One of Richmonds leading physi-
clans, and a man of experience and
judgment, declares that automobiling
Is one Of the greatest benefits to So
cial well-being. as he can trace many
benefits derived from motoring.
Motoring. he states. is a form OF
fresh air treatment to which must
be added the unique exhilaration aris-
ing from fast travelling. Moreover
one must not forget the rapid
change of scene, nor the piquancy
given to the rapid unfolding OF the
panorama, the key to which lies in
the possession of a motor car
1t is easy enough to assert, he
says. that a swift rush through the
air is a splendid energy producer for
the human frame, but TO grasp the
underlying causes needs little
thought. The main reason is to be
found in the physiological fact tina,
the circulation is stimulated by an
increased pressure of the wind acting
on the body, the effect being en-
HANGED moreover by variations of its
force. And the same remark applies
equally to the respiration. as the
breathing IS more rapid.

said that majority of the old stars
are still loyal to Frank Chance and
do not take kindly to the Evers ad-
ministration.
The railroading Of Joe Tinker was
also resented by veteran Cubs, who
followed Chance to his many cham

that there are a number of men on

didn't break out because they knew
what would result, as Chance could
