MOTORING GIVES ONE HEALTH,
SAY SAN FRANCISCO DOCTORS

change Of environment obtained by
driving through the countryside in q
motor car"
Motorists should be moderate, how
ever, in driving. In this respect the
physician says:
Just as in the performance Of ply
steal exercise, to obtain the best ef-
feet, automobiling should be enjoyed
at a sane and sensible rate Of speed.
Fast driving, Joy riding" creates a
nervous condition similar TO overex.
ercising, resulting in a degeneration
OF the nervous system, difficult to re-
pair. Speeding induces hardening of
the arteries and premature old age.
The individual to whom 1t Is most
important to forget the cares of every
day life soon grows weary Of ocean
travel. The water becomes tiresome
In a mountain resort the continual
sameness Of scenery acts as pail on
his mental appetite In motoring the
patient secures a physical and men,
tai stimulation with the rapid shifting
of scenes" the physician claims.
Coupled with the pleasure and the
beneficial effects secured from the
actual riding is the tendency on. the
part Of the driver to take an interest
in things mechanical. Hours are spent
prying into the mysteries of carbu-
rotor or ignition system. These acti-
vities relieve one from business or
household varies.
The advice to motorists by Dr. Hass-
Ter is summed up as follows:
When you motor, motor for health.
Expand your chest and inhale all the
nourishing oxygen you possibly can.
Speeding is not only dangerous from
the viewpoint of possible accident, but
it upsets your nervous system Travel
slowly and take in as many points Of
interest as you can. Endeavor to de-
termine the character Of vegetation
growing in the fields. II you are on
a camping trip sleep in the open. A
day motoring through the country Is
more beneficial than all the tonic you
could purchase. @

California Experts Praise Rid
ing for All Those Who Would
Be Well; Aids Tired Brain

When you seek health, ride in an
automobile.
Such is the joint advice Of DR.. W. c.
Hassler, public health officer of San
Francisco, and DR.. Guy Z. Manning
chairman of the hospital committee OF
the San Francisco board of health.
Automobiling as a consistent rec
reation, declare these authorities, is
especially valuable to those suffering
from:
| Nervousness.
Anemia. Is
Brain fag.
Pulmonary trouble.
And is a great preventive in ward
ing off disease.
No longer do these physicians rec
ommend the long sea voyage. The
globe trotter seeking health is becom
ing extinct. Fresh air and plenty
of it as obtained through motoring is
the modern prescription. DR.. Hassler
says:
If a man came to me in a certain
run down condition, regardless of his
| financial condition, l would say, Get
yourself an automobile and go out into
the open. If you haven't the money
go borrow it. 1t may save your life. -
Driving in the fresh air fills the
lungs with pure oxygen which de,
stroys the impurities of the blood
stimulates the heart action, gingers
up the weary brain and enables a per.
son to perform work which could not
otherwise be accomplished.
Persons suffering from govt and tor,
pid liver are also greatly benefited
by motoring, declare these experts on
public health. -
Nothing can be more helpful to a
patient in rundown condition or one

DE PALMA TO AID
THE GOVERNMENT

Newspapers have it that Ralph de
Palma is to take up work for the gov.
eminent testing airplane engines
This rumor is unconfirmed, but cred
ulence is lent it since J. G. Vincent,
vice president of engineering for the
Packard, is engaged as a consulting
engineer in the United States aviation
corps for the duration of the war.
De Palma has had much to do with
the development of the Packard air
plane engine. it is said. He also used
one of his new twin-six racing cars

again repeated in rapid succession so
long as the contact C remains closed.
Each time the current in the primary
circuit is established and destroyed
there is a high electrical pressure pro-
duced in the secondary winding. This
high electrical pressure is of sufficient
value to cause a current to be estap.

trodes of the spark plug and thus pro-
duce the desired ignition spark.
A four cylinder combination is
shown diagrammatically in Fig. 4.
Two batteries are provided in this
case, and either one may be used by
throwing the switch on either point
l or point g. This system is some
times called the jump mark system.
The operation of the ignition coil
will be described more fully in the
next section.

Sir: We have noticed with deep
concern that great many newspapers
are giving space to stories which seem
to indicate gasoline shortage in the
United States. Some of these stories
lave gone so far as to recommend
that motor car riding by the general
public be discontinued. There is also
a tendency to class motor cars as a
luxury unsuited tc conditions imposed
by the war.
1t is easy to see that the publica-
ton of such stories tends to dis

'Tn 'sprise mamma. She'll be tired
md hungry. U-uml I'd like to taste
the pie. But mustn't, not even wee
tiny smldge."
Airline Ross, age seven, queen of the
little kitchen of the humble Ross
home, assumed grand important air
as she smoothed out the table cloth
and proceeded to set in turn on its
worn surface pie, half a dozen
doughnuts and some sliced boiled ham.
Then she looked into the steaming cof-
fee pot. The aroma arising was sat

"And / earned 1t all ~ pronounced
Airline proudly. isn't 1t queer, me

telling neighbor she couldn't leave
the children alone, and l stepped up
and said I'd be glad to watch and
amuse them. Then, when she came
home, she gave me half n dollar, and
I-marketed!" and Airline chuckled
gleefully.
A full table had been a rarity at
the Ross home for some weeks past.
Dire trouble had fallen on gentle, pa
tent Mary Ross. Her husband. Ed
gar, had one fault. Ever so often he
fell in with drinking comrades 1T the
mill where he was a bookkeeper and
a night Of revelry ensued. Mary had
borne this sorrow meekly, for when
sober, Edgar Ross was the soul of
kindness and consideration.
Then one night there came terrible
news. Ross had been dlsslpatlng all
the evening. There had been num-
Der OF robberies In the town and the
police were on the lookout for the per-
petrntors. According TO their story,
they had met Ross escorted by a
stranger. They were suspicious of
strangers. Only an hour previous a
house had been broken into and some
valuable jewelry stolen.
At sight of the stranger they had
halted him, questioned him and
searched him. They found nothing
suspicious on his person and the Off
Ger, knowing Ross, took him in charge
to see him safely home. The stranger
went his way. AS Ross neared home
something fell from his pocket. It
was a watch and some diamond rings
done up In n handkerchief. The officer

possession. A week later he was sent
to the penitentiary for ten years as
common burglar.
Then came sorrow, hardship for
Mary. The trial took all of their saw
ings. She was called on to support
herself and her little girl. Only q
few were willing to employ the wife
of convict as seamstress. The shoe
pinched sorely, and well might little

Airline got tired waiting for the re-
turn Of her mother. She went out on
the street and peered far down its
length. There was no longed-for moth
er in sight. And then, about to re
turn to the house, she became inter
ested in watching a man with cane
who llmping came out of a near yard.
"We've enough of our own to feed"
its owner was shouting roughly,
without wasting good victuals on
tramps and loafersl"
The mendlcant came down the street
till he reached horse block. Airline
regarded him pityingly. He was thin,
pale and convulsed with a racking
cough. He bowed his head dejectedly.
Airline stole up to his side. She placed
n gentle hand upon his arm.
Are you hungry, mister" she
asked.
He looked up In a surprised yet
hopeless way. The pure, innocent face
of the child abashed him.
