Problem of Recreation

OF all phases of modern city life
the problem Of recreation lies in
field which has been least explored
When an investigator figures that in
la city OF fairly good size each indi-
yidual has about five hours IN which
nc neither eats, sleeps nor works
and that IN tnat time each person
spends for recreation at the rate Of
= cents an hour on the average for
the FIVE hours, the calculation ls
necessarily largely guesswork
But taking the figures 10 be as
nearly accurate as can be reached
and applying them 70 New York
city they produce the result that
today. tomorrow and every day The
population Of this town, not counting
the visitors, Is going 10 spend half a
million dollars for recreation.
The civic expert who MADE the
computation proves one point, even
if the accuracy Of his figures be az
sailed and that point Is that there
De- a profound economic effect from
this five hours Of spare time you
and your neighbor have In a day
Couple with this the recent state
ment Of Gov Brum mbaugh, Of Penn
gylvania, the most crimes are com
mltted. and that the police Ia largely
made necessary by the activities Of
a cify's population during these Ave
hours. and you add another eco.
nomlc problem 10 that Of the other
expenditure.
IN other words, YOU not only pay
certain amount directly for amuse-
ment bat you also must pay. in sup.
porting asylums. hospitals and iaIls,
for the unwls9 use % which some

Many cities have reached tho point
where tho necerslty for Fairgrounds
and parks for children is recognized.

that the grownup often needs an
opportunity for the right sort Of

Business was business. Nowadays it

Business is charity. To furnish

Business is progress. It does not
consist in wheedhng people to deal with

Business is ethics. The best preach

Be particular about that, for it is very
essential that not breath Of pure air

Next be sure that your desk is so
placed that your chair viii be right over
your hot air register or your steam rad

Smoke all you like-to excess, pref
erably, and smoke cigarettes.
For lunching place, select cafe
near at hand, so that you will not have
to exert yourself by way of long walk,
and make it a point to see that it is
poorly lighted and poorly ventilated, and
be sure that you eat heavily of rich, un-
wholesome food.
Ride from your office to your home,
for dinner; eat heartily again and go
quickly to bed,
1t might be well to smoke before re-
firing.
Take care to have all bedroom win
dows tightly closed and to see that the
door of your room, also, is closed. You
might have the keyholes stuffed with
putty, too.
Should you care to attend a theater,
make it a point always to go to a cafe
after the play for a hearty meal.
Always eat heartily, particularly just
before retiring.
And drink plenty of alcoholic stimu-
lants.
Follow these directions closely and we
guarantee that you will find yourself ir
