Out in one of the Middle West's in- dustrial cities of 60,000 there’s a Yyoungster, more clever than scrupu- lous, who has mastered . the problem of getting new fenders absolutely without cos! “Whenever I need a new fender 1 drive around on the boulevards until I see some one ignoring the stop signs, and then if he is going slowly enough to make it certain that both our necks are safe, I maneuver around; so there is a collision,” the youth explains. “You mean you deliberately hit him?"” he was asked.
