OVERHEARD IN THE GARAGE.

Jim is the father of the garage—a man
who has been driving motor lorries since
motor lorries were. Mike has quite
recently graduated from driving a pair of
horses to the internal combustion engine.

“You never ought to ’ave left them
’orses, Mike! You belonged to them,
rightly, and they belonged to you ; you
knew what they said and they knew
what you said. If you said to them t
‘whoa! ’ they stopped gradual, not all of*
a second but as nice and steady as you
could wish. Them ’orses, Mike, pretty
near drove that old two ’oss shay for you.
Now you’ve got a 3-ton lorry you reckon
it’s goin’ to drive itself, too, and that’s
where you’re wrong. You puts the
brake on and ses—‘whoa ! ’ and the lorry
stops all of a sudden. The rear wheels
lock and the bit of your Dunlop solid
tyre that’s on the ground gets a ‘ flat ’
on it as if you’d shoved a rasp over
it. Then you wonders why the lorry
bumps and shakes her inside up. It’s
a case of blame the driver, not the
tyres, Mike! ”
