MIR. and Mrs. Solon Hamblin have
invested in new Dodge touring car,
and Mr.. Hamblin is now becoming ac-
quainted with the working parts of the
machine We have been informed
that Mr.. Hamblin is having great
deal of sport tring to make the ma
chine go where it should. He figured
out the other day that the easiest way
to enlarge the opening of the barn to
permit the car to enter is to put on
lot of juice and let the front tenders
take off piece of the door jam. This
method of converting barn into a
garage is rather severe on the business
end of a new car. Mr.. Hamblin can
himself that he is not the only
driver who thinks that sln automobile
should open the doors wide enough to
pass through. Mr.. Chas. Baumgart-
ner, the manager of the National Man
company, smashed into the
loors of his new garage, and after he
backed up his Nash the doors resembl-
I'd the wreckage which the cyclone
eft in its wake at Colesbburg some
Years ago.
