An automobilist informs the Bath
Times man that cats and kittens are
attracted at night by the lights of a
car more than are dogs. or indeed than
any other animal. He says that he
nearly tipped over his car the other
night trying to dodge kitten which
ran into the road ahead and would not
get out of the way. The lights, he
says, seem to fascinate animals, es-
pecially the kittens. A squirrel one
night ran out and remained in the
middle of the road as he was passing
in his car. He had seen dogs run
over by other cars in this way, but
more often dogs, he says, are picked
up by cars, by running toward them
and barking, falling sometimes to
dodge the wheels. All this Is doubt
less true, but does not excuse rapid
driving Of automobiles around the city
streets, as 20 many are doing, endan-
gering not only cats and dogs but hu-
man lives.

Most towns have at least one hill
which is a stiff proposition for auto
mobiles TO negotiate but Smiths hill
in the town of Raymond is regarded
by all who have attempted to climb it
as being about the toughest of them
all. Very few machines are able to
take it Che first time and some never
get over it without help. They tell
a story of one woman from away,
who was down in Maine with her first
machine. This was d number of years
ago and the auto had not been de-
veloped to its present high state In
going to the village of Raymond one
day, she attempted to climb Smith
hill. 1t was failure and after about
six attempts she was obliged to Sc
cure the assistance of a farmer and
a pair of good horses to get the auto
to the top. A few years later, with
a new and more powerful car, she
was down in Maine again. Recalling
the trouble at Smith hill, the lady
decided to test her car on it. The
result was the same The machine
could not make the top. She again
called upon the farmer and with the
aid of his horses the auto reached the
hill top. The farmer said to- her:
Didn't ! help you up with a car two
or three years ago. Yes" said the
woman, but you'll never do it again.
