Made $50 Miles i'm 81 Hours
70 Minutes Driving Time

The Essex was put on the speed
way to prove its reliability in fifty
hour test.
At the end of 81 hours So minutes
and in the 1,790th mile, rain and sleet
forced a STOP A second start was
made three days later but snow
again ended the trial. This time the
run lasted Is hours 25 minutes and
covered 1,042 miles. The third run
starting the following day was sue
cessful, the ffty-hour period being
completed.
Thus the proof of Essex endurance
is even greater than that expressed
in the 50-hour run Think what that
means. The average car is driven
little more than 5000 miles in the en-
tire season. But this stock Essex
chassis went more than a mile a min

Light weight in an automobile has
meant principally moderate price
and perhaps gasoline and tire econo-
my. There was enough speed and
power to get about but none that
gave distinction on the road. Fine
ness and performance were not ex-
pected.
But the Essex brought fine car quail
ity to the light car field. It's appear
ance gave it immediate distinction.
It's performance placed it in the large
costly car class. Only in size, cost
and economy of gasoline, oil and tires
was it compared to cars in the mod
crate price field.
Is it any wonder that motorists
have praised the Essex as they have?

WASHINGTON WANTS
 TO AVOID FAUX PAS

Washington, August 2S-(SpecialD Washington is very anxious that Eng land send an ambassador before the ar rival of the Prince of Wales in October. For Washington admits that it doesn know how it shall be expected to pro- ceed.
 The prince will be entertained at the White House not as the guest of the nation, but as the guest of the Presi- dent Only two people may entertain the prince as guest-the President and the English ambassador.
 Of course, parties may be given In that event. the hostess will notify the prince of the guests invited. The prince will wise the list and strike therefrom or add thereto as his fancy directs. And the hostess will be governed accordingly. although it may mean subsequent apolo- gies to lifelong friends necessarily sighted
 Washington is informed that the prince will ask for what he wants. and that 1t will be impertinent for anyone to ask the prince if he will have this or that If one smokes in the presence of Wales he cannot offer Wales a cigarette.
 But in the main Washington is greatly ignorant. And there is still another ele- ment of embarrassment The White House is large enough to home family no larger than the Presidents, and the Presidents family consists of two mem bers, but inadequate for more numerous people.
 But in a spare room or two the prince and suite may get along capitally, for Washington hears indirectly that Wales is a very agreeable young fellow. very democratic and as his grandfather and ia ather were, is amused, rather than IT. ritated, at mistakes in conventional so- cial form relating to royalty.

FIGHT NOW HINGES ON
 FORM OF RESERVATIONS

Washington, August 23-tSpecial)-Th President stated that he was willing that the republicans adopt reservations to the treaty, though not attached to the treaty. because he knew it to be i'm possible to secure ratiflca ton of the doc ument in no way touched or despoiled
 Although this concession was in effect republican victory, the republicans are rot satisfied. They want to reserve and express such reservation in the resolu- ton of ratification.
 The fight now is not upon the league of nations, but whether reservations should be adopted independent of or dependent on the treaty of peace itself And the old alignment holds good.
 There is no question but that if the re- publicans ratify with attached reser- vations the treaty must again go to Yer sailles. This would delay the promulga tion of official peace indefinitely, cause great delight to Germany and give Ger many an opportunity to evade certain restrictions now existing, and to tsshand nore lenlent terms.
 At the same time there is fear lest the adoption of reservations, either prior to or subsequent to the ratification resolu- tion, will lead to trouble. President Will son, in stating that he had no objection tso such independent reservations, de- clared that such are contained now in
 
 France, England and Italy, that as re- suit other nations would readily assent to the American procedure and such pro- cedure would amount to nothing.
 At the same time, it is patent, accord ing to certain democratic and all repub- lican senators, that if the United States by resolution interprets the league of nations to suit itself, all other sigma tories will have identical right and op- portunity. In the event all other na- tions avail themselves of such oppor- tunity, the chances are regarded as cer tain that the reservations of all nations will not be identical. and as result will conflict. There would then exist a league of many diverse principles.
 The President of course realized this probability and his concession to repub- licans is judged all the more generous. But the republicans are not satisfied They want the reservations included in the ratification resolution in the treaty itself.
 Their object is patent; they want to kill the league in the guse of preserving Americanism. By indrection they would accomplish their object and yet escape the odum which would be attached to those guilty of having deliberately 'brok- en the heart of the world.''
 The league is still in grave danger of

INTERESTING DATA ABOUT
 THE ISLAND OF TAP

Washington, August 3.-(Special )-In payment for the destruction of the Lusi- tania, President Wilson says the United States may acquire possession of Tap, westermost of the Western Caroline Islands, as a wireless or cable station.
 During his conference with the sena- tors Tuesday, President Wilson stated that until recently he had never heard of Tap Senator Williams of Mississippi a great scholar, declared himself to have been equally ignorant
 The National Geographic society. as result of the persistent inquiry of one of it's sharks furnishes the information that the probable possession of the United State means, when translated, land"
 It is inhabitated by meh so progress sive that they practice prohibition, and so civilized that they do not trouble them selves with clothes or with money. The men wear string of beads about their neck and charms suspended from the upper and neither lobes of each ear. The women wear garment of leaves repre- senting Q skirt. This garment wears out in one month, but in style it never changes.
 Food, clothing and money grow on trees. The money for foreign exchange is in the shape of cocoanuts. The money for domestic traffic is limestone made into discs sometimes of four feet in di- ameter and weighing many hundred pounds.
 Tn addition to practicing prohibition and wearing no clothes, the customs of the island are additionally alluring. The men maintain bachelor clubs, and over each presides a woman secured by craft or force from neighboring tribes. The wives permit the men to attend the clubs evenings and display no Jealousy.
 The club women live under polyan- drous system, and the men do not fall out among themselves. It is thus dem .onstrated that prohibition when long practiced destroys all the natural emo tions to which normal man is invariably heir.
 Prior to the information of the geo graphical society, republicans were very anxious that the President seize Yap. Now, however, they are obviously indif- ferent

TELL NEW JOKE AT
 HEFLIN'S EXPENSE

Washington, August 23.-(Special) When daylight saving was first before the House, Representative Blackmon en- tered the chamber just as his name was called on the second call
 He promptly responded No"
 An interesting colloquy between MT. Blackmon and Representative Heflin then followed-if the story told is true.
 MT. Heflin urged MT. Blackmon to change his vote on the ground that the daylight saving idea was an administra- tion idea, a democratic and patriotic Idea. MT. Blackmon was obdurate.
 In explanation he said: '"The people of my district will say, We sent Freddie down to Montgomery and he was a pretty good fellow. We liked him. But now, up in Washington, he is proceeding along a path which would indicate that he has concluded he is wiser than God AL mighty and so we will vote for him no more."
 Whereupon. if this narrative is true, Representative Heflin quietly ambled down to the front and changed his own vote. At any rate, his colleagues, in only good humor. tell the story at his expense.
