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 Wil
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 lowly
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. It 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 victim’s 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 entourage con
sisted of one secretary and a colored
“mammy.” And the “mammy,” it may
be recalled, was not one bit “flus
terated” by taking to a downy couch
'in Buckingham Palace when the
President and his wife were the
honored guests of the King and
Queen of England.

‘The Cripple Creek Stage,’
a Story of Remarkable Test
of Autoing in the Rockies
"•The Cripple Creek Stage” is the
i subject of an interesting letter on an
automobile stage in the Rocky Moun
tains, written by Leo M. Wright, man
ager of the stage line, a copy of which
has been received here by the Hooks
Motor company. The letter was writ
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:
i The route of our stage line from
Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek
subjects a motor, car to a test of such
■ severity that you will undoubedly 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
enthusiam for the remarkable work
these motors are continually doing.
I In January 1917, after having
thoroughly tested about twelve other
makes of cars with very unsatisfac
tory results, I purchased my first
Williys-Knight .upon you solicitation,
and I must admit that I 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 I questioned whether any mo
tor could stand up under the constant
strain entailed in this work.
Now, after two yeaars of constant
service, we who have operated them
and those who have made the trip with
us are unanimous in appreciation of ;
the Willys-Knight and are convinced j
that it is the only motor which could I
successfully perform in this work—
and this opinion is based on the failure
of some twelve other makes of cars I
in the same work. j
Since January, 1917. we have placed'
seven of these cars in service replac
ing entirely all previous equipment, I
and although the ownership of the i
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 a total climb
of 4000 feet. Because of the peculiar
topography of the country, however,
there is a rise of 4000 ft. in the first
twenty nine miles, then a fall of 3000
ft., and a rise of 00 f3t. in the last
fourteen miles.
Four-Mile Hill which is traversed on
this trip has a grade of from 11 to 19
per cent., and the average grade for
the remainder of the trip is from 7 to
12 per cent., so it can readily be under
stood what is meant by the “constant
strain*’ referred to above.
It 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 8500
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. I—our
first Willys-Knight—ran 97,000 miles
at a 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 7,000 to 10,000 miles.
Gasoline averages show about 14
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 30,000 miles
and has not cost one cent for the mo
tor. That is equivalent to 90,000 miles
of average running. Do you wonder
that we are Knight enthusiasts ?
We have never had any spring repair
on any of the Willys-Knight cars and
find that after two years of the hard-

est kind of use that bodies, tops and
upholsteripg have kept pace with the
wonderful performance of the motors.
An interesting side trip was made
last year to the top of Pike’s Peak,
which we should like to mention here.
We carried nine people on this trip
from Colorado Springs at 6,000 feet
elevation to the top of the peak at 14,-
100 feet in elevation —a rfse of 8,100
feet in 31 1-10 miles—in one hour and
fifty-five minutes, and din not have to
add to the original supply of water.
I could give you many more inter
esting facts along this line,but I be
lieve this gives you a good idea of
what I think of the Willys-Kknight.
My idea is to express in the highest
possible degree my appreciation of
what, in consideration of every ele
mental factor, I believe to be the
greatest automobile value on the mar
ket.
Very truly yours,
LEO M. WRIGHT.
