Show i THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH Let Our Motto Be GOOD HEALTH BY DR. LLOYD ARNOLD Professor of Bacteriology and Preventive Medicine, University of Illinois, College of Medicine. eeteeevreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee MOTORING HAS GOOD INFLUENCE ON HEALTH A cartoonist In a Chicago newspaper depicted , a scene the other day that had a very entie-- I 1 1 n g appeal showed a man seated at his desk, all sorts of rush orders around him, and through the window a man with a eowboy hat labeled The Call of; the Outdoors was reaching . In, . and, grabbing . him by the vest, was yell-- , ing: Yippe! Wejl, tan' my hide! Look what I found hibernatin'1 in here Cmon out an git some sunshine I Yippee And over the cartoon was the caption, The First Time You Open the . Window Real Wide on a Warm Spring Day. It was good health advice that grinning cowboy gave. When spring comes, its good for us to do like the bears quit hibernating and get out into the sunshine. And if you have a family bus, its time to send out for the latest road map, and away for a week-en- d vacation trip. The highways have always played an important part, in, the health and habits of man. There has ever been an- effort to make them safe from a health standpoint In ancient times lepers and other unclean persons were excluded from the highways, for It was early ' recognized ' that pestilence walked from community to community with the footsteps ,Qf man. The world in which we live Is now a much' bigger one.' 'We can easily travel three hundred miles In any dl-rection within a day. , We are as familiar and conversant with a geo graphical area several hundred miles, square as our grandparents were with a thirty mile area. The development of automotive power has changed our life in many! ways. The social and family environment has been altered. We compare ourselves with more people. We are broader minded in that we can seei more and, therefore, judge values from a better perspective. There is less dif-ference in social customs, dress and; living standards in adjacent communities. The residents of Hose Creek and Turkey Run no longer regard each, other with suspicion. In other words,' we have become a more homogenous.1 population. This is very important from a health standpoint. The com munity that has had a habit of an unbalanced diet, with consequent general illness of the population can now see; the error of its ways and apply the remedy. No community wants a repu-- j tation for disease: Another important health influence due to hard roads and automobiles is the greater amount of time people now spend in the fresh air and sunshine. In the country we used to go to town; In the buggy or wagon when it was neccessary. City dwellers did very little traveling. Now with the automobile we Joyously seek the open road. It is only during rainy or stormy weather that we stay indoors. From a health viewpoint, this is as it should be. The ride after supper that sol many people take nowadays provides a period of relaxation, and it allows for restful digestion and family visiting. It is much better than staying home to wash the dishes. One question that naturally arises : Are contagious diseases spread h is more by automobile travel than they were before the use of such rapid and easy transportation increased human contact? The answer is that the health level of the population is much' better than it ever was before. There, is plenty of fresh air to be had on a trip and lots of sunshine and little dust This keeps the healthy person well; and aids the sickly persofl to regain health, and the sickly person' has no contact with the healthy travelers in other automotive vehicles. The stimulating effect of the air forced! against the body during - automobile travels is a good tonic. Germs are carried from the sick to the well per-- ! not by the air; son by 6hoe leather, : or wind. . ; Plants Stimulated by from the point of application, and much chemical, toward the point of "Auxin Is a word destined to be bandied about like hormone and "vitamin. For auxin has an extraordinary effect on plant growth. Cut off the tip of an oat sprout and growth ceases. Apply a trace it can be extracted from the cut tip and ' growth is resumed Rub auxin on one side of the sprout and growth occurs only on that side Interested in sufch experiments as he was, A E. Hitchcock, working at the Boyce Thompson institute for plant research, decided to experiment with a commercially available compound known as acid, and this for the reason that the compound is chemically similar to auxin. He found no difficulty In making the leaves and stems of tomato, marigold, buckwheat and tobacco plants bend. A little of the chemical caused a bending away - application. Carbon monoxide, ethylene, acetylene and proplylene all gases brought about similar responses. This naturally raises questions. What happens to the . plant when it Is smeared or treated with gases? Why should such widely different chem- - ! . New Chemical Compound in lndole-3-n-propion- - Icals and gases produce the same results? Can it be that all have Just one common active agent? If so, what is it? And what is its relation to life processes? New York Times. Available Space Largest Room in the World. room for improvement.
