II knew you and you knew me,
How little trouble there would be,
We pass each other on the street
But just come out and let us meet

And treat his neighbor on the square;
But he may not quite understand
Why you don't take him by the hand

And we must hustle in the race;
For social hours some are not free
The SIX days, but ALL should be,

We want to push good things along
And We can help some if we're strong
Al church next Sunday.

But push and pull and boost and boom
And use up all the standing room

Science

The American Medical Association
and the National Health Council have
started a campaign urging every man,
woman and child in the United States
to be examined physically once a year
on their birthdays. All physicians will
receive a plan for the purpose of sys-
tematizing the examinations. There
have been many plans even for com
pulsory physical examinations. These
have failed. but a plan urging volun-
tary examinations meets with increas-
ing favor. Opposition to anything
compulsory along this line is sup
ported by certain able scientists, espe-
cially those familiar with psychology
and sociology. They point out that
compulsion in any course of conduct
never should be used until education
has failed and that intelligent CO.
operation is essential in ali plans for
public health

1T is EASY
TO TRAVEL
IN LONDON
Traffic in British Capital Is
Well Regulated by
Police,
BY JOHN w. RAPER.

N LONDON: This is an easy
city in which to get around.
- There are three traffic systems;
the subway, the motor bus and street
cars owned and operated by the city
government, of no great mileage and
of not any Importance in the Lon
doner's life, and subway and motor
bus. The subway system is well
planned and efficiently operated and
is the best means of travel for any
distance.
But the motor bus is the thing. Last
year the motor buses carried S47 ,000.-
900 passengers. They cover complete
ly every part Of the city where there
is a natural flow Of travel. No mat
ter where you wish to go you can
reach the point by bus.
While the bus is a solid-tired affair
that gives you shaking, it is the
handiest thing in the world; you can
sit on top IN the open and you cover
ground with surprising speed The
drivers have a skill that is almost
uncanny.
Traffic Handled Easily

two, one. in the Strand and one in

could see that for at least half a
mile the street was soudly packed
with vehicles.

there could be anything else in the
streets, but they were only a small
part OF it,
Not only is the efficiency with which
London traffic is handled astonishing,
but likewise the quiet, easy manner n
which it is done. The police direct
It without making any fuss of the Job.
You never hear anybody bawled out.
If a policeman has anything to
say to driver he does 1t quietly. 1t
isn't often that he has to say any
thing. Everybody obeys with the
alacrity OF a soldier Once In a while
you hear driver yell out something
to another one, but it's never row.
Nobody Gets Peevish
In jam nobody becomes impa.
tlent or peeved. Everybody waits
calmly, knowing that something that
couldn't be prevented has tied up
traffic. and that just as soon as they
possibly can do it, the police will
have the line moving.
Accidents are rare. In the midst
OF tightly packed streets you will see
men and boys on bicycles and men
and boys with push carts, without
the slightest fear Of being run down
by a bus, taxi. auto truck. delivery
car or passenger auto.
