Measuring the Pathway to Peace
"Count your footsteps and see how quickly
they run into miles and health," advises
Tacitus Hussey of Des Moines, Iowa, poet,
pedestrian, newspaper reporter, archer and
historian, who, at the age of 83, is a worthy
pupil of Edward Payson Weston's school of
walkers. Having measured every step he
has taken during the last ten years with his
pedometer, he is an authority on footsteps.
During this period he has traveled 15,000
miles and discovered some of the following
truths:
That the average man travels from 50,000
to 75,000 miles on foot during a lifetime of
three score years and ten.
That every footstep is a drop of nature's
best medicine and health restorer and that a
walk of from three to five miles daily is the
best insurance policy a business man can
carry.
That a man's years are measured by the
miles he walks, and that a doctor's visits are
regulated by the lack of miles.
A STRANGE STEED
This is one of our most popular motion-picture actresses, out riding over the grounds of the California
studio of her company, behind her pet ostrich. The long-legged bird is capable of a pace that would
satiate 'Pop*' Geers.
