Show n Mr. Hoover's Exercise There seems to be a great to-do, among people who simply must have something to worry about, about President Hoover's Hoov-er's exercise. It seems that Mr. Coolidge took away the electric elec-tric horse with him to Northampton ; Mr. Hoover' doesn't play golf, play tennis, swim or do Swedish exercises, and something some-thing ought to be done about it, right away. If is one of the illusions of mankind that everybody ought to have violent exercise regularly. These people never try 1o make a light ear do the work of a ten-ton truck, but they think a stout middle-aged office worker ought -to get out every dav and do stunts that would make Messrs. Tunney and Dempsey suffer from that tired feeling. Generally, a man's activity is governed more or less by his Heart and lihig power. Those valuable machines are accustomed accus-tomed to doing just so much work, and trying to make them do more generally results in a strike: Apart, from that, anyone who thinks shaking hands with a couple of thousand people a day isn't strenuous exercise is invited to ask the president about it. , |
