A motor by any other name would smell as sweet. Keep your eye on the road, lest you get the road on your eye. A spark-plug that can spark and won't spark ought to be plugged. Never judge the modesty of a chauf- feur by his failure to blow his horn. Be careful of your lights. Many an unlighted car has lit finally in a ditch. In speeding over the highways of Bos- ton, stop, look, and listen for trains of thought. Do not try conclusions with a bound: ing trolley. In the last analysis there but one. One may scold a horse for balking, but only a foolish motorist would blow up his car for the same reason. In the matter of carbon deposits even the most extravagant motorist finds it difficult to overdraw his account. In that fabled race between the hare and the tortoise there is reason to sus- pect that the winner was a motor that had turned turtle. The difference between “taxis” and “taxes” is only a matter of one little letter, In the end experience teaches that they come to about the same thing. If motoring becomes our national sport, as we sometimes believe it is to be, perhaps for a national flower it would be appropriate to adopt the car- nation. It is a strong tire that, with the ex- ample set it by joy-riders, can resist all temptation to indulge in a little “ blow- out” on its own kook now and then. In striking your bargain with the rural police on your way out, remember that it is a poor constable who cannot be worked both ways, In speeding over the country roads greet courtesy always with courtesy. Many a chauffeur who has ignored the simple thank-you-marms of the rural districts has ended by going up in the air. Avoid undue pride in your car, even if it has beautiful yellow wheels and a scarlet body; lest, when you come to try to sell it, you find that you are perma- nently stuck on it.—Harper's Weekly.
