Psychology Is Important

It may appear surprising that the
science of psychology plays such an
important part. It will seem so to
those high school and college swim
mers who possibly have cut their
psychology class time and again to
practice their strokes.
Nevertheless, I have found that
the majority of my own victories
were attained not so much by the
sheer swimming Of the race as by
outwitting the other fellows before
the race.

Worrying Kills Form
AS soon as the worry element en-
fers the mind of the competitor, I
know that I have the advantage
over him.
His form is "shot" and he will try
to outdistance me on his strength
alone. His style is thrown to the
wind, his swimming is erratic and
he finally will break near the fin
fish when I draw away from him
with my reserve strength, only about
20 yards from the finish.
Form aids a great deal in. the
actual sprinting. I have found that
riding high in the water lessons the
resistance, which usually spells de-
feat to most swimmers.
Keeping the body parallel with a
steady kick gives one the rhythmic
movement necessary.

BUREAU CREATES

Standardization Of Practice and
 Simplification Sought

Washington, July 12 (P) - Two rev divisions have been created in the commercial standardization group of the bureau of standards to of American industry for govern lnAnt cooperation in promoting standardization and plification of comm odities.
 The new divisions. Secretary La mont announced today, will deal with trade standards and specified tions. The former will be directed by l. J. Fairchild and the latter by A. s. McAllister. both connected with the commerce department.
 Experience with simpliaed prac- tice," Secretary Lamont said. has demonstrated the possibilities in many fields for achievement in re- ducing avoidable waste through the elimination of unnecessary sizes and varieties of commodities and the concentration of productive and dis tributive effort upon those sizes and varieties which enjoy the maximum normal demand.
 "The results accomplished through the adoption of simplified practice recommendations extend to many branches of industry. The eval:la- ton of industry itself of some of these results approximates $500, 0,000,- 600 a year saved to all interests"

LONG KEY, Fla, January 31.-When
President-elect Hoover this morning
headed for that stretch of the Gulf
Stream off the Florida Keys he has
selected for his fishing grounds during
his second fishing expedition of his pre-
inaugural vacation he was greeted by
beautiful clear skies, a calm sea and
every other condition considered ideal
from the viewpoint of the deep-sea
angler.
II he returns with poor catch to-
night to the yacht Amitie anchored in
Angel Fish Greek. few hundred yards
of shore from here and upon which
he and Mrs. Hoover and portion of
his fishing party are living on this
expedition, he cannot blame his i'll luck
on the weather. Local fishermen pres
ent as Mr.. Hoover pushed off were
unanimous in describing the weather as
perfect for fishing, especially for catch
ing Sailfish.
Judging from the look of assurance
and determination on his face this
morning when he started out for the
fishing grounds, Mr. Hoover is not COM
1HB udGA WltklOut TedllZlllG his long,
cherished ambition to land a sailfish.
Newspaper men have been left behind, SO
some member of the Hoover party will
come ashore tonight and give an ac-
count of the President-elect's day.
Mr. Hoover's party personnel includes
Mrs. Hoover, Harlan F.. Stone, associate
justice of the United States Supreme
Court, and Mrs. Stone; Mark Sullivan,
political writer, and Mrs. Sullivan Jere-

Lawrence Richey, Mr. Hoover's per-
sonal representative on his Florida va
cation, did not accompany him.
The Hoover party left Miami on q

BILL TO CLARITY LAW.


By. STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, January 31-The
bill prepared by the State Tax Commits
sion which would recodify and clarity
the State tax laws was sent to the
Legislature yesterday by Gov. Albert c.
Ritchie, without comment. The meas
ure grants a reduction of taxes on
shares OF stock of surety and guaranty
companies It was said that the gov
ernor would make known his stand on
the measure as soon as he receives in
formation as to the effect of the meas
ure on these reductions.
AS a whole, it is understood that there
IS no real opposition to the measure,
put specifically the tax reduction fea-
ture is unpopular because it was said
mat Baltimore City taxes would drop
about $500, 900.
