PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

“You ought to cut out riding | round in your upholstered boat; , for thus you’re wasting many a pofind, and many a bone and groat. The coin you blow for gasoline, as o’er the roads you run, might sink a German submarine, or spike a German gun.” My neighbors sometimes hand to me such lectures, j stern and sour, When I’ve been scorching o’er the lea, at forty miles an hour. But nowadays the loyal lad should keep in proper form, to earn the shining silver scad, to keep his strongbox warm, so he can always buy a bond, or help a Red Cross fund, nor have it said that he has pajyned his Sunday cummerbund. And if he would be at his best, and make each motion pay, he has to have his hours of rest, his little slice- of play. When I grow tired of labor’s pangs, I take my four-wheeled car, and scoot some nineteen parasangs, out where the hayseeds are; I rush along, and never stop, through valleys sweet and cool, and sometimes maim a rustic cop, again run down a mule. And when my little spin is done, I homeward jog along, and I feel fit to write a ton of redhot, deathless song. And when I’ve put the car away, and changed the jbusted tire, I then proceed .to , knock the whey from my immortal lyre. Don’t dodge all kinds of play and glee while you pursue the rocks; he is not wise who tries to be a brother to the ox.
