great When II reference to the work in

202 Of the first volume of Brownings
letters to his wife. "Thus in more

LONG WALK IN OFFICE.
Average Business Man Covers Vast
Territory In a Year.

Average Business Man Covers Vast
Territory In n Year.
"If l had cent for every mile l
walk during Office hours every day ia
soon be able to retire." Is remark
frequently heard from men and wo-
men who are kept on their feet while
at business. The general impression Is
that the distance travelled daily Is very
great. And so it may be. But the sim
pie experiment Of carrying a pedome-
ter for few weeks will probably
show that ones income at a cent a
mile would not be worth collecting I'M
til the end of year.
A downtown office man has just fin
ished an experiment of this nature. He
carried pedometer six weeks, regis
tering its total each night. At the end
of that time it was found that the dis
lance Travelled. though varying greatly
from day to day. came to a fairly even
average ut the end of each week.
How many miles do you suppose he
walked on the day Of his highest rec
ord? Twenty? Thirty? Fifty? No,
only nine miles. The lowest record
came the very next day and was
mile and half. But the average for
each week was thirty three and one
third miles. or an average OF six and n
half miles for each working day. The
SIX weeks showed totals as follows:
500. 2719, 81. -. 32l12, 80, or an aggre-
gate of 200 miles and half mile over.
At the end of six weeks, therefore, he
would have collected 50 at Il cent
mile.
In the course of year this office
travelling represents an impressive
walking tour, with its total Of 1888
miles. If made us Il continuous trip
across country it would take him from
