Cars Everywhere

Hid in his icy grotto the Eskimo
abides and marvels at the auto in
which the stranger rides. By many
an ancient river, on many paimy
plain, there scoots the creaklng
f1ivver, some record to obtain. BE-
side the cold Mackenzie and by the
winding Po speed demons, IN a
frenzy, on bughouse errands go.
Along the desert reaches, where
camels used to toll the Yankee
buzz-cart screeches, demanding gas
and oil. Where once the hungry
jaguars watched heather council
fires the old gas wagon staggers
with fiat or blown-out tires. On
Greenland's icy mountains the
super-sevens stand: by Afric's sun
ny fountains the henrys paw the
sand The patient dromedary is
looking pale and drawn; it is dis
couraged. vcry-it knows its graft
is gone. The steed we used to cher
iSh. that lived in high romance, is
billed to wilt and perish, it sees its
doom advance. In all the storied
places, in every sacred vale, the
wild-eyed chuffer chases, with speed
cops on his trail. Jerusalem is
ycarning to shoe the vans away.
and motor cars are burning the road
to Mandalay. In China's secret
cities the tires of rubber spin. and
nuts hum motor ditties Tibetan
gates within. Now Paul Revere's
deriding the steed tn at won his race.
and Lochinvar is guiding a bus
through windswept space.

band. a. l.. Humes. wealthy lawyer Of

several days on board his ship at the

ed TINS morning and heard the cross
examination of his former wife.
ne witness was pale and showed
plainly the effects OF her illness. She
kept n glass of water at hand and
frequently slipped it.
Judge Wright kept up fire of
cross-que estions throughout the days
session, taking the witness over al
most all of her direct testimony. At
torneys Wilton J. Lambert. Eudolph
II. Yeatman and William L. Leahy for
Humes objected several times to what
they called repetition. but the court
allowed the questions
Mrs. Humes was asked whether
Humes had not proposed to her before
she underwent an operation in a New
York hospital shortly after her di-
vorce in Reno. She emphatically de-
clared that he had not, saying she had
been taken directly from her home to
the operating table. and no one had
an opportunity to ask her anything
Had he ever before in your life
asked you to marry him." queried
Judge Wright
NO" quickly responded the wit
ness.
Mrs. Humes declared that she bore
the expense of counsel to represent
her in the divorce proceeding. having
paid Attorney NJ. l.. Hardy of New
York $4,000. She admitted she had
not paid the lawyers fee until after
her marriage to HumcS, but it was
with her own money.
The case bids fair to occupy the at
tention of Justice HitZ and the jury
