COULD NOT CONVINCE JUDGE

Policeman Going 20 Miles One Way, and Auto 20 the Other Didn’t Make 40 Miles Per Hour. ■ -■* “This man was driving his car in the suburbs 40 miles an hour, your honor,” said the motorcycle policeman. “What have you to say for yourself T” asked the judge sternly. “Your honor, I was traveling 20 miles an hour in one direction when this policeman passed me on his motorcycle going 20 miles an hour in the opposite direction. That’s why it seemed to him I was going 40 miles an hour.” "Ten dollars fine," said the judge.
