will not take his family out driving to-
morrow-despite the fact that the
weather man promises an ideal day.
Here is the reason:
Mrs. Haskell discovered the other
morning that there was no cream IN
the house. She asked her husband if
he wouldn't take little run down to
the creamery, about ten blocks from
the house, in his automobile and bring
home the necessary breakfast feature
Certainly he would go.
On the way home when turning
sharp corner he saw out of the corner
of his eye the bottle of milk, tipping in
the seat beside him. The mental pic
ture of the waiting family. the spilled
cream, the delayed-in-trans1t delivery
flashed thru his mind. Taking both
hands from the steering gear he grad
bed the bottle just as 1t was about TO
distribute it's contents over the seat.
The motor car had no sentiment
it had no waiting breakfaSt-it was
immune to the thoughts and desires of
it's driver. So without warning II
smashed into the curbing and the two
front wheels doubled up, crushed, be-
meath the frame.
Mr.. Haskell saved himself from con-
tact with the windshield by leaping to
the ground. When neighbors saw him
from their sleeping porches after the
crash he was viewing the wreckage-
and grasping an unspilled milk bottle
in both hands.
