A certain young negro in a
neighboring city, having had
most narrow escape from serious
injury and probable death on that
morning, proceeded to tell his
recently taken spouse of his ad-
venture.
Strolling on the streets of that
city on the above mentioned
morning. hearing a growl be-
hind him, turned. and to his
almost sudden death from fright.
saw a rabid dog flying toward
him. Following the example set
by the dog, he began to fly also.
After running several hundred
feet, upon turning he saw that
the dog was steadily gaining upon
him. AS a possible retreat from
his danger he lodged into g. de-
partment store, entering into the
shoe department. Turning his
head. he perceived with his bulg-
ing eyeballs that the dog was
gaining on him at the same rate
as above-steadily.
At this point the much excited
spouse, ever anxious as to the
welfare of her husband, became
very eager. Edging closer to him.
she affectionately took him by
the arm. From there, contin-
ued the husband, ''I ran into the
collar and tie department, and
the dog was still closer. From
there I flew into the hat depart
ment, and, looking behind again,
I saw that dog was almost on
me. And then"
HE grabbed you," interrupted
the wife.

grasped the dial and began to

falling tumbers to reveal the com

on again. 1t was new kind of

The old-fashioned burglar grasped

The doctor kept accurate account

Champion Proves
Mighty Good Car
For SrOrtSnen

SpCrtsmen are finding tho new
Overland Champion closed car much
to their liking. The Champion. in
addition to being a powerful and
weatherprOof car, has a large lug
gage space in the back after the rear
seat is removed. Fifty cubic feet
may be utilized for baggage with
this seat OLt. More baggage space
is provided in the trunk on the rear.
The two seats may be made into
comfortable bed.
Overland quality predominates in
the Champion which is constructed
to give the best service at a very
economical figure.
Distinctive body lines and the
very best equipment for comfortable
and safe driving also make the
Overland Champion an IDEAL closed
car for the woman driver. There
is a beauty in the design which no
other car of the same price possesses.
Special attention has been made
20 appointments which make the
Overland Champion a suitable car
for all kinds of driving.

Think A Bit First

A common failing Of the owner Of
a new car is to rush to his dealer
the moment(he doesn't quite under
stand something in regard to its
operation. 1t consumes his time
and the deale"'s-and is the best
argument for giving the matter a lit
tie careful thought before inquiring.
One driver recently. complained to
his dealer because they had not
given him key to the door Of his
new closed car. 1t developed that
the ignition switch key was also the
door key. The owner minght have
saved himself a lot of annoyance if
re had figured it out for himself.

as to whether women drivers. as n
class, are more careful than men. or
vice versa. The question has been
through the grinder a number Of
times, but not until recently has any
thing approximating an answer been
discovered. 1t is now recognized that
there is difference, though the re-
suits are identical. One sex is care
less through inexperiencc: the other
is careless through banking on eX-
perienCe.

Enameiinn The Eentlers

There is a trick in enameling fen
ders. and the car owner who aspires
TO touch up the old boat ought to
know it. Enamel is merely finish
ing varnish with lamp black to give
it color. Varnish gets full of bub-
bles when being applied. and also has
a habit Of running into hills and
dales. In applying it, therefore. put
it on in generous quantities, then
brush it crosswise. This keeps the
enamel from running. The final step
is to dry the brush and by running
it lightly over the coating of enamel
break all the air bubbles. II this Is
not done the job will be speckled.
