World Sees Bicycle Back
Again in Popular Favor
Vigorously Returns After a
Lapse of Generation.
Washington, D. C.—The bicycle is
back again. Census bureau reports
on this transportation device show
that 640,000 new ones were produced
in the United States in 1935, the
biggest crop in thirty years.
"Massachusetts police chiefs are
concocting traffic regulations for
cyclists,” says the National Geo
graphic society. "Large cities have
built special cinder-surfaced paths
for them through shady parks. De
partment stores offer pedaling in
struction on indoor rinks or sta
tionary wheels.
"Weekly 'bike trains’ carry the
two-wheeled sportsmen, their cycles
stabled in baggage cars, off to quiet
country roads for a day’s exercise
beyond the reach of metropolitan
street jams.
Necessity There.
"In Bermuda, for instance, where
automobiles are banned, bicycles
are virtually a household necessity
for youth and age. The flat brick
highways of the Netherlands are too
good as cycling roads to waste,
and in many parts of that land
there are separate paths for bi
cycles as well.
LIFE’S PURPOSE

'Police on bicycles patrol the ca
nal paths of southern France. ‘The
ploughman homeward plods his
weary way’ no longer; he pedals.
At sunrise peasant women briskly
cycle to market, their geese for foie
gras sitting in rows on handlebar
trays.
"The bicycle populaiion of Koben-
havn, Denmark, is a third as large
as the human population. Special
police direct the two-wheeled traffic.
‘In Germany bicycle tours are
popular. Plump frauleins tear along
at 12 miles an hour, some holding
cotton umbrellas over their heads.
Industrial centers are also cycling
centers.
"Bicycles are widely used not on
ly in England, but also in Ireland
and Scotland.
"Such widespread use of cycles is
comparatively recent, for their
earlier popularity was spasmodic.
The first craze was for the walk-
bicycle, or pedestrian curricle, de
veloped in France and popularized
in England about 1820 by the Brit
ish coachmaker Denis Johnson. It
was simply an invention for walking
on wheels, a wooden rail mounted
on two grooved wooden wheels, pro
pelled ‘scooter’ fashion.
"Fifty years, however, brought
radical changes. A monument is
erected in Bar-le-Duc, near Verdun,
France, to the French locksmith
Michaux who suggested pedals for
wheels. One of his dissatisfied work
men ran away and patented the
idea in the United States. In Bos
ton carriage manufacturers began
to turn them out, lumbering con
trivances of wood. These 'veloci
pedes’ had wooden pedals shaped
like large spools. A cord was pulled
to put on the brake, merely press
ing a wooden ‘spoon’ against the
wheel to slow it
Revolutionary Step.
"Translating bicycles into metal
was another revolutionary step.
Successively came wire wheels,
then metal wheels with solid rubber
tires, then tubular steel bicycles.
The front wheel was enlarged to
a diameter of five feet, to cover
more distance with less pedaling
while the rear wheel tagged along
like a postcript, a foot high.
"By 1870 this ‘highwheeler,’ or
'spider wheel,’ was having its day.
Six • day bicycle races started.
Mounting stools were supplied at
the race track for ascending the
giant cycle, until builders began to
construct small steps on the rear
of the frame.
"Frequent falls from this speedy
model hastened its discard and
cleared the way for the ‘safety’
bicycle, with wheels of the same
size. Pneumatic tires, invented by
an Irish veterinarian for the com
fort of his little son, and ball bear
ings contributed to the comfort of
the cyclist. The craze was on again,
ushering in the Nineties, whose cy
cling days are celebrated in song.
By 1896 it was estimated that the
United States had four million 'bike'
riders.”

tested when we sincerely investigate
her methods.
In the summer time, we have
abundant harvests, and fruits of the
orchard. Nature’s purpose in her
productive processes is to create
food for the sustenance of life. Deep
down under the earth’s surface are
inexhaustible beds of coal, rivers
of oil, countless areas of gas, all of
which minister to the security, com
fort, and well-being of the race. We
cultivate our gardens in order that
we may enjoy the beauty of rich
colors, fragrance of roses, and the
symmetry and loveliness of flowers.
Nature’s purpose is to enhance the
environment, as man, in turn, in
terests himself in beautifying that
environment. Supreme purpose is
evident in all of nature’s methods.
If the world is shot through with
purpose, if every common bush is
afire with law and order, then sure
ly, we expect to find the same true
when we consider the crowning
work of creation, human personal
ity. But is it true? Do we find
purpose dominating the human
race? Much time is spent in-argu
ing whether this is a friendly world.
If a proportionate amount of time
were used to discover the underlying
purposes which motivate the works
of the human race, there would be
less energy squandered, and more
enthusiasm expressed.
Have you ever honestly asked
yourself the question, "What is the
directing purpose of my life? or
Why am I alive?”
What is the most important factor
in a man’s life? Is it the strength of
his body, the keenness of his mind,
or the sincerity of his character?
Surely, all are important aspects,
but the latter is of dominant con
cern: for a man’s character shows
what he has really accomplished
with bo^y and with brain. The only
permanent impression one leaves
upon life is the pure gold of a
sincere character that commands
the respect, trust, and loyalty of
others. Mind and body are of no
greater importance than the char
acter they enshrine, purpose of
character is "a boundless task in
whose infinitude, as in the unfolding
light and law of leve, abides our
hope, and our eternal joy.”

'T'HE homemaker can, by simple
devices, save her furniture and
furnishings from getting marred and
at the tame time protect paint and
wall paper in her rooms. Also in
similar ways she can guard against
breakage, and entanglements of
door fastenings that are annoying
rather than disastrous. For exam
ple door stops can be made to do
more than prevent doors from hit
ting the wall, and lengths of chain
can be put to unusual uses of pro
tection against accidents.
Door stops can keep furniture
from rubbing against a wall back
of it. The stops may be screwed into
the base board, or into the furni
ture itself, in some instances. The
stops should be positioned where
the rubber tips will strike the base
board or panelling of the wall, and
not where they will come in contact
with plastered walls or wall paper.
Protection
When there is a chest with a lid
that must be raised often, and which
would scrape the wall back of it
each time it was opened or shut,
the wall can easily be safeguarded.
Screw two door stops into the base
board behind the chest to keep it
just far enough away from the wall
to allow space for the lid to open and
shut freely, without touching wall
or woodwork. The edge of the chest
lid also is not marred when this is
done, so the door stops do double
duty in protective ways.
Before leaving the subject of door
stops, let me suggest their use as
legs for low footstools. These can
be made at home. Cover a small
strong wooden box with a piece of
carpet, or make a needle-point cov
er of cross stitch. Pad the top of the
box slightly before fastening on the
cover. Screw four door stops to un
der side of box, and a smart and
neat foot stool results. The wood
of the stops can be stained any
tone of wood to match furniture in
the room.
When a china closet door swings
open it sometimes catches in an*
other door fastening. This annoying
occurrence can be avoided by secur
ing a length of small-link chain with
screw eyes to door and frame of
closet. Occasionally such a door,
swinging wide, would strike a ceil
ing light globe unless held in check
by such a device. The chain should
always be long enough to permit
doors to open as wide as possible
without danger of damage.
