SENSIBLE PUN FOR REST FROM LABORS On,e Should Do the Opposite From Regular Duties If One Is to Really; Rest. “What one should do to keep well in the summer,” says Surgeon Gen eral H. S. Cumming, of the United States public health service, “depends on what one has been doing during the winter.” As winter occupation* are infinitely varied it may seem at first blush that this dictum calls for equally varied summer programs. However, most occupations fall into certain groups which call for corre sponding vacations. “For instance, most men and an increasing number of women work hard all winter and take a vacation when summer comes. On the other hand, large groups of men and women (farmers, for instance) work hard all summer and take a vacation, if they ever get one, in the winter, when farm work is slack. • Most women work hard in their homes, and they too have earned a -vacation, though their right to it is not always acknowl edged. Some men and women ap pear not to work at all and would probably be very angry if any one accused them of working. These also need a vacation, but very few of them g^t a real one. a vacation snouia mean very aix ferent thyigs to these different classes. A clerk, for instance, should do something that ’whuld make him use his muscles (though not to ex cess) and an iron! mill worker some thing that would enable him to rest his. A girl who has been typewrit ing or packing cigarettes or cooking in somebody else’s home should use her vacation in outdoor sports such as playing tennis or something like that. A tired wife and mother should rest by- getting away from husband and children, soothing her nerves by chatting with other women, and hav ing a few moments of genuine priv acy. A “society”,. girl who really works about as hard as anybody in the service of the Goddess of Pleasure and is probably (temporarily, at least) sick of teas and men and other girls, would do well to attend a sum mer normal school, where she would at least get a brand-new outlook on life—unless she has courage enough to get a job in a factory, where, if she was not too haughty some “fac tory girl” might take pity on her and teach her the ropes. ■ “The usual prescription of a vaca ^ tion is exercise in the open air. Such advice assumes that exercise in the open is the one important thing that most workers do not. get. This is, of course, true in regard'^o mariy per sons, but it is -hat true in regard to many others—farmers, street clean ers and chauffeurs, for instance. Any body who has beeh spending his or her winter evenings in stuffy rooms studying, playing cards, dancing, or just nodding, should by all means, get out into the open air in the sum mer. , A truck driver, on the other hand, might well spertd his vacation* , indoors, -1 1 “Exercise, particularly in the open air, is valuable, and, indeed, essen tial to continued good health. Exer cise, however, looks chiefly to physi cal and ignores mental health; and mental health is now considered to be about as important as physical health. “Millions of persons, women in par ticular perhaps, need a ‘change’ rather than a ‘rest.’ ” ' <■ “As a matter of fact,' nearly every one feels this and unconsciously strives to act upop it.. The ‘tired business man’ of whom papers say so’ much is not so foolish as some per sons think when he goes to the thea ter to listen to a farrago of nonsense; for this is the very antithesis of his daily work. Unfortunately going to the theater is like his business, jfi doors.' “Clerks of working men or girls who attend baseball games show bet ter. judgment, for they get mental stimulous; and, if they applaud the players or denuonce the umpire with enough enthusiatm they get a good deal of physical exercise in the open air. On^the other hand the farmer who works 15 hours a day from early spring to late fall might do worse than spend two winter weeks in the city, fighting off the wily ‘confidence’ men and attending the movies. And more or less similarly for his wife. They would both get enough mental stimulus to sustain them through the laborious days of next summer. “The*point is to get new ideas for the brain to mull over. All persons, after being tied to one set of ideas (or to no ideas at all) for months, will find themselves a lot healthier and happier if they can pick up a totally different set during their vaca tion. Whether the ideas are wise or foolish, they can get a lot out of them, particularly if l^hey can find friends who are considerate enough J;o find a contradictory set and to stand up for them.. The two will prevent each other ; from vegetating and keep each other happy (even 4f furious) till the next vacation. Vege tating is the worst thing in the world for a human being—at any rate for the American species. “It would be well if all persons would adapt this advice to their own circumstances and would plan vaca tions for the coming summer that differ radically from their daily occu pations. Such vacations probably would not turn out .quite as was ex pected ; but that would be half their charm. Some persons might even wish they hadn’t tried the plan for a week or so after they got home; but SALVE FOR SCABS. Strikebreakers are such valuable citizens in Utah they must be pro tected by law. Over the strenuous protest of all branches of organized labor, and the pressure brought to bear by the railroad brotherhoods’ representative on the' Governor, a bill protecting scabs has become law in that state. > The new law, labelled as “An act to prohibit interference with , em ployment in lawful occupations, to be known, as ‘the Right to Work’ act,” provides a fine for any person who “attempts to cause or induce any person engaged in a lawful oc cupation to quit such employment or to refuse or to decline to accept or Ibegin a lawful employment.” It had the backing,of the Associated Indus tries, the stronghold of anti-labor forces in pther states as well as U)tah. The author of the bill quoted in its support of the bill quoted in in ist support from speeches of Presi dent Harding and Attorney General Daugherty. The quotations seemed to work. * Patronize advertisers in this paper if you really want to show your ap preciation of The Herald. PEACE ON EARTH. TUNE—“Blind Child’s Prayer.” We have on record only one Sweet anthem from above; ’Twas sung by angels at the birth Of Him whose name is love. And what was it, all glory be To him who sways the whol£, Who made the earth, the sea and sky And then the Human Soul. And next they sang, Sweet Peace on Earth And good will unto men' So tell me fellow creature why Do you love war then? Our Saviour gave us this precept, His Holy Word is true. Just as I love my own dear self, I should love each of you. Put up the sword into his place. It only causes loss; All they that take it shall prove out bfaught else but rust and dross. Malice is a poisonous thing Wherever it doth grow, And if in kings or princes found, It causes greater woe. If I love not my brother here, The one whom I have seen, How shall I ever love my God And stand before him clean? If I love him as I ought, I’ll never seek his life. True love, that’s of the pure kind, Will put an. end to strife. The devil it was that first broke peace, ' r His children followed him, And as they went the plain truth To them did grow quite dim. It is a base and shameful thing For people here to fight; ; Let all things else be lost in love And then We’ll be all right. NOTICE OF PUBLICATION. State of North Carolina, Mecklen burg County.

NET PROFITS $25,000,000,000 Annually — Some Jingling Coins In Pile—More Than All Liberty . Bonds Sold In 1917-18. By Levi Stevens Lewis. The traffic over American railways increases enormously with each re curring year. In 1923 tens -of thousands of freight trains operated on 265,000 miles of line every day in the year, earning all the way from three thou sand to ten thousand dollars of gross income per train. ' - It was officially declared in New York 68 years ago (1855) that “no reliance whatever” could be placed on official railway reports. That was true then; it's true now; it was true from the beginning. See annual report of the New York State Engineer and Surveyor for 1855. (Senatd^Document No. 35, N. Y. 1855.) ' Entirely disregarding official claims that the railroads always need more income in order to increase their debts; that they “barely earn interest on the bonds, to say nothing of a fair return on the money invested by the shareholders” and therefore must go in the hands of receivers; the wise man will seek more accurate infor mation elsewhere. Here is evidence stated in tne iew est possible words, that the prt>fit of American railways in twelve months is not less than twenty-five billion dollars; otherwise stated several bil lions more every year than all the Liberty bonds printed and sold in 1917 and 1918 to pay in part the expense of the late world war. The two greatest transportation lines on the globe are the New York Central and the Pennsylvania. These two great systems carry less than 30 per cent of all traffic north of the Ohio and east pf; the Mississippi rivers. It is necessary for them to operate six million trains a year to handle .this tremendous traffic. Then fourteen million other trains are nec essary to handle the remaining-70 per cent; making, all told, twenty million trains a year to handle the traffic in the eastern district only. Perhaps some of these trains haul empty cars only, earning absolutely no revenue whatever. Allowing 25 per cent () for non-operating trains, there remains 15 million reve nue earning trains, two-fifths of which are passenger trains and three fifths freight trains. The gross revenue from the pas senger trains will average not less than $300 each and the freight trains nof less than $3,000, So the “gross transportation income” of all rail way lines operating in the eastern district in twelve months is estimated to be not less than twenty-eight bil lion and eight hundred million dol lars in twelve months. The gross transportation income of the entire eastern district is about one-third of the total for all lines in the United States. So the gross trnas portation income of all railway traf fic in the entire United States “as a system” appears to be nothing less than eighty-six billion and four hun dred million dollars in twelve months. Deducting one-half for operating ex penses and taxes, the clear net profit appears to be not les than forty-three billion and two hundred million dol lars every period of twelve months. This estimate is based on the traf fic reported in 1916. Since 1916 there has been the usual never-fail ing annual increase of traffic. To be ultra-conservative I have not taken in consideration the revenue realized from the mail and express service and twenty-eight other sources of income and further discounted this calcula tion by eighteen billion dollars; so I insist the net profit of American railways every period1 of twelve months is not less than twenty-five billion dollars. How much more or less the actual profits may be can be determined only approximately by “a fact finding com mission” from all sections and classes such as recommended seven years ago by the Guaranty Trust Company of New York.
