be sure and arrange them SO that either

across the place where foot passengers
| step from the curb to cross the street. II
| the street Is very muddy it is all the more
important that you should do this This
| will serve to keep them from forgetting
| that you have 4 team. Their feet are made

| themselves Let them stay on their own
side of the street. What do they want to
cross for anyhow?
