m-mSb ITS A LAW— // you cling to the belief that the automobile will never replace the horse, head for Boston, Massachusetts, on your travels. By law, all Boston hotels must supply accommodations for horses as well as for their riders. How about a double room, sir? I . CkU\'liii|ffl A LITTLE LEARNING— On Becoming A Citizen of The United States:. In general, a person can't become a citizen unless he's been lawfully admitted to the United States and intends to make it his permanent residence. The first step toward citizenship is to make a "declaration of intention" at the office of the clerk of any naturalization court. This may be made at any time after arrival in the country. After the declaration of intention, five years must elapse before you can apply for final papers — five continuous years of residence in this country, that is, and six months in the state where application for final papers is made. Everyone who files for naturalization must sign the petition in his own handwriting, if physically able to write ; must be a person of good, moral character, "attached to the principles of the Constitution and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States," and have a knowledge and understanding of our form of government and the fundamental principles of the Constitution. FUN AND GAMES— Here's a game for a crowd which requires no equipment — except, perhaps, a good pair of lungs and a sociable disposition. It's called "Sardines" and if you'll stick with me you'll find out why. Sardines is a variation of Hide and Seek, with a touch of Forfeits thrown in. One more suggestion — choose a cool day or evening for this — and we're on our way. At a signal the people, and the more of them the better the game works out, disperse to find hiding places. But there's strategy in not hiding too soon, because the purpose of the game is to find a spot in which another person is hidden, and join him in the hiding place. The more hiders per hiding place, the better. The last one left over at the end of the game — the one, that is, who's found no other hiders with whom to hide — must pay a forfeit. This is a good summer game, one of those sillies that call for a minimum of brain work and a maximum of foolish fun, which is a good , recipe for any hot weather activity. STOP AND THINK DEPARTMENT— There's a great deed scad about women drivers, especially concerning the incompetence oi same. And the saying has been done largely by the all-knowing male of the species. As is usually true of "they say" rumors, this one, too, is wrong. Here's something for the men to chew on for a while: of the drivers in fatal automobile accidents last year, 35,660, or 93.6 per cent, were men; in non-fatal accidents, 1,462,480, or 90.5 per cent, were men. There, lady, are some statistics to wave in your husband's face next time he has a few choice remarks to make about women behind the wheel.
