A MOTORIST DREAMS

A motorist slept and dreamed: That cyclists were banned from all main roads. That those in charge of a motor-car for the first time were forced to carry a red flag. This was fixed to the front and rear of the machine. That petrol came down in price to fourpence a gallon.

That horse vehicles were forbiddei tlie streets of all big cities. That some bright- young man in vented a thing about the size of a pen which, when placed on the driver’s seat ol a car at night kept the whole machine nice and warm, even in the coldest weather.

That all second-hand cars had to he overhauled and certified as mechanically sound before they were offered for sale.

That pedestrians were made to carry rear lights. That his car ran for three weeks on two gallons of petrol. That his next-door neighbour came to him and admitted that his machine was rotten on hilis.

That ins wile remained silent during the course or a 20d-mile drive and then complimented him upon his skill at the wheel.

That lie went for a long night drive and that all the other motorists dimmed their headlights as well. That he took his mother-in-law for a drive and was summoned lor obstruction after she had told him to liri.e at 10 miles per hour. Then the motorist woke up to hear his new car being driven at a furious pare through his front gate.
