Alllta Must Have Wheat Enough to Maintain Their War Bread Till Next Harvest. If we are to furnish the allies with the necessary proportion of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the next harvest, and this Is a military necessity, we must reduce our monthly consumption to 21,000,000 bushels month 41s. against our nor mal consumption jf about 42,000,000 bushels, or 60 per cent, of our normal consumption. This Is the situation as set forth by the U. S. Food Adminis tration at Washington. Reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for special cases, leaves for gen eral consumption,- approximately 1 pounds of wheat products weekly per person, the Food " Administration's statement continues: ; Many of our consumers are dependent upon bakers' bread. Such bread must be durable and therefore requires a larger propor tion of wheat products than cereal breads baked In the household. Our army and navy require a full allow ance. The well-to-do In our population can make greater sacrifices In the con sumption of wheat products than can the poor. In addition, our population In the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abundant, ara more skilled In the preparation of breads from these other cereals than the crowded city and Industrial popula tions. - With Improved transportation condi tions, we now have available a surplus of potatoes. We also have In the spring months a surplus of milk, and we bars ample corn and oats for hu man consumption. The drain on rye and barley as substitutes has already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains. . To effect the needed saving of wheat wa are wholly dependent upon the voluntary asslstifhce of the American people and we ask that the following rules shall be observed: 1. Householders to use not to exceed total of 1H pounds per week of wheat products per person. This means not more than 114 pounds of Victory bread containing the required percentage of substitutes and one-half pound of cooking flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, all combined. v 2. Public eating places and clnbs to observe two wheatless days per week, Monday and Wednesday, as at present. In addition thereto, not to serve to any one guest at any one meal an aggregate of breadstuffs. macaroni. crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, containing a total of more than two ounces of wheat flour. No wheat products to be served unless specially ordered. Public eat ing establishments not to buy more than six pounds of wheat products for each ninety meals served, thus con forming with the limitations requested of the householders. VS. Betallers to sell not more than one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any town customer at any one time and not more than one-quarter of a barrel to any country customer at any one time, and In no case to sell wheat products without the sale of an equal weight of other cereals. 4. We ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume of Victory bread sold, by delivery of the three-quarter pound loaf where one pound waa sold before, and corresponding proportions in other weights. We also ask bakers not to Increase the amount of their wheat flour purchases beyond 70 per cent, of the average monthly amount purchased In the four months prior to March 1. 5. Manufacturers using wheat prod ucts for non-faod purposes should cease surb use entirely. 6. There Is no limit upon the use of other cereals, flours, and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, et cetera. Many thoussnd families throughout the land are now using no. wheat prod ucts whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes, and are doing so in perfect health and satisfac tion. There Is no reason why all of the American people who are able to cook In tbelr own households cannot subsist perfectly well with the use of less wheat products than one and one- half pounds a week, and we specially ask the well-to-do households In the country to follow this additional pro gramme in order tha we may provide the necessary marginal supplies for those parts of the community less able to adapt themselves to so large a pro portion of substitutes. In order that we shall be able to make the wheat exports that are ab solutely demanded of us to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the sliies and our own amir, we propose to supplement the voluntary co-operation of the public by a further limita tion of distribution, and we shsll plnce at once restrictions on distribution which will he sdjusted from time to time to secure as nearly equitable dis tribution as possible. With the arrival of harvest we should be able to relax sncb restrictions. Vntll then we ssk for tlia. necessary pstlence, sacrifice and co-operation of the distributing trades. , -All l WrtL" AS ATUlSTIC I'OHT.

' ., " ; r - 1 ': , You have read that a "stock" Maxwell 5-passenger car ran for 44 days and, , nights without stopping the motor. . . s And that, in the .44 days non-stop test, the Maxwell covered 22,022 miles', at an average speed of 25 miles per hour. . But have you, up to now, realized the full significance of that performance? Do you know that no other motor car in the world ha ever equalled or even approached that performance? In aSvord, did you take this test seriously when you heard of it? . , Or'did you set it down as a "selling stunt" to give the publicity man something to talk about? 1 ' . ' " ' '.' It's worth your while to read and to study theconditions-under which that test was made. . . ' ' . You know that the American Automobile Association (familiarly known as the "A.A.A.") iS the official arbiter of every automobile test and contest. v But perhapsiyou didn't know that when a maker places his product under A. A. A. ' supervision he must do absolutely as told and abide by the decisions of the Board.' That's why there are so few A. A. A. Official Records! r This 22,000-miIe Maxwell non-stop test was official from start to finish.,1 . . Therein lies its value to you.; . ' , . . It proves absolutely the quality of the car of the very Maxwell you buy.' , ' For verily this was a "stock" Maxwell. Listen: First : the inspectors disassembled the motorto see that no special pistons, valves; ' bearmg-metal or other parts had been used. Every other unit was as critically inspected. Then the car was re-assembled under their own supervision. ' As we had much at stake, and the test was made in winter (November 23 to ' January 5) we asked permission to take certain little precautions against acci dental stoppage. Sounds reasonable, doesn't it? ' , But they refused permission to do any such thing. For example :-They would not permit a rubber cover over the magneto nt wasn't f stock." ' '. They refused to let us tape the ignition wire terminals they are not taped on the Maxwells we sell so of course it wasn't "stock." Neither would they let us use a spiral coiled pipe in place of the usual straight one from tank to carburetor to guard against a breakage from the constant, unremitting vibration it isn't "stock." Nor to use a special high priced foreign make of spark plug the run was made on the same spark plugs with which all Maxwells are equipped. So rigid were the rules, we were unable to carry a spare tire on the rear it wasn't "stock." A telegram to headquarters in New York' finally brought a special permit to carry a spare tire. . , "It isn't stock!" "It isn't stock!" , That was the lacqnic reply of those A.A.A. inspectors to every last suggestion that called for anything but the precise condition of the standard, stock model Maxwell that any customer can buy from any one of 3000 dealers anywhere. . , We are glad now mighty glad that the rules were so strict and so rigidly . enforced. " ' Any other car that ever attempts to equal that record must, do it under official supervision and comply with the same terms. - And it will have to go some. For Maxwell set the standard when it performed this wonderful feat.1 ; Maxwell complied with those rules and made good. ; Every drop of gasoline and oil and water was measured out and poured in by ' the inspectors themselves. They would not even let our man pour it inL Every four hours the car had to report at the official station for checking. And it had to be there on the minute. And every minute there was an inspector beside the driver on the front seat two more men in the rear. One got out only to let another in day and . night for 44 days and nights! .-v- m m.t1 There was one technical stop. tS w .' at- w I It is interesting to know the circumstances. - Dead of night a driving storm a cloudburst suddenly another car appeared, in the road ahead. . . In his effort to avoid a collision the Maxwell driver stalled his motor. , At least the observers thought it stopped and so reported. . . ' , The car did not stop, however, so its momentum again started the motor (if it had indeed stalled) when the clutch was let in. The contesj: board exonerated our driver oh grounds that his action was neces sary to save life. " " "" " T - - That shows you how rigid -were the rules how conscientiously applied by the ' observers. Ypu who have owned and driven motor cars you who know how small a thing " may clog a carburetor or a feed pipe; "short" a spark or stall a motor will , realize what a wonderfully well made car this must be to go through that test " under those conditions 44 days 22,022 miles without stopping. The exact amount of gasoline, of oil, of water used; the tire mileage, tire -troubles, tire changes; the distance and the routes are matters of official record, attested under oath and guaranteed by the A. A. A. (By the way, the average was nearly 10,000 miles per tire.) Any Maxwell owner or anyone interested may see those records. And here's the most wonderful part though no attempt was or could be made foreconomy; the Maxwell averaged 22 miles per gallon of gasoline. . . ' Some other car may, some time, equal some one of those performances. But to equal them all in the same test that car must b a Maxwell. - ( 'General Alvord. former adjutant Kn eral under Tenth. nr. ha arrived home He u cin.Kld to relinquish hint Mt Ifsrcaune of 111 health. , H an id.
