4] | Is your engine in good order? Don't block the traffic. THE TRAFFIC OF CIVILIZATION— DO YOU BLOCK IT, OR SPEED IT ALONG By CYNTHIA GR We all know what it means to block the traffic. We can see it happen any night on Second ave, and Pike st., about 6 o'clock, when somebody's engine takes a notion to be temperamental and quits right in the middle of the block. "It doesn’t matter how many cars are behind the disabled car. They're all held up by that one balky engine. But we don't necessarily have to own a car to block the traffic. We're in a monstrous procession right now that has been rading for so many years that we can’t count them,.and it 18 just as possible for @ne of us to block the traffic in that procession as it is for the sputtering engine of a car to keep -60 cars waiting behind it. . Whatever tends to turn our energies or that of the public ‘away from those pursuits which advance ouselves or the race that is blocking the traffic of civilization. Every day that is lost in sickness means a minute delay of the procession of life. A headache may seem a very trivial atter, but a headache takes away its own toll of the energy that should be put into worth-while effort. _. Every doctor bill that we pay is just so much money that ts diverted away from the business of living. Every discovery tn science or hygiene which shows us how we must live to avvid ill health is helping this great procession of life to move at a faster pace. It is keeping engines from balking and finally breaking down. Thousands of dollars are spent every year for the upkeep of our prisons where those whose unsocial instincts are such ona are a menace to the social order and must be segre- ‘gated. Such money must come from the public purse. That means that the prisoner not only is blocking his own life procession, ‘but he is taking money which should be expended in institu- tions for the furthering of our knowledge to keep him from injuring the rest of the world. How much preventable blindness have we? How much ‘preventable insanity? How much preventable poverty? | Blindness, insanity, sickness, poverty, criminality—they ‘are ail blocking the traffic of civilization, and whatever can be done to prevent them from existing—that will also speed ‘up this slow-creeping procession of life. /Takes Exception to | W en's Bathing Suits Dear Miss Grey: There has been | @ wide and varied discussion .about the downfall of men from association With our sex in abreaviated clothes.
