OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Hard
ing concludes his first year in the
White House today in as good health
as when he to0E the oath of office.
But such a satisfactory report will
not be made a ear hence unless the
president recalls the old adage that
each day consist. OF eight hours for
work, eight hours for play and eight
hours for sleep.
The foregoing is on the authority
of Brig. Gen. Charles E. Sawyer,
personal physician to the president,
who came with him from Marion.
The president works too much
ana plays too little" General Sawyer
sadly confessed.
He has let his job keep him too
close to his desk, taking time which
in justice to himself should have
been spent in the open air. either at
golf. walking. riding or fishing.
As VIII As Ever
Here is how General Sawyer
diagnosed The condition of his
patient:
"Thc president has gone through a
trying, strenuous year of many great
responsibilities and much anxiety in
a splendid way.
physically he Is apparently as
we'll today as when he started a,year
ago.
Regardless Of all privations Of
close confinement and lack Of usual
GU door exercises, In which he has
always engaged, he reports as near
normal today as any man could pos
sibly do. In other words, / dare say
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-03-04

py because. % he says. his job II
nat to cure tie president but to
ke5p him Well"
The president averages 20 confer
ences a day with persons worth
while. Some of these conferences
last from M u two hours, although
tie average - about 10 minutes.
Between conferences he must
study reports ar q recommendations,
read and answer letters, and often
write speeches.
There Is hardly a night but that
Mr. Harding does not carry with him
from the executive offices to his pri-
vate study in the White House inn
portant papers and reports which he
must read.
Tie night before he submitted the
arms conferences treaties to the Sem
ate MI. Harding remained awake
until 3 O'Clock writing his messages.
Even abroad the presidential
yacht Mayfiower on trips down the
Potomac, he tool papers to study
and recommendations to read.
During the yea he went to New
York twice, to New England nee
to Birmingham. and Atlanta once,
and once to yorktown, Va, and VAL
ley FcIge, Pa. Rut everywhere ne
Went there were speeches 10 ueilNcIp
reception committees to meet.
Following his Plymouth speech at
Boston he vert UP to Secretary
Weeks SUNNI home In New Hsmp-
shire for what he thought would be
a .cw days rest. II turned out to
be a festive occasion for the New
Enelanders with the president max
ing five species in one day and
travelling $50 miles in an automO-
bile fiom town to town 20 make,
them.
To Eest in Alaska
These are S me of the reasons why
General Sawyer is looking forward
TO the proposed Alaskan trip this
summer.
1t will give his patient the oppor-
turity to forget politics. to get out
into the open and to rest. 4
Before he goes to Alaska Sawyer
will ilsist that Harding play more
golf, walk more. ride more and takS.
time to 60 to baseball games.
General Sawyer has one otheE
patient--Mrs. Harding. The oficias
social duties OF the mistress Of the
White House are exacting, but the
general reports Mrs. Harding has
stood the strain well.
"She looks younger and she fee1Ds
better thar at any time in recent
years" re said.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-03-04

that Pre- sident Harding Is in prime
physical condition, equal. to what he
was a year ago.
mo ian could have improved
much under the lead that he has
carried. He has done we'll to hold
his pla7e.
mo man car come into his Office
with it's long l-ours and responsible
ties and change of normal habits, in
GLIDING official duties and official and
exdcting social obligations. and have
stood it any pstter than has Warren
G. Harding.
Must Conserve
"But." hi3 physician went on, "a
bank which psranits its to
continually dwindle away soon faces
failure. This also is true of human
beings. and TIE president is no ex-
certion."
President Harding gets great fun
out OF his golf. ssiGs from the physi-
cal benefits, and DR.. Sawyer thinks
he should have gone south during
tho winter for g week or so OF golf.
Washington weather made golf i'm
possible.

"Fact is he forgets himself eDtire-

 The more think about it, the m6re difficult it becomes for me to understand how the same "disturbance'' can work in opposite directions at the same instant.
