[ARST AUTO TRIP LIKE RIDING BIRD 10 MAN OF vt ee eel Looks Over Side to See if Wheels Are Really on the Ground.

FEARS TROLLEY CARS They Make Too Much Noise for East St. Louisan—Ex- pects to Reach 100. Archie McDonald of East St. Louis, who is 98 years old and expects to round out the century by drinking ais daiiy toddy and eating all he wants, took his first ride in an automobile Monday afternoon. Tuesday he still felt though he had passed through a grave danger safely, but, in spite of his fear of the “‘new-fangled thing,’’ he enjoyed the ride. The old man lives with a daughter, Mrs. Martha Hall, at 1215 Lincoln ave- nue. He has lived in East St. Louis for 20 years, but he knew the site of the city before the city existea. He used to cut cordwood out of the woods there in 1840. “I'm a Democrat and I’ve always been one,’’ he said to a Post-Dispatch reporter. ‘I started voting that ticket when .Andrew Jackson ran for Presi- dent and I’ve been voting that way ever since. Tom White, the ostmaster at the stockyards, is a Republican, but he’s a good friend of mine. ‘He has an automobile and he wanted to take me to the polls last November to vote for Bryan, but I'd walked over and voted already. He said he would take me for a ride some day and I said _maybe i’a go. I was not sure I could bring myself to risk one of those auto- mobiles, though I’é seen several of them and the people in ‘em ‘aan't seem to mind.

as Felt Like Flying. “When Mr. White rode up yesterday and asked me to go, I just concluded that I'd take him up and I went. I felt like I was riding on an airship or a bird. I know they have paved streets now that they didn’t use to have, but even that didn’t explain the smoothness with which we traveled. “I had to look over the side every once in a while to see if the wheels really were on the ground. “I saw the first steamboats and lo- comotives and they were wonderful. I didn’t mind them so much. Then I’ve ridden on trolley cars several times, but I don’t like them. They're noisy and kind ef scary and I don’t see how electricity can make ‘em go. “But the automobile is the most won- derful of all. If the things are safe— and people tell me they are, though I can’t see how they could be—I should loons er anything else they wanted to safe for traveling. ‘We rede all over East St. Louis in an hour and a half. I could have rid- den over the town in half an hour when I came here. But if we had tried to cover the same territory over rough dirt streets in one of the old busses or buggies we used to have it would have taken about 14 hours.” Mr. McDonald’s sight and hearing have been somewhat weakened by his age, but otherwise he is sound and well. Fixpects to Reach 100. “I expect to live to be 100,"" he said, ‘but I don’t think my time will be long after that. I have been able to get so old by simple living. I go to bed early and get up early. My bed- time is 7:30 p. m. and I get up at 4:30 a.m. I have my meals regularly and eat whatever I want, but I don’t think anybody ought to eat fresh meat. Salt meat ia better, wih corn and beans and potatoes. “T used to smoke, but I haven’t for 3 It was pretty hard to quit, but I aid it. I take a toddy every morning, and not a stingy one either. Sometimes when I’m not feeling well I have my daughter make me another, but I never take more than three a day, although sometimes (and his eyes twinkled) I kind of pretend to feel worse than I really do just to get another toddy.” MAYOR WOODS OF WELLSTON SPENDS 1000 YEARS’ SALARY ENTERTAINING HIS FRIENDS More Than 1200 Gather at the Woods Home to Eat, Drink and Be Merry. Mayor Roy C. Woods of Wellston spent 1000 years’ salary entertaining the people of his new city Monday night. The refreshments included champagne, beer, soft drinks and sandwiches. The Mayor's salary is 12 cents a year, and a conservative estimate of the cost of the “reception” was $120. As the Mayor cannot hope to hold his job for 10 centuries he has no chance to draw enough from the city treasury to reimburse him. The reception was planned for the purpose of bringing the residents of Welliston together and making them ac- quainted with the city officials. More than 1200 men and women re- sponded te the hospitable invitation. They found the Mayor and his “cabi- net” waiting for them on the lawn of the Weods home, at 6419 Wellsmar ave?’ nue. The trees and shrubbery were dec- orated with Japanese iantérns and negro waiters bustied about asking the visitors “what they would have. Sandwiches and drinks were distrib- uted and consumed wh..e Homeyer’s or- chestra played. For the ocecasion Mayor Woods had rented the vacrnt house at 6423 Wells- mar avenu. and had transformed the big ..ving room into a dance hall. There the younger visitors amused themselves while their fathers and mothers were becoming acquainted with
