tne council of national defense. The women of America "have been called to the colors," said Mrs. Cowles.

I earnestly plead with the women of the nation to "get behind Hoover," sign the food pledge and direct others. to do likewise . .

Price Of a "Snort" Costs Tippler More Since Senate Vote Richmond retail liquor dealers have started Increasing their supply of whisky since the Senate passed the amendment to President Wilson's

food bill, prohibiting the further manufacture of spirits. All whiskies in warehouses will be confiscated by the government and the owners reimbursed when the bill becomes a law. Retailers will be allowed to dispose of their stock however. Clarence Jessup said that retail liquor dealers of Richmond would not be affected by the law, believing that dealers' supply of whiskey will not be exhausted until the state dry law becomes effective April 2 of next year. It will almost double the price of wjtisky, however, he said, at the expense of the consumer. Under the proposed law, retail dealers would be allowed to dispose of their stock.

LONDON PAPERS REFLECT ANGER AT AERIAL RAID Government Hit by Writers for Permitting Bombardment. .

LONDON. July 9. The morning newspapers subordinate everything to Saturday's air raid. The comments thereupon reflect the popular indignation while some Indulge In spirited coridemnation of the government The country, it is declared, has been humiliated and disgraced In a manner never experienced since the Dutch

fleet burned Chatham more than 250 years ago. The Incident is described by the most angry commentators as disgraceful alike to the war office and the admiralty air service and removal of those responsible for the "miserable display of incompetency" is demanded. Even those comments which are more restrained complain that Great Britain, is falling behind in aircraft construction and say it needs speeding up. General Haig's reference to increased German air activity Is regarded as highly significant. In all the comments, there is the same note of outraged national pride and disgust at the impunity with which the enemy came, raided and' departed. Devastation is Seen It Is remarked also that the aerial attacks raises to a practical level the question of a possible absolute devastation of London by aircraft and the infliction of such losses as would amount to a serious military defeat. If a score -of enemy machines are able to operate with calm Impunity, It is asked what will happen if 200 come, or as the Koelnlsche Zeituns recently urged, a thousand. Those favoring reprisals naturally emphasize their demand while those opposed contend reprisals not only are useless but would lead to a competition in brutality wherein the "expert will beat the amateur." Some editorials refer to the hope with which the advent of the Ameri

can air forces is awaited, anticipating important results therefrom.

The new Maxwell One-ton Truck, here announced, is the first truck to be built in the great volume necessary to make a low price possible. This truck has been in the process of development for two years. During that time we experimented, tested, made changes and finally drove the finished product over 30,000 miles of city and country roads. We know, therefore, that the Maxwell Truck is mature, efficient, exceedingly sturdy and in every other way fit to bear the Maxwell name. Timken-David Brown Worm and Gear is used for final drive. Worm drive has the advantages of smoothness and silence in operation. Moreover,

this drive, through greatly reduced friction, transmits the motor power with maximum economy. . Through out nation-wide dealer organization covering 3,000 cities and towns, we are able to render a service to truck owners that is absolutely without parallel in the motor truck industry. Business concerns, large and small, and of every description, can operate these trucks with better results and at less expense than any other form of equipment. For these reasons and others too numerous to cite within this space, the Maxwell One-Ton Truck will fill a long existing and immense field.
