motor CAR 
When you ride in it you will realize 
that it has all the responsiveness, 
comfort and power you wantina car. 
It gets away instantaneously and 
skims the road silently and smooth¬ 
ly, without motor vibration or side- 
sway at high speed. The motor 
seems always to have more and still 
more power when occasion requires. 
There is no choking at low speed in 
high gear, and there is an unusual 
freedom from gear shifting. At 
full speed there is scarcely a tremor 
of the motor. 
These qualities evidence the fine 
engineering skill that has been 
employed in manufacturing and 
assembling the entire power plant; 
but they are not the only qualities 
that enable you to realize to the 
full the delights of motoring. 
The one-man top with its Jiffy 
curtains, for example, assures you 
instant protection against inclement 
weather; and the car’s unusual 
roominess, the depth and softness 
of the real leather upholstery with 
its filling of natural curled hair, 
the design of the seats, and the 
buoyancy and sensitiveness of the 
self-lubricating springs, make you 
unmindful of distance. 
The 30-35 horsepower motor is cast 
en bloc, with removable head, which 
allows the valves and pistons to be 
easily cleaned. 
The rear axle is of the full floating 
type, with Timken bearings 
thruout. 
Imported Swiss bearings are used in 
the clutch and transmission. 
The electrical equipment includes a 
waterproof Eisemann magneto for 
ignition and a 12-volt Northeast 
motor generator for the starting 
and lighting system. 
The steel body, finished in ebony 
black, has a pure streamline from 
tonneau to radiator. 
The oval moulded fenders, the grace¬ 
ful cowl and the shapely hood, are 
all distinctive in appearance. 
These features are evidences of 
quality, but no list of specifications 
can tell you the story of the car as 
completely or as convincingly as 
the car itself. 
The wheelbase is 110 inches 
The price of the car complete is $785

EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC.—The Pacific Mail Steam¬ 
ship Company, operating one of the larg¬ 
est fleets in foreign trade under the Amer¬ 
ican flag, announced, April 16, that all 
sailings after November 2, 1915, had been 
cancelled because of the new seamen’s 
law, which will go into effect November 
4. The company operates with Chinese 
crews. 
A bill of impeachment against Mayor 
Donn M. Roberts, recently sentenced to 
serve six years in Leavenworth Peni¬ 
tentiary for election frauds, was passed 
at a special session of the Terre llaute, 
Ind., City Council April 16. Among 
other things the bill charges that the 
Mayor has diverted public funds to his 
private use, has sought to disrupt the 
efficiency of the Police Department and 
has been convicted of a felony. 
Carmine Carbone and Frank Abarno. 
the youthful anarchists who placed a 
bomb in St. Patrick’s Cathedral. New 
York, on March 2, were sentenced. April 
19, to serve not less than six and not 
more than twelve years in Sing Sing. 
The court was strongly guarded for fear 
of an anarchistic outbreak, but there 
was no disorder. 
Rumors that Japanese warships were 
sowing mines and establishing a naval 
base in Lower California, at Turtle Bay 
are without foundation. The Japanese 
are working there to float the battleship 
Asama, which went ashore some time ago. 
A dynamite bomb, powerful enough to 
wreck the east wing of the State Capitol 
Building was found. April 20, in the of¬ 
fice of the Printing Commissioner at Den¬ 
ver, Colo. The explosive was removed 
before any damage was done. 
II. Clay Moss and Mrs. Hattie O’Neil, 
were arrested at Paris, Ill., April 21. 
charged with corrupt practices in the city 
election. Warrants for other prominent 
citizens, among them several women, have 
been issued. It is estimated that 200 
votes were bought for from $3 to $12 
each. 
Twelve persons are believed to have 
been killed and 20 hurt at Birmingham, 
Ala., April 21. when a five-story wall of 
the Steele-Smith Building, on Second 
Avenue, crashed down on the Hahn shoe 
store and the Atlantic and Pacific Tea 
Company’s store. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—The Maine 
Agricultural College is organizing boys’ 
potato clubs and girls' canning clubs. A 
number of different towns have appro¬ 
priated money at their town meetings to 
be used for prizes in this work. Special 
efforts in this work tire being made in 
Aroostook, Hancock, Waldo, Washington 
and York counties, some work being done 
in other parts of the State. 
The New York State tree nurseries at 
Salamanca are said to have sent, out a 
million and a half seedling trees this 
season. 
The American Academy of Arborists 
was recently founded to maintain prac¬ 
tical arboriculture and landscape forestry 
on a professional basis. The officers 
elected for the first year are: President, 
Herman W. Merkel ; secretary, J. J. 
Levison; vice-presidents, William W. 
Colton, R. R. Maxwell; hoard of direc¬ 
tors, James II. Walker, George A. Cro- 
mie, Harold J. Neal. 
Robert P. Skinner, the American Con¬ 
sul-General, at London, has asked the 
Procurator-General to Intend special 
treatment to ships carrying American ap¬ 
ples which are detained in British ports. 
The Consul-General explained that while 
the apples kept well on the voyage they 
deteriorate rapidly in port because of in¬ 
sufficient ventilation in the holds, and 
said that Oregon and Washington apple 
growers would be heavy losers unless the 
cargoes were released quickly. The 
American steamship Seguranca, from 
New York for Rotterdam held at Deal, 
and the Norwegian steamships Albis, 
Lapland and Kronprins Olav, also from 
New York, are among the vessels affected. 
A new weekly forecast designed es¬ 
pecially to aid farmers in planning oper¬ 
ations and to help shippers of perishable 
produc to handle their goods with re¬ 
ference to weekly conditions was inaugur¬ 
ated, April 20, by the United States 
Weather Bureau, and it will he contin¬ 
ued during the crop season. The bureau 
has arranged a system whereby the fore¬ 
cast will be taken on Tuesday and reach 
the weekly newspapers, especially in the 
corn, wheat and cotton districts, by mail 
on Wednesday morning. The forecasts 
will cover the week commencing Wednes¬ 
day. They will be telegraphed to State 
distribution centers, where they will be 
immediately printed and put into the 
mails. It is expected that the forecasts 
will be ready for mailing from the distri¬ 
buting centers at 3 or 4 o’clock each Tues¬ 
day afternoon. 
The American steamer L. V. Stoddard 
arrived at Wilmington, N. C., April 21, 
from Rotterdam with 2.200 tons of mur¬ 
iate of potash. This is the first cargo of 
German potash received here since the 
European war began. 
In setting forth an incident of local 
heroism a country-paper reporter fin¬ 
ished up neatly : “As he flung the blazing 
oil-stove out the window, Mr. Perkins 
stumbled over a chair and sat down 
amidst some ignited shavings on the 
floor, the flame from which caught his 
clothes. By quick action and a ready 
wit he escaped with his life, but his 
trousers were burned almost beyond rec¬ 
ognition.”—Everybody’s.
