less than 10 per cent of our public roads guarantee the economic or dependable use of the motor car or motor truck shovlld be pnough to bring every manufacturer into line, ready to roll up his sleeves and put his shoulder to the wheel to help make the good roads movement a While the industry decided against supporting the. movement through the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the importance of good roads on the future of the motor truck and motor car businesses is not diminished in the least.

In fact, with production facilities doubled and tripled, the visible demand for motor-driveu vehicles will soon ho filled and then manufacturers will bo confronted with the problem of taking care of the enormous output of machines which they are equipped to handle. It, therefore, behooves them to give careful attention to any suggestion which will increase their market. A new and increased demand for motor trucks and motor cars will keep step with the progress of good roads through the country, and the sooner manufacturers realize that it will require much effort on their part to bring about this improvement, and take concerted action to make it possible, the sooner will this tremendous market be available for the distribution of their products.
