An Automobile school.

One OF the reasons given by Lon
don firm of automobile manufacturers
for the establishment Of a school for
teaching the entire art OF handling
and running an automobile is that the
demand for skilled men has become
SO great that their own experts are
constantly being taken away from
them by offers Of higher wages from
their patrons. The fees Of the school
viii be for seven lessons about $50 for
a gentleman driver. $50 for lady and
