New, light on how speed eats up
gasoline, oil and tires is shed by
1 figures just released by The Trav.
elers Insurance Company.
A gallon of gas which at 25
miles per hour will push a car 20.4
miles will carry it only 12.8 miles
at 65 m.p.h. In a thousand miles
of travel $6.76 worth of tires will
be dissipated at 65 miles per hour;
•nly $1.80 worth at 25. Oil con-
j gumption doubles when speed is
! raised from 25 to 65, and depreci-
: ation and maintenance more than
1 trebles.
Averages show a total cost of
two cents per mile at 25; almost
five cents per mile at 65.
Few persons can be persuaded
to drop down to 25 miles an hour,
it is pointed out, but even at 35
miles an hour the savings are sub.
stantiaL And if actual cash sav-
ings are not important to the ave.
rage individual, prolonging the
life of his tires and his car are of
prime importance now.
Surprisingly little time is saved
by speeding, the analysis shows,
whereas the costs rise rapidly. In
a thousand miles of travel, 13
hours can be saved by traveling at
65 instead of 35, but at a cost of
$1.86 per hour saved.
Motorists will do well to study
the tables and charts shown. The
figures were developed from the
actual operation experience of 31
light, medium and heavy cars
ranging from brand new to sev-
eral years old, and while each in-
dividual’s own cost may vary
slightly from them, these figures
can be used as a fair index.

THE GREAT AMERICAN
BATHTUB
Bathing, both for cleanliness and
for pleasure, has been the instinctive
practice of nearly all the peoples of the
earth from the beginning of history.
Outdoor bathing was, of course, prac-
ticed by man wherever there was water.

The most ancient records refer to bath-
ing in rivers like the Nile and Ganges.
Then someone thought,of warm, pri-
vate baths after fatigue or exercise. The
famous Roman baths contained warm
and cold baths, hot vapor baths, hot
air baths, swimming baths, rooms for
resting and for anointing the body with
oil.
Americans Are Great Bathers
We Americans have the daily bathing
habit, and there can be little doubt
that it is a factor in the nation's im-
proving health record.
The bathtub itself, now often sup-
plemented with a shower, was long a
gleaming symbol of our high standard of
living, brought about by our develop-
ment of the techniques of mass produc-
tion. Nearly everybody can afford
bathtub, and most people have one.
And for pure pleasure, nearly every
American able to climb into one is the
proud owner of a stylish, abbreviated
bathing suit for public bathing.
It’s Great To Feel Clean
Of course, the first purpose of the
bath is cleansing. We are all bound
to enjoy better health and to feel in
better spirits generally if we have at
least one cleansing bath every day.
Warm water bathing, especially if it is
ended with a cool or cold shower, pro-
motes health. It. removes grease, dirt,
and perspiration which are sure to have
accumulated during our working hours.
It also has a beneficial effect on the
circulation, and this can be accentuated
by vigorously rubbing afterwards.
In line with their programs to im-
prove employees’ health, thousands of
American factories today provide their
workers with modem dressing rooms
with lockers and showers. Our mun-
itions workers need never go home with-
out first cleaning up thoroughly and
changing into clean, dry clothing
The first “modern’ bathtub in this
country, so the story goes, was in-
stalled by its inventor, Adam Thomp-
son. in his home in Cincinnati in Dec-
ember, 1842.
But so fixed were we only a hun
fired years ago in our anti-bathing at-
titude that a loud public hubbub was
raised to the effect that bathing in the
new contraption would imperil the
health, result in rheumatism, cause in-
flammation of the lungs and other
horrible things.
In summer the American bathing
habit moves outdoors, bringing to
young and old alike the additional
benefits of the sunshine and fresh air«*
Swimming itself is one of the best
exercises we can take and has become
a great national sport. As we swim,
the blood courses through the arter-
ies at about nine times the normal
rate, carrying nine times as much
life-giving oxygen to the tissues. Our
lungs get more fresh air, too.
Almost every muscle gets a mod-
erate workout, and we feel refreshed
and full of enthusiasm after a good
breathing practiced by swimmers, con-
tributes to steadying the nerves and
Caches us coordination.
I am often asked whether horse-
back riding or swimming, both of
which exercises I enjoy very much
is the better exercise. I always say
swimming is better; for in riding the
horse does most of the work.
Look Before You Leap
If you are among those who enjoy
a plunge into the ocean, a lake, or
a stream, take care when you dive in.
Many n headlong dive has resulted in
tragedy, , either from plunging into
shallow water or from hitting some ob-
struction beneath the surface.
Injury to the middle ear and even
deafness are also often caused by
diving. Jumping into water feet first
is dangerous and should never be
practiced.
Today Americans are probably the
world’s greatest bathers, indoors and
out. And the great American bathtub
still stands as a shining example of
our standard of living, the highest of
any nation even in a world torn by
war.
With tire and gas rationing keeping
the modem “family buggy” in the gar-
age, and the war itself focussing people's
atention on the spiritual needs of in-
dividuals and of nations, authorities
interested in the promotion of the
adult Bible and study classes in Ameri-
ca’s churches are looking forward to
great increases in enrollment and at-
tendance and enrollment at such classes
this coming fall and winter. “Not only
will the American father send his boy
out to Sunday school when Rally Day
comes Sunday, Sept. 13, and not only
will mother iron daughter’s frock on
Saturday night for Sunday,” says one
church school leader, “but father and
mother will themselves be going to
church schol from which they have
been absent too many years.”
Advices reaching the board of mis-
sions and Church Extension of the Me-
thodist Church from private sources
in occupied China indicate that Japanese
authorities are recognizing the Christian
church in the Chinese provinces under
their control as they have recognized
them in Japan. All Protestant denom-
inations are being welded into one
united church with headquarters in
Peking; Chinese leaders govern the
church with Japanese pastors as ad-
visors; relations are severed with Eng-
lish and American Churches; churchen
must become self-supporting; a Japanese
councillor must be present at each
church service or meeting. It is re-
ported that there has been a great
influx of Japanese teachers to North
China. ,
“Peace is not an unconditional gift
of God—it is a product of righteousness,”
said the United Luthern Church of
America in a recent message to all
its churches and members. “Righteous-
ness and goodwill are God’s first goal:.'.
Peace is their flower and fruit. If
enduring peace is to come to mankind,
it can come only to men and through
men who are wholly dedicated, through
faith in Christ, and by the power of
His Holy Spirit, to righteousness and
goodwill. This faith and power bearing
fruit in righteousness and goodwill, are
the only real bases for a just and
lasting peace. Therefore, all Christians
=re challenged to cultivate in their
lives the gifts of God’s grocc. through
God's word and sacriments, that they
may become more effective exemplars
and evangelists of that righteousness
and godwill which alone can produce
a just and lasting peace.”

The Chunking (West China) Com-
mittee of Church Committee relief for
China, supported by gifts from Ameri-
can churces, has voted to grant $33,735
<Chinecn currency) to the Syracuse-in-
China Hospital for building an operat-
ing and obstetrics room in a dugout in
the side of one of Chunking’s mountains
for emergency use during air raids.
This hospial is manned by Chinese doc-
torsc and nurses, and Rev. C. Bertram
Rappe is acting superintendent. It has
been more frequently bombed than any
other hospital in free China, but it
continues to carry on its services to
hundreds of civilians.
Three sentences carved on the mom -
ment of Booker T. Washington on tho’
campus of Tuskegee Institute are being
quoted by many ministers as especially
worthy of study in these days of war,
hate and misunderstanding: “There is
no sense of security for any of ijs
''xr'ent in the highest intelligence and
development of all”......“I will let
man drag me so low as to make me
hate him”......“We shall prosper m
proportion as we learn to dignify ar*d
glorify lagor and put brains and skill
into the common occupations of life."
In the congested district of Los An-
geles served by the Church of All Na-
tions Foundation, where school statis-
tics show an 83 per cent population
turnover in the past year—largely m
the Negro and Mexican groups—the
-hurch and social agencies find increas-
ng difficulty in securing volunteer
leadership, especially for men for boys'
croups. According to Director Robert
0. McKibben of the Foundation, th:*
is a principal cause of increasing ju-
venile delinquency in Los Angeles, es-
pecially youth between 13 and 15 yca-.i
of age.
