effort of the manufacturers to
meet the demand.
It Is possible to cut down tho
clearance on some of the road
ster models andn other types of
car where a sacrifice Is made for
the sake of racy appearance. It
Is on these cars that the extra
smnll wheel Is found. These Jit tie
wheels with their large, fat tires
give a sporty appearance that de
lights the heart of the young man
or girl who likes to lower the top

There Is a special field for this
type or car and It will always be
popular with the younger motorists.

Mike Shannon, veteran cowboy
guide. It Is hard to say which class
gets the most enjoyment out of
tho "scenic seoon," the stage
hands, thrilled by the Hockles, or
the tourists themselves.
There employes come from nil
parts of the United States. The
ranges of Texas, New Mexico. Ari
zona, Wyoming and Montana send
cowboys for guides. There arc
the regular "hashers'' that follow
the "dudes" north In the summer
from Florida and California, and
universities send school teachers
and students, who make up tho
staff of workers In the hotels and
chalet camps.
As the season goes on, they alt
become one big family. There aro
horseback rides over mountain
trails, campflro suppers, that run
far Into the night and dancing.
Out of this come many love

OSTRICH VIES WITH CAR

THEIR EYES
BERLIN. Berlin traffic police
rubbed their eyes the other Jay
when among the stream of vehicles
there appeared a little cart drawn
by an ostrich.
No street car bells or taxi hoots
seemed to disturb tho bird, which
docilely obeyed the gulrinng reins
held by his owner, an Italian who
runs an ostrich fcirm tn Cnrdlnla.
Hta idea ta that ostrichs chould be
used as draught animals in more
northern latitudes.
This particular ostrich seems 'o
be hardened to the continual win
try weather, although he iv?ars a
woolen muffler around his neck
and woolen boso on hlc shanks.
Mrs. Brown My husband is one
of tht moat generous men.
Mrs. Hobbs That's nice.
"Yes; I gave him a box ot cigars
for his birthday, and he's given
them all away to his friends. He
hasn't smoked a single one him
