deemed to have some magic power If prop
erly applied. The muscles had to be kneaded
just so and the Stroking done as scientifically
as If by a chiropractor, otherwise, Of course,
the fellow receiving the treatment would not
be at his best in the race to follow, and If the
rider happened to be in ten different races.
the sam rundown was administered each
time, and with the same amount Of care and
dexterity.
THE writer had frequent access to the train
- ing quarters and witnessed the rundown
performance many times. He recalls the COLI
ored boy, Dewey, who frequently gave a help
ing hand to such racers as needed his serv-
ices. as well as Pop Ringgold, who was
never more delighted than when acting as
trainer for Al Moran.
Moran and the writer were reared as boys
together in the same neighborhood, and 1t
was through him that he became interested
in the races at the Conduit road course. For
several seasons there was hardly a race which
took place there that he did not see.
Allen c.. Moran-or as he was early dubbed,
Jimmy" Moran-was for several years one
of Washington's crack riders. AS an amateur
and as a professional he specialized in no
particular distance. A sprint race or a dis
lance race of twenty-five miles was all the
same to him-he just loved to ride, and usually
brought hcme the bacon.
His first exhibition riding was done in the
autumn of 1896, when he established the
third-of-a-mile track record at International
Park in the fast time of AZ is seconds. Dur
ing the season of 1897 he captured the one
mile District amateur championship and COM

Us may seem all the more remarkable be-
c: zee then there was no such thing as an

:rctorman rather tantalizingly encouraged the
race as he drew alongside and baited us to
further energy, and the challenge was &C
ceptcd.
On we sped at breakneck speed, until, fin
ally. in going down one of the hills, the
wheels were going so fast that the lady men,
toned completely lost her pedals, when the
writer caught hold of the center Of the han
dlebars and pulled her on to victory-but he
has never forgotten what might have hap
pened If either wheel had struck a loose
stone and caused a spill; no doubt 1t would
have been painful.
THIS was the period of the tandem bicycle,
- when every fellow who could afford it took
his sweetie for a ride on a bicycle built for
two. 1t unquestionably inspired the song that
was SO popu.cr many years ago, and which
you no doubt happened to sing. The chorus
went something like this:
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do;
I'm half crazy, all for the love of you;
1t can't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage,
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
OF a bicycle built for two"
One thought the writer has always had is
that the old-time bicycle rider should make
the best automobile driver. He more keenly
understands just how to take the turns. He
has wiped up the street many times and
broken out the knees of his trousers, espe-
cially when the streets were wet and he hap
psned to get too far off of his equilibrium.
He should be a better judge of speed and a
better judge of distance, and his reckless
stunts of by-gone days should make him q
much more alert and a superior driver in
every way to those who have not expert
enced this early and valuable training.

were of bare plain boards and might have
answered just as we'll for coal bins as for
training quarters. However, no attention was
ever paid to this, as every ones mind was on
the races, too. Another thing which seemed
foremost in the boys minds, rather than their
comfort or the surrounding conditions, was
the special kind of rundown that was being
used upon them.
Each trainer had his own special ointment
or liniment, the formula Of which was re-

OF course, the most interesting things which
took place in the bicycling line in the Sec
ond half of the nineties were the bicycle races
at the international Athletic Park and the
road races on the Conduit road
The bicycle park was about a block to the
south Of the Conduit road and just this side
OF the District line. Since then a change has
taken place in this neighborhood, and where
the ne-third-mile track was once located now
are bungalows and cottages, and it might be
difficult to tell the exact area included in
the park property, but at least its approxi-
mate location is still clear in the minds Of
those VIII enjoyed this wholesome sport, either
as participants or merely as spectators.
international Athletic Park was quite likely
built and owned by William C. Clark of Clark
Bros, real estate dealers of this city, who had
their Offices at COS Thirteenth street northwest,
a site now occupied by the Homer Build
ing, and their home was on the Conduit road,
known as Castleview. From the beginning
the track was only a dirt affair; very good
when dry and very bad when wet. Later
on it was turned into a board track and
races continued there both during the daytime
and at night, before it was finally given up.
The grandstand was a good-sized frame
structure, and all things considered the park
was satisfactory for the time and purpose,
except possibly for the training quarters, which
were located under the grandstand. These

During the days Of the bicycle the only
competition the rider had was the horse
drawn vehicles, and whenever a collision oc-
Cured, most naturally the rider and his wheel
game off second best. For this very logical
reason, the bicyclist became proficient in avoid
ing accidents which sometimes resulted dis
astrouSly. This habit-or science, if you wish
to put it that way stands him in good stead
today, whenever everything seems to be in one
mad rush and so many automobile drivers ap-
pear to be dead bent on committing homicide
or suicide, or maybe both.
To the veteran cyclst, the present laxity
Of law enforcement against the bicyclist is
amusing. Many of the things We were not
permitted to do he now apparently does with
impunity. Years gone by each bicycle had to
be equipped with a bell, a lamp, and the
handlebars could not have a drop of over
four inches below the center Of the seat.

ANALYSIS IF NE.
 GIVEN ID COUNCIL
Favorable and UniaVOrabIe FaC-
 tors in Business Future

Boston, Nov. 22.-Diyersification in industry is the most favorable factor contributing 10 the future prosperity and business development of New England, according to Earl WRitehOfne in a report to the New England council in session here. Mir Nhitehorne, assistant vice president of the McGraW-Hill Publishing Co. based his findings on a survey made ny editors of the company's maga- zines recently.
 Eleven factors favorable to New England were reported as follows:
 We find in New England-as We had eXpected-much to move us to enthusiastic Commendation. The dlFersisication, the stability, the yiliiity and the enterprise of your leading industrials can hardly be appreciated without such a compar- atiSe eyaluatiOn as We have made. New England is called conservative That is but natural because it's in- dCstries and it's traditions are older and more firmly grounded than elsewhere 2 in America, But nowhere in this country are there finer eX- amples of the most advanced indus trial practice than We have found right here in your six state.
 For clarity l will list the maiol favorable factors
 Your diyersification is undoubt- edly the outstanding impression we bring back from the trip, Your sta Istics tell the story, but statistics lack the force of observation. Not only as a section does New England possess an economic balance in the VI riety of your large industrial ac- 1iFities in brass and copper. in tex tiles, in machines tools. in shoes. in paper. in fisheries and the rest. but 2 surprising proportion of New Eng land industrial cities are in them selves highly diversified and trend ing steadily in that direction.
 New England has a traditional pride in it's quality Of product, it's ex- ceilence Of workmanship. and through it's generations of develop ment has reared race of skilled. industrial labor that forms a great reservoir Of vital wealth, a priceless asset in many localities and crafts.
 There is evidence of 6 progress sive mental fleXibility in New Eng land industrial management in the presence of many younger execu- tlves who sense the growing inn portance of mechanization. of ad- l personnel policies, of accur- i ate market knowledge for the guid- |

acter. Together they reflect pro- gressive industrial leadership, indi- eating that the spirit of moderniza- tion has invigorated New England as it has the other sections of the country. Clearly genius is at work
 and most of your industries are un- deniably busy and pdospcrous.
 Nine UnfayOrable Factors The surprise to us lay in the
 fact that in the presence of such conspicuous examples of enterprise
 and progress. we found among the
 plants We visited so many industries ! that have failed to mOdcrnize and
 are suffering the costly economic
 blight of partial obsoIescence. Of course, in any section it is likewise i true that the most modern plants are in the minority. There are al i ways a few leaders who have seized 1 upon the most advanced ideas and excel in their efficiencies, while the others trail until the pressure of q more intelligent competition con- i pels them to reform their outWorn practices
 Nine unfavorable factors are:
 "NeW England industry is carry ing staggering burden of old buildings. Many date back niore than 50 years and were construct cd long and narrow 10 provide day light. They are not adapted to the efficient arrangement of modern machinery nor to present ideas of materials handling There is too much in and out and up and down. Too many are crowded into the center of congested districts when the value Of land is high. It would pay better to erect new buildings on the fringe Of town than 10 suffer longer the costs entailcd by using ill-adaptcd structures,
 Many of the older industries are clinglnE to obsolete equipment be- cause it has been written off and represents no book investment. They are denying themselves the practical economies of new equip ment that is worth infinitely more. We saw, in many cases, forests of overhead belting. heavy friction load. labor wasting old machinery and ancient power plants that are an unacceptable drag on profits.
 "The lighting Of New England factories appeared to us to be dis tressingly bad, despite q few ex- amples Of the most advanced in- dustrial illumination. Great fhoors Of machinery spotted only with dirty lamps in inefficient or i'm provised ret1ectors at the tool, sup ported by no adequate general il- ! illumination is a common condition. l With this dark halls and stairways | come as a matter of course. It all | takes an inevitable toll in accidents, | slow speed and spoilage of mater ials.
 AS natural attendant Of. poor lighting, we saw many cases of bad poorly arr, nged cluttered aisles, neglect of ventilation, painting, cleaning

ance Of production and of the value
 Of neW ideas from other fields.
 The use of specialized eQuipmen, ] has reached forward position ir i New England, much of it the pro. duet of your inherent Yankee in. 1 senuity and much Of it of western manufacture. Many plants are out. standing for the extent to which 1 they have developed automatic ma. chinery and efficient methods oI handling materials through the flow Of parts and progressive assembly
 We found several cases of con- splcuous progress iu the application Of research to the utilization of by products and the development of markets, that rate well with the best practice in the development of this important new resource Of industry We found some examples of the
 most advanced personnel work in the form Of well organized trade schools, shop councils sanitary and hospital facilities and recreational provisions,
 The prosperity of New England industrial workers was conspicuous ly atteSted at many plants by the presence Of hundreds of private automobiles parked within the grounds and the fact that from % to 90 per cent of the personnel there were rlIIng to and from work in their oWn cars There is further evil dence, of course, in the recently published fact that New England savings oank deposits show increase per capita against a general record of reduction.
 Figures presented at this meet ing show that despite the troubles of the textile industry you have q net gain in number of industries and employees and unemployment is no worse than in other areas. This indicates a high capacity to absorb released labor and denotes a splen- did recuperatiye power.
 Most New England industries are constructing their new buildings ac- cording to modern practice and ap- plying the economic advantages of well arranged machinery, good lighting, ventilation and sanitation, and the mechanical conveyance of 
 Railway transportation receives almost universal Commendaton the area. There are, of course, some situations where fur ther relief is considered necessary, but the reorganization of New Eng land freight service that has been effected in recent years. provides a resource for industrial development that is locally acknowledged and to a striking degree.
 Electric power has kept pace with the growth Of New England in- dustries and by the development of both hydro and steam generation and the interconnection Of systems affords as progressive a service as IS available in any section of the 1 country and at favorable rates.
 T appreciate that none of these | observations is startling in char

and modern sanitary facilities, and
 poor provision for the care of en-
 ployes clothing.
 This kind of an atmosphere na-
 turally reacts against vigilance in
 safety work. Many alert plants are i conducting saiety competitions.
 Many apparently do no more than
 expose safety signs There is q
 noticeable lack, however, of the
 practical safeguards applied 10 ma chimes, belts and tools that must be 1 the backbone Of all accident pre-
 vention work,
 Much hard work still fingers that can be eliminated by mechani- | zation. The use of modern methods
 for material handling while ingen- iously developed in some plants is ! in general in a backward state through lack Of equipment and planning.
 Opportunity also exists in the majority of the plants visited for the development of more continuous flow of work and progressive as- sembly by the use of conveyors and other devices. This feature is high ly perfected in some plants but ne- glected in many more.
 There appears to be a tendency toward excessive inventory, in some lines of manufacture. because of lack of more vision in production scheduling, and there is considerable opportunity for simplifcation through the elimination of excess and duplicating varieties of pro- duct
 "Becausc Of the age of many of your industrial institutions and the traditions that have grown up both with the management and the workers. some Of whom have fol- lowed their fathers into the plant. human relations are in places way behind the times. Working condi- tions, personnel policies, and an in herited attitude Of paternaism are apparently taken as a matter of course by both labor and manage mcnt. This reflects itself in many ways-long hours of work, poor provision for the safety and com. fort of workers. crude methods of hiring and firing and other sources of industrial unhappincss that write themselves plain in terms of bad morale and low returns on the payroll"
