A FAD WITHOUT MEANING

Here is what one newspaper has
to say about that piece of fur you
see hanging on so many automobiles:
MASS psychology is what causes
millions of autoists to hang an ami
NAL tail, or any old piece of fur, on
the front or back of their auto-as
they are doing now. The present
Misunderstanding an autoist who
had just parked-asked the man
why he had this piece of fur on his
machine. The man replied: 4 don't
know
"Of course he doesn't know. He
is simply doing it because he sees
others doing without stopping to
think. It's like the old popular
song; She done it without thinking
the things she done to me- Yes,
they do it without thinking'-the
things they do, If they ever stop
ped to think little, they wouldn't
do it."
