The mag-t istrate, after much cogitation, ruled that a bicycle is not a vehicle' because it has no axle, and released the offender.

IF A BICYCLE isn't a vehicle, what is it? The big, new dictionary 'says: "A two-wheeled vehicle." An older, word book says: "A vehicular machine." Now, who's right? Anyway, the bicycle started out in the nineteenth century as a "dandy horse." The feet had to touch the ground to propel it. Pedals slipped up on the back about 1840, and then got around to the front wheel in 1868. From then on the bicycle pedaled itself into popularity. WELL, WHATEVER a bicycle is, you can do a lot of free-wheeling on it. But it's also a pretty temperamental contraption, especially if you're not onto its tricks.

A young chap took his new, bright-red birthday bicycle out on the street one day to learn to ride it. Daddy went along to help. Junior made a few wobbly attempts. Finally he started to go pretty well.

Daddy picked jip the pieces kind of disgusted-like and said: "Here, I'll show you how to ride the thing." Daddy has very long legs" and a thin spot on the top of his head, and very bravely, he mounted the bicycle. But the bicycle wasn't very cooperative, because it immediately began to zig-zag like crazy Well, I won't tell you what happened to Daddy Maybe he called it something worse than a vehicle.

MAYBE IT is a vehicle and maybe it isn't, but it gets you there if you know how to handle it I'm thinking now how much life is like a bicycle after a lot of spills you become pretty proficient Then after a while you say; "Look, Ma I'm riding without holding on." Sometimes I think the whole wide world is riding along without holding onto anything No God no ideals I shudder to think of the results. Hunt-King Mrs. Alma M.

Dorothy Dix Keep Young, Don't Worry About Age DEAR MISS DIX: Will you please tell me some of the characte ristics that make adults seam youthful? Some people seem old, although they are still young enough in years. We all wish to remain young. How can we do it? R. A.

E. ANSWER: Dorothy Dix The best way to remain young is not to worry over growing old. Lots of women acquire w-rinkles trying to avoid them and in their efforts to keep a girlish figure they starve themselves into withered beldames, and look twenty years older than their age instead of ten years younger. To a certain extent we can keep our bodies youngish by taking care of them and eating and sleeping and working and playing right, but we only befool ourselves when we think that we can attain a synthetic youth by the use of cosmetics. Indeed, nothing so emphasizes age as for it to ape youth.

An elderly woman never looks so old and haggard as when she is decked out in granddaughter's clothes. She never seems so senile as when she ogles men young enough to be her grandsons and talks about her "boy friends." Many a woman, whose age would be of no interest to any one except herself if she dressed appropriately and conducted herself with dignity, is laughed at as a ridiculous old monkey because she tries so hard to be a mere girl. So, if you want to keep young, keep your sympathies alive. Make the joys and sorrows of every one about you your own. Be kind.

Be tender. Keep the heart of a little child. The women whom everybody loves are ageless and beautiful. I ir fv Ceremony In Hotel Mrs. I.
