DOCTORS LARGEST
USERS OF AUTOS
Motor Cars Increase Efficien-
cy of Physicians-Now
Absolute Necessity.

Wherever an attempt Is made to
classify automobile users according to
their vacations, 1t will be found that
the medical profession not only ap-
pears at the head of the list but leaves
a comfortable margin between its own
figures and those of the nearest COM
petitor. No other calling has awaited
itself of the advantages of the auto
mobile with greater alacrity.
How strong a hold the automobile
has taken on the doctors appreciation
may be seen from a statement of q
leading motor company, that of 81 900
of their cars in use at the present
time 1922 are in the hands of physi-
clans. This gives the medical profes-
sion lead that is not likely to be ov-
ercome for some time.
In calling the motor car into his i'm
portant service, the doctor does not
pay tribute to fashion, but he adopts
this modern method of individual
transportation in the same spirit in
which he utilities the valuable discov-
cries Of science and the advantages Of
! improved apparatus.
Horse and Buggy Go.
1t is essential, especially to the
country practitioner, that he possess
facilities for Independent transporta-
tion-hence the once familiar picture
of the doctors horse and buggy. But
with the increased use of the automo-
bile, the hitching post has lost its sig
! nificance, the service of animal flesh
and blood its former appreciation, and
in it's stead there is the motor car, in
a form admirably adapted to the pro-
| fessional mans needs, since it does
the work of many horses, besides do.
ing it better, cheaper and quicker
than it's four-legged predecessor.
In recounting the many allurements
of the motor car for use by the doc
tor, the greater speed obtained nat
urally is an important consideration
though it is we'll to bear in mind that
the main factor is less the capability
of the automobile to travel certain
number of miles an hour than that
of maintaining a given speed for ar
indefinite length of time.
First of all, the automobile has
greater speed, and thus it saves time
1t possesses greater endurance, since
it is not subject to fatigue and may be
driven 5 or 100 miles without detri
ment to it's life or to it's readiness te
perform a like service time and again
in other words it requires no rest aft

The automobile is more sanitary
than horses, because, unlike the ami
NAL, it attracts no insects and is no
responsible for odors that are insepa
rable from places where horses ar,

while causing no expense whatever
during periods of non-use.
1t doubles the usefulness of the
physician because he can call upon his
patients in one-third the time, or he
can call on three times the number OF
patients. increasing in either case his
value to the community, and last, but
not least, his income-not to forget

and recreation. gains which. in mod
ern life. are of equal Importance.
The automobile is less troublesome
than the horse. because it requires no
grooming, no shoeing. no veterinary
sort of attention that can not be given
to it by the doctor himself. II adds
dignity to the doctors calling in pro-
claiming him to the community as a
progressive member of the medical
fraternity-the young practitioner rid

ing into lucrative practice where his
less up-to-date colleague merely walks
into one. the financial advancement
usually being proportionate to the IA
cility with which the physician Is able
TO spread his skill over his territory.
Automobiles are an absolute neces-
sity to the doctor. They also mean
convenience, pleasure and relaxation
when the stern routine of the physi-
clans calling gives way to rest and
the enjoyment of life.

The Bad Bankers.

An Irish laborer in the federal prison
at Atlanta had to undergo serious
surgical operation when he was serv-
ing his term. His nurses were two
prominent bank officials who for the
sake Of their sins were wearing away
the days by working as attendants In
the prison hospital.
"How are you today?" the doctor
asked the Irishman when he was con.
valescing.
'Oh. pretty fair" he answered, "but
these bank presidents make mighty
bum nurses. They don't know their
business. l should have been well. but
they have put several bad checks on
my recovery."-St. Louis Republic.
