SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-


We hear a lot about physi-
cal bravery. Seldom, if ever,
however, is mental bravery
lauded.
Seldom. indeed, is it ever
mentioned!
The opposite of being men
tally brave is to pity yourself!
And the person who lacks
mental bravery is likely to be
a Self-pitier.
Pity is one of the noblest
emotions we posSeSs-that is,
pity for fellow.man! But pity
for ones self-that Is differ
ent! Being sorry for yourself
is reprehensible because:
It means admission Of de-
feat. 1t shows flight instead of
fight, 1t stands for cowardice.
1t insults self-respect. 1t is
cringing. 1t is begging. Worst
of all, it kills initiative to
begin again.
Yet self pity is not so uncom-
mon an ailment. It's aStoniSh-
ing the numbers that fall in the
way of 1t.
No man, woman or child can
go through life without set
backs. When life hits it usually
hits a telling blow. But if we
all stopped at the first impact
and wept, what would become
of us? What would becom" Of
the whole structure Of civiliza-
ton?
Realize defeat. but. don't let
1t overwhelm you. Find out
why you got the worst Of it,
then take immediate steps to
see that the same thing never
happens again. Learn from the
lessons Of life, but don't sue.
cumb to them.
Every time a person pities
himself he shuts the door Of
hope. If he does it habitually
he bolts it and seals it tight.
If you happen to be q victim
make up your mind immedi-
ately to give the habit no quar-
ter until you have routed it
out and driven it far afield.

A Famous Number
By Archibald Henderson, Ph.D., Del, LID,
Famous Scientific Authority

value of the ratio is given as
256 divided by 81, which is only
about one-third Of 1 per cent in
excess Of the true value.
The three classic problems OF
antiquity were: the doubling OF
a cube, the tri-section Of an
angle, and the squaring Of cir
Gle. The last is substantially
equivalent to the determination
of pi, for the area of a circle Of
unit radius is equal to pi square
units, and if the number pi
could be expressed nationally the
whole question would be reduced
to the construction of square
of a given area.
If the Egyptian value, given
alone, were exactly correct.
then the area of the circle
would be the same as that Of
a square erected on eight-ninthS
of its diameter.
Every student of geometry

value Of pi is found in the text
books by finding the value Of
the perimeters Of regular poly
CONS circumscribed about, and
inscribed in, a circle. In this
way, for example, ArchimedeS
showed that pi lies between
3 II and 31O-71,
Certain values are worthy ol
record. Ptolemy (A.D. 1901
found an almost exact value,
correct to four decimal places.
The following values have been
computed by scientists, the
value correct to the number of
decimal places following their
names: Van Ceulen (1540-161o),
S5; Vega Q756-1802), 14O; Dase

Perhaps the most famous
number in history is not 3 or
q, the sacred numbers, or $50,
the number Of degrees in a
circumference, but the num-
ber known by the Greek letter
p, called pi. 1t represents the
ratio Of the circumference >of
a circle to its diameter. If
the diameter Of the circle we're
unity or one, then this strange
number would represent the
circumference Of the circle. It
was long known in this way.
and so appears, for example.
in Oughtred's "Claris Mathe-
maticae" edition of 164O. But
from the time of VILLA m
Jones, who gave it it's present
meaning in 1707, pi has been
taken to mean the ratio of
the circumference of a circle
to its diameter. The Greek
letter pi has come into popu-
lar use for this ratio since
its adoption by Euler in 1887.
The value Of pi is given, er-
roneously, in the Bible, more
than once. In Chronicles iv., 2,
we read: "Also he made a. mol
ten sea Of 10 cubits from brim
to brin, round in compass, and
S cubits the height thereof; and
a line of 80 cubits did compass
it round about" This is a de-
Scription of the priests bathing
pool in Solomon's Temple. Evil
IDENTIFY, the ancient Jews used
the number 3 as the ratio of the
circumference of a circle to its
diameter. This value is approx
imately S per cent short of the
actual value.
There have been many ap-
proXimations to the value of this
ratio. In the famous Rhind
Papyrus of the Egyptians (of
estimated date 1700 B. Co. the

Federal Employe Attacks
Efficiency Rating System

Federal Employe Attacks
Efficiency Rating System
Editor, Times:
A few weeks ago there was
a notice in The Times to
the effect that at a meeting of
the Second Division Post Of
the American Legion resolu'
tions were adopted urging
Congress to abolish the Bureau
of Efficiency and to transfer
it's functions to the Civil
Service Commission, and it was
also stated that the Bureau Of
Efficiency was inefficient in
the rating of disability cases
coming under the Veterans
Bureau.
I am interested in the rating
system and know something
about it. In the first place, I
would state that a lot Of the
inefficiency in ratings originate
in the bureaus or departments
where the clerks are employed,
the work performed by the
clerks being In many cases mis-
represented to the Bureau OF
Efficiency in the classification
sheets. It would be impossible
for the Bureau of Efficiency to
investigate the work that such
a large number Of clerks are
doing, but if money were ap-
propriated for a thorough in
vestigation of individual work
the true conditions that now
exist might be brought to light,
as in many cases grade 3 clerks
are doing the work which
grade 4 or 5 clerks are getting
credit for, and vice versa.
When it is decided to raise
the grade of a "favorite" clerk
q big Misrepresentation must
usually be made and the lower
graded clerks (although often
doing as important work. are
the losers in consequence.
Efficient clerks receive low
ratings frequently, either be-
cause they do not stand in"
with the rating clerk or with
the majority Of the members Of
the board Of review, and the
result is thai very often less
efficient clerk gets a higher
rating. On these ratings office
increases in salary are based. I
know one clerk with an out
standing record, a veteran, who
has not had an office pro-
motion in nine years, while
others in the same division
have had several office promo
tions in the same period, and
the veteran referred to is as
efficient, as far as quantity
and quality of work is con-
cerned. I could cite a number
Of similar instances where
capable clerks have not had an
office promotion in the past
five, six, seven and eight years
with the exception Of the
WEIGH bill increase.
There is a wave of disSatiS.
faction among Government EN-
ployes on account of the rating
system as administered by the
rating officers in the bureaus
and departments, and the only
way that the matter can be
satisfactorily remedied is for
Congress to make a sweeping
investigation Of this matter. A
