NORFOLK MOTORISTS WANT
HIGHWAY TO RICHMOND
TidevRter Automobile Association VIII
Have "Socinbility Run" 10 Home
VILE To-

Good roads will he boosted and en-
thusiasm kindled for the Richmond- to =
Norfolk highway as Endorsed by the
Underwater Automobile Association as s,
result OF the "Sociability Run" to be
conducted out at Norfolk by that or
SaniZatton tomorrow. Charles j.
Mains, secretary, has sent out letters
OF invitation TO every automobile own
or OF record living in the several towns
bonneville. and as the cars pass
through various sections of the coun-
try ii is thought that many will join
who have received no formal invita-
ton. The party will leave Norfolk
carly on the morning of August 6, and
will journey to bonneville by way of
SUFFOLK and Franklin. After a picnic
dinner at bonneville, the motorists will
return TO Norfolk. arriving home about
S o'clock.
All along the way the motor party
will stop 10 boost the Norfolk TO Rich
mond highway. as it is completed so
far, and 1t will probably be pleas
urable surprise to every one in the
run TO find the great Improvement
which has taken place during recent
months OIL the roads. II is said that
with the exception of n few miles be-
tween Driver and Suffolk, the entire
stretch from Norfolk to bonneville has
been placed in excellent repair and
far better condition than they were
several months ago.
Richmond people are enthusiastic
over the proposed highway connecting
the capital city with the Tidewater
section. and many motorists here be-
lieve that the proposed route will be
a reality within a few months.

That reminds me OF the case OF n

twelve months work In twelve months. Like
most habits, those Of play and relaxation be-

do our likes and dislikes Of persons, food or

vidual. One would not train a boy destined for

Der OF Popular Science has advanced the very
probable theory that the worldwide inclination

mental condition created artihcially by this
urug which stimulates and perhaps replaces
to certain degree the normal instinct OF re.
taxation and play. Psychologists tell us that
crime itself is In large part founded on a per.
verted play instinct, and is frequently but an
evidence OF abnormal desire for relaxation, for
change.
HAbitual criminals are those who have in
most instances few possibilities in the way OF
natural and innocent play. and criminals are
now largely treated. as Oliver Wendell Holmes
predicted. by education along these lines The
TACT Is we'll recognized, believe by all students
OF sociology. The sinister and stern, mental
type OF those who view everything except
work as vanity and deluson is obvious to us
all. Play we will and play we must, even
though our play and relaxation may take on
such abnormal bents as those of drunkenness
or as the designing OF punishment for others,
