Talks on Health
HEALTH AND HARD WORK.

1t is much more important to learn
how to keep we'll than how to get well.
In. the past, physicians have spent a
great deal of time learning about dis
ease and how to cure it; in the future
we shall all learn a great deal about
health and how to maintain it.
With health everything is possible;
without it., nothing. Therefore, the
preservation of your health is duty
to yourself, your family, your COM
pany, your country. The evil conse-
quences of i'll health inflicted on de-
pendents is often greater than the
consequences of crime, yet no one re-
CARDS i'll health as criminal. Good
health is not so much an accident as
people suppose. 1t is largely a pur-
chasable commodity if we are only
willing to pay the price.
A factor of great Importance in the
maintenance of health is hard work.
On the other hand. many business
man, through irregular spasmodic ac-
tivity, pushing his work to the point
of mental or physical exhaustion, has
injured his health. He becomes a ner-
vous or physical wreck and a rest
cure" is recommended. In spite Of
cases of this sort, it can be safely
stated that for every person needing
the rest cure" there are hundreds
needing the work cure"
Work, both mental and physical, not
only promotes >>health, but has been
the means of curing those who were
sick. Many of the maIadies that be-
set mankind may be cured by work
Uncle Sam has fully realized this. The
result is the Federal Board of Vo-
cational Training" Diseased and dis
abled soldiers and sailors are given
a thorough physical examination to
determine the degree of their disabil
ity and then trained in some useful
vocation which is suited to their par
ticular handicap. When the man and
job are well matched, the restorative
effect is marked. It is true, certain
occupations predispose to disease.
Well regulated work has never in
jured any one, and never will 1t re-
mains one of health's greatest assets.
Regulated activity produces regular
habits, accelerates and regulates bod
lily functions and creates a vigor of
both mind and, body which is essential
to the continuance of good health.
Unhappy people are rarely healthy.
Unocupied people are usually the
most miserable and this mental de-
preston, if continued, tends to the
lowering of all bodily processes. Di-
gestion and assimilation seem to suf-
fer first.
1t is we'll for all of US to remember
that the vigor of mind and body of
most great men rests on the founda-
ton of hard labor and in fact, all of
the material good of this world is
built on the profits of hard work

TRAVEL In SYRIA
CONTINUES UNSAFE
Robber Bands of chetes Now Operate
Under Order of Arabs and Turk
Nationalist.
(sy Associated Press.l

Constantinople, Sept. 4.-Robber
bands of Chetes, who have for months
made travel in Syria unsafe and have
held up American relief workers twice
within 10 days, are operating under
the orders of Turkish natioalists and of
the Arab government, according to in
formation received by DR.. r. A. Lam
bert, director of Near East Relief &C
tivities at Aleppo DR.. Lambert says
he has received affidavits to support
this charge. He believes it was one
of these bands that last February muir
dered two American Young Mems Chris
tan. Association secretaries near Ain
tab.
The circumstances which lead to
these conclusions are described by
Near East Relief agents as follows:
The first hoIdup of Americans oc-
Cured in June when two motor trucks
in charge of John o. Brian, a relief
worker, that were carrying 10 Ar
menians was halted between Aintab
and Kills.
Though Brian and all American prop
erty were not mOlested, the Armenian
men and all their baggage were taken
off before the trucks were allowed to
proceed. Only Brians repeated plead
ing saved the women from a similar
fate. The convoy continued it's way
to Aleppo after the men were removed.
While relief officials were negotiating
for relief of sthe Armenians. the pris-
oners were hastily set free ny orders

CLERKS GAIN IN
WACEDECISION

The naval wage award which was
announced last night by Secretary
Daniels makes many adjustments in
the classifications of navy yard en-
ployes, especially among the basic
trades. The /. N. S. leased wire re-
port to The Journal gave the follow
ing summary:
Secretary Daniels explained that the
actual amount awarded is higher than
five percent, as the increase repre-
sents only the difference between the
increase in the cost of living and the
bonus allotted the members by con-
gressional action. The bonus amounts
TO $240 per year.
There were also many adjustments
made in the ratings of the employees
and many inequalities that have ex-
listed for years were Strengthened out
by the award. The board found that
the clerical force has been receiving
relatively too low wage as compared
with mechanics, particularly the posi-
tions of supervisory and chief clerks
Under the award these positions will
be classified as leading men" and
quarter men" respectively and no
clerk under any class will receive less
than the maximum pay of laborers.
The board also found that no clerk
who is bookkeeper or stenographer
should receive less than the maximum
pay of a general helper.
Painters and riggers are declared to
be basic traders with an increase of
pay. In consequence, angle smiths,
die sinkers, moulders and pattern MAX
ers were found to be entitled to a
higher basic pay and received addi-
tional increases.
The secretary disapproved the rec
ommendation of the board that men
receiving more than IS per day be
allowed an increase of an additional
15 percent.
In approving the recommendation of
a year round Saturday half holiday
without pay, Secretary Daniels stated
that this loss of pay to the men would
enable the navy yards to make the pay
increases without materially decreas-
ing the forces at the several yards. 1t
had been stated that any increase in
pay would result in a corresponding
decrease in numbers Of employees, as
the yards work under a congressional
appropriation
The workers had asked the depart
ment for increases ranging from As
cents an hour for the machinists to a
minimum of IS cents an hour for
other trades. Employers in private
industry had presented data in oppo-
sition to any increase in the present
navy scale being based upon increased
pay in outside establishments.
The award of the board was unani-
nous. The members of the board
were Captain John r. Robinson, chair
man; Louis NJ. Howe and A. j. Ber-
res. secretary of the metal trades de-
partment of the American Federation
of Labor.

HIDDEN TREASURES
In TURK LITERATURE
Orientalist Scholar Regrets United
States Refusal to Accept Con-
stantinople Mandate.

Budapest, Sept. ST as a scholar
| regret deeply the refusal of the
! United States to accept the mandate
| over Constantinople because the
| learned world lost a unique chance to
have an American library in. Turkey
which would have brought out the
still hidden treasures of medical Tur-
kish literature, the Koran common
taries and Arabian Philosophy" said
professor Ignatius Goldziher, famous
orientalist who has just celebrated
his 10th birthday. The studio where
Goldziher received the correspondent
of the Associated Press is in itself a
complete library of oriental science.
Either old Turkey must be re-
established, or else the nationalists
must totally modernize it which would
be pity" continued professor Gold
ziher. THE Turks are the most hon
est people Of the East. When a Turk
pledges his word, you can rely upon
it, which is hardly the case with their
neighbors. But when they come into
touch with western civilization they
get spoiled.
"A Turk generally picks up the
style of the Partisan boulevards but is

the West. And they must not aban-
don their national customs. 1t was
one of the tricks used by the Ger
mans to delude the Turkish nation by
the false hopes of a mock civilization
dangled before their eyes. The
strength and value of the Turkish
people is in their racial peculiaricies,
in their simplicity, honesty, potetical
ability and one of the greatest bles-
sings of Americas control over Tur-
key would have been the preservation
of these national qualities"
According to the news I received
from Germany, Oriental studies there
have come to an end and the we'll
known Oriental Academy in Berlin is
closed. But I sincerely believe this
gap will be filled by American men
Of science who are aware of their

the Orient if its nations are doomed

On July 13, 17S7, Dr. Elliott, a liter ary gent of London, went bolshevik with two pistols. He took two shots at perfect strangers, and! although he missed them, was arrested and tried for attempted murder.
 His lawyers had the original idea of proving him insane and irresponsible, and, if necessary, would have gotten away with it. However, it developed that pr. Elliott had omitted to put bull lets into his pistols and he was told not to do it again and turned loose. Still, his lawyers had the insanity gag all prepared. It was this: Their client did not believe that the sun was q solid ball of. fire. Hence, therefore, ergo, consequently he was insane, l. E. D. The best alienists in the land agreed with them and it would have been cinch
