The
Rambler
An OId-Timer
Behind the Wheel
By JACK JONAS

Somebody asked how come
Washington cab drivers find
so much to talk about.
Well, listen to Matthew
Jones, on a short spin from
the Armory to downtown
Washington:
81 been driving so long I
don't rem e m Der when I
started.
II remember that first hack,
though. 1t was a 1912 Buick.
You could hear me coming
three blocks before you saw
me.
THE speed limit was IL
miles an hour when T started.
l took the examination for my
license in the Old District
Building, on the second floor.
"They asked a lot of trick
questions in those days. One
was, What would you do if
you ran out of gasp Every
body knows the answer to
that one. I put down Stop
Then they asked What
would you do if your brakes
failed?' I put down Head for
the nearest curb and pray
II got my license, but after
the exam was over, I said I
wouldn't go through it again
for anything. My knees were
shaking.
after I got rid of the
Buick, l got me a 1915 Chand-
Ter, secondhand. Drove it all
through the first World War.
You could make real money
then-$40 or $50 a day. I
cruised around the Willard
most of the time.
Then l got me a 1918
Chandler, secondhand again.
I had an Auburn after that.
"I'vE DRIVEN about every
thing, guess. Everything ex-
cept a Stanley Steamer. Some
of the fellows had Stanley
Steamers, and they wanted
me to get one. I was scared of
'em. Afraid they might blow
up in my face.
Had this car here about
five years now. Only got about
$4,000 miles on her. My arth-
ritis has been bothering me
bad the past eight or 10 years,
and I don't drive so much any
more.
Look at those kids there
jumping out into the street.
You got to watch out for kids
nowadays, and not only in
traffic.
They don't get discipline
like they used to. When l was
a kid, if I did something bad
in school, I got my knuckles
raped, and if did something
at home I oughtn't do, I got
whaled. They don't do that
much any more.
81 was born right here in
Washington. Went to West
Virginia when l was a kid,
then came back again about
1908 as a young man. Been
here ever since.
"See that l0-Year Safe
Driving sticker on my card?
You don't see many of them.
That's as high as they go, 10
years.
Didn't mean to hit that
bump so hard. Seems like
they're always fixing up the
streets. Slow, too. / asked a
fellow works on one of these
jobs why it took so long to
get a place paved. He said if
they hurried up with 1t they'd
be out of work before long.

Of Flavor Explained
 By local AaiIk Bottser

"The cows had Spring fever!" That is the explanation of Ed Pestregaard, manager of the Ko- diak Creamery, for the off-flavor- ed milk experienced recently by residents who purchased the com pany'S milk. Due to an absence of green grass, the cows on the farm wandered down to the beach and ate kelp, which in turn gave the milk the off-flavor.
 This situation has since been rectified, according to Pestre- gaard. The quality of the milk re- mained the same, according to him. This was borne out by Glen McNesse, Territorial Department of Health Inspector. who has been in town over week, and has

thoroughly inspected the farm and dairy, as well as the milk, for unhealthy conditions. He found these all in excellent condition, ac- cording to the manager Of the Creamery. Pestregaard's state ment follows:
 ''The cows on the dairy farm were turned out for the first time this spring. Finding no green grass they went to the beaches and overate on kelp. The cows are now back in the barn again and we have the same high quality milk as our patrons have enjoyed heretofore"

Usual ly when a person avails himself of the Merrill treatment, his skepti- cism disappears.
 No Cure-All
 We have no cure-aIl for slick, shiny badness" Abbott empha- sizes. If there is still fuzz, that hair follicle of the scalp is still producing hair. Merrill's users have grown hair. We have many reports testifying that after using our home treatment, weak fuzz has developed into healthy mature hair. Proper use of this home treatment may bring about a healthy scalp condition which will help the body to produce new hair. If there is any fuzz at all, a healthy scalp condition may be re- stored, and the hair may grow normally again as nature intend ed" There is one thing Abbott wants to be certain every man and woman knows. If a recession ap- pears at the temple or spot be- gins to show up on the crown of the head, there is something wrong and it should be given immediate attention.
 Free Examination
 In addition to reexamining present clients, the Merrill method of home treatment will be demon strated to others who are interest ed. The examination is very thor ough and highly technical It re- quireS 20 to 30 minutes. The Con- sultant makes no charge for this examination and no appointment is necessary. After examining the person, he is told the required length of treatment and how much it will cost.
