James Montgomery Flagg's Advice to
 AutOmObilists

In the November American Maga- zine James Montgomery Flagg, the famous wit and artist, does piece in words and pictures entitled "The Nuts Automobile Guide" Following is an extract from his advice to automobi lists:
 "If you drive the car yourself, don't examine the drivers seat before you seat yourself. Then you won't be an noyed by the fact that it is covered with grease. If you find the seat lumpy in spots and something very hard presses into pou don't say any thing to the chauffeur about it. He knows all about it. It's roll of overalls, a stack of newspapers, four pounds of cotton waste, a pair of shoes, an old hand pump you don't use any more, and a box of inner tubes.
 Don't imagine that when you ask your chauffeur why he didn't fill the tank he won't have an answer. He will alway shave an answer. His answer will be in this case: I didn't want ot weigh down my car with too much gas' You see, after all, he was think ing of your interests. But did you get the My car? Otherwise the answer is dandy. Very high average.
 ''In running through small towns pay no attention to traffic rules. It is quite absurb for a small town to put on such airs, anyway. Run over the cops toes if he gives you any sass. Always give her the gas when pass ing a trolley car that is discharging passengers. If you tumble few of these rubes over and maim a child or so. turn around, look back at them and laugh. This will show them that you come from large city.
 And the main idea in motoring is to show somebody

ARTHUR HODGES IS NOT IN-
 SANE," SAYS DIR. GREENE

Arthur Hodges is not insane" says Dr. J. l.. Greene, superintendent of the State Hospital, "but his mind has never been developed, and he is just the same as child 8 years of age. By French discovery it is pos ssible to test the backward mind, and |clasify it accurately. This test has been applied to Hodges, and he shows 'the same development as boy of eight years. He is no more capable of reasoning than boy of that age, and should not be held responsible for his crime no more than a child under 12 years, which are spared by the law, but he should be incarcer- ated where he will do the public no harm"
