THE Cripple Creek Stage is the
subject of an interesting letter on an
automobile stage in the Rocky Noun
tains, written by Leo M. Wright, man
ager of the stage line, a copy of which
has been received here by the Hooks
ten to the Colorado Springs agent for
the Willys-Knight car, and is repro
duced here because of the general in
terest in unusual tests on motor cars:
The route of our stage line from
Colorado Springs to Cripple Greek
subjects motor car to test of such
severity that you will undoubtedly be
interested in some remarkable data
which we have compiled from our rec
ords after our experience with seven
Willys-Knight cars. This data will
give you some ideo of my personal
enthusiasm for the remarkable work
these motors are continually doing.
In January 1917, after having
thoroughly tested about twelve other
makes of cars with very unsatisfac-
tory results, 1 purchased my first
Williys-Knight upon you solicitation,
and / must admit that l was rather
skeptical regarding the ultimate out
come.
While the knight motor was not at
that time as widely known as it is
now, it was not unknown in this terri
tory, but questioned whether any mo-
tor could stand up under the constant
strain entailed in this work.
Now, after two years of constant
service, we who have operated them
and those who have made the trip with
us are unanimous in appreciation of
the WHY'S Knight and are convinced
that it is the only motor which could
successfully perform in this work
and this opinion is based on the failure
of some twelve other makes of cars
in the same work.
Since January, 1917. we have placed
seven of these cars in service replac-
ing entirely all previous equipment,
and although the ownership of the
Stage Line has changed hands during
that period Willys-Knight equipment
has continued to be used exclusively.
AS you know, we run these cars on
railroad schedule, every day in the
year, making two round trips a day.
We have altered the original seven
passenger body so as to permit ten
passengers together with their bag
gage, as well as newspapers and ex-
press up to three hundred pounds.
The distance between Colorado
Springs and Cripple Creek is about
forty-three miles, with total climb
of 1000 feet. Because of the peculiar
topography of the country, however,
there is a rise of 1000 it. in the first
twenty nine miles, then a fall of 5000
it., and rise of 90 f3t. in the last
fourteen miles.
Four-Mile Hill which is traversed on
this trip has a grade of from II to 10
per cent, and the average grade for
the remainder of the trip is from to
IL per cent, so it can readily be under
stood what is meant by the constant
strain" referred to above.

The Cripple Creek Stage
a Story of Remarkable Test
of Autoing in the Rockies

1t is the opinion of those familiar
with the character of the country
that one mile of this work is equiva-
lent to three of the average running.
When you take into consideration that
we have often carried as much as $500
lbs, in passengers and freight, under
favorable and unfavorable conditions
many times bucking snow drifts which
entirely covered the hood-you can
better understand our attitude toward
the Willys-Knight.
But the ability of these cars to
stand the gaff," while important, is
only one of the angles which we as
operators have to consider. Probably
as important to us is the item of MAIN
tenance and depreciation, for the net
return in any business is the guage
of success.
Here again the Willys-Knight has
proved supreme. Stage No. Our
first Willys-Knight-ran $4,000 miles
at mechanical expense of $149,80.
Figure the miles at three to one and
you will get a better idea of what
this means. The tires cords aver
aged 1000 to 10000 miles.
Gasoline averages show about IA
miles to the gallon and oil about 400
miles to the gallon exceptionally low
cost in consideration of the character
of the work and as compared with our
previous experience with other makes
of cars.
Our seventh Willys-Knight, pur-
chased last June, has run 10000 miles
and has not cost one cent for the mo-
tor. That is equivalent to 10000 miles
of average running. Do you wonder
that we are knight enthusiastic?
We have never had any spring repair
on any of the Willys-Knight cars and
find that after two years of the hard

MRS. WILSON
TRIUMPHS IN
GREAT TEST
By jay Jerome Williams.


Correspondent Just Returned From
Paris.)
WASHINGTON, April 15.-She came,
she saw, she conquered!
Caesars famous words, improved
SO as to provide the touch of femi-
ninity, applies to Mrs. Woodrow Will
son, the first lady of the land
Lady" is a term that usually is
barred in newspaper parlance, save
when it denotes the title, yet it is
the only fitting term to describe the
impression made on Europe by the
wife of the President.
Everywhere Mrs. Wilson visited
Paris, London, Rome and scores of
other towns and cities - the verdict
was the same: A true lady.
Mrs. Wilson has run the gauntlet of
millions of eyes-the eyes of nobility,
the eyes of aristocracy, the eyes of
the bourgeoise and those of the lowTy
proletariat-and all these eyes have
indicated upon her passing beyond
their range of vision, that she also
has passed the test.
And the test of Europe as no doubt
many an aspiring society matron
could testify, is some test. 1t was
doubly so in the case of Mrs. Wilson,
for never before had an American
woman holding the social position
that is the property of the wife of an
American President graced Europe
with her presence.
Europe was literally on the "qui
vive" to see Mrs. Wilson, and perhaps
European society, which is similar to
American society in possession an
anvil chorus" of no small dimen-
sions, was likewise on the "qui vive"
to seize upon all apparent flaws in
the mistress of the White House."
But that portion of society which
puts forth a cold and clammy hand
and utters honeyed words only to
change the tune to vitrol when the
unsuspecting victims back is turned
never got a chance
Mrs. Wilson was just what she was
an American woman, always gra-
cious, always interested, and always
as modestly and pleasantly gowned
as millions of other American women
back here.
There was not a single touch of
"uppishness" in her demeanor, but
there was that delightful touch of
home folks" about her which every
American likes to associate with his
conception of an American woman.
Mrs. Wilson's entire encourage con-
sisted of one secretary and colored
nanny" And the nanny" it may
be recalled, was not one bit ''f1us-
terated'' by taking to downy couch
: in Buckingham Palace when the
President and his wife were the
honored guests of the King and
Queen of England.

VI COrnarO, affirmed that the secret of
long life was very simple.
BE moderate in all things" he proclaim
ed. "In particular, eat lightly and keep
rein on your passions"
Living according to this rule, Luigi himself
remained hale and hearty until we'll past a
hundred. Now comes an American centena-
rian, Mrs. Lydia Childs, of Worcester, Mass.
to preach the same doctrine.
If you want to live long" says Mrs Childs,
en- route to her hundred and second birthday,
don't worry and don't overeat"
And in between cOrnaro and Mrs Childs
a host of other venerable men and women
nave testified from personal experience to the
ute-prolong1ng power of emotional control of
the appetite. With singular unanimity thew
have declared:
we have been favored with length of DAYS
CHIEFLY because we have avoided excuses of
any kind, have lived simply, have let moth
Ing torment our minds"
But these are precisely the points in which
most people fall short.
In our twentieth century especially there
is a widespread tendency to excesses-ex-
cesses in working and playing, excuses in
eating and drinking, excuses in the way of
emotional storms.
People worry at the slightest provocation
or without prOvOcation whatever. Not only
do they worry over business, social and do
nestle problems and difficulties, but they are
plunged into despair by occurrences which
should emotionally jar them little or not at
all.
They worry if the postman is late or the
toast cold They worry if their rooms are a
trifle chilly or trifle too warm. They worry
if it rains, and they worry if the sun shines
too brightly.
All day they find something to worry about.
All day they go rushing around-except when
they pause to eat. And multitudes among
them eat OvermuCh food in undershort time
Which explains not merely why centena-
rians are nowadays rare, but also why people
are finding it ever more difficult to reach even
| the half century mark.
Government statistics show that for some
time there has been a gradual increase in
the death rate between the ages of forty and
fifty from degenerative diseases of the heart,
blood vessels and kidneys. Also statistics in
dictate that, between these ages, there has
been an increase in mental diseases and nerv-
Gus breakdowns.
The prevalence of worry and overeating
would by itself suffice to account for all this.
For worry and overeating mean the genera
ton within the body of poisons hurtful alike
to the brain, the nervous system, the heart
and arteries, and the digestive organs.
Hence, if only as a means Of avoiding in
voluntary suicide, all will do we'll to heed
the advice of Luigi Corano, Lydia Childs, and
their fellows in the admirable ranks of the
centenarians.
The outcome may not be to enAble every
body to live to be a hundred or more. But
it certainly will be to prolong health and

He was a collector for an installment sys-
tenn establishment, new at the business, and
very sensitive about performing his unpleas-
ant task. He was particularly embarrassed
because the lady upon within he had called
was so exceedingly polite and beautiful. Still
the van was at the door, the lady was IN ar
rears in her payments, and he remembered
his duty.
Good morning!" said the lady. "It is
beautiful day, is it not?"
beautiful, indeed" he agreed.
'Won't you take chair?" she said
"Er-no, thank you, not this morning."

1t is a mistake to hold, as many do, that
the territory over which the flag of Great
Britain flies is the only one upon which the
sun never sets.
AS Americans we may rejoice over the fact
for fact it is, that 'Old Glory" flies over an
empire upon which the sun is always shining
Without Investigation, it might appear to
be unbelievable that San Francisco, instead of
being the westernmOst point of Uncle Sans
dominion, is in reality just about midway be-
tween our eastern and western boundaries. 1t
is a fact that the farthest AIeutian isle be-
longing to our purchase from Russia is as far
to the west of the city by the Golden Gate as
Eastport, Me-, is to the east Of it.
Between the northwestern limit of the
State of Washington and the southern limit
of Alaska there is break of few degrees,
but with this slight deduction, our territory
extends through 1876 degrees of longitude, or
Is degrees more than halfway round the
globe.
From this it may be seen that when the
sun is giving his goodnight kiss to our west
ernmost isle on the confines of the Behring
sea, it is already flooding the fields and for
ests of Maine with its morning light, and III
the extreme eastern part Of that state is more
than an hour high.
At the very moment when the AIeutian fish
erman, warned by the approaching shades Of
night, is pulling his canoe toward the shore
the woodchopper Of Maine is beginning to
wake the forest echoes with the stirring mu-
sic of his ak.
And so, along with England, we can truly
say "The sun never sets on our dominions."
And more than that, we can say (what
England cannot say that the greater part of
our mighty empire is, geographically speak
ing, compact, one continuous body of the
most happily situated land on the planet.
By 1.-The most happily situated mean the
finest climate, the most varied and abundant
natural resources and therefore the most won
derful possibilities for future development
along all the lines fstrue national greatness.
And this is the country that the vicious
Old World propaganda, walking, like the pes
thence, in the darkness, is trying to destroy.

to make themselves obnoxious 1t is nothing
new for them to make themselves ridiculous
But never before, venture, has any fac
ton under the Capitol dome proved at once
so obnoxious and so ridiculous as this polit-
cal clique ranged against the President OF
the United States and against the principles
to which his life is dedicated. They have
neither the sense of humor to see the figure
they are cutting, nor the sense Of statesman
ship to grasp the policies they are seeking
to Illustrate. And what sense of chivalry
have they shown either toward the Presi-
dent or toward that devoted wife who, as
David Lawrence writes from Washington,
stands between Mr. Wilson and the outside
world serving at once, as his nurse and pri-
vate secretary? ''They have told her he will
recover--his life will be saved--if he has
rest and care; and as between a chance to
save life and answer the numerous state
ments and attacks that have been made upon
the President, Mrs. Wilson has chosen the
course of stoical silence" 1t is to be hoped
that Senator Lodge and his like are salts
fed, now that they have broken into the sick
room and found, not what they pretended to
expect, but Woodrow Wilson, the thinker,
the leader, the gentleman--the President
still.
