Paul Benson of this village supplied the answer last Thursday, when, at the four corners just west of F. W. Pratt's house, his car slowed and turned completely over. As might be expected, the car was scratched some, but Flivvel will stand lots of grief, and as MT. Benson escaped without even losing collar button, this incident may also be classed as a near miracle. MT. Benson got an extra wheel near by and after putting that on and giving the car good shaking for acting so, he drove it home Some of the re- maining wheels made tracks that would make snake dizzy. but you can't always judge car by the tracks it makes. -4
