II is singular 10 observe how easily some peo-
ple .ptye themselves away" In a Sunday paper
a week ago at least two advertisements were
seen of bicycles offered for sale which. 1t was
stated. had cost 1925 when new. Now. every
body who knows anything about bicycles knows
that this was the standard price for the wheels
of 1894. and. Of course. the advertised wheels
belong to that era. They may be In excellent
condition, but they are not up-to-date bicycles
and no one looking for wheel of this character
would take the trouble to answer the adver-
tsements.

In weather like the present it behooves prudent
riders of the wheel to take careful note of the
wind before going on any long journey. 1t is so
easy to go mile after mile when travelling with
the wind that one may fail TO form any ade-
auate conception Of its force, only to find on
turning that it is a hard fight against it all the
way back. 1t Is not always easy to
weather-vane in city streets or on park drives.
however, but II a flag flying from any high
place can be observed 1t affords a fairly good
guide. Perhaps not an infallible one, If
mans recent experience is likely to be that of
others When he started out one day last week.
he saws he noticed that by one flag which he Is
in the habit OF watching the wind was blowing
directly from the north. After going a mile
and a half he glanced at another flag and 10
his surprise found that the wind coming
right out Of the west. Later he got his eye
a weather-vane. which showed that the wind
was northwest by west
