BOYS SPRING JOKE WITH
 OLD TIRE ON AUTOMoBILIsTs

The youngsters along the highways about the city are having fine sport with motorist and many is the motorist who has been the victim of their joke. The youngsters get an old tire and when it is dark they attach a rope to it and place the tire by the side of the road. The motorist coming along sees the tire as his lights strike it and, thinking he has found q tire that has fallen from some machine, stops to pick it up. Just about as he stoops to grab the tire the youngsters pull the rope and away goes the tire into the bushes where a chorus of gleeful yells greet the victim.
 One motorist, however, threw a good scare into somebody's sens the other night. The man had been the victim of the same joke before and when he sa W another tire lying along the road he knew what it meant. He stopped his car and going to the roadside caF ed back to an imaginary companion in the car, If that tire moves shoot into the bushes" This had the desired effect There was a scurrying in the bushes and small voice piDed up, Don't shoot Mister. we're only fooling." The man is in possession of an old worn-out tire and a long piece of rope.
