old lady quoth when criticized for os-
oulating her pet bovine. You see. 1t Is
one of the laws of physics that what
goes up, must come down. The kind
reader will also note that the law of

has had some experience as an auto
driver. He has driven my Ford sew
eral miles"-must demonstrate their
ability to drive vehicle by taking the
recruiting officer out. He Is we'll in

nerve. Speedometers are not neces-
sary to convince the recruiting officer
of the speed travelled; he has had suf-

miles an hour, Ford tenders rattle and
at twenty-five miles an hour the oc-
cupants rattle, too. Drivers who
squeak" brakes and slide a car twenty
feet at each stop are barred. The re-
cruiting officer will Judge solely by
asking a few questions of the appli

as he built, repaired and sold them for
three years. Every opportunity viii be
afforded young men to get to the top
