AUTO AILM ENTs.

A formidable array of nervous
and other ailments has been charged
against motoring, the victims for the
most part being women, indicating
that this sport is oyerstrenuous for
them. Among the ailments are the
"auto eye" and the "auto leg" The
auto eye is a spasm of the ciliary
muscles, which govern accommoda-
tons for distances, the sight being
constantly and rapidly attracted by
objects now near, now distant, maxi
ing an abnormal strain on the visual
mechanism. The Journal of the
American Medical Association de-
scribes the auto leg as a cramp due
to sitting in one position for hours
while the veins and muscles are UNI
der strain from consecutive shocks
and joltings over hard roads.

SEX-RIDDEN FICTION

A plea and a protest has gone abroad in the land for the future of the drama. It should likewise include the fiction of today.
 Society has willed many unfort- unate things. The stage does not stand alone in it's immoral tone. There are other fields of art which require considerable purging. The recent painting "Septt mber Morn." has excited an endless amount of comment. Copies have been prohibited in the United States mails, yet the picture is not nearly so bad as some of the criticisms made of it.
 The dress of today is immoral. and in some instance positively in- decent.
 Many of t e novels which en-

worn.
 1t is but natural that the dram atist, who feels the pulse of the public like the physician feels the pulse of his patient, has writ ten his plays in accordance with the public demand and in the line with the accepted public taste In the day of Boccassio his books were burned, but to- day, centuries after, the books of Baccossio can be purchased on nearly any book stand. If the sex play is bad, the overridden sex novels are worse. They are generally read in the closet. The action of New York authorities in suppressing two indecent plays may perhaps call attention to the fact that a season cores bonding objectionable fiction is threatening. Hall Gaines recent novel, The Woman Thou Gavest Me-, has added an hysterical emphasis to the tendency. This book, with it's sensational theme, its questionable logic and it's false ethics, can do as much moral harm as either The Lure" or The Fight" t."
 Elanor Glyn wrote a book, the title of which has long since be- come worldwide jest, which paved the way for score or more abscene romances which should never have been for a minute tolerated.
 Since we have started on a movement of reform in the drama let it be applied to our fiction, to our dances and to our modes of dress as well. Commercial Ap. peal.
