Tail Lights
BY sWEDE SWANSON

The national park service sends
out its annual plea to motorists to
leave the wild flowers alone.
There's little kleptomania in the
best of us, say the alienists, and this,
coupled with our innate love of ma
ture, should make things seem tough
for the indefensive flowers in our
national and other forests.
But little self-control, little
forethought, and our worse selves
can easily be subdued,
Thousands of tourists in our ma
tional parks have been picking
flowers to such an extent that the
loss has become a matter of deep
concern to the government officials.
True, the pickers are innocent ma
ture lovers, intending to embellish
their motor cars or their rooms, or
to be refreshed by the fragrance Of
the plants.
It is a sweet thought. But how
much sweeter would it be to leave
the flowers where they can continue
to grow and fill the air with their
aroma rather than subject them TO
a short-lived and selfish pleasure.
Wild flowers die too soon. anyway
Tt is bad business to be guided by
other motorists experience. Cars
are very different in their construc-
ton and detail, and we know that
the little things are the ones that
make the big difference.
Recently a motorist had a new
timing chain installed on his car
and felt that he was through with
chain troubles for some time to
come. 1t developed that he got this
idea from a friend whose car is
equipped with an automatic take
up device which compeasates for the
stretching of the chain.
After driving q thousand miles
with the new chain he was surprised
to find that the spark timing be-
came retarded as a result of the
chain wearing down a little stretch
