of brains 1t is confirming Americans in the
habit of buying pictures instead of exercising
their wits. Instead of sitting down and Wrltlng
a friend a letter full of epigram and humor, as
the most intellectual of our fathers dld, the
modern man mails so-called comic postal card
The cartoon takes up nearly all the card, so that
he only has the trouble to inscribe his name IN
one corner In this way the stupidist is placed
on a par with the most brilliant The Ounce mas
lust as good opportunity to make an acqualnt-
ance laugh as the born humorist.
The automobile picture postals, winch are
printed especially for motor tourists TO send TO
friends are especially denounced. such cardS,
il is said argue an utter non-existence OF gray
matter in those who send them.
The motor postas portray automobiles in
various plights as. for instance, with a tire ex-
poded with one wheel gone or in collision Win
p telegraph pole. They come in sets and are
bought by the hundred at the beginning OF
trim Should an automobilist, therefore, meet
with an accident he simply mails the kind of
card which will depict it. He does not even have
to sign his name. He has had that printed on
the card in advance. The date is put on by the
mailing stamp at the postoffice. Thus no time
or labor is lost Should there be no accident,
and the tourist desires to let his friends know
how splendidly he is getting on, ne uses card
renresanting an automobile bowling along
abreast of a railroad train, with few blanks In
one corner to fill in The printed words be-
tween which he may write are as follows:
S.5aye travelled - miles to-day. Have had

ing - Weight - pounds. Bye-by. (Sls-

Another complaint from Boston is that the
picture postal teaches imitation OF the worst
