When Is a Man Tired?

In an article about tired business men in the American Magazine, a writ CT says:
 When a man says he is tired, he means that he is the victim of fatigue and that the requirements of the day's s work have exhausted his mental and physical resources. Is this true? If it were the victim of this terrific day would go home and fall into bed to re- cuperate from what he has suffered. But he does not. He does one of two things: either he spends the evening at home romping with the kids, or reading. or amusing himself with some fad or game; or he goes out and puts in anywhere from four to eight hours seeking show, going to roof gar den, taking an automobile ride, danc- ing good many miles, or playing cards
 Tt turns out that he is not as tired as he thought he was. Tn fact, to all intents and purposes, he is not tired at all If he were, he could not show up laughing and with the gleam of hearty enjoyment in his eye at the end of dance or an automobile ride, or whatever it is that he has selected as means of killing time before he chooses to go to bed. The man who is re.-lly fatigued has no desire to dance does not want to be bounced around in an automobile, does not care to sit through play. feels an aver sion to a game of cards. If he is really fatig ued. there is only one thing he does want, and that is rest-rest and sleep"
 There is only one chance in 7,000,- 100000 for mistake in finger prints, according to French scientist.
