little ingenuity" says one Of the Of
tenders. Chains across the road and
moving vans blocking the highway are
all right to accomplish the purpose,
but they're cumbersome. My idea for
causing prompt slow-up is to scatter
lot Of grain in road and turn a lot
of hens loose. They would block the
road all right, and II there's one thing
that will make chauffeur slow up it's
hen. Dogs are bad enough, but a
hen always runs the wrong way, and
II the machine is going at any speed
usually ends up under the wheels Hit
ting hen will sometimes throw the
front wheels out of line and cause the
car to swerve. SO drivers almost inva.
riably slow up and give poultry q
