There are those lads who climb oil the spare tire or other parts of the rear of the car, or hang on the end while roller-skating, or riding on bicycles. Others climb on the running board and thus place their lives in jeopardy. Some of these reckless individuals are girls and many are grown ups who ought to know better. They should be very definitely forbidden to ride thus. What may happen to those on the outside is bad enough but the responsibility of the owner of the car is considerable. The practice of a motorist taking a stranger into his car for a ride should be frowned upon. This pastime is called hitching or catching a ride. This business has reached the proportions of a fad in some parts of the country. It is becoming a menace both to motorists and those who hail automobiles for free rides. It is a nuisance that has elements in it of both physical and moral dangers. Not a few have become so bold that they stand in the middle of the road exposing themselves to the danger of being run into as they practically demand a lift. Many a driver, being kind-hearted by nature, finds it difficult not to give these lifts. While most of these self-appointed travelers are young men out for innocent fun some of them on the contrary are not as innocent as they look. Women drivers of cars, perhaps being more tender-hearted than men, are probably most apt to take these parasitic wanderers aboard. But both men and women drivers will usually be using good discretion if they resist the temptation. Here is one time it is wise to pass by on the other side. No doubt the small boy is the most persistant solicitor of^free auto rides. When one considers the dangers of this catching of rides where girls take up this sort of thing, it is not difficult to point out disastrous possibilities. While it can be taken for granted that most of men drivers of automobiles are decent, yet some of our worst most vicious citizens are abroad in automobiles and a girl cannot always tell from a casual look what sort of a situation she is about to get into when accepting a ride. . It would not be fair to assart that a driver should never offer a pedestrian a ride. However, in view of the possible hazzards of hitch- hiking on the part of both drivers of cars and the hikers, it would seem that torists would be wise to discourage this sport.

I;., Walled III ^ The night was dark, and the hour late, when the lone merrymaker advanced unsteadily toward the concrete lamp-post. Gingerly touching the rough surface he felt about until assured of a solid support and then lean : ed back, resting' After a few min- i utes, deciding to again pursue his al- j coholic path, ha turned and felt carefully i&Tut the surface of the post. Round and round he walked, never taking his hand off the concrete. Amasement gave way to despair and at last, sinking down on the pavement, "ByIGod, I'm walled in."
