Mr.. George Newlands started to
crank his Ford ear with an advance
spark. George had been taught
better than to try to do this act, hav-
ing many a time quiet little laugh
at someone elses' expense for trying
the same trick, and this time was no
exception-the innocent little crank
just tried to see how fast and how
many times it could go around back
wards before George got his hand out
of range. 1t cracked him twice burst
ing the fingers wide open and dislo-
eating them so that it was a shame
to look at them-George has a nice
big fat hand now and carries it round
in sling and takes just as good care
of it as if it was little baby.

| for help, Leo Hames responded brave
