INDICATING THE
LAZY MAN
BY Sue Core

The world, thank heaven, is
comfortably full Of inherently lazy
souls who cringe and shudder in
wardly when brought into init
mate contact with those fearfully
energetic personages whose physi-
cal mechanisms seem to run by
electric dynamos.
Everyone knows the type OF per-
son meant-the fellow who, instead
of burying his head under the pill
low or sleepily stuffing the alarm
clock under the blankets in hopes
of one more snooze in the cold
gray dawn, bounds briskly out Of
bed at the first tinkle of the buzz
ger. Once up, he seizes a pair
of dumb bells, starts the phono-
araph and proceeds to get himself
all red and sweaty trying to car
ry out someone's idea Of reducing
to music.
After the monkey drill is over,
! he skips light-heartedly into a
cold shower where he grits his

ityk to the extreme discomfort Oh
all the lazy souls thereabouts.
Athletic faddists have for SO
long laid down that particular Tor,
mula as being the only one method
for conscientious citizen to start
the day, that it puts the mark OF
shame upon those subscribing TO
any other method of procedure.
Disciples of the cat method OF
Weakening are legion, but they keep
so quiet about their degenerate
tendencies along that line that one
is likely to forget or overlook
their existence. This is the class
who, after certain amount OF
outside stimuli has been applied,
opens first one arm or leg, yawns
again and then stretches the other.
At the end of more or less pro-
tracted period Of doing and
stretching, he manages to get his
feet on the floor and then slumps
here, stretching and yawning some
more, while reflecting sourly up
on a world where people have to
get up mornings, poor slaves.
A sleepy shuttle to the bath
room for a shame and bath, which
starts in with luke-warm water
and ends up just comfortably cool,
puts enough life into the old organ
ism to gets its feet under the table.
Not until the coffee and toast have
disappeared, however, is he really
wide awake.
This regime is followed fairly
closely by the majority Of our fell
low humans of both sexes, but, be-
cause of the stigma attached to
the un-Spartan laziness Of such a
program, no one admits it unless
he is compelled to. The virulently
athletic boys are the ones who
broadcast their personal habits to
the wide world.
To incurable sleepy-heads, as
well as to those who are averse to
xercise except in comfortable mod
crate doses, the recent words of
two learned men, will be welcome
as an oasis in a desert.
DR.. Jesse F. Williams, physical
education professor at Columbia
University, is virulently attacking
the strenuous manner Of beginning
the day. He scornfully labels set
ting-up exercises as ridiculous and
criminal, says cold baths when
first awakening are injurious, and
brands the alarm clock as a work
Of the devil. Furthermore, he comes
out strongly for the feline manner
of re-establishing ones contact
with the early morning world.
Close upon the heels of his an
nouncement, came the words of
George Jean Nathan, who, writing
in the Outlook Magazine, insists
that human muscles don't need
much exercise Of any kind and GER
tainly not strenuous exertion. He
says, walking, pushing open doors
and closing windows, getting in and
out of taxicabs, waving ones
hand at friends across the street
that is enough exercise for any
one"
This, by the way, is a construct
i've step toward making the world
safe for the lazy man, which it is
far mrom being at the present
time.

HLester Foraker Ill; DIR. Spaulding
Takes Precautions to Prevent
COntagiOn

Lester Foraker, son of N. L.
Foraker, is suffering from case
of cerebo-spinal meningitis, which
developed Tuesday. This is the con-
atagious type, and special precau-
tions are being taken by DR.. L. G.
Spaulding, health officer, to pre-
vent the development of other such
cases.
q He is making daily inspection
of all school children, and those
with sore throats or colds are be-
ing sent home. Parents are asked
to cooperate with DR.. Spaulding in
keeping the children at home UNI
til the throats have cleared up. No
child will be re-admitted until ex-
amined by the doctor. This does
not mean that the child is stay out
of school and roam the streets, DR..
Spaulding said. He is to stay
where he will have no opportunity
to spread contagion should he be
carrying it.
There is no cause Tor panic,
Spaulding continued, but sane
attitude on the part Of all the COM
munity will aid in combining the
disease to one case. The schools
viii not be closed because Spauld-
ing feels that better control can be
used when he can have daily SUI
pervision through the medium of
the school.
Symptoms of the cerebo-spinal
meningitis begin with sore
throat and severe headache. Delir-
ium comes suddenly and is follow
ed by a high temperature and vorn-
iting. The germ enters the sys-
tenn through the nose and throat,
and this is why children with these
parts infected are sent home.

wander up and down the little streets border
ed with early American homes; they visit the
old Raleigh Tavern, where was born the Phi
Beta Kappa Society; they gaze upon the old
prison, which once secured the followers Of
Blackboard the Pirate, as well as other noto-
rious characters; they stand In the quiet, shaded
old churchyard where are buried three Colonial
Governors and the ancestors Of Martha wash

That Williamsburg Is to be part Of the new
Colonial National Monument seems most fitting
but just how the Government agents and Rock
erfeller win arrange the details Is yet to be
worked out.
DR. GOODWIN Of Williamsburg. who in-
spired the restoration program, says:
Jamestown and Williamsburg have prepared
the way to the fame OF Yorktown. The three
are inseparable. Williamsburg was the offspring
Of jamestown. jamestown, with the turn Of the
seventeenth century, passed away. Williams
burg inherited all that was Jamestowns. Yet
throughout It's splendid career Williamsburg
never sought TO Cvershadow, but rather to point
to the golden memories which hover around
the little island in the James Rfver-childhood
memories Of America"
Perhaps Of the entire area circumscribed by
the proposed Colonial National Monument
jamestown Island Is the most unique In In
terest Romance has camped on It's shores ever
since that May day In 1907 when Captain
John Smith and his three little ships arrived.
jamestown Island was~a part Of the royal do
main Of the Indian King, Powhatan. Powhatan
had . daughter. And thus started what has
been termed the First American romance"
The story Of the Indian princess Pocahon-
tas, Is known TO every school child In the
country. From the first the Englishmen evoked
her sympathy. The old Chickahominy River
which meanders out Of the James River below
Green Spring, q spot 70 be included In the new
monument, witnessed the capture Of Capt
John Smith by Opechancanough, q brother Of
Powhatan. He was led all over Tidewater, even
to the Potomac, Is an evidence Of Indian tri-
umph, and was finally brought to Powhantan's
court and there prepared for execution. At that
moment there took place one Of the most
dramatic scenes in history. The following ac-
count Is taken from writings by Capt. Smith:
1.-TWO great stones were brought and betwixt
them my head was layde and the savages be-
ing ready TO beate out by braines. when Poca-
hontas, the Kings dearest daughter. no en-
treaty could prevaile, took my head In her arms
and laid her owne upon It to save me from
death"
MORE THAN 800 years have passed. yet
every now and then some historian arises
to wonder II the Indian princess loved the val
liant captain. who mentions her In other Of his

ownership Of Uncle Sam and distinguished with
che title "The Colonial National Monument"

A. Z. Demaray. acting director OF the Ma

"Our immediate interest" said Mr.. Demaray,
when approached upon the subject, sis In the
Battlefield OF Yorktown. The bill authorizes the
Government to acquire not in excess Of 1000
acres OF land on the battlefield Is part OF the

October, 1891, when the i5Oth, anniversary OF
the surrender OF the Br1tasn AZ xofkDoWm VIII

proposed new national monument ahead Of the
celebration, we may be able to install water
supply and sanitary facilities which win not
only be convenient for those who attend the
celebration. but viii become permanent part
Of the facilities in the new monument. You
may know that the national monuments are
about the same as national parks. except that
they are usually set aside chiefly on account Of
their historic or scientific interest rather than
mere scenic beauty. One must also recog-
nize that before the area Is set aside for pub
lie use there are several difdcult problems to
be overcome. We hope to have the co-opera-
ton OF the owners Of the land which we de-
sire to acquire IN order to avoid condemnation
PROCEEDINGS. We expect TO have the co-opera-
