CAR DRIVING HARD ON FEET Short llee of Accelerator Causes Circuit of Fedal Nerves or Motor Foot, It Is Said. When car owners return from their summer vacations many of them return limping. A new summer epidemic is at large in the ranks of vacationists. The new ailment has been given the In tlie popular name of motor foot. language of surgical chiropody it is indexed and classified under the name of metatarsal displacement. Continuous motoring is the cause of the ailment. It is a right" foot trouble caused by the continuous strain occasioned by long motor trips when the driver keeps his foot in the strained position required by the use of the car accelerator. This position causes a displacement of the metatarsal bones which in turn causes them, in motor language, to short the nerves of that part of the foot. This in turn is the answer for the pain that accompanies the distinction of possessing motor foot. Motor foot not only makes walking painful, but practically eliminates golf, tennis or any of the other popular forms of active recreation. stand the relativity theory.
