EFFICIENTLY LAZY BY
SCIENCE’S* NEW GUIDE
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—A guide by
which lazy people can figure out just
what motions are effort saving and
what postures will tire them most is
provided in a report by Dr. Frank G.
Benedict, director of the Carnegie In
stitution's Nutrition Laboratory.
By a series of tests conducted at
the laboratory in Boston and describ
ed by Dr. Benedict in a communication
to institution headquarters here, the
amount of energy (required for vari
ous motions of the body has been de
termined on the basis of the amount
of heat each produces.
The corner loafer, Dr. Benedict says,
might better stay at home in bed,
since it costs 10 per cent more ener
gy to stand up than to lie down.
“The heat produced in a human
body,” the report continues, “is made
up, first, of an irreducible minimum
going on all the time to maintain the
fires of life at a normal rate, when
in complete repose in bed. To sit
quietly in a chair calls for practically
no increase, but there is an increase
of 10 percent when standing.
“Changes in posture make a great
difference. Some persons actually re
quire 40 percent more energy to stand
than to lie, but the best and most
comfortable pose with a minimum of
sway or balancing, such as would be
assumed by an artist’s model, results
in the smallest increase in heat. Evi
dently skill is required to learn how
to stand easily and most effectively.
“Many small movements may be ex
' pressed in heat units. If, Avhen lying
down one brings the hand to the fore
head and back, as in a miliatry sa
lute, one such movement each minute
actually increases the heat unit about
! 1 per cent. Crossing or uncrossing
j the legs while lying increases the heat
output five times more than moving
the arm. •
“From this one can easily see that
every little movement has a calorie
of its own unit, when working to the
limit of human endurance, a man may
increase his normal heat output, by
1,000 percent.”

GOWDY HAS BRILLIANT
RECORDS ON DIAMOND
AND FIELD OF BATTLE
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—Hank Gow
dy, veteran backstop of the New
York Giants, whose play figured big
in the 1924 pennant drive of the
McGrawmen, has had one of the
most dramatic careers of any dia
mond hero.
First springing to fame a decade
ago in the memorable world’s series
in which the Boston Braves toppled
the mighty Philadelphia Athletics,
Gowdy gained more attention thru
his war record, then came back last
season to help the Giants win their
fourth straight pennant and give the
Washington Senators a desperate
world’s series battle.
Gowdy was the first major league
player to join the colors when the
United States declared war on Ger
many. He enlisted as a buck private
but rose to the rank of sergeant,
served with distinction and had the
honor of having the government name
one of its largest athletic fields
“Gowdy Field.”
Gowdy was born in Columbus, O.,
35 years ago. Like all American boys
he came to love the national pastime
as a youth and he dreamed of world’s
series heroes and the fascinating ap
plause of the multitudes when he was
a growing youth in his early teens.
His first organized baseball assign
ment was with the Lancaster team of
the Ohio State League in 1908. Then
he shipped to the Southwest when
Dallas sought his services. He re
ceived his first big league call in 1910
when the Giants purchased him from
Texas. But he was traded to Boston
the same year without a trial.
Boston farmed Gowdy to the Buf
falo Internationals and then called
him back in 1914. Baseball history
is full of the accounts of Gowrdy’s
part with George Stallings’ “Miracle
team,” which dashed the champion
ship ambitions of the Athletics and
won a world’s title in four succes
sive games.
During the 1914 playing campaign
Gowdy batted only .243 for the
Braves, yet he came up in the world’s
series against the veterans of Con
nie Mack’s staff, Coombs, Plank and
Bender, and hit .545. His timely bat
ting won the series for the Braves
and the records show Gowdy as the
1914 hero.

Gowdy hit for a grand average of
.260. He came back to the Giants
again in 1923 and in his first year
in metropolitan harness, Gowdy hit
for an average of .325, the greatest
in his career.
Gowdy stepped on his mask in a
crisis of the seventh game of the
1924 world’s series with Washington
and missed the foul ball that gave
the Senators another chance and the
series. But this mishap, tragic the
it was, failed to dim Gowdy’s previ
ous good work.
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
An answer to the man who says, “I
have no time to attend the Chamber
of Commerce meetings.”
Every man ought to give a lot of
time and thought and energy to his
business, but he should not keep his
nose to the grindstone. Such prac
tice makes him narrow, keeps him
small, limits his capacity for doint
bigger things, and makes his life a
drudgery.
