FRED ST. ONGE, America's foremost exponent of Bicycle riding gives some valuable advice on choosing, equipping and adjusting a bicycle

In the selection of a bicycle, he states, whether the rider is choosing his first bicycle or is a seasoned user of this highly beneficial vehicle and has owned several wheels, he should exercise the greatest care in making sure the bicyclejbt finally picks out is one in every way fitted to his (tr her) individual physical requirements. A bicycle with a frame too high or too low for the rider's stature, or one that is geared too high, or one whose saddle or handlebars are sadly in need of adjustment, naturally results in an awkward and uncomfortable riding posture and detracts greatly from the otherwise perfect pleasure of bicycling. It must be borne in mind that the only motive or driving power that manipulates a bicycle is that of the legs and feet. This power therefore should be conserved and made to produce maximum results from minimum effort. To get the proper height, says St. Onge, the rider should stand beside his bicycle and adjust the saddle on level with the hips. Then sit in the saddle, having the crank hanger at its lowest point. In this position, the rider should be able to touch the pedal with his heel, the leg being bent slightly at the knee. The front end or nose of the saddle should be on a line directly with the cranks when they are perpendicular. The saddle never should be set more than one inch back of this line. A natural, comfortable riding position is promoted by having the handlebars adjusted to a point practically level with the saddle. The handlebars should not be .spread wider than the shoulders of the rider. The rider is subjected to a severe handicap if this mount is adjusted out of these limitations, and riding them becomes laborious and difficult, especially against a strong head wind and over hilly country roads. In other words with the saddle set back of the center of the crank hanger and the handlebars higher than they should be, pleasure becomes hard work and no progress can be made. A bicycle rider should never pattern his riding position after the more or less crouched position assumed by a motorcycle rider; continues St. Onge. Should he do so, hill climbing involves tho greatest exertion, and long distance riding becomes practically a physical impossibility. Whether a 'bicycle is ridden as a utility or as a pleasure vehicle, or both, the most practical gear is 24x9, 74, or -26x10, 72 gear. A bicycle geared too high necessitates unnecessary effort, makes a whes:r run hard, and requires undue leg and foot pressure. If the handlebars, saddle, and seat post are properly adjusted, the most essential features of , v"" " '

The evening was delightfully spent with music and readings. Ex-Senator McCloud, Mrs. Thomas' brother, was one of the guests. Tho Lady .Elks will be entertained this week at the home of Mrs. William Huber, of 4220 Northcote avenue. ' 8a1.urday afternoon the Trl Kappas were hostesses at a card party at St. Albin's parish hall. There were twenty tables at which fcrldge and five hundred were played.

graceful, easy position are attained and ease and effortless proputation are acquired. There are other adjustments that can be made, Mr. St. Onge concludes, but these are of minor importance. There Is an impression in the public mind that there is a large number of accidents to users of bicycles on the streets and highways of the nation. A recent investigation of the State of Connecticut, however, would seem to disprove this theory. There perhaps are as many bicycles in Connecticut as in any other area of equal size. With the Connecticut figures as aa basis therefore it will be shown that there are fewer accidents to bicyclists than to any other group of vehicle drivers, based upon the analysis of accidents per thousand Vehicles. ' ....... The figures compiled by the Motor Vehicle Department of Connecticut show a total registration of 124,000 motor ' vehicles and the number of bicycles ridden is estimated at 60,000. According to official statistics, the ratio of the number of bicycles per one fatality to operator is: Bicycles, one in 6000 Motor Vehicles, passenger cars one in 6299 Motor Vehicles, commercial cars one in 6003 Ratio per number of vehicles per one fatality to occupants, operators, passengers, one in 1495. The Bicycle Manufacturers' Association has gone on record as desiring to operate with motor vehicle departments of the various states in minimizing and avoiding accidents on the highways to bicycle riders, and these statistics show that few accidents occur to riders between the ages of ten and eighteen. In fact, records show only three in one year. The Bicycle Manufacturers Association, in furtherance of its desire to reduce accidents to the minimum, has recommended to all dealers that, when a sale of a bicycle is made, they instruct the purchaser as to the laws of the highways and also has recommended that each manufacturer insert in it's catalogues and all printed matter the following:. 1. The bicycle is a vehicle and therefore en titled to the same rights and privileges on the highways enjoyed by horse-drawn vehicles or automobiles. 2. Observe the laws governing the use of highways. 3. Never ride on the wrong side of the road. 4. Do net "hich on" to a vehicle. 5. Equip your bicycle with a bell or other warning device. 6. Use lamps at night for your own protection.
