4 DOCTOR ON AUTOMOBILES

I know of no reason why man or
woman. with average intelligence
sound limbs and good vision. should
not be able to successfully pilot an au-
tomobile over our ordinary country
roads or city streets. It is remarkable
how quickly ones timidity vanishes
and how soon we attain a feeling of
confidence. AS we learn our machine
we find that it is easy to control and
simple to manage. The nervous pa
tient, no matter how timid, need not
fear TO take the first lesson at the
steering wheel; what appears to be diff
ficult and perplexing at first soon be-
comes easy and fascinating. A good
deal of nonsense has been written
about the strenuous automobile face,
and the effects of wind and dust upon
the eyes and lungs.
Most of the faces notice in the au-
tomobiles that pass reflect content
ment and happiness. There is nothing
depressing or particularly strenuous
about riding in or driving a motor car
at a respectable gait, even through
the crowded streets. Leslie s

MAKES A NOVEL DEFENSE.

A blind man named Green made a
curious defense at Birmingham, Eng
land, to a charge of smashing a plate
glass window worth G15.
He had been blind, he said, for seven
years. On the night in question he
cried for assistance to cross the road
but no one came. Then he heard some
one at a distance, and struck at what
used, when he could see, to be boards
surrounding waste ground. He was
astounded when he heard the sound of
broken glass.
The jury acquitted him and he was
discharged.
