A. A. A. MERGED
WITH RIVAL
BODY
Consolidation With N. m. A.
Affected After Conference.
Clubs Must Approve.

Consolidation of the American
Automobile Association and the
National Motorists Association was
effected early today at the end

sons.
The first conference between the

to consolidation was made easy

ready agreement to a proposal that

both organizations be eliminated

forming q virtually new associ-
alton.

nation have not yet been perfected,

agreed upon.

organization will be an executive
committee Of seven members. Mr..

who has been head OF the three
AS since May, will be president;

orary posts in the two organizations

orga nization of the N. M. A.. will
probably be secretary; and William

THE LITTLE DOG.
HE was a little dog.
WITH yellow ears,
AND was sitting hunched up
AGAINST the building.
ON the corner where the cars stop
AND he looked lonesome,
LIKE he had lost his master,
OR like q dog used to
WHEN his said master
WAS inside a. saloon,
AND he was waiting for him to
come out
AND kick him.
THAT'S about the only time
A MAN would kick his dog;
AND hope this dogs master
CAME back pretty soon
AND had been to the butcher shop,
AND brought him q nice bone
AND made him happy,
BECAUSE he was an honest looking
little dog.
AND sure liked him.
