He says that the city should em ploy a large and savage person to drive around town, with a driver. Every time anyone "cuts in" or otherwise misbehaves, he is to leap out and lick the tar out of the offender. This is a great Idea; but I can't think of anyone who could properly fill the bill except Gene Tunney; and he gets per licking.

On the whole, it would seem cheaper to hire some one to shoot them Instead. However, it's all right with me whatever they do with boors who cut in Just so it hurts enough. A- J. A. iron.
