Ten Miles % Hour

An automobile is q eontraption on
four wheels that won't run ten miles
an hour. When the automobile was first
invented in Kokomo, lnoians. the in.
yentor always had bis wife follow him
in a phaeton so she could, in case ii
was necessary. help 70 get back 10 ,he
sbop. One day he left the horse and
rig SO far behind his wife hunted up a
1 telephone and called up al the farmers
to head him OF.
Ihe next day the city council Of Ko-
komo hurried into special session and
passed an ordinance that prohibited a
sneed of over ten miles an hour in Ko
komo. Afterward, however, Kokomo
woke ND to the fact that she hao be.

the man who built the first auto by
repeating theslO-mile rule. ana asking
him to let them buy stock in his com
pany. Today the Haynes car is known
around the world, and III still made

Pretty soon autos began to get
noised around and the people who saw

Also il became noticeable that only
the rich we're using the eontraption,
and as no one likes rich man anyhow
why not get all you can out Of him.
So they set up cry to soak him, and
soak him they did. However, most
progressive communities. seeing that
the auto was good thing, and that
they livened up the atmosphere. and
that the auto rider was . good spender,
followed in the paths Of Kokomo and
repealed the 10-mile limit, within
which no car could stay, and invited
him to come among them and spend his
money, and help make things 60.
Some, however, were 30 interested in
other things that they did not have
time to keep up with the auto busi-
ness, and let the 10-miles stay in the
city commandments. In the meantime
people owning autos got the idea that
what was enjoyed In Rome, was IL
censed anywhere. and proceeded to
move where they pleased, and settle
them down.
"A great many men of means hap
pened to hit this burg, this staid town

Keep dust caps and otter parts re-

on the step or on the seat OF the car or
in some other place where they can be
found when wanted and where they
cannot get inside the tire by any pos
sible chance.
Use does not iuiure tires. Like the
human family it is idleness that de-
stroys them. An inner tube hanging
in q garage all winter will be ruined
by spring. Its companion tube which
is working daily remains flexible. elias

1t is the same with'an envelope or
casting. A tire neglected on the roof
of a limousine exposed to the sun is
baked and ruined, but the envelope on
the car has nothing to fear from the
same sun rays that destroyed its idle
neighbor.
