SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Brice BeIden-

Are you efficient?
Industry and war. In fact, all the
exactioKis Of modern life, combine
to make this 4 paramount ques-
ton.
This was, indeed, an urgent
question during the great war. 1t
was then that the problem of
adaptabiIity for all kinds of work,
physical and mental. under all
kinds OF conditions became one of
supreme Importance. Special tests
were devised for vocational seIec-
ton, and prospective pilots might
have been seen blowing UP a col
umn of mercury until they became
purple in the face. Others put
dots in the centeis of small, circles
which passed before them on ro-
tating drums. Others passed or
failed in so-called intelligence tests
which selected men suitable for po-
sitions of authority. Since the
war, experiments and inquiries into
physical fitness generally have
been carried on by the industrial
fatigue research board in Great
Britain, and a long series Of ex.
perimental tests have been carried
out.
It was found that the column of
mercury test, devised for testing
the lungs of would.be airmen,
caused slowing Of the pulse, which
became more marked as work In a
factory proceeded Thus a me.
chanicS doing heavy work in a boot
and shoe factory would take his
first test at 8 a. M, after an hour
of work, and his pulse would slow
10 beats per minute.
Fatigue is difficult, perhaps i'm.
possible, to define and much more
difficult to measure, but the ex.
periments led to a careful exanni-
nation OF this test. 1t was found
that the more unfit men showed
the greatest variations in pulse
rate and also in blood pressure.
The trouble was that a man of
poor physique who was not sensi.
tive to discomfort might do better
than a highly sensitive athlete.
The mental effect of preparing
for any test has to receive most
careful attention. Some people
are very nervous and their pulses
race from this cause alone. More
over, the muscular tone of the alb.
dominal wall plays a part: the va
riations In pulse rate are smaller
when a tight belt is worn.
Pulse rates, of course, vary
enormously with the individual.
They decrease as age advances.
Women have faster pulses than
men. The best athletes have low
pulse rates. All sorts of factors,
such as weight. state of training,
temperature and time of day,
have an effect. Pulse rates rise
with external temperature, and
work is less efficiently performed
as the air gets hotter.
Among the many tests of eff.
cheney an excellent one is to take
the pulse rate before and after
stepping up and down step IL
inches high for two minutes, the
rate being about 80 times N a
minute.
There is, however, no real test
for any and every kind of occupa-
ton. other than the old way OF
trial and error. Physical fitness
is relative and does not necessar-
lily mean good physique. The
efficient performance Of work
means the harmonious interac-
ton of all the systems OF the
body. No single measure can be
an infallibEe guide. Each In
dividuaI has an optimum OF speed
and general conditions, and no
stereotypeG test can he success
ful IA vocational selection.

WORLD TRAVELER REACHES SEWARD
 LIKES ALASKA
AMERICANS SHOULD SEE NORTH ERN EMPIRE FIRST BEFORE
 GOING OLD WORLD

A likable young chap, we'll over the 6O-year mark, arrived in Seward Fri day from the Interior in the person of George ID. Kirkham, world traveller, but he hestitated here but briefly for upon being informed the Steamer Aleutian was sailing for out West, the outermost fringe of the United States, he immediately made reser- vations for the roundtrip for, as he put it, T don't want to miss thing in this most wonderful of countries have yet visited"
 While in the Interior MT. Kirkham took in all the sights around Fair banks, visited Mckinley National Park, and other scenic marvels in those areas. He is sincerely enthus- iastic over what he has seen and the people, climate and scenery more than equals other places he has visit ed on this, his third year, of globe trotting. He has two more years of travel yet to go,- making a total of five years to circle the world.
 His greatest thrill was when he witnessed for the first time the sev- eral glaciers in Alaska, Harding Gateway, out of Seward, majestic Mount Mckinley and the Alaska Col lege. All these points should be visit ed by Americans before visiting the Old World, he said. America First, gives an American better insight of his own wonderful country and prepares him to better make compar- isons.
 Mir Kirkham speaks in the highest of terms of the splendid treatment of the officers and people, all down the line, of the Alaska Steamship Company and the Alaska Railroad. Commodore Kirkham says he leaves Seward again after a most enjoyable visit among the people here whom he found to be most active and hospit- able Upon his arrival at Seattle, he sails for Australia, Africa and then Europe. By next month he will have visited all of American terr- itories. The Commodore is a charterI member of the Chicago Athletic Assc, and a prominent Rotarian. Tn years past he was manager of the Chicago Athletic Assc., football team when the present Mayor, William Hale Thompson, was captain.
 The Commodore was presented al medal by Judge Gary, of the United States Steel Corp, for 40 years ser vice during which time he held office in various parts of America for the corporation; he was sales agent of the American Steel & Wire Co., part of the U. s. Steel Corporation at Mem phis, Tenn. In passing thru Seward this morning, NIT. Kirkham said he had great trip to the Westward on the Aleutian.
