To The Editor
Microbe, England, March 13) To the Editor of the Daily Trojan): Sir Herbert Austin, the Henry Ford of England, has solved America's traffic and parking problem with his latest auto-sensation. Sir Herbert's car Is about the sire of a baby buggy and can easily be delivered through the mails. It will probably be called “The Snipe” because lt falls into a gutter so easily.
It uses less gas than a neighborhood cleaner. The gas tank can be easily refilled by draining a cigarette lighter. No brakes are on this midget motor buggy, the driver merely drags his feet on the ground until it stops. If one doesn't want to leave it parked, It can be hung onto a watch chain, as a charm.
This gas driven amoeba will be mailed in a packing box envelope, which can be used as a garage by the owner. In case the Snipe doesn't run good upon arrival the owner can complain that someone has been tampering with the mail. Henry Ford will have to take a hint and make his next car collapsible.
