IF! If you can climb a hill when all about you The cars are coughing like a kid with croup; If you can hit a mud road deep with puddles And sail across it like an ocean sloop, Or wear a treadless tyre and not grow weary And blow it out in some deserted place, Or hit upon six cylinders entirely When hail and snow and rain beat on your face; And yet can make a mile in sixty seconds, And yet not make the love for speed your aim; Then throttle down to half a mile an hour And never stall to smirch my name with shame; If you can last five years and not resemble A pile of junk upon some ashman's heap; If you can suffer lack of fuel and water And still ride on without a single peep; If you can promise me you have these virtues And with them all you cost a modest fee, Yours is this chugging world and all that’s in it — And what is more you are the car tax ME,

DRUNKS? j The Court of Appeal in London gave ! an interesting decision recently on the subject of drunkenness. The jury in the Court below had stated that they were agreed that the defendant was guilty of being incapable of driving a motor-car, and that his condition in that respect had been brought about by alcohol, but that “he was not drunk to the extent which we should call a drunken ; man." i The Lord Chief Justice, in giving | judgment, said that no ingenuity could ge rid of the words “he was not drunk” from the statement made by the jury. That was a verdict of “not guilty.” Whether the word “drunk” in Section 40 (1) of the Criminal Justice Act, 1925, under which the defendant was indicted, ought in the public interest to be defined, and whether that definition ought to be, for instance, such a phrase as “in a condition in which a person is unable to drive a motor-car by reason of the quantity of alcohol which he has consumed,” were matters well worthy of consideration.
