When Ralph De Palma
shattered a galaxy of worlds
automobile speed records at
Daytona Beach on Lincoln's
Birthday, he rode on Good
year Cord Tires.
AS his Packard Special
bulleted forward in its furi-
Gus attempt against time,
perhaps the heaviest strains
of the testWere concentrated
on these tires.
Think of the intense heat
and friction resisted by his
Goodyear Cord Tires, revolv-
ing 1900 times per minute
on a soft beach!
Think of this grueliing
contest being kept up for 20
miles at the rate of nearly
$50 miles per hour, the fast

Both Companies Summoned.

Both companies were summoned by
the commission to consider a plan for
the building by the Capital Traction
Company of tracks on B street from
9Th to 17th streets, to connect with
the existing trackage in Potomac
Park. The estimated cost is in excess
of 100000
Vice President Hanna suggested
that the territory could be amply
served by the establishment of con-
nections between the two systems
which would enable Capital Traction
cars to operate from Pennsylvania
avenue south to B street and thence
west over that thoroughfare to a
loop to be constructed at 18TH 10th
and c streets and Virginia avenue.
rhe cost of this plan would be about
s500,000.
Asked by Corporation Counsel Con-
rad H. Syme what he considered the
most needed extension at the present
time for relieving traffic congestion,
Mr.. Hanna replied that line on 18th
street from U street to Pennsylvania
avenue undoubtedly would afford the
greatest Improvement to the general
situation.
Officials of both companies ex-
pressed a desire to cooperate with
the commission in improving service,
but suggested that only the most i'm
portant extensions be made at this
time. They said the Potomac Park
service largely is rush hour service
and that the proposed line would
not materially reduce congestion in
the crowded areas north of Pennsyl-
vania avenue.

IF YOUR ARM ACHES
BY H. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
Copyright, 1912

If you suffer from frequently oc-
arms-and many people are thus
troubled-don't jump to the conclu-
sion that you have rheumatism, neu-
ritis or some other serious organic
disease
The chances are that your aches
really are of no great significance.
In fact, the chances are that you can
cure them yourself if you go the right
way about 1t.
And the right way is we'll ~i}lus-
trated by the experience of a man
who consulted a doctor because Of
a persistently aching. arm.
The doctor gave him thorough
physical examination and found him
toned him regarding the time when
his arm began to trouble him.
The aching. it appeared, had first de-
yeloped during a period OF mental strain.
He had been much worried over the
state Of the stock market.
"Ah. yes" said the doctor. II believe
know what Is wrong.
Your mental strain excessively ia
tigued you, thereby making you more
sensitive to any little ache or pain. For
some reason-it does not matter what
your arm one day pained you a triie.
I'm your tired state you felt that pain
much more than you otherwise would
have felt it. This caused you to fix your
attention on your arm. and by fixing
your attention on it you caused it to
paid more attention to it than ever.
causing it to ache pretty steadily.
"An that you need to do is to contrive
to get your attention diverted from your
arm. When you can do this 1t will stop
aching.
REST up little. Forget the stock
market and take some recreation.
Travel II you like. or play golf. or read.
Do something that will keep you SO
pleasantly occupied that you will stop
thinking SO much about your arm, and
will give 1t a chance to straighten itself
out"
The great majority Of recurrent arm
aches are caused in some such manner
as this. That is to say, they are due to
morbid overattention to a pain that
Lar attention been paid to II.
This fs true even in the case OF the
occupational aches Of SO o-caI1ed pitcher 6
arm. motorman's arm. writer's cramp
etc.
Such aches. no doubt. are sometimes
due to prolonged misuse Of muscles. But
more often they have q mental rather
than physical cause.
A writer for example, feels one day q
little stiffness in his writing arm. The
tHOuSnS oCSuib " uiIus SOHSClOuoky VI
subcongciously, II wonder II am going
to have writer's cramp and be unable tc
earn my living"
Under the influence OF this worrying
thought he begins to pay more attention
to his arm than he should Every little
ache in 1t Is magnifed. And presently
behold! writer's cramp IL fully developed
born OF the fear that has gripped the
| writer.
OF course, there is always tho possi-
| be a symptom Of some organic trouble
| For this reason q careful medical ex.
! animation is always in order Of an arm
aches steadily or frequently.
But II tho doctors verdict is 20. K
organically," then the one thing tina,
will insure a cure is to train ones sell
| to turn the mind away from the aching
arm.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, May THE German
delegates to the peace congress
declare that they will sign the
peace treaty, but TINT Germany
will not pay an indemnity.
The Petit Parisien says there
will be a maximum delay OF
one month before the signing
of the peace treaty.
In the discussion of peace
terms by Germany through
both her omciai and unOmctai
spokesmen she has Invariably
drawn, a distinction between
reparation and indemnity, con-
strung the latter In effect as
punitive damages. 1t seems
probable, therefore, that the
refusal to pay an "indemnity'
would mean in effect that she
would decline to pny what she
regarded as such damages.
