GOOD EXERCISE IS MOTORING
Physician Seems to Have Made Out a
Good Case for His Side of
Argument.

DIR. Henry Williams, in an article
In Motors, combats the theory that
motoring is reducing our opportunities
for exercise. He says its benefits are
hreefold-physical. mental and vo-
litional The buffeting of winds and
the inhalation of large quantities Of
oxygen stimulate digestion, assimila-
ton and excretion. This is true of
the person who merely sits, as well
as of him who drives. The latter. how
ever, benefits directly. Doctor Will
liams says: when you drive car
40 or so miles over average American
roads, or a fraction of that distance
in any city, you give your arms and
torso a course of purposeful calisthen-
les that rebounds directly to the bene-
fit of your muscles and arteries and
heart, and indirectly, but no less sig
nificantly, to the benefit Of your diges-
tive organs of elimination as well as
the nervous system"

FIRE .GHT CAR BROKE AWAY
Peculiar Happening Hailed as Some
thing Particularly New In His
tory of Rallroadinu.

The Erie railroad has demonstrated
the practicability Of a theory that a
| freight train may lose car from Its
midst and keep to its schedule with
Its crew in ignorance Of their loss, and
Ed Mott, of Goshen. the local histo-
rian, is happy.
For a generation Mott has been tell
quehanna in the winter Of 1855 with 10
cars of cattle. At Port Jervis one car
was missing. It had disappeared from
the middle of the train without leav-
ing broken couplings or other traces
Of the manner of its eJectment. Two
days later the missing car was found
In field near the track at Shohola
1t was empty. The cattle 1t had held
were recovered In Sullivan county.
New York. They had freed themselves
from the car and crossed the Delaware
river on the Ice.
Engineer Albert o. Roberts was
driving a train to New York last Sum
day morning. At West Tuxedo air
brake trouble led to the discovery that
the fourteenth car was missing. The
thirteenth and fifteenth cars had re-
coupled themselves. Search led to the
discovery of the missing car alongside
the track mile to the north.
The accident of Sunday was exactly |
the same as the one which Mott de- |
scribes as of sixty-odd years ago, ex-
cept that the modern form of brake :
caused the loss of car to be discov-
cred more quickly than was the case
in the old days, when the couplings |
were Of simple design and the brakes
were operated by hand.-New Haven

Another Statue.

With the unwilling of the figure of
Gen. William Shepherd in the commu-
nifty Of Westfeld, Mass, worthy fig
ure is added to the American popula-
ton Of revolutionary heroes whose
memory is perpetuated by a public
statue. General Shepherd, before the
Revolution, had taken part in the "Old
French war;" which justified Macau-
lay in saying that because Frederick
the Great had decided to rob neigh
Dor, fred men scalped each other by
the great lakes of North America" He
began as a private soldier and rose
to the rank Of lieutenant colonel under
Washington, and later commanded a
brigade under Lafayette. Individuals
have sometimes questioned the utility
of public statues; yet In this case, as
in many another, the statue defeats
the common forgetfulness Of past
deeds that has found expression In the
old saying, "Out Of sight out of mind"

ADVOCATES TOLL REPEAL
Senator Jones Would Allow Free
Passage to Vessels in Coast
wise Trade.

A proposition to permit the free
passage through the Panama canal of
all vessels engaged In the coastwise
trade has been made by senator Jones
of Washington.
The existing regulations favor for
eign ships is the contention raised.
The Jones amendment has no refer
c to ships engaged in ~trans-oceanic
traffic. This would limit the applica-
tion to American ships.
A former law exempting American
ships from the payment of tolls was
repealed when Great Britain raised
objections.
