GOOD THING WALL WAS THERE

B. J.' Jarrette can drive a 'motor car alright, alright, so long as he has a straight road and no stops. Otherwise he is not always a howling success at the wheel. With his wife he drove down town Tuesday evening and turned up Washington street at a lively gait, but no motor cops were in sight and this didn’t matter. He intended to stop Ln front of his store, and he did so, right smack up against the front* the brakes not being applied early enough to stop at the curb. The front of his new Oakland was damaged somewhat and the display platform on the walk in front of one window of the store was badly racked, but neither the occupants nor the brick walls of the store front was seriously injured by the compact.
