there's quite difference between camel and
streetcar. The streetcar, for example, does
MT eat peanuts and the camel, on the other
hand, doesn't have slot machine for nickes
up in front Perhaps Id better describe just
what camel does look like. 1t has four legs,
two humps and goatee. have an uncle who
also answers this description: the only differ
ence is, he has only two legs and won't kneel
in sandstorm The Arab and his camel
are inseparable. It's been said that an
Arab would give up his wife rather than
give up his camel. Personally l haven't
got a camel, but l think it's great idea.
Camels would thrive in our climate and,
nasmuch as they multiply rapidly, they would
quickly help to solve our transportation prob
lem. Of course, they don't multiply as rapidly
as guinea pigs, but then who does? The up
keep of camel is negligible - all he eats is
tree tops and sand His clothing requirements
are extremely modest. In the summer he
runs naked in the winter, if the snow is
heavy you might have to buy him camel's-
hair coat. Unfortunately, the camel despite
his many fine qualities as desert taxi, is
blue-nosed fanatic. He goes for eight days
without drink and it's questionable whether
the average American would want to associ-
ate with anyone as dull as that,
This Side Up, Please
IF YOU are lucky enough to get dinner
invitation and the dinner is being thrown in
neighboring village, you might try scheme
that have been using recently with consid-
cradle success The day before the dinner,
have someone in your family wrap you up
securely in heavy manila paper, cart you to
the post Office and ship you off parcel post
to your host. Be sure they put enough stamps
on your carcass to insure your arrival. Once
when was being shipped to dinner engage
ment, my family understamped me and not
only missed the dinner but spent two weeks
trussed up in cubbyhole at the dead-letter
Office.
One sure way to get free ride is to dis
guise yourself as woman or, even better,
as a young girl. Just tog yourself out IN
silk stockings, high-heeled shoes, peekaboo
waist, blond wig and some nail polish, and
you'll be surprised how many pickups you'll
get. Try to select busy intersection. wait
for car with lone occupant - preferably
a fat man with glasses. As his car draws near,
roll your eyes violently and wiggle your hips
just trife 1t will astonish you to see how
susceptible the average man is to a maiden's
wiles. Don't. under any circumstances, allow
yourself to be picked up by gent in an open
car. Open-car drivers are usually college STU
dents, full of the joy of life, and in the ensu-
ing struggle, your blond wig might fall off,
embarrassing both of you no end.
All these methods failing, there is still
way of getting around. I'll admit it's little
old-fashioned and you may not even remem-
Der it. It's called walking It's not hard to do
you just put both feet together, raise the
right foot and bring it forward about one

Now then let us look around and see what
can possibly take the place otthe automobile
The first thing that comes to my mind is

doesn't have to be creased and, what is more
important, doesn't have to have air blown
into his shoes every few days He is content
with daily apple. few wild oats and an
occasional pat on the rump And, after all,
for practical purposes there isn't much differ
ence between horse and an auto. However,
if you're going to the beach, | wouldn't ad-

If YOU are one of the lucky ones who live
in the cold country, you're sitting pretty All
you need is sled, eight Eskimo dogs and
reasonable amount of snow. Unfortunately.
| live in Hollywood where snow falls only in
the studios and is conhdentially, cornf1akes
or oatmeal Doused with cream and sugar,
these are delicious cereals - they give bound
less energy and are excellent substitutes for
snow, but it would cost fortune to sprinkle
all the highways in California with breakfast
food and l don't think the taxpayers are in
any mood for this sort of hanky-panky
When the rainy season arrives - and at
this point want to say that our rainy season
isn't any worse than the monsoon season in
Burma - when the rainy season arrives and
the cutters are swollen with dew, if you are
lucky enough to have an outboard motor left
over from your summer at the lake, you can
get yourself few weeks of cheap transporta-
ton by hitching the motor to washtub or an
unoccupied sofa.
The Chinese must be laughing up their
sleeves at us and our gas problem. The
wise Orientals, ever inscrutable, saw this
coming centuries ago and prepared for it
by quickly inventing the ricksha. For
those of you who don't read the National
Geographic, might explain that ricksha is a
blown-up baby buggy with horse shafts and
no horse. 1t is pulled by Chinese coolie,
logged out in slacks, bedroom slippers and
beret 1t is surprisingly pleasant way to
travel and quite inexpensive, You see,
ricksha puller in good condition will get about
eight miles - or eight Japs - to rice pud
ding.
Consider the Pogo Stick
! HERE are still many other ways of getting
around. One is the pogo stick. This blunt in
strument. once regarded as toy and used
condescendingly at fashionable watering
places, has now taken its rightful place on the
highways. Veteran pogo fanciers say it is far
more practical than kangaroo riding, sport
that is quite popular in Australia. Neverthe-
less, it is not perfect vehicle - even its
friends concede that it has its shortcomings
