THE FRIENDLY PATH
BY WALTER |. ROBINSON.

nON'T be afraid to laugh.
- A hearty laugh is as good
as medicine. 1t aids digestion.
Ii shoves cares aside and brings
happiness to those who are sad.
Thackeray declared that "a
good laugh is sunshine in the
house,
The world may be wild over
iaZZing; II may think too much
about pleasure and show. But
II is sorely In need of more
whole-heaTted laughter. When
people really laugh out loud,
their glee relaxes their nerves.
They can feel the celebrating
Jingle clear down to their toes.
A man needs rest from every
day cares. He needs to forget
temporarily vexations and sor-
rows which burden his mind. He
gets partial rest. when asleep:
but after sleeping he sometimes
awakes more tired In mind and
body than when he lay down, be-
cause mlschievous troubles
usually imagined;-have kept
creeping through his mind.
But when n man laughs from
pure JOY or because he sees
something or hears something
which actually appeals TO his
sense of humor. he gives his
mind n more complete rest than
at any other time during day or
night.
Ii pays in happiness 1t pays
in everyday accomplishments to
see the sunny side of life.
The long-faced. dreamy mortal
seldom has many friends. He
finds more troubles than he
actually has and exaggerates
those which are real.
In our pathways of work and
our pathways of rest we should
seek real causes for mirth.

OF The Anne Arundel County Commits
siOners that they would be granted
exemption from county taxes. The
county had found. without knowing il.
the lamp OF Aladdin. and behold there
sprang up a center OF wealth and
population, with a taxable basis OF
slO.00O.000. OF approximately 5000
people. in an area of FIVE an one-half
square miles. From this the county
drew its greatest revenue. and the big
city across the Patapsco looked upon

lamp of Alladin and behold what has
happened in a short four years. Be
fore the Annexation act became effec-
tive the taxable basis of Anne Arun-
del county was s30,000,0 900. The
transfer of this property from. the
county books to those of Baltimore
city reduced it to $20,000,00O. Today
the taxable basis of Anne Arundel
county is $4,000 900, and when the

is not to look far for this wonderful
progress. 1t is all around us with the
development of the beautiful and I'M
surpassed water courses, which run
far up into the county along its en-
tire bay coast. The lure of the Sew
ern and the Magothy has for many
years been drawing to these shores
people from all parts of the country.

rapid influx from everywhere, but
chiefly from Washington.
OF the older settlements in the
county that are rich contributors to
the taxable basis are Sherwood

cent developments are Curtis Bay
