CAT THAT GOES JOY RIDING
Gray Tabhy on New York Farm Uses
Big Leghorn Rooster for
Her Mount.

A cat is supposed to be averse to
any locomotion other than that af-
forded by her own soft feet, but a
gray tabby on farm near Syracuse,
N. Y, has commandeered big Leg
horn rooster on which to go joy rid
ing. No one has taught the cat the
trick, and she never tries to mount
the back of any other fowl in the
barnyard but the Leghorn. When
puss. feels like taking ride around
the premises she waits until the Leg
horn passes, and leaps on his back,
sitting there almost upright like a
human equestrian, hind feet hanging
down each side of his wings and
front paws firmly clasping the neck
of the unhappy bird, At first the
rooster was terrified and tried to run
away with his strange burden, but
the faster he ran the more the cling
ing cat seemed to enjoy it, and Chan
ticleer is now resigned to bear his
tormentor around the yard until she
is tired and slips off his back, He
has to keep going, whether he wants
to or not, as the cat promptly rakeS
him across the comb if he stands
still, The only way the Leghorn can
avoid the cat is by remaining on his
perch in the henhouse, and some
times he will stay there all day, re-
fusing to come down even for his
corn.

Points to be Observed in
Learning to Drive Machine

The most difiicult task for the driv-
The disengagement of the clutch to-
gether with the speed lever movement
is quite as difficult at first as patting
the head with one hand and rubbing
the chest with the OTHER. II there were
not SO many things to do all at the
same time the beginner would be less
confused. However. driving is SIM
pie art when once mastered. says W.
H. Stewart of the Stewart Automobile
academy.
Preparatory to starting the engine
one should always be cautious. First
note that the gear lever is in neutral
position, then set the emergency
brake This accomplished the danger
of being run over by ones own car

Assuming that the engine is started
advance the spark to the normal pc.
sition on the quadrant and adjust the
hand throttle until the motor runs
smoothly and without racing. The
driver is then ready to take his posi-
ton behind the wheel
Since most operators use the foot

throttle, let us assume it's use in the
present instance. Before starting the
car it is we'll to note a few don'ts
namely:
l. Don't place the hands above the
center of the steering wheel at any
time.
2. Don't take too firm grip on the
steering wheel; it looks awkward and
is tiresome and dangerous.
| 3. Don't race the motor.
4. Don't move the gear lever with
out disengaging the clutch.
| 5. Don't let the clutch in fast, es
pecially when starting the car from q
standstill.
6. Don't move the foot away from
the clutch pedal when the car is NOV
ing-it should always be in position.

10. Don't take your eyes off the road

For such it is we'll to note that the
