VARIETIES OF HOGS.

Many Kinds Are to Be Found Among Automobile Drivers. There are many automobilists who drive slowly as long as |hey are alone on the road, but as soon as you come along to go 'they spurt and swing from side to side, a writer in Collier’s says. If you let them go on and you follow along they slow down until you catch up, then they repeat their silly performances. I generally find it a pleasure when I meet such a hog to keep tooting my horn and see him spurt. Then there is the hog who tears by you at the rate of forty miles an k hour, cut-out wide open, and aa soon as he gets beyond you settles dQwn to 'youfr pace and throws his dust at you. The only thing to do. then is to stop and. look at the scenery. Then there is the hog w'ho tries to see how near he can come to your car without hitting you. This is the most dangerous driver of all. If there is a collision he will claim you did it. He is the fellow who comes toward you and never leaves the center of the road and, to avoid him, you nearly have to climb a tree. Then there is the hog who floods his engine with oil and leaves a trail of smoky, sickening odor for blocks after ire has gone by; —~~—~~—' — An automobile is a great tomfort and of pleasure and can be used without any other person. With saner speed laws and considerable addition to dnd uniformity in the rights-of-the-road provisions and . the vigorous enforcement of such laws traffic will proceed faster, but with more safety to alt than even when it was less congested.
