THE SKEPTlC.

Alderman Frank l.. Bowling Of
New York was talking about his
widely praised ordinance to make it
a crime for chauffeurs to take out
their masters motor cars without
leave.
$50 many accidents have accom-

derman Bowling, that the chauf-
feur has come to be regarded very
skeptically. Of course, the great
majority of ehauireurs are all right,
but there is among them a small ma
jority, a small working minority,
which we must treat as a Hoboken
grocer treats his trade.
"This grocer is a cash grocer only.

the mechanical swing of the arms
of the stream Of passers-by-the
right arm always keeping position
with the left leg and the left arm

progress like a crab, while the effort
