HOW. TO KEEP WELL
By DR. HUGH 8. OUMMING
surgeon General. United States Public Health Service
“'HO MUST LEARN HOW
TO WADE.
Ordinarily it is reserved for ill-
fonts to learn to walk. However.
there appears, too, an imminent need
for adults to learn as well, for the
increasing use of motor cars and
other forms of rapid transportation
has lessened the use of legs until
there appears to be some danger of
forgetting their function in the
process of locomotion.
That waiking‘is falling into disuse
is greatly to be regretted for it is
exercise. dihersion and assistance in
health maintenance.
Any doubt that may exist in one‘s
mind as to the unpopulerity of walk-
ing may be dispelled by noting the
small number of pedestrians. On
some popular boulevards few if any
persons on foot are to be seen while
hundreds of motor cars hurtlc by.
their occupants iolllng in their seats
and gesing lndoisntly upon the
rapidly passing scenery.
With the advent of rspid’Jndivid-
ual transportation walking for pleas-
ure has fallen largely into the dis-
card. Even sch lohildren ride short
distances to hoot when the trip
could be made advantageously by
walking. Children without means of
transportation are acquiring t h e
habit of spending 15 or more min~
utes on a street corner soliciting
ride when the same time expended
in hiking would enable them to
reach school quickly and afford
moderate exercise.
