CAR DRIVING HARD ON FEET
Use Of Accelerator Causes "Short
Circuit" Of Pedal Nerves or "Motor
Foot" II Is Said.

When car owners return from their
summer vacation many of them re-
turn limping. A new summer cpl
demic is at large in the ranks of vaca-
tionists.
The new ailment has been given the
popular name of motor foot" In the
language of surgical chiropody 1t Is in
dexed and classified under the name
Of "metatarsal displacement"
Continuous motoring is the cause
of the ailment. 1t is a right foot
trouble caused by the continuous strain
occasioned by long motor trips when
the driver keeps his foot in the strained
position required by the use Of car
accelerator
This position causes a displacement
of the metatarsal bones which In turn
causes them, in motor language, to
"short" the nerves of that part of the
foot. This in turn is the answer for
the pain that accompanies the dis
tinction of possessing motor foot"
motor foot" not only makes walk
ing painful, but practically eliminates
golf, tennis or any of the other popu-
lar forms of active recreation.

himself away. 1t seems that Johnnie
has held the prize for the champion
smoker of the club for ten years.
In the last week Johnnie has been
seen strolling around the room with
a detected, lost appearance and be-
tween his lips always the inevitable
cigarette. But 1t was never lighted.

he didn't volunteer any explanation, so
il wasn't explained until Jimmie Van

OYSTERS Have Many Enemies.


Between the planting and the har-
vest, an interval Of from two to FIVE
years, the oyster culturist assumes
many hazards. On the New England
coast, after all his material is down,
the tickle "set" may not appear, pos
sibly because at the critical time some
weather disturbance may have killed
the baby oysters while they were yet
swimming near the surface. In the
Gulf of Mexico the "set" may be SO
heavy that there is scant room for the
oysters to grow, and many die, while
those that are left are half starved
and misshapen from crowding. Even
when the little oysters or "spat," have
attached themselves In favorable num-
bers, their perils have just begun
They are never safe from other enc
mics until they fall into the hands OF
their arch foes.
