"Well, how do you do it them" per-

'Well,'' said the senator, 'I guess

for forty years now and I find it works
pretty well.
If all of US followed the senator's
rule, of course there would be trouble,

association.
1t is intimated that the association
will pass a number of rules govern
ing the conduct OF auto drivers. The
code upon which the ritual Of the or
der is based is said To have been
found by cab driver in storm sew
er sealed in a ketchup bottle. Some
are inclined to take the story as a
joke
