She Was A'Rarin'

The best automobile story that is going the rou4ds now, is that of the conversations that took place at a gasoline filling station in Southern California.

A big Rolls-Royce drove up and stopped, and the driver asked: "IIow far is it to Los Angeles?"

"A hundred and sixty miles" replied the gasoline man,.

"Give me thirty gallons of gas and a gallon of lube" said the Rolls-Royce driver.

Next came a Pierce-Arrow. "How far is it to Los Angeles?" he wanted to know. Same distance.

"Give me twenty five gallons of gas and thiee quarts of lube" was the order.

Then came a Lincoln. Same question. Same answer.

"Give me twenty gallons of gas and two quarts of lube," was the order.

Then came a Studebaker. Same question. Same distance.

"Give me fifteen gallons of gas and a quart of lube" was the order.

Then came four boys in an old Ford. Same question. Same distanse.

"F'ine" said the driver. "That far. Give me a package of Camels, fill her up with water, and hold her till I get in."
