He is getting out an idaa with which he expects to sprinkle his wheel path and lay the dust. He will get him a large sponge and suspend it over the front wheel On his route there are numerous charming girls. He will wet the sponge bafore starting So as to be able to lay the dust until he gets to his route. Of course it IS known that Henry could net carry a sponge big enough to wet down the road all the way and also he could not step every now and then to resoak it, so tha ques- tion naturally is: How is he going to derive any benefit from a dry sponge and what have the charming girls to dci with the proposition?
