T i 8 very seldom that the Fulton
l girls fail to get off on the right
foot in their games, but Thurs
day, when they opposed Washinglon
Seminary, for a while there was an
army of little glooms hanging about
in the Fulton section., It looked bad,
indeed, for Seminary ran up 4 points,
cn a field goal and two fouls, before
the champions began fighting. The
game ended at 22 to 7, in Fulton's
favor, however, '
Fulton during the early stages nf|
the game, was away off form. The
grards weren't guarding and the fhhi
wards weren't hitting the spot. How
ever, trey finally rounded to, and
found the basket, Miss HKstella Mar
tin was the entire works, aimost, and
but for her remarkable work the
score would have been much smaller,
She appears to be the surest shot in
the league. One round dozen pointsl
was her total for the day, and her
all-around work was a bright feature
of the engagement. Miss Ruth Wii
liams, the Fulton captain, kicked in
with two of the most spewmrular‘
shots seen in the league Lhis m‘u(m“
The Seminary girls went after their
opponents from the first. Miss )1(‘-‘
Intyre and Miss Wayt had them on
the run for a few minutes with their
splendid playing. Miss Wayt was
the chief scorer for Seminary with 3
points, all coming on fouls, and she
also did her best to hold Miss Martin,
but it was apparently impossible for
any of the players to do that. |

Beauty Hides
. . 4
a Multitude of Virtues
-
in the Maxwell
HIS time beauty conceals the virtues—not the “sins.”
For the new “garments” of the March Maxwell are
severely pretty, simple, modern, and the kind that make
you want to possess one.
But underneath this “robe of beauty” you’ll find a sound,
rugged, compact, everlastingly-on-the-job chassis that now
has a record manufacturing run of 300,000—a1l alike.
For in 5 years that number of chasses have come out of
the 8 great Maxwell plants—each built on the same pattern;
each one better than the last.
To date more than 1000 refinements, big and little, have
been made in the Maxwell. The plan is to improve and improve
—but not to change in any radical way the original chassis.
Thus you'll understand why a Maxwell never quits run
ning; never grows wobbly and loose with age; never forces
the garage man to send you a staggering bill for mechanical
treatment. \
Now you get a far better Maxwell than ever before. Which
would be sufficient for the average buyer. But more than
that you're getting a Maxwell that the touch of artistic magic
has made into a car of rare beauty.
It doesn't take an art critic to pass judgment on the
beauty of a March Maxwell. Anyone with fair eyesight gets
