BIG STRAIN



ence knows better than the public
commonly does, how devastating
thing fatigue may be and how much
it has had to do with public episodes
as to which history has assigned
quite different causes.
Wilson's Case.
Between the Woodrow Wilson. who
was a world hero in the summer of
1918 and the Woodrow Wilson, who
was such a tragic figure in the sum-
mer of 1920. there is no difference
whatever, except nervous exhaustion.
| This is not the place and there Is
not room to go into the pathological
phases of the history of Wilson's last
three years, but it can be taken fully
for granted that what happened to him
and all that happened to the world
because of what happened to him,
rests on the single fact that he be-
came excessively tired. that he re-
fused to rest or to unshoulder some of
his duties on others, and that his re-
: fusal to renew his nervous reservoirs
led to conditions progressively worse.
How deep can be the effects OF
fatigue on men who carry heavy dut-
. les can only be realized by one who
has watched it happen. The world
one day is as good as another day, and
of judgment that may hang upon the
| mere fact of whether a man is tired
or refreshed.

employees. The rate of pay given these
employees is still the same as it was

promptly. And then he proceeded to
forget all about Jane in his interest in
what his father was doing.
But alas for Junior! Soon, much
too soon. Junior thought, the car was
declared in order and Mr.. Johnston
jumped in and hurried off to business.

an hour since breakfast and he really
wasn't what you might call hungry

anything good!
Junior crept up the kitchen steps
across the back porch and peeped into
the workshop where goodies were
manufactured.
Great things were evidently going
on for the tables were full of bottles
and pans; his mother was working

And the little vessel tossed,

But Columbus he was stout of heart
And he did not finch nor quail.

And when his men thought all was lost
And formed a mutinous band,

Where white man e'er had trod;

that awfully good smell made a person
so very hungry, he couldn't do a single
thing and Jane seemed to be very i'm
portant 1t didn't seem quite right,
someway.
Suddenly a happy thought occurred
to him. Why couldn't he help with
jam even though he was boy? Why
couldn't he be around where things
were to be tasted too?
IF you're making all that JAM" he
said suddenly, as he looked at the
piles of pinky fruit in the basket,
don't you need some other person to
help too%
1--WE certainly do" replied Mrs.
Johnston cordially, but what can you
do?"
Junior didn't know.
But seeing that he really meant his
offer Mrs. Johnston put her thinking
cap on and thought up Jobs. Not play

done jam his mother had given him
at the, end of his third task, that
jobs in a kitchen were so much fun.
Is this what you always like, Jane?"
Jane, who always had loved help
ing her mother, replied, Eyes, oh, yes,
and Junior it's more fun to cook and
make things and everything. It's a
lot more fun than fussing with old
dirty cars like you always want to-"
Junior couldn't answer for at that
minute his mother gave him another
job, and next thing he knew, the
honk of horn at the side of the
house told him it was lunch time
just imagine! Lunch time already!-
and his father was back home.
Look at the jam we've made,"
exclaimed Junior proudly, as he hailed
his father from the kitchen door,
I'VE made it all ourselves--Jane and

jobs, just to pretend to help, but
really truly jobs that would count.
There were glass jars to be brought
up from the store room. and rubbers
to be hunted out of the drawer in
the kitchen cabinet, and pans of peel
ings, sweet. drippy peelings to be
taken out to the garbage can, and.
oh, every so many things to be done
that a boy could do.
Il never knew" he remarked as
he polished off a spoonful of half
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1921-10-05

Junior, dear, and don't bother US. And
then as soon as the first jam is done
and ready to put on some bread, wen
call you"
That tempting promise should have
made Junior very happy, but somehow
it didn't satisfy him one bit. He started
to go out to the roadway where his
mobile waited for him and then he
stopped in the doorway, thinking.
Funny how he had thought Jane
couldn't do anything and now when
