ing it's moorings." This minimum
 speed may be maintained all day if
 desired, with no shaking or rattling,
 no overheating or stalling, and above
 all without the slightest mental
 anxiety or attention. Or it may be
 increased to maximum, by nothing
 more than another light touch of
 the throttle.
 This is what makes the Stanley the
 safest car in the world. In crowded
 city traffic, in treacherous defiles, or
 in unknown country travel. the driver needs every bit of his mentality to master the road conditions. With the Stanley car he can concentrate solely
 in this. for he knows that the car
 will do precisely what he wants. pre-
 cisely when he wants it. A slight
 movement of the throttle and he can
 jump the traffic, or he can pick his way slowly or fast on the dan gerous hill. No checking or choking can possibly stall the motor" Such
 thing is as impossible to a Stanley car as to a sailboat. He cannot do it accidentally. and he cannot even do it if he tries. There is never an opportunity to regret that he did not change speeds a second earlier or 8 second later; there is never the slightest danger of being caught in a
 sudden predicament when only the utmost alertness of mind and deX- terity of hand can extricate the driver and his family from trouble. Thus it is, perhaps, that ninety per cent of Stanley car owners

FRANCE AHEAD IN
 SETTING-UP WORK
fSaturday Evening Posty

Every so often the captain takes us down into field behind the mill and makes us do French exercises. Believe me, they are some exercisesl The old army setting-up exercises are a joke beside them, and these take about about three weeks for a guy to work up to because you can't stand them straight through until you get har- dened.
 First you do the Indian walk, all bent over with your hands near touch ing the ground. It tires your hack and legs; but that is the way you'll have to walk in the trenches, so why not train the muscles now?
 Then you get down on your hands and run like a bear. straight ahead and sideways for about hundred yards. And after that you put your hands on the ground and leap like 8 frog the same distancei When you have done that you start off from a mark lickety- split as hard as you can leg it, and then down you flop like a sack of meal and keep right on going at crawl, flat on your stomach using your el- bows to do same. That is to practice advance with rifle to attack. You have to crawl over the ground on your stomach. pulling yourself with your hands, too, J. c.
 These exercises are to train fhe muscles you will need when you go up to fight the boche, because that is the only safe way to move round there. And it ain't so safe at that, neitherl

 also, that there is an astonishing
 number of old men amongst our cus-
 toners. This last feature has by
 some mysterious process been
 twisted into a detraction by our competitors, and they apply to the
 Stanley the phrase an ola manaa
 car' as g. term of contempAs while we confess that we have always
 boasted of 1t. Surely that simpie
 control and safety which ara called flexibility appeal even mora stronx$S ly to young men: for they arc ths first to demand from manufActurera four cylinders and six cylinders and doubIe-fours and twin-stxes and four speeds forward and selectfve trans missions and electric gear shift and self starters and electric fine drive and two-speed rear axles and such
 devices to reduce, even if they cans not eliminate the difficulty ct operating an automobile.
 The entire control of the Stanley is between two fingers of ons handi
 and this, without the addition or inn terposition of any cfuth, or gear shifas | or mechanical device or complication produces an infinite number of speeds from the lowest up to the very highA est. In fact, the Stanley car with its steam engine is the only autonno . bile which is naturally adapted t0 variable speeds and variable loads Advertisement.

Imported or domestic, the new clothes are lovely. Exaggeration has not yet begun to do it's worst, and modes are, on the whole, of consider able distinction as well as of charm.
 Paris has perhaps put less emphasis on brown, more on the blues and srays and greens, than has New York. yet brown is an insistent note among the importations. and the woman who bought brown suit 8 month ago need not regret her choice for any reason save that the shops are perhaps a bit flooded with brown.
 The blues of gray and green tones, the darke blues, taupe and all the soft grays. greens in bluish and grayish shadings, as well as in the harder, stronger ivy and billiard cloth; beet root and other deep reds, mahogany and copper, some good purples, the long line of browns from beige and castor to seal and. above all, black these are the colors Paris loves and New York accepts, only New York, as we have said before, is inclined to put browns at the head of the list

Some three hundred people are now in the employ of the Wortham Brothers, and if the majority of these remain here until the opening next season it will necessitate the expendi- ture of large sums of money, both by the management of the show and the show folk in general. The large num- Der that will winter here are certainly loud in their praise of Phoenix and vicinity.

 In the spring of 1901 the present
 Stanley Motor Carriage company was
 formed, and we have been manu- featuring automobiles continuously
 ever since. We have been called a
 conservative and independent con-
 cern-whether this is 80 or not we
 are hardly in a position to judge We
 do know, however, that duNng all
 these years we have quietly stood on
 the side-lines, as it were, and have
 viewed with & calm and peaceful
 mind the frantic endeavors of those
 engaged in our line of business as
 they collided with each other in
 their efforts to adapt the internal
 explosive engine, which is essentially
 constant speed motor, to automobile
 service, which is about the most in- appropriate use to which it could possibly be put.
 Steam has been the prime motive
 power for over 8 hundred years. It is simple problem to adapt and ar- range it for automobile use. We be-
 lieve that we have demonstrated our ability to do this pretty thoroughly during the last twenty years. Our present car is composed of but thirty two moving parts, which number in cludes front and rear wheels, steering
 gear, and everything moving on the
 car, as well as the power plant. This is about the number of parts con- tained in a first-class self-starter. We use no clutches, nor gear-shifts, nor fly wheels, nor carburetors, nor mag l netos, nor spark plugs, nor timers,
 nor distributors, nor self-starters, nor any of the marvelously ingenious complications which inventors have added in order to overcome the diff faculties inherent in the internal-ex- plosive engine and adapt 1t to a use for which it is not normally fitted. To put this into conventional ''gas car" language! there is no gear-shif, lever and no clutch-pedaL A slight

 Parisian black is fact beyond dis pute. Often it is frightened by other color, though this color is quite likely to be nothing more lively than gray or beige or some soft blue; but black velvet, black satin, black cloth relieved but lightly, if at all, figured prom inently in every group of imported models.

THE SAFEST GAR
 IN THE WORLD

Messrs. F. F. and F. o. Stanley, twin brothers, who were the invent
 ors and manufacturers of the Stan
 ley Dry Plate, began in the fall of 1896 to make steam horseless car-
 riage for their own use. Before this was completed many offered to buy it. Shortly after it's completion they sold it and proceeded to build two more. These two cars were sold be- fore completion in the spring of 1897. During that year and 1898 they built and sold probably dozen or twenty horseless carriages. In the fall of 1898 they made plans to build 200 cars all alike. These 200 cars were actually built and sold by July, 1899, thus establishing the Messrs. Stanley as the first men in the world to manufacture automobiles in com mercial quantities. Meantime the n~A n,
