IS ADVISING MARY
WllB H6 Not to Drive With

Dear Mary Ann:

Only yesterday you was telling
me you had to 60 to the bank to
withdraw : berries SOS you could
pay the court for passing stop
signal as you were trying to
glimpse another james new coat
which you didn't think was a bar
gain at $4.9S, although you had her
word for it. II you drive along and
once-over the pedestrians on the
sidewalks at the same time you'll
md yourself in bigger mix-up
than the steam shovel that dug it.
self into such a deep hole they had
to take it apart to get 1t out. This
leads me to hand YOU more ADVICE,
Mary, though you never asked for
1t, In the hopes that you'll improve,
II possible.
Every driver should know the fine
points of his gas wagon. II any, and
know what it is capable of doing
and see that 1t does it at the proper
time and place. A buggy that gets
beyond control leaves the driver
looking as foolish as a step-ladder
at . three-alarm fire and about as
useful. When working the clutch,
brake or accelerator, always let one
foot know what the other is doing.
Some bear down heavily on the ac-
celerator when it's the brakes that
needs the exercise. Always remem-
Der that the emergency is OF no
value unless you give it a helping
hand.
Outa respect for your bus always
give another woman driver the
right-of-way. regardless OF what
she's wearing, where she thinks
she's going. or is about to go. II
your guess wasn't correct you at
least have the satisfaction OF know
ing you played safe. II you see
bicyclist going around corners on
two wheels don't try to initiate him
as you're liable to find yourself and
bus wrapped around some unsus-
pecting pole. hydrant or ashcan.
Never rest your vanity case on the
steering wheel and powder your
nose while driving. Some bus may
sideswipe you while you're applying
the facial and when you snaps outa
that fog above the ears which You
are sometimes troubled with you'll
probably be in hospital with the
same nose but with a bigger and
better shine. especially when the
bandages or courtplaster is removed.
Keep your flivver well creased
and you'll find II easier to slip
through traffic. Don't be a brake
idiot. A brake idiot is one who has
a head and brakes but never uses
them until It's too late. Some driv-
ers object to using their head as a
little thinking hands them head
ache. It's better to spend few
minutes taking a few tablets to cure
q headache than to collide with
something and spend the rest of
your life thinking what an awful
pill you were. Never race an en-
CINE to the crossing, no matter how
slow it's travelling, as there are bet
ter places for parking than on
catcher. Landscape may be
beautiful but not if you get scat
tered all over it.
I once knew a bimbo who tried
to save a couple of minutes by
racing a fast freight to the crossing.
The freight got there the same time
he did but didn't stop to argue about
It. This galoot jumped in the nick
Of time. landing on the top Of his
Uranium. thus escaping injury. He
woulda got knocked senseless if he
had any. Anyways he spent the
couple Of minutes he would have
saved IL he won gazing sadly at his
tub which was dragged for longer
distance than Johnny klatka, the
Falcons heavy hitter, can wallop a
pill, muttering, 'Never again. Eat
least not with that bus."D
Reckless drivers should keep in
touch with the family doctor. also a
lawyer In regards to will and
where to find suitable cemetery
plot for final resting place in a
restricted district, but with un-
limited parking.
