CHINESE DEFY AUTO

 "It's all because of the devil, a healthy specimen of which haunts all Chinese, driving them to deeds of hero- ism that would be commendable on the battlefield" Pierson said
 The devil, although not visible, has a habit of attaching itself to the coat tails of the orthodox Chinaman. There fore, to rid oneself of this necessary evil, all one must do is to jump in front of a swiftly-moving automobile allowing the fender to brush Satan from the clothing.
 "It's simple, and yet the faster the automobile goes the better they like it, and sometimes their feet slip" Pierson added.
 To further elude these pests, the Chinese have a habit of walking on a zigzag course, for, be it known, the devil can only travel in a straight line, Pierson volunteered.
