THE AGE-OLD PASTIME

Annough IN the downtown districts of our cities the
SIDEWALKS are still crowded with pedestrians, it is probably true
Inat walking has become an obsolete pastime in America.
rushing In and out of stores in the shopping districts
isn't walking anyway, in the opinion of lovers of that form of
physical exercise.
w nave lost the feeling of leisure which in former DAYS
w 80 conducive to walking. Even in our motoring we seem
Z oe possessed OF the idea that we must hurry to get some
where' although we may have no particular destination in mind.
Al Enghshman who eve during his visit to this country spent
much Time In walking said of us that the pictures in periodicals
representing the occupants of automobiles reclining in luxury
and enjoying magnificent scenery did not depict us truly. That
Is not the way we cover the miles.
He was greatly amused over the fact that during his
walking tours he was frequently offered rides by motorists:
they do not seem to understand" he says, 'that a man on a
walking tour is not in need of vehicular conveyance. They act
as If the best thing about walking is giving it up and having
a ride"
Obviously the automobile does not permit of sauntering.
When the road is good, there comes the irresistible impulse to
make the most of it, which to nearly all drivers means anywhere
from 30 to 60 miles an hour. And consequently there is lacking
the opportunity for quiet enjoyment of the passing landscape;
and lacking too is the inducement for reflection and restful
meditation which walking either by ones self or with agreeable
companions, makes almost inevitable. In its own way motoring
has its pleasures, and on the whole they are no less than those
of walking. And perhaps in the stress of modern life it is
only natural that we should have taken to the thril-producing
form of exercise.

Discomfort SPELLS PROGRESS

In summer folks want to go North, to the mountains or the
seashore. In winter they are drawn to the tropics. People
living in the East talk about going West and natives of the
West believe the rainbow's end is in the East. People with
out automobiles g" would be" satisfied with a small car next
year" Every raise in salary suggests another.
This Unsuitable desire and discomfort, which is characteris-
tic of civilized peoples, is mans only inspiration for unceasing
accomplishment. Without it there would be no progress, no
scientific research, no inventions, no industrial or commercial
achievement, no religious or educational upliftment, neither
human ambitions nor ambition. In the tropics, where a gen.
erous nature guarantees existence without seEf-help there is
an intimation of what would result from the end of human
desire and discomfort.
Contentment is the objectionable sin on this side of the
Atlantic, unless it be indolent discomfort.
