Ride a Bicycle For Health, Pleasure and Profit
A BICYCLE IS.
AN ALL The
YEAR PRESENT

In these days of national changes as
to economy and efficiency, brought
about by the world war, the bicycle is
everywhere being recognized as mans
greatest invention for saving time, and
thus frightening life; for conserving
energy, thus making the individuals
power greater and for giving health
while not being A forced physical ac
ton, but instead a joy.
When considering Christmas gifts,
many are puzzled to choose what will
give the most satisfaction, do the most
good and be the most pleasing. But all
will agree that a bicycle will please
boy or girl more than anything else,
and indirectly insure good health, the
most valuable thing in all the wide
world
The bicycle is such a simple vehicle,
noiseless, neat and taking up so little
space when either in use or stored
away. that we do not realize its great
help to the individual and that it was
the first real Improvement in trans
portation for the individual in thous-
ands of years, for horses were as good
away back in the times of the Pha-
raohs and the building of their pyra-
mids along the Egyptian Nile, and their
Arabian steeds today even rank with
the best horses on earth, while a BIZ
cycle covers more ground in the same
time than the best horses, yet not tir-
ing the rider any more, if as much as
on horseback.
A boy or girl who has bicycle saves
parents many steps, does many an err
rand, besides getting to and from
school quicker than on foot or street
car, and thus is able to spend more
time at home, where a child's help
often is quite important. But aside
from this utility point of view, the
child gets pleasure all the time out of
bicycle. is enabled to push back the
horizon six times as far as on foot with
the same expenditure of effort and
time, and has health improved at the
ages when children and young people
are most liable to lose or gain good
health.
While a bicycle costs, like every
thing else, more money today than be-
fore the war, yet the raise in value of
a bike is nowhere as great as for other
types of transportation, or other arti-
cles of like value.
A hoy with bicycle can always get
a Job, if outside work is necessary,
when without, work is hard to find. A
bicycle is much better for a boy than
any kind of gun, and the trips OF dis
covery open to the bicycle rider are
| limitless. He can always have a new
route to pursue, a new way to go, and
if he lives in the suburbs Of town or
| out into the country, the bike brings
the town closer, the center Of the city
nearer and likewise, if school is far
| the bicycle is necessity.
| For more than Is years all the ar
mics of Europe have used the bicycle
/ extensively, but only the past year has
the United States adopted the bicycle
as a war necessity and the first ship
ment to France was 10000 bicycles
from a Massachusetts bicycle factory,
while since then many others have
been sent across, and recently the Z. 5.

FRANTIC HUN FICTION
TELLU.S. NAVY MUTINY
Literary Digest)

The frantic anxiety shown by the
Germans to minimize the importance Of
Americas Intervention in the war is
the best evidence of the fear they feel.
The German papers are full of stories,
possible and impossible, about what is
happening in this country, and every
effort is made to persuade the German
people that Americas adhesion to the
allied cause is but a half hearted af-
fair. 1t is, however to the German
controlled press in neutral countries
that we must turn for stories whose
stupidity passes the comprehension Of
man. For example. the good people of
Valencia, in Spain, are told by the local
ro-German paper, FL Dia, that Ameri-
On is on the point Of revolution against
the warlike clique which dominates the
situation in Washington and that the
army and navy themselves are riddled
with dfsaffection. The sublimest piece

of what happened. FL Dia starts Out

cycles for all the cavalry horses on the
Mexican border, as being more eff

In Florida cities 80 per cent of the
delivery of all goods is by bicycle and
merchants claim that one colored boy
and a bicycle will deliver more goods
in day than a delivery automobile,
while the colored boy wastes no gaso-
line, uses up very little rubber and the
bicycle costs one tenth that of the
cheapest automobile and seldom needs
repair.
