His needle moves at a rate of once to the sec- ond and covers some twenty inches each time, and at twelve miles a day for ten hours labor he will make 4, 000 miles a year for 300 working days, and in six years equal to the “Bull Dog” mileage. ' Your city clerk walks a bit, tho’ ' he doesn’t know it averages nearly 700 miles a year, and in a working life time just about reaches 25,000 miles. “Your Post Office sorter and your billiard or pool player the letter car- rier and the messenger boy all cover their 25,000 miles in a very few years, as does the rural free delivery mail carrier. “The average physician, either with country or city practice, is also a large consumer of mileage and so are the followers of other occupa- tions too numerous. Your elevator operator in a large city sky-scraper is probably the extensive traveler of all, and in fifteen years of continu- that ‘would amount even himself, as he covers approximately some 15, 000 miles a year. “No matter what your occupation may be you are a traveler and a cal- culation of the distance you have covered in the course would, if fig- ured, no doubt surprise you. mre A A rn An Oyster Supper On Friday and Saturday evenings, Jan. 26 and 27, the Foresters Band will hold an oyster supper in Mount Joy Hall.
