THE HUMAN NEED OF
RECREATION.

There are many souls, who, in this
hour of the nations trial, would have
the people eschew the lighter things
of life and give undivided attention to
the serious business in hand. This is
all very well in the main, and we
would not for the world attempt to
discourage any in this course. Still
tiAtere are ifniits WITHIN -wTiicn the nu-'
man mind as we'll as the human body
must work. There is homely old
saying that "all work and no play
makes Jack dull boy" This is true
from the cradle to the grave.
The human mind is closely akin to
the human stomach Each, to do its
best work, must have a groundwork of
solid diet. The strength and vitality
of each comes from the heavier foods
and would not long survive on the
frothy viands, Yet there is a need Of
the latter, and they are as necessary
in their place as the heavier,
1t is a physiological and psychology
ical fact that there is no rest to
compare with the rest Of change. The
day laborer, with body tissues exhaust
ed and spent with fatigue, requires
absolute inaction to recuperate his
force. The man of sedentary habits,
confined within office walls and to his
chair or his bench, finds greatest re-
lief in physical exertion, ranging all
the way from mild to strenuous. The
student of heavy science or philoso-
ply will soon go stale on a steady
diet of these things, and is only re-
lieved by liberal dash of their oppo-
sites.
Close observers of men and events
have noted that during the first few
months of the war, the people of
France were absorbed by the more Sc
rious business of repulsing the invad-
ers and amusements were given but
little attention. Later on, however,
when the tension began to tell on their
nerves, there was a gradual revival of
the lighter phases Of life, until now all
over that country the comedy of life
is as much in evidence as the tragedy.
The joke and the quip, the songs of
the cabaret and the JAZZ tunes are as
popular in the trenches as in the
amusement centers Of Paris.
That this demand for change is uni
versal in humanity is evidenced very
strikingly in the life of famous Amer
lean humorist who, stated with his own
wit, always found relaxation in the
study of the heavy philosophers, while
aifot ser was an accomplished student

MIDWAY AT STATE FAIR

The Midway of a fair is where the
people play and the Midway of the
1918 Kentucky State Fair, to be held
in Louisville the week of September
9-14, gives promise of being one of the
most thoroughly delightful, amusing
and diversified Pathways of Pleasure"
that State Fair crowds have ever at
tended. Guarantee Of unalloyed enjoy
ment is offered in the fact that the
street will be manned on either side
by the great array of feature shows
touring under the Johnny ]. Jones ban
ner. Every one posted In regard to
Midway attractions is aware of the
ton In the country which can boast
a better, cleaner or brighter lineup of
fun-mediums than the Johnny j. Jones
array, and the pike" Of 1918 is, there
fore, certain to be a much-sought sec
ton Of the Fair. Here the shows will
present fronts Of dazzling gold and
myriad colors, topped by flags and ban
ners and pennants and gay with the
quips and quirks of the "barkers" and
the many bands which distinguish the
Jones array. From the great wild
animal exhibit which heads the list of
twenty-five Jones shows to the village
of Lilliputians, who demonstrate their
cleyerness by remarkable perform
ances the Jones shows are supreme In
class and interest. 1t is the Jones pol
icy to include everything any other
Midway lineup can boast and to keep
well in the van OF the balance of the
purveyors, and by this policy 1t is
claimed that visitors to the Midway
this year will be RECALLED with novelties
and features never witnessed In Mid
way before.
