TRIBUTE TO THE AUTOMOBILE

Three of my old college class
mates" a physician said. have turn
err anti-fat specialists, and are doing
well. The anti-fat specialist, who
was unknown ten years ago, is today
as recognized a figure in medicine as
the eye or lung specialist. Why?
The reason is that, thanks to au-
tomobiling, mankind is growing too
fat. There's nothing, you know, that
puts flesh on people like daily motor
drives.
That swift rush through the keen,
sweet air for several hours daily Gre
ates an enormous appetite. After it
you go down to dinner all aglow. You
eat like a lion You feel happy and
virtuous. as though you had walked
ten miles. But you haven't walked
ten miles. You haven't walked one.
And that's why motoring makes
us fat. 1t gives US the exercis err
superb digestions, eliminations, per
SEPARATIONS, and so forth. Hence our
double chins and bullying waists.
Hence the sudden rise of the anti
fat specialist. New York Tribune.
