The Break Begins

| Is as yet uncertain how many roads will
agree to the strike settlement plan yester-
Gay approved and promulgated by the shop

mediate effect Of the plan probably will be
the restoration OF peace and working reIa-
tons between the union and half a hundred
carriers; a fairly large group OF roads I'M
doubtedly had given advance assurances OF
readiness to accept the terms now formally
proposed. Since the roads first 10 concur
are likely TO be, generally speaking those
that stand in the greatest need OF workers,
1t can readily be seen that the settlement,
though only partial, will quickly bring
substantial measure OF relief to tho country's
transportation system.
Though shop craft leaders declare the
terms of the agreement fully protect the
seniority OF the strikers, the plan as a
whole, is one characterized by concessions
on the part OF the shopmen. They would
accept the wage basis established by the
Labor Board and onsent to individual set

roads that may accept the Baltimore

Health Talks by DR.. Grady
,rhe noy.n xldc Achc.

y boy aged II complains OF side ache
when lie walks fast runs some distance
and sometimes when lie Is engaged In active
gymnasium work.
This brings up happy memories OF barefoot
days and tho joy OF running to fires on
great occasions even helping tho voluntoor
hremen pull tho hose cart through the old
town streets to the fire.
Side ache on sustained exortion is probably
caused By d!iation of tho right sido of tho
heart which is under considerable strain
pumping enough blood through the lungs. 1t
Isn't necessarily danger signal We know
that who have run to fires. But it is a warn
Ing signal. 1t is warning that you had bet
ter ease off and catch up your breathing.
From IL to lb or 16 Is just the side ache

many boys under incompetent physical di-
recton, attempt physical contests which ara
beyond iheir capacity.
DllatiOn Of tho right side OF the heart un-
der sustained effort is normal and physlo-
logical up to certain point. 1t may become

look TO boys In the teens to do the work or

Physical education. including athletics. is
as good for boy as algebra Latin. But
somehow we expect the algebra and Latin
teachers to be qualified by proper TRAINING

the policy on which a lot OF grammer schools
