Ode to a Straw Hat

It won't be long before the day will come for us to put away our faded straw that served us well. l hate to hear that mournful bell that soon will toll for us to shake our summer lid, it's out of date. And in some cast off cracker bag, we'll stow the hat where the cobwebs sag. So long, old top, your race is run, you've hid my pate from sizzl- ing sun, and silvery moons and misty fogs; and like the rest of my summer togs you'll gather the dust week by week where the rats and mice play hide and seek. When the air is full of sleet, and snow and slush cling to my feet and the icy blast from the northern pole whistle about and I have no coal and the furnace fire goes on the blink and icicles form in the kitchen sink, I'll remember you and the times we had when life was scpf; and my heart was glad and the birds were chirping in the trees, and the days were warm and even the fleas, on Towser's back, were full of glee: those were the days, my friend, for me. Good bye, old pal, farewell dear heart, the best of friends must sometimes part. When I think of you my bosom heaves may you rest in peace beneath the eyes.

1911----1g1i

Tn July, 1911, the Bristol Press cnided New Britain at only having 1SS automobiles registered in the city, whereas the Bell City sported 1e7. Then as now, Bristol was smaller city and 1t prided itself upon its greater automobile ownership compared to its population.
 The situation is different today. There are at least half as many au- tomobiles in New Britain as there are families and the same ratio ex- tends to virtually all the smaller cities; only in the larger cities; where the ownership of auto mobiles is curtailed by the inability of many persons to find room for them, is the ratio smaller. There are fewer automobiles per population in New York city than there are in New Britain or Bristol.
 The figures in 1911 for New Brit ain and Bristol look naive today. At that time only half dozen news paper reporters in the whole coun- try s'came to work" in automobiles; nowadays a large proportion of our go-getters joyride to and from work every day. At that time only the outstanding wealthy owned machines and the remainder of the population made business prosper for the street railway concerns and the railroads in committing.
 Nowadays the auto has not only revolutionized the lives of the popu' Jation, but has proved a Waterloo for the transportation concerns. This situation is not yet stabilized.
 In 1911 good roads as we haV' them today were scarcely known They were not deemed necessar! and the few autoists who "advocat ed" smoother highways were regard ed as cranks who wanted the state t' pay for something for their exclusive benefit. Farmers got about in rigs and were loud in their protestahon against paying extra taxes so tha smooth highways for bloated GU slickers could be built
 But today-what a change i viewpoints. The farmers have be come inveterate auto owners and ar among the most vociferous advocate of good smooth roads.

The following morning the mother told him terrible dream she had, and how she saw him carried from high ladder. Dickie was astonish- ed.
 What made you dream that, mother?"
