"l!ul I don't want n lot of pow

ll.c. ma,, it did not meet Smith's
ri'ituiremenlH we found It necs
siiry to puss up another muke of
cur. The car had a Stood reputa
tion. Inn iu mid Hum , yo ,.a'

As I fully expelled, the next
tiling to lake Smith's eye wus an
excessively sporty model. In.
iiuestlonahly It was a good lookintr
Joh. and when we lounKcd In its
low seats we experienced nil the
comforts of sitting in a uorch
rocker with one's feet on tile rail
Intf. We could just picture our
selves rolling about town on u
spring: day viewing natures mov
ing pictures with ull Ihe comforts
of a feather bed.
It was rather difficult to Induce
Smith to climb out or thai car. hut
when 1 managed to have a moment
with him alone 1 cast emotions
aside and asked:
"llon't you want n car that oil
can use for traveling?"
. "WlKifs wrong with this?'' he
retorted.
Hilling fifty miles in n reclin
ing position like thut would just
mioul break your back." I suld. "A
racing cur Is for u sport. Vou wuiit
a regulur model where your legs
win in in n nutur.il position.
Smith udnntted that shopping
lor a car was not as simple us it
looked, but wn were getting the
market narrowed down by ellm
inuting impossibilities. It is the
only sane way of selecting the
right car if yon have never owned
one and must depend on common
.', use for a guide.
