not to own a machine Yet there are
tens Of millions of good people in this
country who own no automobiles
Have they wholly failed in life?
There are or course many people
perfectly able 10 buy motorcars. who
do not care for them. The meditative
PAGES Of the old family horses suit
them better. or they may have no
gumption for machinery The posi-
bility Of finding themselves stranded
on lonely road twenty-five miles
from nowhere is deterrent.
Still automobiles are the twentieth
century's most popular toy. In nine
out OF ten cases. failure TO own one
results from a feeling OF inability to
afford IT, What solace have these
people FOR lack Of convenience that
a great many people now find to be an
absolute necessity?
To the philosopher. the possession
of two good muscular legs able TO
walk considerable distances without
fatigue, is a very good substitute 1t
is a compensation which many people
do not understand. Even before the
days Of automobiles. one often used to
hear farm people. who had the use Of
several horses. speak rather contempt
uously of city persons who used to
come into the country and spend a
good deal of time walking. 1t never
seemed TO occur to the horse owner
that people walk for the mere pleasure
OF the stride and the close contact
with nature
The use Of motor cars is weaken
ing muscular power for great many
persons. AS the fascinating ease Of
motion gets its grip over them, it is
a great temptation TO jump into them
for a half mile shopping trip or errand
about town.
Man is a walking animal His
organs depend for their stimulus on
muscular activity The results Of
losing the habit of walking. under the
beguilements of a fascinating play
thing, seem ominous. They are
something that threatens serious work
for the doctors.

tories are working day and night. The
motor truck factories are still re-

provement in trade in the east. The
large orders from that section show
that conditions are greatly improved
there. This is particularly true of the
district about Philadelphia, Boston

WOMEN PORTERS.
(Ry Associated PreSs.)

London April 24.-The woman bag
gage porter has made her appearance
in the Marylebone railway station.
For some time, women have been en-
ployed cleaning the railway coaches,
but now they take their places with
the men to carry bags or roll trunks
on hand trucks to and from the trains
and the taxis. Their insignia is a
metal arm badge, like the mems.
AS rule, the women porters look
mainly after women travellers. The
only privilege they exact over the men
is their afternoon cup of tea.
The women are now quite as well
up on the time tables as the men, and
can pocket tips with equal adeptness.
