GOLF AND POLITICS, SPORTING PROPOSAL TO US. PRESIDENT.

The novel proposal was made to Pre- aidout Harding that a game of golf should I decide the re-appointment of Thomas H. Pope, Democrat Postmaster of Green- ville, South Carolina, but the head of the Government, while appreciating the sporting nature of the offer, could not ses his way to base a Federal appoint ment on his skill with a club..

The Central News correspondent states that Mr. Pope's manager sent the follow- ing challenge to Mr. Harding:-

I hereby challenge you, Warren Q. Harding, of Marion, Ohio, to meet Thomas H. Pope, af Greenville, S.C., in an 18 hole goll contest, match play, to be played over any course you or your manager may select the result of auch nintch to decide whether Thomas H. Pope, whose term of office at Green- ville, S... expires on March 16th, 1921, is to be commissioned by you for an other four-year term..

XX HARDING'S MOBEST ANSWER. Mr. Harding replied personally to Mr. Pope's manager, in a letter which stated:" Ax an honorary member of the Kiwanis clan, I accept your letter in the spirit in which you write, and venture at any convenient time to match golf scores with Mr. Pope, though I confess I am a miserably poor player getting my satisfaction out of the outdoor life, and the ever-renew- ed hope of doing better the next time, after contemplating a very bad score.

1 should be reluctant, however, to make my skill at the game the basis of any Federal appointment, I think it would be safer to recommission him

As on the advice of his friends. matter of fact, however, I am giving no consideration, at this time to any of the district appointments, and take it that Mr. Pope can sit easy for the present and have no worry about his Bituation.

After a consultation with his manager, Mr. Pope decided to withdraw the con- ditions as to the postmastership, and will suggest to" Mr. Harding that the match should be played at Washington in May. His friends are enthusiastic "over the prospect of such a match with the President, and several Pullmans may be necessary to take them to Washington to see the contest.

WHEN IS THE BRAIN AT ITS BEST?

VALUE OF THE SIESTA.

"At what time of day is the mind of the average man, doing an ordinary day's work, most efficient?

Suppose that he rises between seven and eight in the morning and goes to bed about eleven, when is he most fit for the execution of the problems of the day requiring the application of brain power? The answer, according to recent investi gation by an eminent psychologist, is

between 10 and 11 am."

Tests were made of 105 persons, and the average of the results is set out in the following "efficiency table" covering the working day from 8 a.m. until 5 p.b.:-

ARTIN'S

It will be seen that the midday meal- taken between twelve and one o'clock- is followed by striking drop in effic- iency and it is suggested that the meal should not be followed immediately by a resumption of work, but by an hour devot ed to rest or recreation.. The mind would then come, back to work with increased efficiency.

1.

Navvies, haymakers, and other hard workers have from time immemorial re- cognised the need of a rest at midday, and many eminent brain-workers have followed their example. The late General Booth for years took a nap after his mid- day meal. In City offices the man who went to sleep for half an hour after lunch would probably be regarded as "slacker," but a "siesta" might enable the office worker to do more and better. work during the afternoon. Next to a nap, the best thing is said to be a game of some kind. Schoolmasters prefer a game of tennis or fives, while the City man refreshes ris mind with dominoes. or chess.

"THE PACE THAT KILLS IS

HARD WORK AND OLD AGE.

As the result of a survey conducted among hundreds of leaders of industry throughout the U.S.A., Dr. A. L. Gold- water, director of the research depart ment of the Medical Review of Reviews, announces his conviction that the dis ciples of indolence die young, while those who advocate the practice of Las streap- ous life have long, and useful careers. Dr. Goldwater declares that his scientific résearches have yielded abundant evid ence that most men who work hard and under high pressure live to a rips old age and that their usefulness at 70 is 100 per cent. greater than at 30 by reason of the vast experience and the mentality kept keer by constant use. The popular helief that a placid existence and early retirement from business is the best in- surance for longevity is utterly dis proved, he says; but, on the contrary, constant activity produces a longer life, Better health, and greater happiness. Summed up, Dr. Goldwater finds that the pace that kills ie the crawl," rather then the rush and bustle required by twentieth-century business methods „Daily Telegraph.de pers
