ONE LITTLE KNOCK
I went into the park without knocking and I am attempting to come out without knocking, but there is one man to whom I would like to whisper a little advice. I refer to the driver of the big automobile who at the same time attempts to perform the work of a guide.
If making up an automobile load of twelve people it is difficult to avoid having at least one crank. And it is equally difficult to prevent this one crank from riding beside the driver. And it is impossible to suppress this crank when the car is three thousand feet up on the mountainside, and thru the influence of the crank the auto driver generally uses one  hand to orate with, leaving but one hand on the wheel.
The auto driver and the crank get along very well under these circumstances, but the ten other people in the car are not happy. They wish the crank to sit still and the driver to shut up. My only knock is against the automobile driver who thinks he is a guide and must talk as well as drive. I noticed whenever the auto driver and the crank were orating to each other the car pursued an uncertain course.
STORY OF THE HAT
When I went to Detroit a month ago to see and hear President Wilson and to be present at the great salesmanship congress, I wore a fine new straw hat. I sat upon the platform beside several distinguished democrats. The president of the United States was only a few feet away. The president and his committee got away from the platform
