Sport of Collar Spottlng.

Collar spotting," the new automo-
bile sport, Is at its best when the
streets are dirty enough to hold pud-
dies of water. When the broadly
tired wheel of the machine strikes
such a puddle thin but solid sheet
of water Is thrown upward and out
ward, the path 1t takes being deter
mined by the speed of the machine,
the depth of the liquid and, to GER
tain extent, its consistency. These
three factors make the aiming OF the
sheet a matter of great skill. When
the puddle Is close to the curb 1t Is
possible for the expert spotter, by
swerving into 1t, to throw the sheet
In such way as to hit a mans col
lar--even when It's narrow one
or the white feathers on a woman's
hat Not every one is as expert as
this, but the great fun of the sport
lies In the fact that even when you
miss your aim you're pretty sure to
hit something. II it's only skirts or

Hurt of unklnd Words.

Unkind words are sharper than
swords. II you cut your finger there
Is but temporary pain. II your heart
Is hurt with sarcasm or brutal speech
the suffering continues as long as your
memory is working. Since we all
know the agony of injured feelings 1t
certainly behooves all OF US to be
sparing with singing conversation.
Az one grows wiser and older one
pays little heed to what others say.
Unkind things then apparently don't
have the power to hurt. The older,
wiser ones just twirl their thumbs and
smile. 1t Is a great relief when one
gets to that point of perfect tranquil
lily.
