Andy's Reflections
tCOntriDlltcd)

A salesman wijh a large Nocabu- lary had us somewhat puzzled with his explanation why so many trade in the tlivvcr after riding in q bigger car until a chap beside us mnr- murcd: In other words. after you've had q good IL cent cigar you'U never go back 10 the nickel ones"
 Our idea Of a puzzled man is q pedestrian trudsing WeariIy along and wondering what all the auto isls have against him.
 one state reports q political can didate who finally got into office and actually kept his promise about doing something for the pedestrian. He had the city order three new amhulances.
 We may be doubtful about who has the right of way as VIC try 10 beat the other fellow 10 it," says q speaker. But it's the repair man who gets the benefit of the doubt.
 A dictionary helps. But without consulting one We all know that a traffic jam is something in which the novice feels as out Of place as a rear scat driver does in 2 taxi cab.
 Someone asks what has become of the sweet young thing who once sat upon a stiff backed chair and barely reached the piano pedals. She has now grown mp 10 lounge behind the wheel but still has some difficulty in reaching tho brake pedals.
 If the chap Of long ago who re- ~rctted he had but one life 10 give 10 his country were alive today he'd probably regret that he had but one engine in the bus in which 10 try 10 get the speed out Of.
 If the auto advertisements CODY the talkic's You sec as well as hear" you1l know that they are probably referring to the miss in tho motor.
 Most any ono Of the new cars will give us 20 miles 10 the gallon. But what this hilarious world needs is one that will travel or miles after we've run out Of gas and au- tomaticalIy stop in front of filling station.
 It's just as We thought. The chap who said most accidents arc caused by defective material is related 10 the lad who says we can remedy this simply by tightening up on the nut behind the steering wheel.

 bean Swift Professor Amos Pctlngill owned the Omar vase.
 To most Of the people in the suburban vicinity of his home if was just an odd appearing bronze vase about six and q half inches in height with dull blue enamel 'whirlgigs" set into it. Perhaps a few Of the natives be licvcd it was, as the professor said, worth around S12,0o0. Most of them did not believe il.
 The professor would tell you-- and perhaps he was right-that this vase was given to Omar Khayyam hy his schoolboy friend, Nizam Ill MufIi. when the latter became Nizicr 10 the Shah of Persia.
 Next 10 his daughter. Lucy. the professor cherished the vase.
 Often inc vase was loaned to cX- hibits. Often il had been photo graphed and Illustrations used in various publications.
 Professor Pcttingill's study was q long room. not too well lighted. The professor specialized in the Oriental and Byzantine. The Omar vase had the position Of honor, in the center of the wide Inantcl over the fireplace.

 Book cases ran around three sides of the room save for spaces for win dovq. These cases were seven feet high. The tops held hundred or more articles that the professor had collected, such as ancient copper mirrors, Chinese iadr Persian knives, vases Of ali materials and sizes-cverythiug being at l"ast five g centuries old,
 One day the Reverend Coleman dropped in to sec inc professor. AS they sat on the porch a young lady nouaccd down the walk. straW suit rsse in hand. She slammed the gate uncommonly hard. shot the profes- sor a disdaintul look and stood al The curb.

 Don't you worry over that I'm not planning on taking up with any town sheik-not with a big boy like Dave Holden running around loose.
 But Dave worried, just the same and by the second term he knew he had occasion for it. Sylvia's talk had turned from crops and coun- try picnics and all things of the

 But Dave had not counted on a woman's will--and what comes of it. At eighteen Sylvia, having se- cured her teachers certificate, ap- piled for and was accepted by a town school some distance from her home. She was all enthusiasm and excitement over her plunge in- to the great, self-supporting world.
 Dave may have shared her ex- citement, but not her enthusiasm. He told her so.
 Why, Dave Holden, I'm sur prised at you!" Sylvia retorted. T thought you would be glad to see me get a chance"

Dave Holden chose his home stead high up the foothill valley not only for the shelter of sur rounding hills and proximity to groves of spruce and lodge-pole pines. He had another reason for retreating So far from civilization. That reason was Sylvia Palmer.
 Dave and Sylvia had been pals together down the plains where both were born. They had attend ed the same school, the same pie mics. dances. country concerts.
 Many a starry night, with Sylvia at his side, Dave had driven the prairie trails, none to eager to reach their destination And Sylvia, too. seemed quite content to daily on the way.
 It was true there never had been any formal engagements between them. It hardly seemed necessary. They had gone together" so long that some time, Dave supposed, when he was in a position to offer her a home, he would tell her so, and Sylvia would say: All right, Fave. Whenever you are ready y Then she would turn her tempting
