[ T think about the bygone days when first drove a motor car, which toiled ong the dusty ways and smoked as| ough twere burning tar. With trem- ling heart I left the town to journey | p the rustic track, for things were al- ays breaking down, and things were & lways out of whack. Along the road I sed to park, in sore disgust, my vmb-i ly van, to fix the plugs that wouldn't | Bpark, to change the belt that ran the | ¥an. And I kept crawling underneath, $o fix a gear, adjust & coil, and there Would get my laurel wreath all daubed fwith grease and rancid oil. There'd be dozen cars in sight, all suffering from | Bilments weird; their owners voiced | gheir keen delight in language that | “would scorch your beard. If some one | traveled 50 miles in those old days without a break, he'd flourish wide, $riumphant smiles and brag until your eart would ache. Then men were al- vays changing tires and swearing roundly as they wrought; an ancient motorist perspires when he gives bygone times a thought. And after every little fun a motor must be overhauled; and #s the owner paid the mon, small won- ¢ ier if he wept and bawled. But now I go week after week, month after | fmonth, and nothing breaks; along the gunlit hills I streak and scorch around the misty lakes. I start long trips ithout a fear of accidents upon the ad; the tires keep running for a year nd do not flatten or explode. The uto, as we know it now, is from all rts of trouble free, until we shall side- ipe & cow or wind it deftly round tree. Yet there are sad and dotard jays who to vain heresies give tongue: “They don't build autos nowadays as as when we all were young!” i WALT MASON. A farmer raises his own food. It's tryin’ t' run an automobile on promises that gits his goat.
