your holiday costs nothing, takes
no time and requires only little
effort-refusing to take the drink
you can't handle. yielding the
right-of-way, waiting for the light
to change, discarding a string of
Christmas tree lights with worn
insulation.
These are little things-but
they pay off big in happiness.
They will keep the lights burning
Evening star., 1948-08-15

TIVE Mmrays have just returned from their
l. two-week vacation. All year they work
hard. Joe runs his own construction company
and puts in overtime six days week. Edna
has house and two small children to look
after. In the evening she types letters for her
husband. Sometimes they're up until two or
three in the morning discussing his latest
business plans.
The Mmrays rarely take time out for re-
Taxation, so they built their vacation around
rest and play. They slept late mornings, ate
long and leisurely breakfasts, played regular
rounds of golf and occasional sets of tennis,
and, of course, went swimming daily in the
lake. They were certain they would come
home refreshed, all set for another so weeks
of sharing their noses with the grindstone.
Getting Old?
lHEY were wrong. Today they are as tired
and worn out as they we're before their con-
centrated resting spree. Their vacation
scheme failed.
I'VE must be getting DID," Joe murmus
dejectedly. I'VE just don't have the pep we
used to have"
Joe and Edna Murray labor under COM
mon delusion. They think they can save up
resting time and then spend it all at once, at
their convenience. They do not realize that
rest alone, even n six-months' vacation,
will not ''set them up,' because their
problem is not physical fatigue. Scien-
fists who have been studying fatigue have
come to the conclusion that the kind of tired
ness the Murays are trying to cure is practi-
cally extinct in our mechanized society.
Dr.. w. H. Forbes, formerly assistant direc-
tor of the Harvard Fatigue Laboratory, says,
IF we were to test Joe Murray on his way to
work in the morning and again on his way
back after rough day at the Office we
would find no change in his body condition"
Tracking Down Fatigue
HARVARD researchers speak with well earned
authority. To track down the solutions to
your fatigue problems they have followed
fatigue all over the country. They've tested
thousands of subjects - marathon runners,
Office workers, children and octogenarians,
college professors and lumberjacks. They've
raced them through treadmills, pumped them
on stationary bicycles, worked them in sealed
chambers under simulated mountain climbing
and tropic conditions.
Their experiments aroused interest all over
the country. People began writing to Har-
ward for advice. I'm tired What should
l do?" typical letter reads Dr. Forbes can
not hide smile That's like writing to a
doctor and saying, I'm sick. What should
/ do?' You have to understand that fatigue

 Gen. Pal Chung-hsi's four Ma tionalist armies from HankoW ap- preached the Pukow-S -SuchoW rail- road to join the battle
 The Chinese Communist radio indicated the Reds are pushing east to clamp pincers on gov- ernment forces. Tn North China. the Communists appeared to have moved into PaOtinp capital of HO- peh and 90 miles southwest of Pei ping.
 The U. s. Consul at Shanghai issued a second emergency warn ing for Americans to get out while they can. Response was greater. The Chinese extended martial law to Tsingtao, An American naval base.
