abused. School buses are guilty In this respect. I had one to stop in front of me the other morning, on a'curve with a solid line; no signal of any kind was given, and the red flashing light began to work after the bus had stopped and the door was opened. Fortunately I am afraid of just such tricks and I had seen the bus ahead of me. There was no way for my stopping had I not seen the bus earlier, for it pulled out of sight around the curve, and was stopped in the highway when I came around the curve on it. There happened to be a wide lane entrance where the bus stopped, but the driver did not use it.
Had I crashed into that school bus, I would be termed an animal of the lowest order. It would have been my fault, and there is no telling to what extent I would have been prosecuted.
I fear a school bus on the highway just a little more than a rat-, tlesnake.

These games are employment of sissies. The region inhabited by cloven-footed imps hath no fury to compare with that which will soon be issuing from the front yards of many a home on a pleasant summer evening. Football is mild; basketball is sweet-tempered activity; and baseball is “mild as cottage cheese” in comparison to the feuds that can be raised over a game of croquet!
The apparently meek contest of balls-wickets-and-mallets can raise a ruckus and temper like unto politick! Families have been known to sever speaking relations over the innocent little game. ,To guard your summer health: beware of dog-days and croquet l
