Society

So intimately connected is our civic,
social and business life that what at
feCts one is ant Ia have "A perCeptible
bearing on the other. For instance,
the good roads movement" not many
years old, was regarded as a splendid
business move, bringing the producer
and consumer In closer touch and
accomplishing the twofold purpose of
increasing the value of farm land and
reducing the cost of living to the city
dwellcr. But out of this movement
has come a new form of social diver
sion, which has nor only proven most
enjoyable. but health giving as we'll:
for only the good roads movement has
made possible the many delightful
auto tours. motor parties and sociabiI-
itv runs. which have heen entoyed TO
the utmost by society dcvotees And
not only in Virginia is this true. but
one reads of the delights of the Plea
sInc auto run. which received such
an ovation on their arrival at Mem

arousiug the greatest enthusiasm in
the south and West. and of the an
