What was left of the pushcar could be picked up in a coffce pot and there'd still be room for flivver parts that get ripped off. The popcorn guy appears from no- wheres and seeing what was left of his business “bawls me out” as though I was his wife or something, demanding damages. I got peeved and tells him that | when leaving his wagon without a chaperon he should anchor it to a rock or tie it to a tree, and I'll pay him damages on the same day that & woman is elected president, which will be five days later than never.

All I needed was a| little more driving practice and as my fella Andy and me was flivver- ing along East street where there wasn't much traftic I asks if I can take the wheel. Andy pulls over to the curb and we changes places. I shoves the flivver into gear and we plunges forward like a frisky colt that's had too much oats and not enough exercise. Lizzie nearly shook the breath out of me but maybe it _ [Was because I'd started her in high without bothering with the low. Finally the flivver changes from a mad gallop to a fast trot and we moves along as smoothly as a lum- ber wagon on a dirt road. I makes a turn and drives up the hill past the ball field. On nearing the top I noticed one of those two-wheeled popcorn pushcarts parked on the road, with a table Yeg or something hanging down to kecp it from tip- ping over, Anyways the popcorn guy wasn't around and a gang of | mischievous kids was giving it the | once-over, It seems they relcased the brakes, if any, because the wagon, with a shrill whistle, rolls towards me. Andy yells to step on | the brakes but as I had my bgnnet pulled down over one' ear I only heard half and thought he said to step on the gas. ) I does this, at the same time giv- ing the wheel a wicked twist that banks the flivver like a race car on a curve. In so doing 1 made a big- ger mistake than the jane that flirts with a himbo old enough to be your old man's boyhood pal because in half the time it takes to bring any- body's mother-in-law home from the country for a long visit, the flivver skids into a ditch, taking the push- cart with it, and how. The pushcart gets thrown onto the flivver hood, a wheel goes through the open wind- shield, and the table leg left-jabs the radiator. i Bags of popcorn was scattered all over the landscape like Sunday comic papers, not to mention in our laps, ears and mouths, Luckily no- ing that “Lilac Time,” First Na- tiongl's big mew apecial which will be at the Capitol ¢ days beginning Bunday night, with Celleen Moore as the star, enthralls by reason of the love story it tells to even & greater extent than becguse of the World War background, First National has supplied a picture, perfectly directed by George Fitsmaurice, wherein a little French girl and an ° English aviator are the principals.

' But it wept with Colleen Moore, laughed with her, longed, as did she, for peace, that Joye might not be thwarted in its_purpose. e work of the star is of that quality which defies the critic's an- alysis, She simply is the char- acter she portrays.

Burr McIntosh deserves credit as do George Cooper, Jack Stone and every other member of the cast. It is inevitable that for many years to come, the World War will threw its shadow over pictures, plays and books.
