AUTO DRIVING is
RIGHT EXERCISE
San Francisco Physician Sees
Not Only Physical, But
Mental Benefits.
IS STARTLING HYPOTHESIS
Takes Exception to often Repeated
objection That General Use of
Motors Is Deteriorating-
Muscles Developed.

That motoring is probably the finest
form of exercise for the average man
and woman of today is a somewhat
startling hypothesis. Most Of us do not
consider the driving of motorcar in
the light of exercise at all. In fact
one frequently hears regret expressed
that the general use of motor vehicles
has interfered with habits Of exercise
that are important to our natural we'll
being.
A San Francisco physician takes ex-
ception to this view Of motorcar driv-
ing and shows that instead 1t is posi-
lively beneficial. He Classics its bene-
fits under three heads-physical, men,
tai, and what he terms volitional.
Essential Merit.
'Tt Is the muscles of the arms, to-
gether with those of the chest and
abdomen, that pre-eminently and habit
ually suffer-" he says. Here we find
lack of development, softness, tlabbi-
ness and the accumulation of unwhole-
some fat. And it is precisely here that
the steering wheel of the car may come
to the rescue. 1t is true that the
handling of the wheel, particularly If
the car is small, is not very siren
uous form of exercise. but that, in
stead of being defect, is an essential
merit.
"Their best interests are met by
precisely the kind Of efforts that the
steering wheel, supplemented by the
handling of the gear and brake levers,
requires, namely, mild but persistent
action, which involves, first and last,
virtually all the muscles of the arms,
chest and abdomen.
Benefits Derived.
"When you drive a car 40 or so
miles over average American roads
or fraction Of that distance In the
city, you give your arms and torso a
course of purposeful calisthenics that
muscles, arteries and heart, and indi-
rectly, but no less significantly, to the
benefit of your digestive apparatus, and
the organs Of elimination, and blood
and nervous systems"
The doctor proceeds to point out
that, in addition to the exercise, the
motorist has been in the open air, buff
feting the winds, inhaling ample guam
titles of oxygen to meet the increased
need Of the accelerated currents of
blood corpuscles, and that digestion
and assimilation are thereby facili.
tated and he toxic products accumu.
lated through former inaction are in
increased measure oxidized and elm
mated.

haul at either end Of the rail and wa.
ter routes-that Is, in haulage BY
highway. There are tremendous pos
sibilities in savings in this direction.
Careful investigation by the depart
ment Of agriculture last year show
that haulage from farms to shipping
points costs less than half as much
by motor truck as by horse and wagon,
even under present conditions of the
highways. Thus, the average cost of
hauling wheat by wagon was 80 cents
ton for each mile, while the cost
with motor trucks was only Is cents;
to haul corn by wagon cost 33 cents.
per ton-mile as against Is cents by
truck, and to haul cotton by wagon
cost 4S cents compared with IS cents
by motor truck.
TraiIers Lower Rates.
Even these comparatively low rates.
for hauling with motor trucks can
be cut in half by the general use of
trailers, since the hauling capacity
of a truck can be doubled or even
tripled in many cases by towing one.

Avoid sudden stops.
Repair cuts promptly.
Don't "hog" the road.
Consider the man in the other car.
Always keep your car under perfect
control.
Don't "cut in" short after passing
vehicle.
Remove skid chains as soon as pos
sible after a rain.
Dust inside of castings with tale be-
fore inserting tubes.
Don't attempt to run the car on
the electric starter.
Stop when there is an accident,
whether 1t is your fault or not, and
tender all assistance possible.

the effect of moving picture Of those
ancient days embalmed in stone as if
by some sudden enchantment.
History Wrought In Stone.
Chapter by chapter the entire his
tory of the Dacian campaigns is re-
vealed, with a continuity of thought
and precision of historical facts and
verify of detail that are marvellous.
The building of bridges, the natural
difficulties Of the country in which
the wars were fought, the methods of
siege and storm, advance and at
tack by land and river, in open field
and against walled cities, the details
of ancient military engineering, cos
tune, arms and all implements of
war, all these things are wrought there
with such a wonderful fertility of de-
sign and dramatic vigor of expression
as to form a veritable encyclopedia
of Roman warfare of that period.
The whole Of the column was origi-
nally covered with gold and color.
Brilliant crimson, blue and yellow were
largely used for the reliefs forming
the main shaft and must have pre-.
sented an appearance Of barbaric
splendor in the days of their pristine
chromatic glory. Nor was this drama
in stone enacted with it's Hamlet left
out. The figure of Trajan is every
where with predominant appeal. The
idealized emperor is presented under
all sorts of conditions that were cal
culated to rebound to his glory, as
the warrior leading his hosts, as the
master engineer directing the mechan-
ical constructions, as a leader of scout
ing forces, as soldier sharing the
hard lot Of his fellow soldiers, as the

Judge E. j. Hart, Of the Ellaville
City court, came to Americus this
morning and presided long enough to
receive pleas Of guilty from two ne
gro miscreants and pass sentence.
Willie Lee Leonard admitted tax
ing a small quantity of candy from
a freight shipment at the Central Of
Georgia station and his attorney, Cor
don Howell, succeeded in getting him
off with fine of $40, including costs.
Verdell Hicks, better known as

II months on the chain gang on
plea of guilty of cheating and swindl-
". He had been employed by E. c.
Parker and had received an advance
of $60.20 from Mr.. Parker, and forth
with found another place of employ
ment, whereupon Mr.. Parker took out
warrant. He decided he would
take the chaingang sentence, he being
acquainted with the gang from a
previous experience.

WEEVIL POISON
ROUTS PEST ON
HILL TEST ACRE

Advocates of the use of calcium
arsenate in combating boil weevil
who have been watching various tests
going on in this county have had
their faith in its efficiency greatly
strengthened by the experience Of
W. j. Hill, of Cobb, who besides being
postmaster is planter of consider
able proportions.
A few weeks ago Mr. Hill set
apart an area of l IA acres in a
cotton field which he undertook to
treat with calcium arsenate accord
ing to directions of government ex
perimenters. He has made four ap-
plications, and reports to George O..
Marshall, county farm agent, that,
whereas the acre and quarter un-
der treatment is practically free
from weevils, the remainder Of the
field is badly infested.
Much of the cotton which has not
been treated for boil weevil-and
that is most of the cotton-is report
ed from various parts of Sumter
county to be suffering badly, the
number of weevils having geratly
increased during the recent prolong-
ed wet period. In many fields the
ground is well covered with squares
which the plants have shed, practi-
cally all of which, on examination, are
shown to contain weevil larvae. A
number of fields which obtained early
starts. however, are showing less evil
results from weevils and observers
says that, despite the ravages of the
insect, at least half crop of cotton
will be made here this fall.

Would Let League Cove
nant Stay, With
Reservations
CALLS ARTICLE x
TROUBLE BREEDER
Sets Forth Four Reser-
vations He Would
Suggest

WASHINGTON July 28-(By AS
scciated Press )-Charles E. Hughes
republican candidate in the last pres
idential election has drawn up a res
olution which he offers for adoption
by the United States senate consent
ing to the inclusion of the League of
Nations covenant in the peace treaty
but suggesting four reservations to
prevent sacrificing the essential in
terests of the United States"
This became known today when
correspondence between Mr.. Hughes
and Senator Frederick Hale, repub-
Hcan, of Maine, dealing with ratifi-
catin of the treaty, was made pub
lie.
While finding antiquities in Arti-
cles | and XIV, dealing respectively
with withdrawal from the League
and questions of purely domestic
nature, Mr.. Hughes takes chief ex-
ception of Articles XXI and x, which
concern the Monroe Doctrine and IL
ability of the United States to pro-
vide armed forces to protect other
members of the league.
The descriptive phrase" employed
in connection with the Monroe Doc
trine is said by Mr.. Hughes to be
inaccurate" while Article X is
branded by him as trouble breed
er" which if not eliminated should
be thoroughly interpreted. Any res
ervations" Mr.. Hughes added, should
be incorporated in "the instrument
of ratification, to make it valid, but
the fact that such reservations are
made should not lead to the assump-
ton that the treaty would fail or
the peace conference would have to
resume operations.
Summarized Mr.. Hughes four re-
servations are:
First, that on giving notice of its
intention to withdraw from the
league a power shall cease to be a
member or subject to the obligations
of the covenant at the time specified
in the notice, but that such withdraw
al shall not release that power from
debt or liability thereto incurred.
Second, that questions such as i'm
migration or import duties which are
solely within domestic jurisdiction,
shall not be submitted for consider
alton or action by the league.
Third, that the United States shall
not relinquish its traditional attitude
toward purely American questions,
which shall not be subject to juris-
diction of the league, leaving this
country free to oppose acquisition by
any non-American country or terri
tory in the western hemisphere.
Fourth, that under Article X, the
United States shall assume no obli-
CATION to undertake any military ex-
petition or employ it's armed forces
on land or sea unless such action is
authorized by congress.
