be successful, as it lnsures privileges not other
wise easily reached, and must have beneficial
sendency.

know what concentrated essence Of municipal stu
pidity invented the notion of sprinkling the Russ
pavement. This fine foundation for wheels IS

til he disappears, the sprinllers are trailing back
and forth their hogshcads and converting what
little dust there may be on the pavement ihto
slippery paste A more intensely stupid opera
ton it would be difficult to imagine. Not only
are horses thrown down by this ubricating paste
but it is not unusual to see men cropping on then
hands and knees for the curbstone 1t IS time
that this pasting operation was stopped.
