 Stafford can boast of having the youngest autoists and speed maniacs in the state, if not in the world. Yesterday Bernarda's truck was left on an incline in front of P. DaDalt's oly's house while DaDalt, the driver, was eating dinner. Two young boys about four years old were experiment. ing with the machine when it started down the hill. They stuck to the wheel until the car hit the curbing then they were bounced around some. The front tires were broken at the l ourbing, but nothing daunted, they stayed in until they hit the veranda on Tonoly's home. This effeotually stopped the car and broke in the ve- randa some and smashed one of the pill l lars. The boys were thrown out but not injured.
