'1 Whole Wheat Bread Can you sit at perfect ease in the front seat while your wife drives the car and (a) refuse to shift on a hill until the motor begins to halt and stumble. (bl speeds up as she épproaches a curb and then jams on the emergency, (e; chokes the en- gine while it is hot and then fails to reduce the mixtur-r to your own exact little point in the first three hundred yards, (d) grinds 1n the starter continuously for an endless time until a flooded carburetor makes up its mind to work. (on turns ”mind in her seat to reprove When you are riding in the front seat with some other driver, even a. better driver than yourself, do you ever find the muscles in your thigh growing stiff from putting on imag- inary brakes every time you are go- ing down hill and a car is coming: up, fast, in the other «‘lireetion? Wholly natural, you may say. but do you do it in a railroad train, or‘ a speed boat, or a roller coaster, or a buggy? Now, mark you. it is not the fart thatvl have these fears that l taki- any pride. It is merely in the. hurt that I have the courage to admit them. I know pm‘t’ertly well. both from observation and from know- ledge of human nature. that there are hundreds of thousands of men who are just as murh afraid of a motor car as l aan-hift they simply won’t, admit it. I use the word “men” advisedly. twrause I haw never yet seen a. woman at any agr- who had genuine motor fear in any form. Women as a rlass haw com- plete faith in anything which is made of iron or steel and sells for more than two hundred dUllars. At. the same. time there are many thou- sands. both men and women, and ewerially young boys. who would be. a great deal better off it“ they did have. a little healthy respvrt for that incredible modern engine, of destruction known as the motor car. Now reader, you may be inclined to laugh at me as a timid 0ch fun], tn say that you, at least. have nu motm' rdead whatsoever. But just Int me ask you one or two questions : There may be other forms of this horrible disease and if I have. not mentioned them it is merely because I have forgotten them. Uh, Yes, there is one very conuncm form of motor fear from which I am entirely fleeâ€"fear of spoiling the paint on my car. Take. one look at my car itself and you would understand why. There are several distinct kinds of motor fear and l have them all. First of course, there is pure physical ter- roeâ€"fear of an accident. Much more insidious, however, and much more wearing are the subtler forms of motor fearâ€"constant fear of engine trouble, fear of punctures and blow- outs, rear of crowned roads and that partly imaginary, crab-like crawl- ing which the rear end of the car seems to take on such highways. Then there is always the fear of theft, fear of freezing. fear of ex- hausted batteries, fear of every new sound and smell which arises from an active engine. tear of mud and sand, fear ol‘ driving in trall'ic, and especially fear or strange. un- known regulations in n-wv mates and cities. I have, I believe. one genuine claim to fame which I am not the least slow in advancing. I am the only man living. who will get right up in public meeting and admit that he is afraid of a motor car. 'And yet I love cars. The two things seem incompatible, but they are not.

Then came the play, Mrs. Briggs of the Poultry Yard. which we looked forward to as something extra good, and we were not disap- pointed, and not only was everyone well pleased, but such remarks could be heard as, “We have often paid travelling troups two or three times the price for not nearly so good a show,” and we miss our guess it‘ they are not engaged to put it on the boards in some larger building.
