July 12. Tho other side
of Francisco Vllfa's character not the bad
side and the blood and violence with which
hl name Is associated Is being told to
Philadelphia soldiers by the Mexican hero
worshipers, who believe In Pancho. Villa
Implicitly. To many of them he Is n gdd.
And tho story Is told, too, by tho Ameri
cans In this International city of two bloods.
"Hero Vlllla Is regarded as Mexico's "strong
man with tho gentlo heart." Gentle heart?
Yes, Villa has a gentle heart, at times. Even
subtracting a fat portion of the stories of
his kindness, there yet remain some that re
main Unshaken by the searching light of In
quiry and skepticism. Not every American
who was toW a story of Villa's kind nets
was given tho Information by a liar or a
dreamer, and many of them personally wit
nessed his charity over In Cludart Juarez,
across tho river, and hero In Kl Paso, two
cities whero memory of him Is Jealously
preserved. '
Tho peons dwelling In the lowlylng adobe
huts that fringe tho two cities sing songs of
their national hero and rlcount tho legends
of his supernatural powers a folk litera
ture that has been built about his figure like
that which Bprang up around the person of
Robin Hood. Some day a book will be
written on tho subject of Villa nnd his hum

Here Is a song, repented by an American
who had heard It sung In Chihuahua:
"Pancho, my Pancho,
A( tho campflre.
Protect mo from my enemies,
Destroy them ono and nil.
Pancho, my Pancho,
On tho mesa,
llout my enemies
And let me build my houso."
.That Is tho BUbstanco of tho song, which
was chanted In Mexican by a group of Ig
norant peons, who, If they saw It In print.
would not recognlzo It as a eulogy of and
appeal to tholr hero
Around tho person of the bandit chief has
developed a scries of startling fairy tales,
which nro repeated with great earnestness
by the superstitious peons. In their Imagi
native minds Villa has tho power of magic,
and his many escapes after hvlng been
trapped, apparently, nro ascribed to this.

Fairy talo No. 3 This Is a simple story.
Pancho, qulto bored by tho pursuit which
a Carranza squad was giving him, was
mildly exasperated when his mount be
Cnmo exhausted. Ordinarily It would not
havo mattered, but on this occasion Villa
had Just been Bhot several times onco
through tho lungs, onco In tho thigh and
In two or three other places. Ho could not
conveniently run. Tho apparent dilemma
was easily solvod, howover, when Fran
cisco decided to transform himself Into a
caballlo, or horse. Tho human horse then
sped away toward tho horizon, neighing.
The neigh represented Villa's usual laugh
ter. ' This Is tho pure fiction that has followed
tho bandit's course. What of tho othor
stories of him aro fiction tho crlmo nnd tho

how, when ho operated tho gambling houses
In Junrcz, no beggar was turned away. A
beggar In tho doorwny and a shower of
coins from Villa's hand was tho procedure.
It Is small wonder, then, that reports of
Villa's rehabilitation and his descent upon

tho Carranzlstas wcro hailed with delight
by tho peons. t

paralleled record in a Car Owners' Service Test con
ducted under OFFICIAL A. A. A. sanction and super
vision. Sheepshead Bay Speedway and Long Island roads
were the scenes of this sensational trial which began
at 12:14 P.M. June 15th. and finished at 12:14P.M.
June 29th. Officials of the American Automobile As
sociation maintained a daily 24 hour vigil during the
entire two weeks. Many newspaper and motor jour
nal representatives and parts manufacturers were
in constant attendance.
The sturdy KING ran day and night through rain,
fog and boiling sun without requiring a single re
placement or adjustment.
10,850 miles equals about two years' travel in the
hands of the average owner, yet in this entire jmile
age the car was stopped (with the motor running)
for a total of but 15 hours, 25 min. 41 sec. On this oasis
the test demonstrated that a KING EIGHT, even
with the motor running continuously for two years,
requires only nine minutes per week of an owner's
attention for all service gasoline, water and oil
fillings, tire changes, battery care, etc.
And most astounding of all, the KING made this
10,850 miles with a total labor expense of consider
ably less than ten dollars.
During the entire 10,850 miles a weight equal to five
passengers was carried and the car maintained an
average speed of 34 miles per hour, excluding stops.
An examination made after the test proved the car
to be in perfect running condition and ready for
another trial of the same or greater length.
This great KING achievement tops off the series of remarkable road
tests recently conducted on the Pacific and Atlantic seaboards. Climbinrr
tortuous Mt. Wilson in Southern California sealed in high gear; travel
ling 987 miles in high gear from Los Angeles to San Francisco and re
turn, and driving 544 miles in high gear from Providence to Providence
via Albany and New York City, are three remarkable accomplishments
of the eight cylinder KING all within a fortnight.
The accuracy of every statement in this advertisement can be proved by
impartial, official documents. These gruelling trials have raised still
higher the proud estate of KING ownership, and to prospective car pur
chasers this pioneer eight cylinder car now offers a record which can
mean nothing less than ABSOLUTE SATISFACTION IN PERFORM
ANCE, SERVICE and OPERATION ECONOMY.
