Come on. get out of that ice wagon ano rn beat the daylights out of tou." At the theatre you'll often see i strange man worlng on my shoul der with all BtoTs out. Out walking a dog before breakfast today occurred an Incident inspiring this wall. I noticed a fetching pair af gloves in a window and dropped in to ask the price. The clerk, lndlf lerent about the gloves, was Intent en selling me something new In a union suit, one with a yard-long rip per dlng'.is. I explained I was & con firmed two piece underwear man. But he was insistent snd I suddenly real ised he was sloshed to the ears. You eould chin yourself on the bourban ejoma.

They're out to kill. They're worse than any other four months of the year, automobile-acci-cWntly speaking;. They're 40 percent worse, for example, than January, February, March and April. The thing that amazes me about this whole automobile business is that we know so much about it, and do so little to stop it. 1 have been reading some lifrurea gathered by The Travelers Insurance Company, and they foresee 15,000 deaths and 400,000 injuries for (he last four months of this year. Starting Labor Day, we'll begin the big carnage. In 1934, there were 14,094 automo bile accident deaths in the last four months, against 10,088 in the first four months, and 11,818 in the second four. Why is practically this same ratio true every year? because darkness arrives earlier every evening, because the streets are wetter and slicker, be cause we still have summer driving habits, and because we ate in more of a holiday spirit. What to do about it? Be 40 percent more careful in the months that are KNOWN to be 40 percent more dan gerous. Cooperate with the police in their safety efforts. When you get a ticket, take your medicine, don't try to get it fixed. Be scared instead of eorksure when you drive a car in September. October, November and December.

He staggered up the gangplank at the 2 a, m. sail ing, in high glow and top hat, even ing dress, and they trundled him off at Havre In a litter, feet up, with the horrors. The second night out h knocked at my cabin around dawn to know If I had seen hla armadillo. That was a tip-off to slam the door In his face. But swimming out of a fog of aleep plus a natural aappiness, I piloted him to his bunk and com forted him until he dod. Nightly and a time or two dally the rest of the voyage he was In my hair to, help find hi armadillo, t sailed for rest and quiet ana wound up peering un der things with him fcr the phantasy of a delirium. He was a ccngresBmun and not long ago In a It iter he won dered If I remembered "our big burt INSURED SAVINGS! cn the Atlantic." My only tlpte, out side of table water, had been mint So long have T been a magnet for gentlemen In their cups that I can gauge to a split second the time they will tune up for a cry or swing from the ankle. They never leave me in good humor with protestation of undying friendship aa they do others. Til ere was a night at a banquet In the old Holland House I played good Samaritan and taxlcabbed a limp atew to hla home In the East 00's. At his doorway there blew up the inevitable atorm which I couldn't calm. The taxi driver Joined him in harangue and I found he was also cock-eyed. They were ready to lay me out like a rug when a passing policeman pre vented possible mayhem. I consid ered It a break the cop wasn't plas tered too. T was stuck for a (2 tariff and the cab shot away with my best top coat and an Initialed silk muffler.
