iNEsP1TE the fact that automobiles are whirring in every direction
 A~ with men steering their dizzy courses, men in cities nowadays get prac- tically no exercise that most happily de- velopes the body, unless they make espe- cial effort to secure it.
 Joseph Conrad, the seafaring author, comments thoughtfully upon this subject, saying:
 More and more is mankind reducing it's physical activities to pulling levers and twirling little wheels Progress, yet the older methods of meeting natural forces demanded intelligence too, and equally fine readiness of wits working in combi- nation with strength and muscles made more complete man."
 The man who rowed or sailed a boat, obtained something besides pleasure, something more important than diversion; he developed shoulders, arms, back, and legs, while the man who runs a motor boat starts his engine and then sits still and steers the craft without further physical effort.
 The man riding a horse or driving a vehicle had ito expend a good deal of strength holding his animal motor force
 in check; the man who drives his automo- bile, except when cranking it, or inflating lax tire, or doing a thousand and one jobs in relation to preparation, for motion isc under far greater mental strain while driving his car than physical.
 The tendency of most avocations today is to exhaust mind and body by nervous tension, rather than exercise.
 At the close of the day, people find themselves irritable and restless, rather than good natured and tired; they want to put on their hats and go somewhere
