TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR THE
MOTORISTS

/. Look out for children. You can
never tell what they'll do, and
you're always in wrong if you hit
one.
2. Don't pass standing trolley car.
Some day the jury may call it
manslaughter.
3. Don't speed around corners for
it's straight route to the hospi-
tai.
4. Drive on the right side of the
road; it's the only safe side.
5. The fact that you had the right
of way won't bring anybody back
to life-least of all yourself.
Use discretion.
6. Do not stop without giving warn
ing. The other fellow is no mind
reader.
7. Do not back up without looking
to the rear.
s. Do not park or pass on curve or
hill. There's plenty of straight
road.
8. Slow down when approaching a
crossed; it is nearly as danger
Gus as a railroad crossing.
10. Be courteous to other drivers
and traffic officers. Courtesy pre-
vents accidents.

A SEASONABLE WHEEZE
By Robert Davidson

BY Robert Davidson
Well, sisters and brothers
And fathers and mothers
And all of you others,
December is here.
And this is the reason
I'm putting this wheeze on
Concerning the season
Of holiday cheer.
Now hush up your crying
And cut out your signing,
And start in to buying
The regular junk.
No need to start thinking
Of balances shrinking,
For, if you're not sinking,
You're already sunk.
So get the old list out
And add those who missed out
Last year with a fist out
For some of your cash.
Come on in a hurry
And join the grand furry.
Let creditors worry
About the big crash.
Pipe down on your rawlings
About your spent savings,
AS long as your cravings
Are all satisfied;
But, really, I fear it,
If this is the spirit
Of giving--or near it
Then, somebody lied F!
