The narrator recalls a surprise encounter near Mt Carroll with a motorcycle cop who stopped him for four traffic infringements. The amusing tale includes misread signals, a light bulb pursuit for the car, and later reflections on police as protectors rather than targets, with past antics of friends in Chadwick and Clinton.

The Skin And Its Care 30 You Know
The skin is living tissue weighing about six pounds and covering sixteen to twenty square feet when flat. Skin thickness varies from one fiftieth of an inch on lids to a quarter inch on soles. Clean skin needs exposure to breathe and sweat. avoid harsh soaps and hot water to prevent irritation. Moderate tanning helps overall health but excess speeds aging. Ruddy blondes and freckled individuals should limit sun exposure and protect skin. Wrinkling comes from loss of subcutaneous fat and elasticity as skin glands slow and blood flow declines.
