EXERCISE AND MORALITY
BY n. ADDiNGToN BRUCE
Psychology

II you have son. or a friend, who

Try TO persuade your son or your
friend t. take regular. daily, outdoor
exercise, preferably some form Of
exercise that Will be of real interest
TO him
The elemen. of interest is of i'm
portance for two reasons.
In the first place. if his exercise
does not interest him. ne will not
persist in it. In the second place,
unless it is interesting il will not
give him a maximum OF physical
benefit.
Exercise that is tedious fatigues
rather than strengthens. All exer-

ercise fatigues almost as soon as IL
is begun.
As result, the healthy stimula-
ton of the muscles and bodily pro-
Cesses which exercise should give is
frustrated And this stimulation il
Is as important TO obtain for the
sake Of the moral life as OF the
physical.

Sane Auto Drivers Should
Give New Law a Fair Test

Let us accept the view of the Little
field auto ordinance that is advanced
only by the selfish driver who imagineS
the streets are for his exclusive use, and
concede. for the time being, that upon
its face it is impracticable and unwork-
able
Tn what better way can its faults be
determined. if it really has faults, than
by an honest test of its provisions, mark
ed by earnest whole-hearted co-opera,
ton of the automobilists.
1t is pointed out that one BAD effect
Of the law will be tendency on the part
of some drivers to put on speed when
approaching a street car in an endeavor
to pass it before it has come to a stop.
The police can do their share toward
q fair trial for the Littlefield ordinance
by taking care of these fellows just as
soon as they show themselves, and by
making of them an example for others.
Our safety zones will have been es-
tabHshed for naught and will offer no
protection whatever to the citizen wait
ing for a car if the police, for an IN
slant. tolerate the meteriSt who aims to
get around the new law with speed.
He would make the safety zones
DANGER zones, and the Times sug-
gests his prompt yanking up as men
ace in the community.
The most thoughtless of those who
have opposed the Littlefield ordinance is
the man with the opinion that its pro-
visions will hurt the auto industry.
but we ask this man, too, If he drives
an auto. to get in line and do his Rere
toward fair test.
What we mean is THOROUGH test
NOT test such as given the skip-stop
plan, which the council revoked after
few hours trial.
Let all join in and comply literally
with the new law until there has been
ample time to make comparisons.
It's object, it must be borne in mind,
is to protect the pedestrian and to re-
duce the number of accidents in our
streets.

Grafton for the man with so little re-
gard for life and limb that he will at
tempt to turn his city's principal, bus
lest and most congested thoroughfare
into a speedway.
Incidentally, the Littlefeld law was
not passed to relieve the pedestrian of
HIS responsibility to himself in the mat
ter of protecting his own neck.
The inan approaching the street or
standing in the street will still do well
to keep awake.
If the law had been intended as lul-
laby for the pedestrian, they would have
