If ambitious rulers would show some common sense differences between nations, as between individ uals, could be adjusted without re sort. to arms. The war that is now af flicting the world is void of any merit or honest grievance, yet poor soldiers and innocent non-combatants are pay ing the price with their lives and the sacrifice of their property. Rulers of nations seem to place small value upon the lives of their subjects. We trust the United Slates will be spared the horrors of a bloody strife such as that now terrifying the greater part of the Old World. The Good Book says, “Better suffer wrong than to do wrong. ” The farmers are kept busy these days chopping cotton and killing grass.

S W I N T THE OLD RELIABLE GROCER i Maxwell Wins Test Over Forty Cars Result of the great Yale University Sheffield Scientific School Test. Of the forty automobiles tested at the famous Sheffield Scientific School laboratory the Maxwell stands first in economy of gasoline. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Sheffield scientific school YALE UNIVERSITY NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT May 1, 1915. The Biever Motor Car Company 1079 Chapel Street New Haven, Conn. Gentlemen; I am enclosing report of test of your Maxwell automobile recently made in our laboratory. I should like to add the following comments: 1. RELIABILITY OF TEST. A preliminary test was made on April 19, using a new car which was rather stiff. The showing was so good that we decided to make a second test. This was made on April 30, using same car. On this test the car showed less stiffness and the performance was better than on the first car. The first test was su pervised by our most careful experts, and the results I believe to be perfectly reliable. 2. MILEAGE. The efficiency of the Maxwell automobile as indicated by the number of miles on a level road, is ex ceptionally high. This mileage record is better than that of any one of forty automobiles tested in our laboratory to date. 3. MOTOR PERFORMANCE. The efficiency of the motor and carburetor as indicated by the pounds of gasoline used per hour per horse-power at rear tires is exceedingly good, and indicates very perfect carburetor action over the whole range of speed and load. This record, like that on mileage per gallon, is the best one that we have had. Verv truly vours, ' E. H. LOCKWOOD, Assistant Professor Mechanical Engineering.
