We should have more leisure,” declares a distinguished and newly-arrived Eng- lish woman whom no one could eccuse of being lasy. This is almost too much. We shall begin to be really worried about ourselves! The medical man says that we are theatre-mad and opere-mad —in fact, amusement-mad. He says we eee eo many wiggly electric lights and hear so many elevated railways and early milkmen that our brains never settle down to the quietude of real cleep. What sleep we could have, he adds, we put off with tea, coffee and alcohol. A good many of us do these things, it is true. More, however, ys tho don’t. Most of us are average people that “sleep o’ nights,” people who have worked hard in the daytime—certainly more than five hours. Exercise is a good thing, sleep de @ good thing. Perhaps we do not get too much of either. Nevertheless, the people who have done things in this world have never been the ones who constantly worried whether their sleep wasn’t too short and their work hours too long. Are Americans on the whole less healthy than any other people? EE —— A CLOCK-OF-ALL-WORK. FRENCH INVENTOR ‘has invented a kind of secretarial A clock which will run a month.
