Henry says the I automobile is the most convenient things about "courting" he has ever seen, because all the girls like to | ride, especially if you have a nice car and you are a tiice young fellow. Another fine feature of the car is that it is so satisfying that the aver age fellow who has a car doesn't want anything else and prizes his car a bove iwi'H and land. And just to think, all this has happened since 1900, just 27 years since th« first car -colled like a ball j of thunder around the campus of what is now Duke University at the breakneck sp.-ed of IS miles an hour.
