Harding'S Aides
Keep in Trim By :
Walks and TrampS

Washington. - President Harding's
cabinet today is fully as athletic as
any Of it's predecessors, to judge by
the activities Of its members during
their off-hours around Washington.
Be it said in the beginning, how
ever. that these "off-hours" are not
numerous at present.
Not only the cabinet but many
members of congress have joined in
the wave of physical culture which
has swept over the capital since the
president became so active on links
and afield.
The new fad takes various forms.
Secretary of the Navy DENLY, a vet
eran OF navy and. marine corps, is a
farmer when he has time; Secretary
of Labor Davis keeps in training by
eating only the lightest of lunches;
several officials do away with the
lunch hour altogether, and most of
them are enthusiastic hikers.
The most strenuous devotees of the
latter recreation, however, belong to
what is known unofficially as "The
Statesmen's Marching Club" and it
lives up to its name. Its principal
members are Colonel Theodore Roose
welt. Ir assistant secretary of the
navy; Senator James Wadsworth, New
York and Representative Nick" Longs
worth Ohio. Colonel Roosevelt who
is also one of the 'lights lunchers. q"

The rough garb affected by the club
has led to a number of complications.
Recently, while the trio were resting
in a bosky section near Washington,
they overheard the mother of several
children who had been picnicking
nearby warn her husband to keep an
eye on the children, because | think
there are three horrid tramps over by

Told to Separate

London. Unhappy husbands, and
wives should be forced to live apart
temporarily, DIR. Helen Boyle, head
of big Brighton hospital, told the
British Medical Association, meeting at
Newcastle.
In this manner. added Or. Boyle,
many martial ,'rrouches" would dis
appear, and divorce lawyers would bo
deprived of most Of their business.
"Unhappiness is only disease,
said Dr. Boyle. who recently returned
from the United States where she in
vestigated mental cures. at is not
normal for a man or woman to be un-
happy for more than n short time and
it is the BUSINESS of doctors TO make
that known to everyone.
We should have special wards in
our hospitals for persons seriously az.
flicted with unhappiness. They should
have highly trained nurses who know
how 10 drive away the blues Doctors
should prescribe temporary separa-
tions, trips TO the movies. sea voy-
ages-anything to break up spells OF
unhappiness
Dr. Boyle gave the medicos another
thing To think about In her lecture on
unhappiness.
"A patient who is under weight and
at the same time unhappy cannot be-
cured merely by mental treatment or
change in surroundings" he said. The
first task should he to bring him back
TO normal weight, then the treatment
becomes easy and effective"
The Evening disagrees with DR.
Doyles suggestion for temporary sep.
arauons. but on purely practical
grounds. There is such shortage of
dwelling houses and apartments the
world over. says the News that IL
husbands and wives lived apart there
wouldn't be enough houses to go

tions which drive her people away, the
great central empire will In genera
tion or so be largely depopulated.
This result fits in with the French
policy Of ending the German menace.
The only thing that has hitherto re-
strained the French was the hope that
Germany could be made to pay for her
own financial recovery. Once France
becomes convinced that Germany can
not, or will not pay, her whole aim will
be to make Germany impossible as the
home Of a population larger tnan her
own.
France Coming Into Her Own
France is in q position which she has
sought to achieve ever since the signing
Of the armistice. She has her Euro
pean allies solidly behind her, and this
country Is no longer meddlng in. The
United States Is a factor only through
her power to cancel the Allied war
loans, and that Is Il power so danger
Gus politically that the Harding nd
lninistration cannot act quickly.
The situation confronting Harding
resembles that which confronted vii.

There Is this difference: Europe was

over, Europe apparently is united nov
on a policy which means the turning o

circles that an unbiased perusal Of the
German reply did not warrant hasty
adverse judgments, such as were re-
ported from London and Paris. IL was
declared the German proposals repre- :
sented liberal reparation settlement.
There was official denial today OF re-
ports that the German counter offers
we're represented MS an equivalent Of the
200, 900, 900, 900 marks demanded In the
Paris terms, but that this sum, redis.
counted, represented the present capital
Of 30, 900 900 900 marks. The latter
sum was made a basis for the present
German offer, 1t was said.
Carl Bergman, financial expert with
the German representatives in London
has pointed out that 90. 900, 900 900 gold
marks paid in thirty years would be the
sum Germany was willing to acknowl l.
edge as her reparation obligation.
It was said the total represented more
than one half of the forty-two annui
ties demanded in the Paris program, bu'
was payable In considerably shorter
period. Germany's ability to pay this
total was largely dependent upon the
revival Of her export activities, and, al
this revival was likely to be slow, the
German schedule Of payments provided
for a gradually ascending scale.
