was hurrying somewhere and some

pulling up to the door there with me
and that I'd just help fill mahogany

wrapping paper slip with my last name
written on it in pencil stuck on the
front of one of the doors there.
Then maybe somebody working on
this safety campaign would come down
here and open the door and pull out
the wooden slab with the squeaky
rollers and take look and say-"Well,
this is the end OF the trail for the
reckless drivers" No, think won't

who was hurying somewhere. They
had put him in the mahogany box.
What did they do then? There's a
long hose lying over there-and a
bucket of sand near 1t. Water won't
always wash away red spots on the
concrete floor.
There's something leaning up
against the wall there-over near
the bucket. It's hard to see just
what it is. Oh, yes, I remember. It
was there the other day, too. Three
of those wooden slabs with rollers
on them. I remember there was a
stain on one of them that even the
sand wouldn't take off.
And over in a corner-you can't
see them now-it's too Sark-but
over in the corner there's pile Of
boxes, brown, implanted wooden
boxes. They brought those here from
Lorton. The prisoners made them.
Occasionally they take one of the
boxes off the pile. That's when the
fellow who was hurrying somewhere
hasn't got any relatives or friends
or anybody who cares what happens
to him. He has to be buried in
something. There are two old saw
horses, too. Just like those you used
to see around any old carpenter
shop. They would put one of the
brown, implanted wooden boxes up
on the sawhorses before they put
the poor fellow in it.
Out Over the Water.
Gosh. I hate to think of it. Let
me look ACROSS the water out there
again. Of across there to where I
can see automobiles moving. You
can see their headlights as they move
along and they look just like lightning
bugs as they head back toward town
| from Hams Point.
Automobiles. Automobiles. But
that's what sends people here. That's
what fills the big mahogany box.
Maybe an hour passes after the poor
fellow who was hurrying somewhere
was put in the mahogany box Maybe
it'll be IL hours. But they take him
out again. When you open the door
| you can feel the cool air, It's 40
degrees in there. You can hear the
rollers squeak when they pull the
wooden slab out. Then there isn't
any sound but slow footballs on
concrete-then on wood as the men
carrying the slab walk onto en- ele-
vator.
It's an old elevator. This whole
place is old. It's one of the eldest
buildings I've ever been in. It's like
an old house where everybody died
years ago and it doesn't seem right
to be in it. And the old elevator
well, it's typical. They get aboard
and they lay down the wooden slab

RY F. A. ALLEN,

In suggesting to you such an object
as an inefficient car, perhaps the first
picture that flashes in your mind Is
that of the type known as the col
legiate flivver. Many seem to take
pride in the ailments of their car-the
motor is just about to fall through,
leaks in the radiator are patched with
gum, the tires are worn to the threads,
the engine in motion sounds like
cement-mixer.
But" he says, shell do close to
so. and you will have to admit that
that is pretty good for this bus"
The next time you hear one of these
braggarts, ask him in an informal way
how his brakes are The frequent
Smart-Alec answer will be, Hobo, I
depend mostly on prayer, good luck
and my skill on getting me by'-then
he looks for some wood on which to
knock. I believe that such a person
should not be given the right to put
this vehicle on the highway. Why
cannot we have periodical tests for
equipment? If a man cannot keep
up the repairs on his own car, then
1t is logical to suppose that he will
not be able to repair your car or the
personal injury he inflcts on you
either. What chance has the man
who does take a sincere interest in
the equipment of his car?
We should pay particular attention
to- the braking equipment on a car.
Did you ever stop to think how slightly
you really value your life at times?
Your car is actually stopped by the
pressure of the brake lining on the
drums of the car, the last operation
after the contact has proceeded along
a few connections from the pedal. At
each of these points breakdown is
physically possible. This may result
from the wear or from defect in the
equipment, for the best of cars are
still man-made. Do you ever have
this in mind and drop in on your ga
rage man for check-up?
Make sure at all times that the lin
ing of your brakes is in good repair
and when it wears out. lose no time in
getting it replaced. OF course, you can
always put it off, and too many are
doing that. For few, tomorrow never
comes, for instead of paying a dollar
or two to have their brakes checked
they pay down payment of SIS as a
towing charge while the garage man
hoists up the wreck resulting from poor
braking. This SIS is usually just drop
in the bucket for the charges that are
to follow if the car is worth repairing.
Suppose that you are driving on a
downtown street and some pedestrian
or little child steps in front of your
car, Here is time when quick stops
count. Fortunate is the man who is
taking constant care of his car. Pity
the poor kiddie who happens to dart
in front of the other fellows car
chances are he will be manned for life
unless the driver Is quick enough to
turn. But where does he turn? Let
us be optimistic and hope that rather
than turning into parked car or some
other obstruction he turns into a
sunny green meadoW-and there are
no meadows on downtown F street.
How about a little examination of
the old buggys equipment, especially
the brakes?
