FEW MOMENTS
 CAN HARDING
 CALL HIS OWN
BY COL. WINFIELD JONES Especial Correspondence)

dent Harding, it is generally acknowl- edged by the Washington observers, is one of the most working presidents we have ever had. Indeed, some of alarmed at his close attention to his White House duties, and some even think the president is overworking himself Fears have been expressed for his health on numerous occa- sions, but he laughs at the warnings. MT. Harding certainly looks like he could stand the most herculean labors.
 The president is naturally of a TO- bust and healthy nature. He is strong physically and mentally. But above all, as the best preservative of his health, he takes regular exercise daily. This is in the shape of golf, played either on the municipal link } near the historic Washington monu- ment, or at the Chevy Chase Club. The president never fails to play his round, rain or shine, and this per haps does more than anything else to keep him in perfect physical trim.
 Then, too, the presidents habit of mind, it might be called, is a useful factor in keeping him strong and we'll MT. Harding is never hur- ried, never worried, and does not get in fret as so many big ;nen do when things begin to press heavily or when work piles up that needs i'm mediate attention.
 Golf and the presidents tranquil mind, coupled with his splendid physique, are the things that his friends believe will enable him to stand the tremendous strain of his official duties.
 The president has mental faculty which many men in great positions do not possess. That Is the ability to instantly transfer his thoughts from one problem to another, and not to worry over anything that has been considered and decided, or anything that needs future consideration and decision. MT. Harding is able to turn his attention from one subject to the other on an instant's notice, and dis pose of the matter in hand with good judgment and quick decision.
 Anyone who believes that the of. flee of president of the United States is sinecure should pass an average day with Mir Harding Often he is up very early and perhaps will play a round of golf before breakfast. Or if not played early in the morn ing the golf game will be played in fast and is at work in his study early in the morning when most big executives are getting out of bed The day at the White House is in- variably an exceedinly busy one. From early morning to late in the afternoon business proceeds with dis patch. Never day passes without the president seeing scores of wis., ttors and sandwiched fin between the callers by appointment are nearly always delegations of various kinds from many sections of the country, sometimes numbering hundreds of people, who want to meet the presi- dent and shake his hand. MT Hard ing sees them all and his day is always a crowded one. In addition to many members of congress on -errands of various kinds the office seekers appear daily in large num- bers at the White House. MT. Hard ing sees them, too. Then there are cabinet meetings which take up time, and twice a week the presi- dent meets the corps of Washington newspaper correspondents. From
 
 morning to night Mr. Harding hard ly has a minute he can call his own, for all his time is taken up with the public business.
 There are other things that are a great aid to MT. Harding in his tremendous labors for the public. One is his effective and extraordin- arily able private secretary, George B. Christian, Jr., and the other Is the splendid cabinet that he has to as- sist him.
 MT. Christian. it is generally &C., knowledged, is the best private sec retary that Washington has seen in the White House for years. He is able to transact public business with the same facility, good judment, and
