Most people would say that play’s first requisite was that it should feonsist of something oen doesn’t have to do. Play is in reality .however, of all sorts and descriptions. Those that produce some thing useful besides giving rest are great ly to be preferred. There are many sorts equally stimulating to the mind and to the body and productive of valuable re sults. Ono essential to beneficial play is that it be wholesome and be performed in a healthful environment, that js, where we have pure moving air of the right tem perature and preferably sunlight. The body should be maintained in such position as to permit an even circulation of the blood and normal respiration. The object of the exercise would otherwise be very much discounted. The air carries food to the blood which it furnishes to the tissues, and the blood in turn takes away the debris and returns it to the outside atmosphere. This will make plain to anv reader the necessity of what has been said about the proper environment jn which to exercise. Variation of types of work properly ad justed will obtain substitute for what is generally known as play. For instance, one's brain center may become weary at Theo, N, Vail Contrasts Present With Past BY THEODORE N. VAIL, (Pres. Bell Telephone Co., in The Forum.) Contrast the conditions which I saw as boy and the conditions of today. When I first entered business, man was self-de nendent; with the exception of the lux uries —and there were few enough of them—the individual and his family pro duced every necessity of life. Most pro duction and manufacture was by indi vidual, manual labor; there was some little centralization but it was very slight and the groups were small. The indi vidual seldom left his own neighborhood and he almost as seldom communicated with the outside world through the only medium of communication —letters. In tercommunication, intercourse or inter change between separate sections or states was uncommon and. there were few centers of trade or commerce. The world was individual and self-contained. Now none of us is self-contained; we depend upon others for not only the lux uries but also for the comforts and the very necessities of life. Labor is no longer individual; it is organized into vast establishments where machinery has largely teplabed human labor. And that which as most largely contributed to this marvelous change has been the growth in "intercommunication” and "ti;anspor *ayhe most marked changes have been: TRENCH AND CAMP A Sale for Soldier Boys Wednesday, Dec. sth BOYS!—lt’s not often that OPPORTUNITIES such a? ciiis present themselves, but when THEY DO, we advise “GETTING ABOARD.” In one word, we are OVERSTOCKED.

But we come back to the fact that what most people regard as play is occupation that they are not required to perform, and. it would seem from a psychological standpoint to give greater rest if it be an occupation that is particularly useless from the standpoint of producing econo mic results. Therefore there should be time set aside in the work of the ady, no matter whether it be varied or not, when the en vironment may be changed and play should be taken up. 1 speak of games in a broad sense. For instance, after sitting at a task for a given number of hours, a walk in the open air, the body held erect and the limbs swinging so as to produce circula tion, and attention given to surroundings so that the mind may be occupied and contented, constitutes one of the best kinds of play, preferably performed in company. . In tlii-.se times it is well to remember the simple saying of the old days that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. From simple life to complex life. From dissociated individual effort and small enterprises to centralized co-opera tive taterprises and aggregated labor. From highly skilled manual labor to automatic machinery. Disturbance of relative standards of value of long standing, caused by great discoveries of precious minerals. The great increase in nominal but not relative wealth of the individual, and a greater distribution of property to the whole public through the changing of the great potential resources of the country into tangible and realizable assets by the restless and resistless energy of the in ventor, the dreamer and the optimist, backed by energy, initiative and persist ency. savingHtTpennsylvania Howard Heinz, Food Director of the Pennsylvania Committee of Public Safety and Federal Food Administrator for Pennsylvania has made an appeal to all patriotic residents of the state to reduct the meat consumption by adopting in every family a rule of two meatless days per week, pereferably {Tuesdays and Fri- ? days and the use of meat only once a day on other days 150 Moleskin Sheeplined Coats $11.95 SIB.OO Values.
