HE FINDS FORDS
 ARE AS ALIKE AS
 PROVERb|AL PEAS ~'i'- | Ah~

Tom Murphy. who lives out on Sev- enth street came to town yesterday with the same Ford that he has owned for years. And as he drove into town behind Old Glory, pasted on his wind shield, he kept cautious eye on the new speedometer in front of him.
 Tom pulled up on Washington street, parked his trusty Ford, and went to a nearby shop for a shave-then to an- other shop for refreshments. Coming out later, musing over fragrant tooth pick, he started for his car, but came to a halt before a bewildering line of Fords. Tom looked the line over, blinked his eyes and looked again. He was unable to pick his pet from the brood. He stirred his faculties, made sluggish by a hearty meal, and looked the battalion of cars over for the third time. His car was not, among those present"
 The confused Tom, then bethought himself of the number of his car-1412 and took an inventory of all numbers before him. But there was no 1412. Perhaps" he thought, T have forgot ten the number; better look for some other Identification mark" The Ameri- can flag on the wind shield! He looked again. There it was the third car from the end. He started to climb in, but to his disgust, found that this was not his car. He looked about in despair. Most of the FOrds had American flags on their windshields. None of them he could call his.
 He couldn't have mislaid the car, but to make sure, he looked under an au tomobile nearby, then searched his pockets. But to no avail. For two hours he walked the streets in a vain hunt. Suddenly he remembered that he had just gotten a new state license. The happy man raced back to the as semblage of Fords on Washington street. The new number was the key to his trouble. for with it, he found his car in a twinkling.
 But here is the tragedy. Pinned to the steering wheel was a notice from the poice department summoning him to court for leaving his car standing on Washington street for more than 20 minutes He was in the tolls of the law in spite of the new speedometer.
