It has come to the attention of some of the leaders of both parties that the liquor people will ask ea-:h convention to place in its platform a declaration in favor exempting lipht wines and a 2-per cent beer from the operation of the state wide, prohibition law.

tremoly dangerous to attr.ipt to bring !t back, or to lend any assistance in that direction. Of routse it wo-;'d be folly for t!iliqo.T peopl to ask the repeal of th" prohibition law. It could not possibly be brought about with the people of the state in their present frame of mind on the subject. They aro too well satisfied with tho present conditions. Therefore, the only course left open for the liquor people, to sek relief is by attempting to have light wines and 2-per cent ioers re-adrr.itted

IF Little Ruth Clifford ever has a eoat-of-arms made for herself, in the quarter devoted to opportunity will appear a peck-hole in. a fence. Had it not been for a crack ia the fence around the Edison Studios in New York City, thousands and thousands of people would have been denied the pleasure of worshipping at the shrine Ruth Clifford, one of the most beautiful and promising of all of the stars of the motion picture screen, whose latest role is that cf Uhoda Tuttle in "The Red, Red Heart," an adaptation cf Ilonore Willsie's well-known novel, ''The Heart of the Desert." Miss Willsie 13 editor o "The Delineator." This Bluebird Photoplay was made in the California desert near Hesperia. One day, while it was being fiimcd, Miss Clifford told an interviewer that it was just two years ago to a day that she was looking through a kr.ot-hole in a fence at a moving picture company rehearsing, and, wishing with -all the power of her soul that she might become a moving picture actress. That wish was fulfilled cooncr than she had any idoa it would he, and it wa-i all duo of course 10 the knot-hole in tho fence. Tor she. looked h-rd and rersistentlv on the way to and from school, that the kindhearted gateman at last asked her if she didn't want to go inside and look. "After that," she said, "I stood around on the inside and watched. And I was so afraid they would put me cut that when a director looked at me one day and asked if I wanted to be in a picture, I was so excited that 1 said no. I didn't mean that, of course, but ; orttinirtely h'- asked me a second time, and then I said yes. This time I had to be an arigel i"n a picture, and to be let down from heaven on a wire. I was supposed to speak a little line as I came down into range of the camera. Just fancy: It was for a close-up, too. I remem

ber the line now perfectly, but I couldn't say it then to save my life. This was it: 'I am come from heaven

to bring you tidings of great joy.' ut

very nearly terminated my career before it began." For five months Ruth Clifford played extra parts at the Edison, going to high school at the same time. Then she came to Universal City, and played for a time with Carter DeHaven in comedies, just wearing clothes and walking on and off. Douglas Gerrard saw greater possibilities in the eirl and directed the first Butterfly Picture with Ruth Clifford a:3 his leading woman. Since then ehe has been in the capable hands of Rupert Julian. :o: Bluebird has purchased a magazine story called "His Arcadian Wife," for the ve of Franklyn Farnum and

tTiscilla Dean. It is being directed

by Doinrlas Garrard, who has return-

tered over that so that the director ed to Bluebird allegiance.

George J. Miller. Phone 132S-K. A. & Mo Garage 253 Hohman St. Maxwell Agency. Hammond, Ind.

You know, of course, that the Maxwell Motor Car is the long distance champion of the world. You have reaci that a "stock" Maxwell 5-passenger car ran for 44 days and nights without stopping the motor. And that, in the 44 days non-stop test, the Maxwell covered 22,022 miles, at an average speed of 25 miles per hour. Eut have ycu, up to now, realized the full significance of that performance? Do you know that no other motor car in the world has ever equalled or even approached that performance? In a word, 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? It's worth your while to read and to study the conditions 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. But perhaps ycu didn't knew that when a maker placet hio product under A. A. A. supervision he must do absolutely as told and abide by the decisions of the Beard. That's why there are so few A.A.-A. Official Records! This 22,000-mile Maxwell non-stop test was official from start to finish. 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 motor to see that no special pistons, valves, bearing-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 accidental 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 it wasn't "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 laconic reply cf 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 enforce a. 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. 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 in! 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! There was one technical stop. It is interesting to know the circumstances. Dead of night a driving storm a cloudburst suddenly another car appear in the read 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 contest board exonerated our driver on grounds that his action wa necessary to save life. That shows you how rigid were the rules how conscientiously applvd by the observers. You who have owned and driven motor cars you who know how siiall a thing may clog a carburetor or a feed pipe; "short" a spark or stall aiotor 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, cf water used; the tirf mileage, tire troubles, tire changes; the distance and the routes are matters o' official record, attested under cath 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 for economy; the Maxwell averaged 22 miles per gallon of gasoline. Some other car may, some time, equal some one of those performances. -sUt to equal them all in the same test that car must be a Maxwell.
