HOW TO KEEP
WELL :
Or. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor OF "HEALTH"
WHO SHOULD DRIVE
AUTOMOBILES?
q. 1925. western Newspaper Union

iMHEN you get on railroad' train
and roll into your pullman berth,
you go to sleep with perfect confidence
in the intelligence and ability Of the
man at the throttle. You know that
the engineer of a passenger train Is
sure to be a tried and tested employee
Of years of training and experience.
You know that his eyes and his nerves
and his heart have been examined and
tested, that he does not befuddle his
brain with whisky or drugs and that
his ability to think clearly and act
promptly in an emergency has been
proven.
This was not always true. In the
early years of railroad building, many
accidents were due to unfit men in the
engine cab But gradually it was
learned. often by costly mistakes, that
the safe and successful engineer must
be man with keen and perfect vision
and with nerves and muscles always
under control.
But new method Of travel has de-
veloped in the last 20 years. There are
today over 100000 motor cars in this
country. Travelling as fast as the
average train, carrying every day many
times more passengers than all the
railroads putstogether, automobiles are
today far more dangerous to life than
railroad trains. This is shown by the
large number of people killed every
year by autos, as compared to the COM
paratively small number of lives lost
by railroad accidents.
We are just beginning to realize that
the same qualities of mind and body
are required to drive an auto as to
run a steam engine.
Before the World war, practical bust
ness men had a marked contempt for
scientific men. They were all right In
lecture rooms and laboratories, but
they had no connection with everyday
business matters. The physical and
mental tests used in classifying and
sosting the men in the draft opened
the eyes Of many captains of industry.
The other day the management OF
the Yellow Cab company asked Prof.
n. d. OIlOW VI NOTtuWGSteEu uAAfCtSiAJ
to apply psychological tests to their
5000 cab drivers to determine If any
o. them were unsuite6 for work as
chauffeurs. Professor Snow used three
tests to determine the mental alert
ness. rapidity of nerve and muscle re-
actions and sensQry acuteness Of these
then. He reported that is per cent OF
the Oldest drivers in the employ of the
company were untitled to drive cabs
and should be given inside jobs or dis
missed The officials were skeptical
and to prove that the psychologist was
wrong, they checked up the record OF
each man. They found that the Is per
cent of drivers pronounced unfit were
responsible for 4S per cent of all their
accidents.
Do you know that the driver Of the
car in which you ride has keen eyes,
steady nerves and muscles which act
Immediately to meet an emergency?
If you don't, keep out of his car. Do
you know that you are fit to drive a
car yourself? If you don't, find out or
let someone else drive.

Governor RItchie As SAME.

Governor Richie, in his annual role
of Santa played host to the children
Of Annapolis
To be sure he didn't come dressed
in the traditional garb of red and
white. or sport specially cultivated
crop of snowy whiskers, but the 1900
children who attended his theatre
party had opportunity to shake his
hand, swap political ideas and register
any complaints they've had under
their bonnets for the last year. They
voted that, for once, costume made no
difference. Some disbelievers in the
Christmas. saint confessed proudly to
reporters their status as "pagans,' and
explained they'd seen half-dozen
Santas of assorted sizes during the
last week, anyhow.

REMOVING WRINKLES
BY PARAFFIN

NEWSPAPER dispatches from Los
~ Angeles state that beauty doctor
has disappeared following the death OF
one of her patients. The doctor" per-
formed some operation on the woman's
face to remove wrinkles. Unfortunate
ly, infection followed and the opera
ton removed the patient, wrinkles and
all.
What the operation was we do not
know. Several methods have been in
vented for removing wrinkles. One is
the injection of paraffin. Paraffin has
been used in facial surgery for over
20 years. 1t is of great value, for in
stance, in repairing a broken nose or
in building up fallen bridge of the
nose. The melted paraffin is injected
By syringe under the skin, filling out
the sunken space. While it is soft,
it can be nodded into the exact shape
desired Then some beauty doctor got
the bright idea, that paraffin injected
into the cheeks would fill them out
and, by stretching the skin, would pull
out the wrinkles, just as blowing up
toy balloon stretches the rubber bag
and makes it smooth and round.
Paraffin was supposed to be harmless.
The operation was only needle prick.
Many women who wanted plump
cheeks without wrinkles had them
pumped full of paraffin, hoping that
they'd look youthful and lovely once
more Since then. most of them have
been wishing they hadn't and trying to
find someone who could dig the hard
ened wax out OF their cheeks.
The trouble is that, after the wax
is injected, it hardens and the pressure
stops the blood supply. Tine cheeks
are plump, alas sometimes they are too
plump Int the skin over the mass of
parafiin is bloodless and dry. 1t looks
like. and really is dead skin. II can
be covered with rouge and powder, hut
II has no color ar vitality. II is es-
pecially liable to infection. having no
resistance. The parafiin may melt and
ones cheek run down into ones neck,
which is most unpleasant
Don't be fooled by enticing adver-
Using or foolish friends. YOn can't
buy good complexion in drug store
or beauty parlor. Fresh air, pure
water inside and out, good soap, sim.
pie food and plenty of outdoor exer
else and 0pen-air sleep will bring bet
ter results and no regrets.

Oyster Shipment Plan.

Chesapeake Bay oysters next year
may be shipped to inland cities with
the certification of the Maryland State
Board of Health that they are taken
from waters wholly free from any sort
of pollution. This was suggested at a
meeting Of the committee appointed
recently to make recommendations
next month to the State Board of
Health in regard to the control Of
sewage disposal and pollution in tide
water towns.
The committee urged a survey of
the oyster locations of the bay to de-
termine the purity of the water.

Poultry Disease is Less viruIent.

The poultry throat disease, or "fiu,"
is reported to be growing less virulent
among Maryland flocks.. Some of the
finest prize stock of the State, raised
in coops that are up to the highest
standard of sanitary construction,
have fallen prey to the disease. The
losses have been borne by individuals
without calling on the State Board
of Agriculture for assistance.
The sick fowls have been kept away
from the others, and thus results have
been minimized. Most of those that
showed any of the effects have died
finally. The embargo on live poultry
is being continued.

STATE AZ Network OF Bus system.

Maryland In the next few years will
become network Of freight and pas
senger auto lines, operated by large
companies, Transportation Engineer
Wickes of the public service commits
sion predicted.
Independent operators are rapidly
being bought out by larger companies,
he said. The Blue Ridge Transports
ton Company has recently bought all
Baltimore-Frederick lines, he said, and
is planning further expansions.
Il expect to see bus territory in the
state divided up between three or four
big companies Wickes said. 1.-THE
business is undergoing the same sort
of evolution undergone by all other
forms of public utility"
He said railroads which three or
four years ago scoffed at the '.bus
menace" are now fully awake to it.
Every application for bus line,
or a freight-truck line, is now being
opposed by the railroads. Wickes
said.
He said many roads were studying
possibilities Of installing bus and
truck feeders" to supply them with
business, and pointed to the Boston G.
Maine R. R., which has just aban-
doned 1000 miles of track. substitute

All applications are studied on their
merits, Wickes said, and no permits
are issued unless there is public need
for the service. For instance, he said,
