They would behaxe all right until they almost reached the Regent Theater. and then they'd buck, cavort, slide and cut the diz- ziest figures known in the auto world. It was of no use for the driv- ers to twist their steering wheels. The cars just went past sideways. backwards. any old way. “I'se going 'way from heah." one colored boy said. “They’s been sprinkling some magic go-far dust round." The trouble was finally solved when the whole street was found to be covered with the slipperiest kind of oil. One bystander said a. passing auto had dropped a. ten-gallon can. which spread. Each car passing tracked the oil over a greater area. until it covered fifty or sixty feet. The skidding autos provided lots of enjoyment until one car turned right round. Enough was enough, and sand was sprinkled over ‘ the, road.
