Abstract

In the Driftway
June 24, 1931 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the use of canes. Against the stick-up man, a cane would exert quite other than a helpful influence, for it would put you in the idle class. For protection against skidding, fully as great a danger for hell-bent pedestrians, a cane might be of value but even here the credit side is overbalanced by the probability of its getting tangled up with people's feet. To be without a walking stick is to be mistaken for a man rather than a gentleman.
