This was the essence of short talk on the reasons why one should ride a bicycle, which Lloyd Itamsden ( J - ot head or chst aretnort easily SS-0 t tiMWd wrternally with gavo a Statesman representative. A certain dealer of Mr. Rams den's acquaintance was one day watching; the crowds of children going home from school when he was impressed by the number ot boys that had skinny underdevel oped legs. This dealer conceived the idea of holding a sort of cau cus to find how the boys who rode bicycles compared with the ones who did not.- It is interesting to note tliat in practically every case the boy who "rode a bicycle show ed much better physics develop ment than the one who did not. Sir. Itam&den also mentioned the fact that a bicycle would in a short time pay for itself in saving depreciation on a cart left setting out in the elements. Another thing that Mr. Rams den especially mentioned was the time savingt the? bicycle. Many times that one is In a hurry he can take a bicycle and be there while he would be cranking a car.

Scott, local bicycle and motor-. cycle dealer.; Many business menf clerks and V office workers ride street cars to their work and do not stop to consider that their bodies need a little physical ex ercise. It would ; not do for peo- nle of this type to take strenuous exercise but the easy, free sensa tion that accompanies the riding- of a good bicycle makes this form of exertion a delight. ,. . "You can save money by riding a bicvele rather than a street car. and In addition to this you are always free to go when you want to " said Mr. Scott, when com menting on the virtues of bicycl ing. ."More and more thoughtful men are Tiding . bicycles , ihorae f rom their work so that they can take advantage of the long : evenings by working in the garden." ' ities, which was six less than for the nrevious year. Thirty people were asphyxiated; 27 died from falls, 20 were burned to deain; 10 were shot, and 9 died In street car accidents. The one bicycle ac cident occurred at the bottom of the somewhat lengthy list, the grand total for which was 559 deaths. BETTER. SERVICE GIVEN FROM AMERICAN MAKES Consul C. S. Marsh, Progreso, reports to the department of com merce that there are something over 3000 bicycles in Yucatan, al though due to the general ousineus depression of the past two yea'-s, sales of bicycles have been some what curtailed.,; More than 90 per cent of the bicycles sold in Yuca tan are of American origin. This Is due to the fact tliat American makes give better service than the few bicycles of English and Ger man makes which are on the mar ket and also repair , parts can be secured much more easily. Nickel plated frames are the most popu Dullard, vice-president of the Bul lard Machine Tool company. Bridgeport. Conn., "due to the fact that we consider it a saving proposition, saving steps as well as money. A number of our men find their bicycles, if not an abso lute essential, certainly a very great convenience in getting to and going from their work." - BICYCLES SAFE The report of the chief coroner for the city of Toronto. Dr. G. n rah am. for accidental and other deaths in the city during 1923 forms strong support for the argu ment that bicycling Is a safe pas tiniA even in a city of good size. The statistics for the year show TiiMniv how each accident occur red A in which a fatality resulted, and the figures give only one death as a fatality wnn nicycies or motorcycles. .

The interest that has been shown In the work of the Salva tion army in the city is most plead ing. The tag day was considered a fine testimony as it cleared $325. There are a number of people who have, said that after May 1 they will contribute. . This campaign is for the year and the objective is $4000 as It takes that much for the needed budget to carry the activities of the organization through that per iod.

Yet the bicycle is so perfectly adapted to bodily needs that the fa tigue of a ten-mile ride is less than one Would experience in walking a tenth of that distance. A result or bicycle riding is the strengthening of one's muscles, not only the lower extremities, but of the abdomen, chest and arms, all of which are constantly excited to contract.
