Irwin Hodges, colored, had never
driven an automobile, but running a
Ford looked like a snap to him. He
tried it on somebody else's Ford and
found to his chagrin and discomfort
that more care should be eXercis-
ed in operating a Ford than in SHOW
ing a wheel barrow. The sum total
of it is that the Texas Oil company

tied up by the steering wheel.
