CRANK ABOUT EXERCISE

CRANK ABOUT EXERCISE
 Members of my family sometime4 complain bitterly that whatever they complain of seems always to call for fresh air and exercise. Meaning they have to groan like the devil to get an okeh for any medicine from me. But then, a doc- tor, even real doctor, should ney- CT attempt to treat members of his family or even more distant rela- tives.
 I do believe a reasonable amount of exercise is good for nearly every- body. It is perfectly evident, to my mind, that 6 great many people, suffered from lack of, neglect of or insufficient cultivation of daily exercise = physical work, playing games, athletics or just gymnastio or calisthenic exercise.
 For the geek who conducts this column 8 fair minimum amount of exercise for day consists og, say 8 dozen rolls, dozen of each of the movements of the Last Brady Sym in ''The ' Reyes to Vite' (for copy send 25 cents and stamped pre-ad- dressed envelope), half a dozen runs up and down one flight of stairs, walk of seven blocks to the bowling green, one or two games of lawn bowls, 8 walk back home, three or four sprints upstairs to the studio to see that all the girls punch the time clock etc., and SO another day. That is the minimum amount of physical activity for a mature adult, I believe.
 Now listen to this Montreal lad. He is 64 and for five years he has spent 20 to 30 minutes every morn- ing in bending exercises, in spite of the views of some authorities about the dangers of exercise for persons past fifty or sixty. Moreover he does 1000 of the standing and touching toes bends, or else 1000 lying-on~ ck-and-raising -legs-to-vertical.
 A thousand times at a seances mark you!
 The lad says he started that with the idea of correcting consti- patton, and he thinks it has help. ed. But now he wonders whether there is any actual danger to ths heart or arteries if he continues his daily stint as described.
 First. don't believe exercise Is particularly good for constipation, kor rather should say reasonable amount of exercise daily-such as walking three to six miles-will do everything for constipation that and more strenuous exercise possi- ply can do.
 Whether the lad should go right on doing his thousand setting-u movements daily he himself can an- swer far better than can. If hs feels oke immediately after ths seaance and one or more hours aft erward, the indulgence is oke. If he doesn't feel fine and dandy right after the exercise or an hour or two afterward, then he had better ease down to a reasonable number of movements at each seance-from half dozen to twenty or thirty. If he still doesn't feel so good after the exercise, then he had better consult his physician.

Progressive Education" has not been much of success, so claim leading edu- cators, among them Rev. J. Hugh O'Don- nell, president of the University of Notre Dame. Father O'Donnel puts it rather neatly when he says "too many schools went on a pedagogical joyride." He and other educators encourage the return of curricula that embrace the liberal arts with religion forming part of the edu- cational program.

of gloom gives extreme annoyance to the onward and upward prophets of optimistic postwar planning.
 Undersecretary of Commerce Wayne Chatfield Taylor, speaking at New Orleans the other day, took or casion to blast at the individuals who talk mournfully about how terrible peace is going to be-"
 Secretary Taylor referred speci- flcally to imported economist" saying, "It is difficult to understand why some of us insist on paying fat fees to those gentlemen for telling us that democracy will surely fail in the United States because certain half-hearted attempts failed in Ger many"
 AS ONE ''IMPORTED ECONOMIST" SEES IT
 One of those he apparently had in mind was Dr. Julius HirSch, New York, economist who at recent New York and Boston conferences on management and distribution took occasion to heckle the undersecre- tary and Dr. Amos Taylor, head of the Bureau of Foreign and Domes- tic Commerce.
 Hirsch, a former minister of fin ance in Germany, made his way to Denmark with the advent of Hitler, lectured at University of Copen- hagen, then was permitted to cross Siberia to Japan, where he lectured for short time before coming to the United States and setting up as an economic consultant for hire.
 Hirsch's position is that def1ation has already started, that wishful thinking cannot produce 60 million jobs and that the best possible pri- vate industry employment not counting those on public works pro- jects - will be in the neighborhood of 49 million jobs.
 The viewpoint of Hirsch and simi- larly minded gents may be not so much pesSimistic as merely realistic in demanding to be shown where all these jobs are coming from. But on top of this there has now come a new not demand to know why it is necessary to have 60 million people employed, and charge that 60 million jobs would mean the end of the American way of life.
 Most vocal exponent of this idea is William F. O'Neil of Akron, pres idenS of General Tire, who, point ing out that there are 135 million people in the U s. and that the average family consists of four and a half persons, says that Sixty mil lion jobs would mean two jobs to every family, and this is too much"
 America has been built around the family" ONeil goes on ''The man of the house works to provide his wife and children with home, To supply 60 million jobs is to break up that home because it means that the wife, to, will prob ably be working It means fewer children, and they will have to bring themselves up as best they can, until they can stop into one of those 60 million jobs themselves
 O'Neu's formula is first to see how much manufactured or grown pro- duce can be assimilated, then see how productive work can be given to the heads of families. The weak spot in his argument is that it makes no provision for the millions of young folks able to work but not able to step right into family res possibilities.
 Aside from that, maybe he is aim- ing at something real and the sights have been set too high in shooting at 60 million jobs.

Laird Creegar who was a stage and screen villain and character actor had brief life on and off the stage. He was only 28 years of age but had already be- come the subject of quite little critical discussion. The obituaries all com mented on the fact that he very quickly lost 100 of his three hundred pound weight. Massiveness seemed to become him in the type of role that was assigned to him.

 Sirius now on the Eastern horizon before 10 p. m. is a great twinkler. If you heard a favorite quiz on the radio the other night you will have heard that some stars twinkle considerable which is most conspicuous near the horizon because the air is thicker there.
