THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) Rad DANCING, HARD WORK Can you walk 25 miles without getting fagged out? Probably not. Yet you cover that much distance in an ordinary evening of dancing. A German scientist recently figured it out. Madalyn Lee, young Boston girl, checked the figure. She wore a pedometer, danced five hours, foynd she had traveled 25 miles. Not only~that, shé}* finighed fresh, eh "4 A Marathon ru doing 25 miles at about, the same Speed as a-modern fast dance, staggers down the home stretch and falls into his trainers’ arms. :! - How do you explain it? On'a 25; mile Marathon the runner: moves 'stead- ily, without stopping. The 25 cniile dancer steps the light! ‘fantastic for a few minutes, then. pauses to recuperate. It’s like the intermission between rounds of a prize- fight. The. human body is a machine. It runs steadily ‘ just so long, then gets over-heated. A pause, to + halt combustion of ehergy by the thyroid gland, also cools the brain, steadies the nerves and re- charges the batteries. ib Rested, if only for a few minutes, the body is ready to go ahead again at top speed. That’s why, returning from a short ‘vacation sensibly spent in rest, we find our energy doubled as we settle down again to work. . Brain workers, in particular, can increase ‘their| productive capacity by relaxing into absolute rest ‘+ five minutes an hour. Some shrewd factory man- ., agers give their employes similar periods of rest | '’ as a matter of increasing efficiency. + Like all things, this 25-mile proposition has aj psychic or méntal-science side. Getting it down to psychological fundamentals, it’s like a Boy Scout who growls at chopping kindling at home, but whistles happily and gladly chops wood for hours in camp. Whether a task is hard or easy, all depends on the mental attitude. To enjoy life and make all tasks pleasant, select |! the line of work you want most. That is your real field:. To get into it, fight and overcome all ob- stacles—“mountains, walls and towers.” If you have people working for you, you can “put their hearts in their work” by making the work pleasant and introducing into it ‘the element of competition—sport, play. Behind this is the explanation of why so many potentially successful boys have their life careers ruined by parents shoving themi-away from what they want to;be, into occupations that they find stupid or only mildly interesting. .CORKS.ON TIDE OF FINANCE Judge Gary, American business man’s oracle, is optimistic, thinks business will continue to in- crease, with better times ahead. Same prediction comes from leaders of nearly every important indystry. And production statis- tics back them up.’ The country is running into a period of big physical volume of business. Profits may be low or non-existent for some time. But that doesn’t matter much. Get people buying heavily. That is the import- ant thing. It starts money circulating. Given that, profits and prosperity will quickly adjust , themselves to normal. it STRATEGY _ Coal operators banked on big open-shop produc- tion to make the coal strike anemic. They are i cutguessed by the strike leaders, who center their "attack on the Connellsville coke district. where it was least expected. The union coal min- ers have been “laying for” the Connellsville coke 1: erowd for 20 years. Steel industry, a bystander, suffers as its coke supply is partly shut off. Judge Gary admits even United States Steel’s coke supply is only 54 per cent normal. Without their big reserve stocks steel mills would have to lay off many men.

May be more fortunate and sensible in our selection of traditions than the Old World. NEGROES We could solve one of our “race problems” by sending our negroes to colonize Germany’s former colonies in Africa. This suggestion is made seri- ously by Dr. Heinrich Schnee, who used to be gov- ernor of German East Africa. American negroes, however, might make con- siderable rumpus before consenting to be restored to their lost provinces. World’s supply of ships couldn’t begin to handle the traffic. In making his suggestion seriously, Doc Schnee discloses that Europe is informed on American conditions about as accuratery as Americans are infcrmed on Europe. POLITICS Queensland, Australia, gets tired of deadlocks between the two houses of its parliament, or con- gress. So it abolishes the upper house, corres- ponding ‘to our Senate, and adopts the, single- chamber system, as in western Canadian pro- vinces. ‘ England seriously considers eliminating ‘its House of Lords. In coming years there'll ve similar talk about abolishing our national Senate. The Senate and the. House, however, are designed to operate’ as checks on each other, The Unted States Senate is a constant erat er that our country is a league of nations—states. FINE! Northern Pacific railway employes. who entered military service during the war totaled 3977. Of these 2597 have returned and: applied for their old '8|jobs. © And every one of the applicants has been taken care of to date, says J. M. Rapelje, the road’s vice president.

COUNTRY, EVER RIGHT” A newspaper sometimes has to say hard things about the policy of the government over it. iThere is a cult in America which believes that a newspaper should never criticize the government, should never, as they say, “try to tear down the government. Asa matter of fact, much cvitic- ism of government is a sincere effort, to make government better, or at the most. to make a bet- ter government. The other day in England the Manchester Guardian criticized the British gov- ernment bitterly. We reprint it herewith below: Englishmen are placed in a position of incomparable humiliation by their gov- ernment’s refusal, as announced by Mr. Chamberlain in the house of commons, to find the trifling sum needed to save millions of men, women, and children from dying of hunger in Russia. To sug- gest a comparison between the Russian famine, probably the most enormous “massacre, with tortures added, in all hu- man history and our own present dis- tress in England is a piece of shabby trifling. The two things do not belong to the same order. Perhaps a,lower depth of meanness is reached in the suggestion that we might do well to embarrass the . Russian government by refusing any such infinitesimal and indirect relief to its finances as might accrue from every 12s with which England saved some Rus- sian woman’s life—some women of the peasant class which has broken the back of the extreme Communist policy in Rus- sia by its resistance. Meanwhile Amer- ica, through her government, has done her duty and taken our country’s place as the leader of the world in these national acts of human charity., We cannot even hope that our deposition from that place - of honor will be forgotten in history. i Just the contrary. When our anti-waste i stunts and the moment’s slump in our | trade and the freaks of our Die-hards are far outside public memory, the great- est famine in European history may seem larger than ever in the backward perspec-. tive, and the fact that England stood aside in the hour of trial may stand out in the world’s mind against us like the burning of Joan of Arc. These are hard words to be said of a govern-! ment by one of its subjects. Yet they are true: jand should be said. There is a duty higher than’ narrow patriotism; a duty that a man owes to hu. jmanity, which is the highest patriotism, and when| ‘a man’s country is wrong, or when a man honest- \ly and after sincere inquiry, feels that his country + Boston has just celebrated the one hundred. is wrong, he should say so.—Emporia Gazette. , | That was her plight: Jit out to nurse somewhere; and she || word for it.
