FRANCE AHEAD IN
SETTING-UP WORK
(Saturday Evening Post)'
Every so often the captain takes us
down into a field behind the mill and
makes us do French exercises. Believe
me, they are some exercises! 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 back and
legs; but that is the way you'll have
to walk m 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 a hundred yards.
And after that you put your hands on
the ground and leap like a frog the
same distance! "When you have done
that you start off from a mark liekety
split as hard as you can leg it, and
then down you flop like a sack of meal
and keep right on going at a 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 tram the
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, neither!
Only a few more nights remain of
the State Fair Carnival, and to thoss
who contemplate waiting until the last
night it would certainly be advisable
to be exceptionally early, as there is
much to be seen, in fact so much that
one can hardly take tn all of the vari
ous sights and attractions that are
really worth visiting. Especially are
the following shows worthy of the lib
eral patronage they have been receiv

THE SAFEST CAR
III TIE Will
Messrs. F. E. 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 a steam horseless car
riage for their own use. Before this
was completed many offered to buy
it Shortly after its 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 a 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

comobile Company ot America, in the
spring of 189.
In the sprinr of 1901 the present
Stanley Motor Carriage company was
formed, and we have been manu
facturing automobiles continuously
ever since. We have been called a
conservative and independent con
cernwhether this Is so or not we
are hardly in a position to Judge. We
do know, however, that duping all
these years we have quietly stood on
the side-lines, as It were, and have
viewed with a calm and peaceful
mind the frantio endeavors of those
engaged in our line of business as
they collided with eaeh other tn
their efforts to adapt the internal
explosive engine, whioh Is essentially
a 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 mottve
power for over a hundred years. It
Is a 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 gesr-shifts, nor
fly wheels, nor carburetors, nor mag
netos, nor spark plugs, nor timers,
nor distributers, nor self-starters, nor
any of the marvelously . Ingenious
complications which inventors have
added in order to overcome' the dif
ficulties inherent in the internal-explosive
engine and adapt it to a use
for which it is not normally fitted. .
To put this into conventional "gas
car language) there 13 no gear-shift
lever and no clutch-pedal. A ' slight
range of movement, not exceeding
four inches, of the throttle lever sub
imposed on the steering wheel, con
trols the admission of steam to the
cylinders. The volume of steam thus
admitted Is the sole governing factor
in the speed and power of the car.
A light touch, and the oar starts su

ing: Its 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, tn crowded
city rrafflo, 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 i 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
a thing is as impossible to a Stanley
car as to a sailboat. Be 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
a 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 tho
driver and his family from trouble.
Thus it is, perhaps, that ninety
per cent of Stanley car owners

also, that there is an astonishing
