A vacation whether it be for few days or
many spent in such surroundings as are pleas
ing TO the vacationist) is an excellent thing.
There is no better method of promoting all
around efficiency than in giving human being
such opportunity for relaxation. He or she
usually returns to their labor with added Zest
and new outlook.
JOSEPH HARTIGAN,
Commissioner of Weights and Measures.
My conception Of a vacation is change--a
change is vacation-in scene, in climate, IN
food and in everything else.
| believe that vacations make better en-
poyes, giving the highest percentage OF SER
vice, and | am strongly opposed to reducing
the number of holidays or discouraglng the
vacation idea in any way.
NJ f. BRUMBAUGH,
Governor of Pennsylvania.
am heartily in accord with the sentiment
expressed in Governor Edges letter relative
to vacations, and in normal conditions and
when our country is at peace unquestlonably
q vacation is an advantage to all parties IN
interest, but in this day of war it would seem
to me that our vacation should take the form
of industrial production and the increase OF
the food supply for our people
WALTER E. EDGE,
Governor of New Jersey.
The vacation is the dispeller of fog from the
human mind the cleanser Of the intellect. IL
separates the real from the unreal. 1t IS the
time of mental and bodily stock-taking, to
clear anew the human ship for action IN the
part we hold in the eternal struggle.
As a revtalizer of the intellect and re-
;,,,,opo+ov of tho bodv the vacation is
cific more potent than all the indictments
known to the followers of Esculapius.
JOHN HUDSON STORER, M. d.
| am heartily in favor of vacations. We
have always made it a point to allow vacations
with salary to our employees (after they have
been here short time) as it is beyond ques-
ton beneficial to the individual and the busl-
ness as we'll
A rest to both mind and body, with the &C
companying change in scene and atmosphere,
makes for efficiency and therefore results IN
better work | can truthfully say that | enjoy
nv vacations, and feel refreshed after them.
NJ FRIEDSAM
President B. Altman G. Co.
Every person certainly needs periodical
vacation. In our daily grind we barely have
time to observe the scenery-the sky or the
stars or the beautiful nature that is about us
and yet when we are conscious OF the presence
of this, it calls out in us our better self.
remember well that in my days OF pow
erty two weeks holiday on farm helped me
greatly to face the severe mental and physical
struggle which came later on.
MISHA APPELBAUM,
Leader of the Humanitarian Cult.

Don't overvalue beautiful scenery-see

However. don't think to economic by not
taking summer vacation.

Are Necessary for All,
Say Successful Men

At no period of life is vacation more i'm
portant than during childhood.
Vacation time is not only repair time for
the child, as it is for the adult but it is also
growing and developing time. A child who
knows not playtime, recreation time, vacation
time, is not only exhausted physically and
mentally for the time being, but is stunted in
growth of body and undeveloped in capacity
of mind more or less permanently.
Let us have the proper vacations for our
children and we have done much toward the
upbuilding of the personnel of our future citi-
zens. MORRIS STARK, NJ. D.
vacation Is not luxury, but a necessity.
Escape from the steady routine of physical or
mental labor is matter not so much OF desire
as of demand.
sound vacation philosophy calls for an
eight-hour day, six-day week, and an eleven
month year, as minimum programme. And
this not for favored minority of the pOpula-
tion but for all who toll.
That everybody shall work and everybody
play as a relief from work. is thing devoutly
to be wished. JOHN HAYNES HOLMES,
Minister, Church of the Messiah.
The most successful men whom | know
happen to be those who take the most vaca-
tions. ! used to think they had vacations be-
cause they were successful and could afford
them; | have come more and more to think
they are successful because they have vaca-
tions-that the success is the reward OF the
vacation, not the vacation the reward OF sue
cess. Their jobs are forever new to them;
they are constantly being born again; they are
always at the threshold of life, attacking its
problems with keen appetites and rested mind.
BRUCE BARTON,
Editor of Every Week
Not where but how you take your vacation
is the important thing.
Overcrowding in summer boarding house
As quite as bad for the body on farm as i IS
in city block.
Above all, see that you 60 where you can
rest well. eat clean, wholesome food and get
plenty of fresh air. HAVEN EMERSON,
Commissioner of Health, New York City.
Experience shows that every one suffers in
a complex variety Of ways after any monot-
onous routine life The human body is so
myriadly complex that no doctor can invarl-
ably indicate what parts are suffering or how
they should be treated; and yet all doctors
and all specialists agree on this, that the one
best, always safe and nearly a certain remedy
is the complete change that is brought about
by vacation.
ERNEST THOMPSON SETON,
Chief of Woodcraft League
At no period of the year is an individual in
need of vacation more than during the sum-
mer months. At this time the body and mind
are in need of thorough overhauling, due to
the steady occupation throughout the long
fall, winter and spring months.
The results of even a short vacation show
that the appetite increases, the nutrition i'm
proves. the blood circulates more freely and the
brain becomes more active

BIG DAY" HITTING.
Cobb Led Both Leagues in Getting
Four Hits in Single Games.

Who broke out greatest number of
times during the 1916 season with a
bunch of base hits? Right you are
it was the mighty Tyrus Cobb. The
great Tiger star was foiled in his ef-
forts to lead the American League in
batting, but contented himself with
most of the other honors.
And among them was the big day"
swatting honors. Cobb probably set a
major league mark last season when
he got four hits in n single game on
eight different occasions. iris Speaker,
who romped in ahead of the Georgia
Peach" in league hitting, had to be sat
sfied with runner-up to Ty in the sub
ject of big day" clubbing. once in the
season--June 10, against Sheehan Of

five times at bat. This was his best
work for the year. On four occasions
during the year he got quartet of

FRANCE SEEKS 0LYMP|CSI
German Prisoners Constructing
Enormous Stadium in Lyon for
Games After War.

With the certainty that the next
Olympic games will not be held in Ber-
lin or under the dominions of the CEN
trail powers, the unofficial announce
ment that Lyon. in southeastern
France, will be the scene of the world
championship sports series will serve
to keep up interest in the events to
come, although no date has been set
apart for them.
While it will be necessary for the In
ternat1onal Amateur Athletic Fedora
ton to meet and withdraw its sanction
for the right to hold the games, which
is still held by the German olympic
council. there is little doubt that the
next Olympiad will not be held at the
stadium erected by the Germans in the
center of the beautiful Grunewald race
course on the outskirts of Berlin.
That everything in connection with
the revocation of the boon given to the
German Olympic committee will be ac-
cording to the book was recently at
tested by the statement by Baron
Pierre de Coubertin when he was asked
to withdraw the sanction from the Ger
mans. but the reSurrectionist of the
Olympic games in truly sportsmanlike
manner said that everything in rela-
ton to such action must have the &C
cord of the majority OF all the nations
OF the fedora ton.

Would Favor France.

1t is some seventeen years since the
Olympic games were held in Paris, and
there is little doubt that the nations of
the federation would be hand in glove
with any movement which would aid the
tri-color If France displayed any desire
to hold the sports after the present hos
tilities have in measure been forgot
ten. Therefore, it appears to be par
ticula-ly fitting that arrangements are
already under way IN that country 20
provide spot which will bring the
athletes o: the world together @or the
purpose o: determining the best men,
and at the same time aid in cementing
relations between tie nations OF the
world. this being Baron de CouheTtin's
idea when he proposed a revival of tho
ancient sports.
1t develops that the sporting spirit of
the mayor of Lyon, the third city of
France, is SO great that he is building
the greatest stadium in the world,
which he describes as the wars gift
to peace"
A little way out of the city, on the
banks of the Rhone, 1000 German
prisoners are constructing this enor-
nous stadium. 1t was begun before the
war, one of the many evidences of the
passion for athletics and outdoor life
which has overtaken France in the
twentieth century.

The announcement that the Amateur

which was further heightened by the
announcement that several of the most
noted swimmers of the United States

Duke Kahanamoku, Hawaiian cham
pion, and several times world champion

BIG FACTOR IN SPORT WORLD.
Carl G. Fisher Of Indianapolis At

Carl G. Fisher of Indianapolis, the
man who built the Indianapolis motor
speedway, put across the Indianapolis
balloon races and a dozen similar big
things, and who owns the express
cruiser that broke all ten-mile records
Friday at Miami. has become big
factor in the world of sport.
Fisher made possible the holding of
the midwinter motor boat regatta in
Biscayne bay, on which Miami is sit
uated At his own expense he under
took the tremendous task of dredging
out a Observation-Disclosures course, and
this work. which covered a period of
two years. gives to Miami the finest
course in the United States, not only as
to water conditions. but because of it's
location. which makes it possible for
thousands Of people to see every foot
of the race from the enormous grand
stands erected along the beach.
Adjoining the grandstands Is the i'm
mense aviation field which Fisher made
available as an experimental station
for Glenn Curtiss. which, incidentally,
affords every opportunity for races be-
tween hydroplanes and the fastest mo-
tor boats in the United States, as well
as the Curtiss flying boats and military
tractors.
