a car of rare charm
and able
YOUR first impression of this present day Maxwell as it
passes you on the street is one of decided beauty.
Your first ride in it, whether at the wheel or in the
tonneau, tells you of its rare charm. .
But after six months you find a new admiration for the
Maxwell. You find it shuns the repair shop, that it runs and
runs and runs and never stops running.
Then after a year is past you develop an enthusiasm for It
that dictionary words don't seem to fully describe.
And then after you have had it for more than the average
life of a motor car and you find it far better than even the
Maxwell salesman said it was you search for the reason.
This is what you find: "
For 5 years Maxwell cars have been built on the single
chassis plan. To date 300,000 have been turned out on this
plan. Each car better than the other. Each one better look-
ing than the other.
There have been more than 1000 refinements in the
Maxwell, but never once have the Maxwell executives swerved
from the original program.
You conclude that reliability was designed "into" the car
and built "into" it, and that a policy of 300,000-all-alike is the,
soundest kind of reason for writing your check for a present
day Maxwell.

Plays may come and plays me. go,
but once a year in Salem there comes a
threatrieal event which overtops every
thing else in the sphere of. amusement.
That is the annual Elk's plav, or
"Elk's show," as it is usually called.
It is the king pin of tho local thetitri
cal world the one h'te show which
everybody atfends us a matter of
course.
One of the first things the Salem
lodge did back in the early days, vras to
put on a play. - It was a good show.
It played to capacity business. Ever
sinco that time the Ellis have staged
an annual play. Each year the play
has been better than ever before, and
'each year it plays to ;vs a big an audi
Icnce as the theatre will hold.
All of which is merely by way of
announcement that tho Elk's produc
tion for this year is ready. Eor two

Should Oregon
pay the mother for eacK
child bora?
Should Motherhood be insured by the State ? In England
it is done and it must be recognized here. The progress cf
.society and the wastage of war demand it Is it possible
that such a law will be passed ? Is there a legal as well as
a moral basis for it? What form will the payment take?
This vital problem is discussed
with startling illumination by
W. L. George in March Good
Housekeeping. It crystallizes one
of the most important issues in
human life. t .
This is but one of the features
appearing in March. Read as
well " The passing of the Kings"
by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
She tells brilliantly ond intimate
ly of the fluttering cf flags and
the gaiety of trumpets which
have marked th Coronation of
kings, and the jun!-heap of brit
tle crowns and sceptres which
has followed them. The author
of "Little Lord Fauntleroy" gives
a vivid picture of the royal per
sons she has seen.
In the same number is James
Oliver Curwood's tale of the
North-West, " The River's End,"
and Ida A, R. Wylie's very
charming story " Tinker Tail

tributors are Kathleen Norris,
Ruth Sawyer, Dr. Harvey W.

The Many Mysteries of

(By L. W. BOWEF, M. D.)
You can take an onion seed and a
pansy Beed, land plant, them side by
Side in thp same spot of ground. In one
ease, you get an onion, with its pecul
iarly strong odor, and in the other you
get a flower of rare beauty. You can
plant a poppy seed and get opium (a
ilanBcrous. h:.'bit forming drug), or
you can plant a rhubarb seed and get
something that helps constipation. No
scientist, "living or dead, can explain
these mysteries of Nature. Behind the
invisible lifo germ in each seed is
hidden the deep secret that nobody un

the members of the conference, realiz

menace and that thoir states and cities
were vitally concerned.
Baker declared that none of the
speakers has had the "old nerve" to
say what they felt. He charged that
