GAIN IN HEALTH.
WOMAN AND THE CAE. J A noted physician in Chicago- says that if a woman drives every day in the summer in a car that affords shelter from wind and rain, that ear is worth at least 260 dollars (about £SO) to her. His/eomputation is based on her gain in health, • her freedom from artificial beautificrs, and her savings in ■household expenditures and cost of clothing. He 'believes that driving in the open lair that sunlight has purified brings 'new vigour to taut nerves and promotes the- organic functioning of the body. ‘These things improve the health of the average woman an equivalent of 150 dollars (about £3O). Commenting on this, a writer says that women have recognised to a certain extent the advantages of the closed car. Dealers everywhere admit that it is the woman who determines the type of car sold. Her choice is always a closed model. The article goes on to say that few women who drive a car every day are stout. The physician points out' that more exercise, more open air, better digestion and sounder sleep, that, the use of the machine makes possible to the- women, means more slender and graceful lines.
