I have often wondered Just what differentiates the city slicker from the Main Street yokel. I have about concluded that tucking a handker chief up the shirt cuff makes a city slicker. The Main Street yokel Is merely the fellow who conies to thp city, begins drinking a cup of afternoon tea and goes down the long trail that leads to a pair of spats and a walking stick. of the number of saloons before pro hibition. There Is a young Chinese In China town who makes a living as a guld« for tourists. He wears a monocle and a wrist watch and has a decldedlj British accent. Chinatown, by th« way, has suffered in patronage aa 8 refcult of the recent tong wars. Sev eral merchants closed their shops. The New York kitchenette is disap The big towns are bigger lilclt And before he knows It he is a cos mopolite. Recently a Kuropean cus toms officer asked me: "What have you to declare?" I was tempted to reply: "I declare there are more booba In Paris than in Plattsburg, Mo. And that Paris in the bigger hick town of the two." 1 eonld substitute New York for Parts. Or Chicago. Or a half dozen other world centers. Ttfoiiaands live by their evils In these centers In n manner that would not be tolerated n the so-called yokel burgs. In my callow youth I used to reg ister at hotels from the nearest city to my home town. I wss half ashamed of the Idea of being mis taken tor a country hoy. Now I live In New York and wherever I go I rsgiater from Plattsburg, Mo. I don't dislike being mistaken for a New Yorker but I prefer to fly under true colors. •I was recently rather Impressed at a small gathering by a census of all In the room. Ten of eleven came from lowna of leas than 6.000 Inhabitants. The eleventh came from the big city >f Ixindon. He was the butler. It was discovered recently that 10 ea rooms In one block were blind Igers. All of them were run by rnmen. Prohibition official^ say the lumber of blind tigers Is far In excess Oesrlnr.

C., retired United Btates naval officer, has a bionze plaque and hie daugh ter a jewel case because of a ‘‘no parking'’ sign encountered at Tor que!.

Tired and hungry, Captain Edie pulled tip at his hotel after a 1*0 mile drive through the rain over nuiddv roads from Fontainebleau.

Edie insisted he must park and eat. In order to do so he finally entered his car, a Packard etght tour ing car in the show. The American built automobile was drawn up in a long row of bwNitifully-groomed and polished French, British, Spanish and Italian cars, travel stained as It was. Members of the Judges’ committee examined all the cars carefully, listened to the motors run, watched the contestants parade them past and after a half hour of deliberation called out the number “tente-neuf,” Captain Edle’s number.

Traffic Changes Reflect in Wants -T , ^ Owners Demanding ’New Fea tures in Cars to Meet Condi tions Find Them in Moon. ✓ - "Many people," state* Carl Chang* strom of the Changstrom Motors company, local distributors for tha Moon, "hesitate about buying an au tomobile or learning to drive because of Ihe changing traffic conditions. Traffic is constantly becoming more crowded and consequently through necessity it is being speeded up con siderably. "I believe that no one need hesi tate to buy on this account, however. The buyer of today want* a car capa ble of meeting these traffic condition*. He wants quick deceleration a* well as quick acceleration. And every au tomobile owner wants a car thal steers nicely in traffic. "The many thousands of miles ot hard, fast roads tempt you more and more to set your speedometer at 5D miles, hour after hour. A motor with the old tvpe of lubrication will not suffice. It will not stand the racket. The same is true of the old type ol brakes. They were not safe enough for modern traffic. Balloon tires are now here. But with them we need a new type ^f steering gear—for steadi ness and ease of turning. Moon’s new patented steeling gear enablea a slight gill to handle the new Moon as easily as a full grown man. "The new Duco finish requires lit tle attention. Moon's four-wheel hy draulic brake* permit extremely iapid deceleration. The Moon pressure-^ lubrication system stops undue wear at high speeds. And the balloon tires are another improvement."
