MAXWELL SHATTERS
THIRDJAO RECORD
MAKES MONTREAL TO QUEBEC
RUN IN 4 BUS. 1 MIN. WITH
OBSERVERS
BEATS TRAIN 56 MINUTES
Skims Over Excellent Highway in
Faster Time Than Any Automible
Ever Performed.
By breaking the Montreal-Quebec
road record a Maxwell car driven by
Ray McNamara, road engineer of the
Maxwell Motor Company Inc., of De
troit, has established within two
weeks three of the most important
road records for the Dominion of
Canada.
Making the run between Montreal
and Quebec in four hours and one min
ute the Maxwell shattered all previ
ous automobile records, and also boat
the fastest express trains by fifty-nine
minutes.
The record breaking records are:
Windsor to Toronto 6 hours cd
fifty minutes.
Toronto to Montreal 11 hours.
Montreal to Quebec Four hours
and one minute.
The Windsor-Toronto run covered
275 miles. Between Toronto and Mon
treal the car went 360 miles and the
distance from Montreal to Quebec is
180 miles.
On the run from Montreal the Max
well pilot carried an official greeting
from the manager of the Windsor Ho
tel to the manager of the Chauteau
Frontenac in Quebec The Frontenac
manager had the message and a pic
ture of the Maxwell photographed and
hung on the wall of the hotel office.
There were no accidents to the mo
tor car and the Maxwell engine per
formed marvelously on all of the runs.
The average speed of the Maxwell
on the last inter-city run, was 45 miles
an hour.
. While establishing these magnificent
records McNamara has been logging
the roads of the Dominion and the in
formation is being published for the
benefit of Canadian motorists.
'The road while winding and dot
ted with dangerous curves has a mag
nificent surface that would be perfect
ly safe for touring in a rain storm"
declared McNamara, who stated that
the Montreal-Quebec highway was by
far the best in the Dominion.
"Numerous shrines, real old French
towns, beautifully kept farms and a
splendid view of the winding St. Lawr
ence river are features of the road,
"It is the most interesting bit of
touring I have enjoyed in', a great
many years." McNamara has toured
nearly every important road in the
United States.
' Observers in the car during the Mon
treal-Quebec run were Neil McNeil of
the Montreal Gazette, Mr. Chandler
of the Montreal Herald, and Mr. Bry
an who is connected with an auto
mobile accessories house. The observ
ers made affidavit to the time in which
the Maxwell covered the run.
Before leaving Canada McNamara
will make inter-city runs from Mon
treal to Ottawa, and from Ottawa to
Windsor.. He will also log these roads.

campaign will seek to raise at least
$3,000,000 for the anti-tuberculosis

it imperative that every possible

In announcing the plans for an in

FATHER KNICKERBOCKER'S
APPETITE UNDIMINISHED
New York, Aug. 25 It is high time
Father Knickerbocker curbed his ap
petite, if he doesn't wish to be put to
shame by the war economics of his
allies in Paris and London. He's a
perverse old glutton, according to
governmental experts. What he eats
in the course of twenty-four . hours
would supply either the French or
.English capital for at least twice
that time, under their present regimes
of frugality. His daily food bill
amounts to nearly 83,000,000 not
counting his candy tobacco and liquor
bills.
Some of the items on this bill are
5,374, 479 pounds of meat, vegetables,
fish, butter,-cheese, coffee and tea;
3,377,023 quarts of milk, ice cream,
tomatoes, peaches and strawberries:
643,730 dozen of fruits and eggs;
nineteen carloads of other fruits, and
4,111,472 loaves of bread.
A cheerful optimist once suggested
that the way to get good milk in New
York was to keep the cattle riirht
here and pasture them in the city
parks. Other heavy thinkers, would,
also, raise the local meat supply in
this way and by intensive cultivation
of vacant land produce likewise much
