WASHINGTON. March G. -
President Harding concludes his
first year in the White House Sat
urday in as good health as when
he took the oatH Of, Office.
But such a satisfactory report
will not bo made a year hence un-
less the president recalls the old
adage that each day consists Of
eight hours for work, eight hours
for play and eight hours for sleep.
The foregoing is on the author
ity OF Brig. Gen. Charles E. Saw
yer, personal physician to the presi-
dent, who came with him from Ma
rlon.
"The president works too much
and 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 Well As Ever
Hero is how General Sawyer
Hagnoshd the condI .3a OF his
patient:
1.-THE president has gone through
a trying, strenuous year OF many
great responsibilities and much
anxiety In splendid way.
physically lie Is apparently as
we'll today as when he started a
year ago.
Regardless OF all prIvations OF
close confinement and lack Of US
ual outdoor exercises, In which he
has always engaged, he reports MS
near normal today as any man
could possibly do. In other words,
I dare say that President Harding
is In prime physical condition,
equal to what he was a year ago.
mo man could have improved
much under the load that he has
carried. He has done we'll to hold
his place.
mo man can come into his office
with It's long hours and RESPONSE
hilities AID change Of normal hab.
It's. including official duties and
official and eSacting social obliga-
tons, and have stood 1t any better
than has Warren G. Harding.
Must Conserve
But" his physician went on, "a
bank which permits its resources
TO continually dwlndle away so0u
faces fixture. This also Is true OF
human beings. and the president Is
no exception"
President Harding gets great ft,s
out Of his golf, aside from the ply
seal bArofits. end DR.. Sawyer
thinks he SHOULD have gone south
during the winter for a week or
so OF golf. Washington weather
made golf impossible.
HE should do 1t now he de-
c!ared.
Facts Is he forgets himself en-
tirely and devotes himself to the
duties of his office. He is unfair
to himself"
General Sawyer has determined
that from now on his patient must
do more ito maintain himself to q
high degree OF physical fitness" :
i He has advised the president that
physically "he must be an example
to the rest OF the nation"

Gross income does not neces-

merchant, for instance, in comput-

this case.
A lawyer who is married and

HAS LARGEST INCOME
New York State Gets Eighth Of
Total for the Nation.
Analysis of Distribution of Income
by States Shows Diversity in Per
Capita Income in Different
States

New York-New York leads every
state in the Union with an annual in
| come of $9074, S59,OOO or more than
one-eighth of the total national in
! come, according to figures announced
| by the National Bureau of Economic
Research, Inc. Nevada brings up the
rear of the procession of states with
| 65,791 900 as the total income re-
ceived by its inhabitants.
These figures form part of an ex-
haustive investigation of incomes in
the United States, made by the re-
search staff of the National Bureau
Wesley G. Mitchell The bureaus re-
port on Distribution of Income by
States" prepared by Oswald w.
Knauth, shows the extraordinary di-
versity in the per capita income Of
people In different parts of the coun-
try.
While per capita income in the
United States as a whole in 1919 was
$627, the per capita income in the re-
gion embracing the Pacific states was
S796 and in the middle Atlantic states
$783. In the south central and east
south central states the rate sank to
S463 and 1864, respectively.
New York State also heads the list
Of per capita incomes, striking an
average of 1914. Nevada. California,
Wyoming, Massachusetts and Wash
ington are next with per capita in
comes around $500. The people of
the middle Atlantic states alone re-
ceived more than one-fourth of the
entire income of the country in 1919,
and with the east north central states
received nearly one-half of it. On
the other hand, the people of the
twelve Southern states, comprising
more than 81 per cent of the popula-
ton, received less than Is per cent OF
the total national income
Farmers in the Pacific states in 1919
had an average income of more than
$500, in the west north central states
their average was $1,000. These fig
ures are in excess of the average OF
ST., $50 for farmers in New England,
81 $40 in south Atlantic states and less
than $1,000 in the east south central
states
The total income of the south is de-
rived largely from farming. The south
Atlantic states draw about one-fOurth
of their income from this source and
the south central states about one
third. The only other group of states
that is equally dependent on farming
is the west north central states, which
draw about one-third of their income
from this source. New England and
the middle states draw less than 4 per
cent of the income from agriculture.

@SEE MY LAWYER"
WITH T. ROY BARNES

The worlds greatest authors and
pOsseSsOrs of the most vivid imagina-
lions are not the authors of history
or the men from whose pens came the
six best sellers, but the fellow who
writes the stock prospectus for the
fIy-by-night million-dollar proposition
that pays enoromus dividends, pro-
viding promisese can be traded for
cash.
At least that is the claim of T. Roy
Barnes, the inimitable star who is
appearing in "See My Lawyer" in
which he plays the role of the en-
bryo promoter, who, thinking he has
the greatest of inventions, starts out
to set the world afire, and drain the
public of it's hard-earned gold. The
picture starts tomorrow at the Liber-
ty theater TO ra run of two days.
In the role of Robert Gardner who
finances fluke rubber scheme for a
flukier inventor T. Roy Barnes is seen
in the most eccentric and most humor-
GUS character of his career. Robert
Gardner is an affable sort OF chap,
head over heels in love, ambitious to
be known as a leader and momen-
tary success so that when Trueman
the inventor comes into the plot, he
Is welcomed with open arms by Gard
ner, who sees him as his long looked
for opportunity.
Like many men who believe in their
scheme thinking it to be method to
revolutionize the worlds Industries,
the anxious promoter gets just bit
too INSCRIPTIONS. So much SC In fact
that the ever watchful postal auth
critics call him to time. Then his
troubles begin. An effort to pose as
an insane man is Of no avail, since
they only threaten to land him in a
padded cell, which mans not only the
loss Of the business, but broken
engagement with his fiance, whom he
loves more than the money he expect
ed to make with his startling seheme.
To toll the entire outcome Of the
complex and humorous plot Of "See
Ny Lawyer" would be spelling the
treat in store when this feature is
shown.
