animal. 1t does not show training
on the contrary, it proves the lack
Of it. 1t is the submission Of the
pack-mule.
1 do not question that many per-
sons are hitched to work for which
they are unsuited. Circumstances
and necessity are holding them
where they don't want to be.
This IS unfortunate, because It
causes discomfort, Impotence, bad
humor, and unwillingness to work.
All these emotions have the effect
Of friction. They make the work
hard and firing. Under such condi-
tons It is not difficult to overwork.
One OF the uses OF exercise Is to
stimulate the action OF the heart and
lungs. 1t sends the blood in cleansing
stream to every part Of the body.
1t helps to purify the blood and pro-
mote the upbuilding of health.
II you enjoy your work, particu-
aarly If you revel in it. your emo
tional state is reflected in the same
sort of stimulation Of heart and
lungs that exercise produces. Con
eequently, the work is done easily,
fatigue does not come on, and the
JOY Of the thing makes it a pleasur-
able task.
Overwork, overworry, f~retfulness,
d~lscOntent-all these are sisters or
cousins. Certainly they belong to
the same wicked family.
Don't misunderstood me, you en-
thusiastic ones! Just because you
love your work and are keen TO do
1t. are not sufficient reasons for
working too many hours. You may
not notice the effects of hard work
and will he able to work longer and
harder than the man who hates his
work, himself and the world. But
your nerves and muscles must have
rest just the same.
Abundant and well-selected food,
plenty OF sleep and fresh air and
all the other hygienic things, are
essential to your continued we'll
being. Your eyes and all your
muscles need a change Of use.
With a carefully arranged schedule
OF work and play, Of rest and sleep,
YOU need We suffer the evil ef-
fects Of overwork. Am I not right?

] guess that sort Of a job would be hard to find,
although II it would seem to be most desirable.
Some jobs are hard because they do not ap-
peal to the mind. There is a mental antagonism
that prevents happiness and content. They give
a sense of overwork almost before they are be-
gun.
The willingness to work and much Of the abil-
ity to work hard, depend on the mental attitude.
If you can get your mind reconciled to the beauty
and attractiveness and desirability of the work
you are doing, the battle is half won.
A trained mind helps one to adapt himself
TO his surroundings. The saner you are and the
better trained, the more readily you overcome
your disgust Of a given job. In consequence,
the ease Of doing it increases.

THE SENSIBLE METHOD

For several days Mayor Paonessa
and Mayor Patterson of Hartford.
and other officials from both cities
including Edward F. Hall, New
Britain's finance expert-have been
putting their heads together to solve
the water supply problem. The out.
come has been the application of
logical principles of cooperation. In.
stead OF fighting each other, the two
largest cities In Hartford county will
join hands and be of mutual assist
ance in developing the same water
sheds. Such a method was suggested
in these columns several weeks ago
and we are pleased that the civic
potentates have agreed to be friend
~ and be Of service to one another.
Under such a reciprocaearrange-
ment neither city can lose and the
surrounding towns served from the
same source likewise will receive
their full quota of water.

AN UNEARNED PENSION

If the story is true that the d.
rectors OF the Standard Oil Co, of
Indiana have voted a pension of
$4,000 a year to Colonel Robert W.
Stewart. who was deposed as chair
man Of the company through the
activities of John d. Rockefeller, Jr,
1t contributes dismal chapter to the
story Of this oil concern. Nothing is
more likely to confirm the growing
belief OF the average man in the in
equalities of opportunity and re-
Enumeration for services to society
than a story that a deposed oil
executive is granted the princely sum
of $4,000 year. The average in.
dividual will not regard such a pen
sion as pay for long years of service
with the company.
1t may be that the Indiana Stand
ard in this manner buys off Colonel
Stewart from being identified with
any competing oil company. as it is
said he threatened to do. The
ordinary individual will conclude,
however. that $4,000 year for
doing nothing is a rather high sum
to pay any man at any time.

WHITE HOUSE ENTERTAINMENT

1t is seen by the papers that a
moving picture machine has been a

The net result will be that whenever
President and Mrs. Hoover want TO
enjoy talking picture they will re-
pair to the projection room to look
