BT DAVIS J. WALSH f STAFF CORRESPONDENT 1. N. SERVICE J NEW TORK, April 11 Just by way of settling a. long standing debate, Charley Taddock and Loren Murchlson, the most hurried individuals now striding a cinder path, are to meet in a series of races rang ing in distance from fifty yards to the furlong. This wc have been given to understand by men who keep an index finger on the pulc of amateur athletics. The proposition is being pushed by members of Uie Illinois A. C. Murchison'a home club and the. challenge, it is said, has found Paddock in a receptive attitude. A neutral track would be the scene of this spiked shoe BOolty, a backwash of a rivalry that dates back to the final heat of the 100 meter dash at the Olympic games. Murchison never will forget that incident if he lives to be as old a an alligator's grandfather. Six men were on the marks for the race, name ly Paddock, Murchlson. SchoU and Kirkscy, Americans; Edwards, the British negro, and Ali Kahn, ot France. They had been given the word to get down. Then the "set," when a clerk of the course called to Paddock that his hands were encroaching on forbidden ground.

This Jewett is the first amply powered small Si. Its 50 horse-power motor, designed and built in the Paige shops, gives it 20 more power than any car of its size or price. Think how this car will pick up. and climb hills. You can put five passengers in it and, from a standing start in high gear at the bottom of Hubbard Hill, put your foot on the throttle and be traveling faster than the law allows before you reach the top. You can be traveling along at 5 miles an hour, put your foot on the throttle, and in 7 seconds be going 25 miles an hour. Try this with your own car. You will realize what a remarkable performer the Jewett is by comparison. You can drive the Jewett at 35 miles an hour and drop into second speed without the

flicker of an eyelash so smooth" an'd easy are gears and clutch. Try this with your own car, at 20 miles an hour, and you will realize the superiority of the Jewett. Does it ride comfortably? Our engineers tell us it has longer springs than any other car of its size. It is hung very low. We do not have to tell you that such a car will ride with luxurious comfort. . , How will it stand up ? In answer, we want to emphasize that this is a sturdily built Six, not a light Six. It has an exceptionally stout pressed steel frame 6 inches deep, with special stiff cross members. It has Timken axles, front and rear. Its motor lias been tested and proved as no motof in a new car was ever Pr nT t -1 - 1 W V a. u va -w-. i The Jewett Six has met instant appreciation everywhere. In a few days we shall probably sell our entire allotment for April and May. If you want the best car $1065 ever, bought, see the Jewett today.. ,
