bile now, or rides in a machine owned by
someone else; and it is condition of this
State of things that as soon as one gets
into an automobile he immediately has to
hurry, no matter where he is gong or how
much time he has Hurry has become a
habit"

interests Of Justice do not seem 10 hun

Of the rigor of the law, especially In tho
