Grttnville Ud Yakw l^ng Trip and
Then Waken Up,
Greenville News,
C*n a person get up in hie sleep, go
to h get. un automobile out
that he has hardly learned to drive,
and race eight miles down a road
'.'wide open" and never run in a ditch?
If that question has been puzzling
anyby^y it has been answered. The
stunt watt pulled one night last week
by George I'uckett, 14 year old son of
W. L. I'uckett, night watchman in the
Woodside building. George's father
told the story to a News reporter in
Greenville at the Woodside building.
The tale ran something like this:
The Puckett home is situated some
three miles from the city just off the
Kasley road. George has been known
several times to get* up in his sleep
and walk about the house, always
waking members of the family, who
got him back to bed. Tuesday about
midnight he arose and without dress
ing; walked out of the house. When
somewhat younger George was
"afraid of the dark" and even now
he does not like to go about after
night has fallen.,- He went straight
to the garage on this night, however,
and on? of the small children heard
him start the engine of a well known
make of automobiles."
The little one called an older bro
ther but before he could get out of
the house, George was fast disappear
ing. George had just learned to drive
the car. He did not take the regular
drivevyay to the road, but an old
wagon road barely wide enough to get
through. He did not seem, to mind the
narrow road, however, as he opened
the accelerator; he tore over brush
piles at full speed. He fast;disap?
pen rod towards Saltufa" IcTamT^'
The boy was next seen as he passed
the dam stil! going at full speed. A
man who saw him hatless and wear
ing nothing but a thin nightshirt, re^
alized that something was wrong and
telephoned officials further down the
road. . t
In the mean time, Wayoourt Chil
dress and other neighbors of the
Pucketts had been awakened and
started in pursuit of the sleeping boy
in their automobiles. They passed a
number of cars who reported seeing
the boy driving as fast as the car
would run. About three miles from
home they found George -on the side
of the road, wide awake and in trou
ble: His car wouldn't go.
George told his story. He said that
he could not remember much about
it but it soemed that he suppposed one
of the heels had come off one of his
shoes and he was going to have it
fixed. He (lid not know how far he
had been but when he awoke he was
parked on the side of the road, head
ed towards home. His engine had evi
dently died.
The- pursuers estimated from infor
mation given by other cars that
George had driven about eight miles
from home and turned around <tnd
driven over fuye miles on the back
track when he woke up.
If George had tried the stunt in the
day time when he was awake he
would have probably been in the ditch
before he had driven a mile, relatives
said.
Needless to say that after this the
Puckett car will be securely locked
and the key hidden before George
goes to bed. *
Backfire.
"It's no wonder you're such a sissy, "
declared the bad boy. "Your pa and
ma were married by a justice of the
peace,"
"Well, retorted independent Mary,
"from the noise I hear coming from
your house, your pa and ma must
have been married by the secretary of
war." ? The Continent, (Chicago).

a Good 8lny?r.
It hail /bven stated by a, leading ping
ing t eacher that we all would have a
good voice If It were cultivated, but
Htlii some voices would be better than
others. There Is a reason why we do
not all huve really flue voices. The
"souud box," as It were, of our body
la the larynx, or aa moat people call
it, the "Adam's Apple." Across this
stretch our two vocal chords, like the
strings of a violin, thick for a bass,
thin f?r a tenor, and so on. The "bow"
that strikes these chords If, of course,
our own breath, und the dlffereut nptes
are produced by the moving of certain
muscles st the base of the larynx.
Just as the tone of a violin depends
largely upon the body of the Instru
ment, so even perfect vocal chords are
of little use unless our body contains
a sufficient space, properly laced, for
their tone to echo In; resonating o#vl
tlea, we call thera. We therefore need
for the beat voice a perfect sound box
and perfect chorda, plus fully devel
oped "resonating cavltlep," a?<l good
muscles to work the larynx.
Added to this, our mouth and tongue
must be placed In precisely the best
position for our particular notes. Per
fect health ts needed for the, breath
that is our "bow," a j>erfeet ear to dis
tinguish the slightest variation of tone,
and finally a long nnd expensive train
IhK to enable us to work every part of
our sound-machine to the best advan
tage. Olven all these factors, we have
the perfect singer. Short in any one
of them, we have a less perfect singer 1
