ANDY LOOKS OVER NAIN ST, TRAFFIC Dos It While Mary Am Is Shopping Dear Mary Ann. The last time I had a Main street date with you and was kept waiting impatiently for what seemed hours for you to finish your 5 and 10 cent | shopping you asked why didn't 1 pass the time by giving our city traf- fic the once-over, as there’s plenty of amusing incidents to hand a fel la a chuckle if.only he st awake long enough to notice them. Well Mary, when 1 was again kept wait- ing last night I does this, but fails to notice anything except mayhe the following. An expensive gas wagon, all dolled up with a new shine and a green driver, rolls into view and stalls sud- denly. Driver steps on starter while still in “gear” awd car jumps for- ward & few fect like a mule that sentmindedly backed into a horn nest and broke up housckeeping. Advice is heard from a young rea seat driver who hilariously shouts, “hold everything” and the onc who is doing hi to make the buggy behave looks as embarrassed as the old maid who confessed that her greatest ambition was to be disap- pointed in love so's she could tell the world about it. The confused dri Lut as car was ' the shifting gears wasn't on any better terms with each other than a duil razor 1s with & heavy beard and engage with @ clash that would make the cym- bals in a band turn green with envy and go back to the old job of being a letter tray. Finally he is off to a flying start, almost hitting a deliv- ery truck which pulls quickly aside und whose driver mutters words which should ncver be used on church steps. As car rolls from view all breath easicr, including the driver, a traffic and a jay- Iker whose tootsies were Inas- saged by a rear tirc. = Traffic is held up as long freight passes. While waiting, occupants of vehicles pass time in various ways. Male driver brings forth smokes and lights up. Lady companion rests tries again vanity case in lap, looks in mirror | and brightens up. Youthful Romeo on rear seat not; and cautiously removes arm encirel- ed about girl friend. Girl friend looks unconcerned and deftly runs fingers through hair to rearrange it A bystander smilingly remarks, “Th voungsters nowadays may not be headed for the zoo hut they do mors neckin’ than a wiraffe.” Man pokes head out of fouring car and yells greeting to a friend on sidewalk. While returning hea' to car knocks off derby, which oblig- ingly lands on running-board. Imi- tates a catortionist by leaning over side, stretching and straining with a boarding house reach to get a fin- ger hold. Accomplishes difficult feat without opening any doors or falling out and sheepishly clamps rescued Hla tightly to noble bean. Several youngsters with boothlacking outfits witness incident and give helpful hints for future use, “Tie a rope to it. Get an anchor. Pull it down over your ears and you'll never lose it, ete.” Freight caboose puts in appear- ance and as gates slowly ascend am- bitious driver of a flivver is off like a football player on an end run and -al- mest has windshield and part of top removed. Some drivers try to avoil the bumps. Others take them as they come, never missing any. FEl- derly people trying to look dignified as they become somewhat shuffled about. Young folks grinning and en- joying the bumps as though the ride was like that of a roller coaster. Andy Dale s DUCATION Bombay, Nov. 24 (UP) — M Little Lamb is complet ed.
