Amer- ica is her best market and Japan is Why, I can remember—and I hope my readers can't—the time when I got off some sour cracks in this column about the bold hussies who had their hair bobbed, back in the days when hair, skirts and faces were positively required to be long. . Figures do not .lie, at least not nearly so much as they did in the days when it was a bit risque for a woman to ride a bicycle. Whatever fears we old fogy physicians may have had about the effects of all this change in the ways of womankind, the facts have proved that the modern article is superior in every respect to the 19th century woman. Notably more capable and efficient is the woman of today in child-bearing and child rearing. Physically she is a distinct improve- ment upon the woman of the past generation. Driving a car is precious little exer- cise. Havihg a car at her disposal even if she has enough spirit to drive it herself, is an unfortunate thing for a healthy woman. It would be much better for her to run many of her errands or go shopping or pay calls afoot, for part of the exercise she must get if she wishes to retain her youth and beauty. Oh, it is healthful, all right, to drive your car, that is, if you have no obséssions about air, sunshine, weath- er, drafts, etc. But after all, it is not exercise, and you cannot expect to keep trim and fit if you evade your daily stint of work, play, exercise. Walking, which was formerly demo- cratic and economical recreation and exercise, has become too expensive for folks of ordinary means. It takes two hours a day to walk six miles in ordi- nary city traffic. Six milés a day is the minimum essential to keep an or- dinary individual fairly fit. Riding a bicycle is quite as valuable can get approximately the same bene- your own. exercise as is daily walking, and you fit from an hour of riding that you get from two hours of walking. So if you can’t afford to walk, get a bike and do the best you can for your metabolism. Arrange with a group of congenial friends to ride together for mutual encouragement and protection. Bicycles are available everywhere for hourly rental, if you haven't one of Speaking of metabolism, how is the old metabolism anyway? A bit slow? Well, if you want to do something for it, we have a new edition of the Last Brady Symphony available now—send a dime and a stamped envelope bear- ing your address and your copy will be mailed to you. The Symphony is a series of exercises, described and pic- and sold it to the public without apol- ogy. rf . QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Radium for Cancer s Woman with cancer of cervix, un- der radium treatment. The doctor says the cancer has just started. Patient's friend, a trained nurse, writes her that radium does not cure, and that there is only one way and that is to have the womb removed at once. Patient feels better - since she had radium treatment. Does the nurse know more than the doctor? (H. W.) Answer—If the patient has confi- dence in her doctor there is no rea- son why she should not put the ques- tion to him and have the opinion and advice of one or more other physicians upon the method of treatment best for the case. She must not remain in doubt. Fit for Maternity? Tam about to be married. My older sister had a baby a few years ago and soon afterward went into tuberculosis. I have not been a bit well for the last four years. Do you suppose that if I were to have a child I would go the same way? (Miss B. J. R.) Answer—That is not the question. The question now is, are you fit to marry? Before you contract marriage you owe it as a duty to yourself, your intended husband and your offspring in future, to undergo one or @ series of careful examinations by your phy- scian, to make sure you have no tuber- culosis. When your doctor is satisfied you haven't the disease, then you can marry, live happily and have your family. Such prolonged intimate ex- Posure as you had, if your sister lived | with you, is the most likely way to catch tuberculosis. Only by careful examinations at intervals for several months can @ physician make sure you haven't the early stage of the disease. To marry without that assur- ance would be tragic and criminal.

IN i NEW YORK By PAUL HARRISON New York, June 21.—Thousands of out-of-town visitors see the New York public library each year, usually dis- tinguishing it from the post office by the stone lions, pigeons, fountains and groups of dowdy liberals who clutter the plaza. Some sight-seers go in to look about cursorily} thus getting themselves counted among the 4,200,- 000 people who enter there each year. But few ever see the inner workings of the library proper—the seven levels of thousands of stacks, two city blocks long, or the scores of skittering at- tendants, who can find and deliver any one of 3,608,429 books in an av- erage of seven minutes. Almost nobody, regular patrons in- cluded, ever meets Mr. Edwin H. An- derson, the director. He is very shy and quiet, as most 73-year-old librar- dans would be. About the only way to reach him is to register a com- Plaint about something. Two ladies complained at the same time one day and he received them together. One said the main reading room was too cold. The other declared it was hot and stuffy. Mr. Anderson had them escorted to different reading rooms. The only major quarrel that ever got into the newspapers was over a man who insisted on reading in his shirtsleeves. This is against the library rules, but the director inter- ceded for him because he was @ ser- jous scholar. Mr. Anderson is a scholar himself, and is always hope- fully going down to inquire about the Popularity of some book he has just read and admired. Usually he finds it hasn’t been taken out in years, and man in the ples DO YOU KNOW HIM? HORIZONTAL ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE 2 Who in the ble atar.
