Effect Of Two-Wheelers.


Persons unfamiliar with the two-wheel-
er are wont to inquire as to the injurious
effect of the vibration of the motor cycle
on the inner organism. 1t can be said
that the old-style. riSid-frame machine
was not any too healthy, and there are
still machines of this variety being man
ufactured. but with the innovation of the
full spring, front and rear equipment
most of this vibration is obliterated
A person who Is riding his first motor
may be troubled for the first month or
so with slight tiredness in the back
but that is soon overcome and il seems
that the more one rides the stronger
and better one feels And there are any
number of physicians who even advo-
cate and advise the riding of motor
cycles.
Fifteen years ago we were going
through one of the greatest crazes ever
known in the history of sport. This was
bicycling. Young and old-rich and poor
man. woman and child-seized upon this
two-wheeled vehicle as the one predomi-
nant machine for amusement and health.
The era Of the bicycle was an era Of
acquaintance with American out-of-
, doors to millions of people who other
wise would have scarcely known the
natural wonders and delights Of their
country.
This self-same era is repeating itself
today by means Of motor cycle. But with
an undreamed-of comfort and tenfold
pleasure
Gone is the fatigue Of pedaling up
hills and against head winds-all the
exertions of cycling have disappeared
with its motorization. Likewise, its graf
ihcattons have increased.
Fresh regions are constantly opening
up to the motor cyclist; thousands upon
thousands OF miles Of smooth state roads
-macadamized and oiled-await his pref
erence.
Not that a motor cyciist needs fine
roads. Steep grades sand. the narrow
riding space, rough surfaces mean moth

positive features too little realized by
those who have not given the motor
cycle a careful consideration.
On the other hand. the running cost
Of a motor cycle Is next to nothing per
mile. Sxty-tive miles on a gallon OF
gasoline. or 500 miles on a gallon Of oil,
are average performances. Repair
charges are correspondingly low. Official
reports of the Detroit police motor cycle

Abroad in the Old Dominion.

A strip of woods, a rustic bridge,
turn unknown behind ridge,
Slow wonders that can ne'er be told
BY pen till you yourself behold
The beauty of the South!
A charm there is that stirs the sleeping
Wanderlust beyond your keeping.
A charm that becks to you and sings
OF Natures wild and growing things
Displayed in your behalf.
Good roads invite: sweet lowlands wave
welcome till your heart does crave
To take the dare the blue hills give
And see just where this charm may live,
That whispers OF adventure.
Just trails there were in days gone by
Ger hills that rise to meet the sky.
Then sluggish ox-teams came along
And made the trails both wide and strong,
For coach and four to have Its day
And change roads to q broad highway
Throughout the Old Dominion.
And now has come the motor car
To help US see, both near and far,
These beauties. And the blue hills speak
And bid us more than e'er to seek
The wonders they possess.
Good roads to follow; good car, too,
And friends to share II all with you;
A chance to breathe the breath OF Spring;
An outing At for any King.
With a White, the South and you!

DESIGNING A MOTOR
FOR RIDING COMFORT
Some of the Important Features Es-
sential to an Easy
Car.
Drawn Between Ameri-
can and European Machines.
Real Test Of Upholstery.

The important practical function of an
automobile body is to carry passengers
comfortably. according to prominent
body designer of motor cars.
ITO obtain passenger comfort, dimen-
sions must be right for normal human
beings. cushion springs should be so con-
structed as to carry their load without
bottoming on rough roads. and back up
holstery must be so shaped as to COM
form to the human figure, relieve it from
severe shock. and make 1t unnecessary
for the passenger to repeatedly Shift
about on long ride in an effort to OBJ
tain an easy position said he the other
day. This last is the real test of up
holstery design.
There is, however, in addition to the
mere body dimensions. and beside the
relative merits OF different spring suspen-
sions, a still more important element for
consideration in designing a car for rid
ing comfort. and that is the general as
sembly, taking into account the distribu-
ton of the weight above the springs and
axles-to make it plain, the position of
the wheels with reference to the load
both of passengers and machinery.
Assembly Design Ignored.
"For the benefit of the engine and for
ease of steering. assembly designers
found years ago that it was essential to
place the front wheel well forward; usu-
ally. in a water-cooled car. on a line
with the front of the radiator. For a
similar consideration Of passengers. Eu-
ropean assembly designers are today
placing the rear wheel well back. and the
body designer. who in Europe is largely
the assembly authority also, contributes
further to comfort by keeping his pas
senger load well forward allowing, Of
course, generous foot room, but no more.
THE manufacturers of many American
cars seem not to have considered this
matter of general assembly design at all,

two automobile contests OF ten miles
each, with cash prizes offered in the nrst
event and silver trophies in the second
Application will be made to the American
Automobile Association to make one OF
these races a challenge event In which
the winner of the trophy will be required

The third automobile event Will be

bring out the entry of all the cyclecars
in Washington. Silver trophies will be
offered in this race. Only cyclecars Of
the accepted type will be permitted to
enter, and on account OF their novelty
this Is expected to be one OF the most
Interesting features.
The program having been extended to
include FIVE motor cycle and three auto
mobile races, the racing will start

Corporation In charge Of automobile dis
tribution. Mr.. Benson also predicts that
the time Is not far distant when the
superior advantages of the standard tread
will result in parting of the old dis
t!nction between north and south. He
bases this prediction on the general i'm
provement of road conditions throughout
the entire south.
Better Southern Roads.
1.-THE day is past" Mr.. Benson de-
clares, when the southern motorist was
compelled to ride as best he could in the
wagon ruts of the country roads. High
ways in many parts of the south are now
not merely equal, but actually better
than those in many parts of the north,
populated with similar density. Even In
the mountain districts, where wide-tread
wagons are still generally used, the mo-
torist will find roads that are almost al
ways crowned and are often macadam-
lied. A large majority of the cars we
have been shipping to our southern dealers
this year have been equipped with stand
ard tread So marked has been this trend
that it seems only a matter of education
until the standard becomes general"
Automobile manufacturers and dealers
will, of course, welcome such a condition.
At present the double standard implies
a waste in manufacture and a duplicate
supply stock Of axles for cars Of both
types

Of 90 GER cent of these casualties were
due to utter carelessness which may in

SOUTH HAS DEMANDED
A W|DER-TREAD CAR
Manufacturers in Past Have Met
Popularity Of Local
Conditions.

That virtually all automobile manufac-
turers build for southern demand dir-
ferently equipped car from that sold IN
the north is fact known to but Few
motorists. .....
The northern states demand cars whose
wheels run in a track flfty-six lnches
apart This tread is also the standard
to which European cars conform
The cars built especially for southern
trade have a tread Of sixty inches.
How this condition first became neces-
sary as a matter on which members OF the
vehicle trade have argued for many years.
General opinion seems to agree that on
account Of road conditions which once
prevailed south of the Dixie line the
greater tread was adopted to insure
needed stability and prevent overturn-
ing.
Standard an Old One.
The standard was established long be-
fore the day Of the motor car. Even
when automobiles began to attain gen
eral use there was still disposition on
the part Of the southern buyer to give
preference to wide-tread car.
That there has been a marked lessen
ing of this tendency during the past two
seasons is a fact brought out by p. X.

oiling the Motor.
A motor cannot be injured by too
much oil: on the other hand, insufficient
fabrication will ruin the best motor in q
very short time. BY applying oil freely
one may have to clean fouled plug
occasionally, but the engine will run at
its best and be running good when other
engines that have not been given enough
oil have been relegated to the scrap
heap.

Feel Free to Confer With
United States Heads,

WASHINGTON. Jan. President
Wilson to-day received from he
printer the final text of his address to
Congress, which he will read to a
joint session of the two houses to-
morrow.
The message, besides pointing out
what steps should be taken to curb
the operation of the trusts will deal
with the general policy of the Ad-
ministration toward business laying
stress on the Presidents desire that
tinanciers and active managers of in
dustrial enterprises should feel free to
consult with the heads of the Govern
ment at all times. Public hearings on
the bills will be suggested as one OF
the first steps toward mutual un-
derstanding. The President believes
such hearings will clear up the pub
lie mind and hasten action in Con-
gress.
The Wilson program is understood
to include. besides prohibition of in
terlocking directorates and the cred =
ton of a Federal Trade Commission,
laws empowering the Interstate Com
merce Commission to regulate the
stock and bond issue of railroads. and
amendments to the sherman law
making easier the prosecution of Sc
cret price fixing agreements and 9TH
er abuses
Personal guilt" is to be empha-
sized and individuals injured by trust
operations are to be allowed to re-
cover through Federal suits.

cause ne has an extra amount OF
gray matter in his head-and then he
is worth almost his weight in gold.
Take Michael, for instance, one OF

He is so important that he must have

only canine actor" in the world
reaching this zenith Of histrionic en-
deavor-for when you get TO point
where you are so important that you
have to have an understudy you've
gone about as far as you can go.
Michael is an emery looking" lit
tie thing, but he is well bred and
well trained. In the play there is also
little white dog, the pet of society
and supposedly the "ClasS" of dog
dom, while Michael is the scum" of
the canine world. The two are pit
ted against each other in a show OF
class distinction. which is where
Michael has to use his brains.
Naturally, Michael is great
friends" with Miss Gabrielle Gelinas
who, besides the actor" who takes
Michaers place when is indisposed, is
the only understudy travelling with

Michael thoroughly understands and
sympathizes with Miss Gelinas, who
has ambitions to brighten the theat
rioal solar system herself, and which
she confiGes to none but Michael.

Get a l0-cent box now.
Most old people must give TO the
bowels some regular help, else they suf-
fer from constipation. The condition
is perfectly natural. 1t is just as natu-
raj as it is for old people TO walk slowly.
For age is never so active as youth.
The muscles are less elastic. And the
bowels are muscles
So all old people need Cascarets. one
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle
aid to weak bowels, The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at
all ages but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But a lash can't be
used every day. What the bowels of
the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. one that can be constantly used
without harm. The only such ronic is
Cascarets, and they cost only 10 cents
per box at any drug store. They work
while you sleep. -AdVt
