I if I had to live on what you live on. | I suppose ic is just as well it is so. 1t we all lived on the same food there wouldn't be enough to go around.” Tommy Tit's little black eyes twinkled. “I guess you are right| there,” said he. “You couldn't live on what I live on. Somehow I just | can't see you making a meal of nnyl insect eggs, and I make many a meal of them. Tell me, is it nice down in the South?” “Yes, and no,” replied Welcome Robin. “What do you mean by yes and no? It doesn't really mean anything at all,” said Tommy Tit. “Well,” replied Welcome Robin, “it's like this: The country and the weather are all right, if you go looking for them, but dreadful things happen down there.” “What do you mean by dreadful things?” asked' Tommy Tit. “Well, you see, it's this way: Down there we Robbins get together in great flocks, especially at night. It isn't like it is up here. Up here we have our homes, and after the young are raised we have to train them, and so we do not get together in flocks until it is time to go down South. Down there, in some places, great numbers of Robins roost together at night. It 1s there that dreadful things happen. Men and boys come in the night with lights that blind us and with clubs kill great numbers of us.” “What do they do that for?” asked Tommy Tit as he stared at Welcome Robin in wide-eyed astonishment. “I'm told it is to eat, but I really don’t know,” replied Welcome Robin. “Well, I know one thing, and that is that I never, never would go where such things could happen!” declared & car, which is a dangerous and some- times a lethal machine, one must | know how to turn corners, and when to stop and start. That is not enough. | 'To drive & car well and with safety, to yourself and others on the road you | need careful training. As I sit in my suburban home writ- ing, I look out of the window mnow and then. Often I see cars approach- ing on: another at what is really dangerous speed, and every once in a | while I witness a crash. | Not everybody, by any means, is| fit to handle the steering wheel. | Nervous people should never be al- lowed to drive automobiles. Overconfident men or women who imagine that it will be easy to pass the car ahead become a menace to traffic, and they usually occupy more of the road than they have any right to. Al- most every day I see young boys and girls zig-zagging along the road, or stopping suddenly without giving a signal with the arm. Three or four times I have witnessed pretty serious wrecks as a result. Few motorists who have not been well trained understand how great is the momentum of a steel vehicle when it is running at 20, sometimes 30 or 40 miles an hour. At a speed like that nobody on earth is prepared to dodge a car coming with an equal wvelocity, if it is not handled with great skill. I sincerely believe that every motor driver should be given a gruelling ex- amination on the road at varying speeds, taught how to use brakes and to meet every emergency that may arise. And plenty of them are sure to erise. In my town boys and girls of not more than 14 go wabbling around, turning corners on two wheels lnd‘ otherwise endangering their lives and | those of people ahead of or behind them. The training requisite to op- erate a motor ought to last at least & week, if not more. Human life is too dear to be entrusted to tyros and chil- dren. Some day I hope the lawmakers will agree with me, and that “safety first” will become a general rule. (Copyright. 1935.)

I should think you ought to be able to pick up a living even when there are snow and ice.” “I'm wondering if I could,” replied Welcome Robin. “Of course, if many of us stayed up through the Winter it couldn't be done. We soon: would eat all the food and starve to death, or else have to move to the South; but I stayed up here one Winter, and I suppose I could do it again. As you say, there ought to be food enough for one lone Robin. I'm thinking of trying it, Tommy Tit.” “Why don't you?” said Tommy. “You can always go, if you have to.” “I know,” replied Welcome Robin. “I'm just looking around. Mrs. Robin says I will be silly to try it, but some- how I can't quite make up my mind to go down South. If the Winter shouldn't be very hard, I believe I could be quite comfortable up here.” “Of course, you could,” replied Tommy Tit. “Look what a little fellow I am, yet I stand the cold Winter and have a perfectly good time doing it (Copyright, 1935.) —OF THE SWEETEST ORANGE JUICE YOU EVER TASTED!
