WORK PROGRESSES
ON MEMORIAL SPAN
Steel for Bridge Is Being Made at
Plant in Pennsyl-
vania.

While plans are being pushed forward
in constructing foundations for the
bridge that will span the channels, con-
tinuing Arlington Memorial Bridge

shore, fabrication of the steel for the
bascule span in the bridge proper is
going ahead in the shops of the con-
tractor, the Phoenix Bridge Co., at
Phoenixville, Pa
w. E. Sturges. local representative
of the bridge firm. said today that some
1900 tons of steel and machinery will
be shipped to Washington for the job.
Shipments will be started in May and
continue until about December /, he eX-
planned. The bascule span of the bridge
will be finished about February /, 1880.

amount of characterization, he pointed
out, which, when completed, will per-
NIT the bascule span to open like a
jack-knife, allowing vessels to proceed up
to Georgetown. The bascule span is said
to be one Of the most decorated of its
kind in the country and the only one of
that type in this section.

Hesse Enjoys First
'Complaintless' Day
OF Administration

For the first time in his three
years administration of the
Metropolitan Police Department
Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, retiring
superintendent, today opened his
official correspondence without
finding a complaint. There were
no letters from the public criti-
cising the conduct of a policeman.
and likewise there were no re-
ports from the precinct COM
manders or other officials recon-
mending disciplinary action
against a member of the force.
The condition was all the more
unusual because the Monday
morning mail usually produces
the greatest bulk of complaints.
Maj. Hesse seemed at a loss to
explain the situation.
Perhaps this is the calm that
I have been told always follows

HOW TO LIVE
LONGER
BY
JOHN CLARENCE FUNK
MODERATION

6 n LII work and no play makes
"A Jack a dull boy" OF course 1t
does. But fair amount of work and
the wrong type Of play can give the
same results. Don't lost sight of this
fact, either.
Recreation is essential to human
happiness, health and welfare. But in
these days Of highly commercialized
attractions one should give some
thought to the manner in which the
leisure hours are spent. This Is per.
haps too infrequently done.
While the radio, for example, is one
Of the most fascinating of modern
amusements, it scarcely pays night
after night to sit up until the wee
small hours trying to "get" hither,
thither and yon. It would be more
sensible to shut off the current at a
more reasonable hour and "get"
sleep.
Movies, too, while having their place
in ones diversion schedule. should not
become ones sole idea Of good time
after working hours. Even the best
of picture palaces are crowded; and
while ventilation systems are efficient
In some Of them, vitiated atmosphere
is more likely to be the case than
otherwise. Consequently to walk in
the evening occasionally for two hours
Is decidedly more beneficial type of
distraction.
A word of caution needs to be d.
rected at the older boys whose pride
in the imaginary possession Of lost
youth leads them into all sorts of
physical e1travagances. The excep-
tfonal man over fifty can play hard
games Of tennis, basket ball or hand
ball-and live to tell the tale. But
one is foolish to try to prove himself
to be in that class by vigorously in
dulging In "kid" games.
Diversion, therefore, that leads one
Of mature years to the gymnasium for
hand ball or to the club for squash
is conceited sort of affair. 1t may
even cause a strike on the part Of
your heart which spells fms to the
game and possibly to you also.
Remember that the physical exac-
lions of our driving civilization have
most of us going at high speed during
our work period. And that a healthy
let-down is not only good for the soul
but for the body also.
There is no implication in this ad-
vice that a man over forty-fve should
arbitrarily forsake all the athletic &C.
tivities to which be has been accus-
toned and join sewing circle. Just
the same, always keep in mind that
"the old gray horse amt what he used
to be'-and govern yourself accord
ingly.

A FRIEND

THB most outstanding friendly en-
1 envy of man is pain, only he doesn't
know 1t. Moreover, when he is in
formed of the fact he is decidedly
loath to believe 1t.
AS general rule, the first thing a
person does when he gets pain is
to grumble about it. 1t frequently is
also the last thing he does about it.
True, If pain hurts badly enough,
one is likely to try a pill or so to
deaden it.; and If it hurts worse than
that, a physician will be consulted.
But ones attitude toward pain Is al
ways the same-dislike and disre-
spect.
Well, If pain merely hurt, there
might be some reason for such an at
titude toward it. But that is the least
that 1t does. AS matter of fact,
pain is the language of the body talk
ing to direct and forceful terms to
the brain. 1t is indicating that some
thing is wrong, and that scientific at
tention is Immediately required.
That so many turn a deaf ear to
pain is positively pathetic; that so
many who know absolutely nothing
about the particular pains cause are
so egotistical and silly as to indulge
in self diagnosis and self medication
is much more so.
How many times, for instance, have
you throttled headache by some ia
vorite pill or potation? And this, with
out real knowledge of the condition
back of the thing. Headaches are
merely symptoms. And 1t Is blind
physician indeed who goes about his
business on that flimsy basis.
What is true In minor way about
headaches is equally and more true
concerning other bodily pains. Long
and healthy life demands that you
lend a receptive and affectionate ear
to pain This can only be done In
one way. Take your pain. great or
small, to your physician. Let his
practiced eye and specialized intel
| ligence go behind 1t and find the cause.
For the cause is the only thing after
all that matters. :.
People who get angry at pain and
treat II themselves or attempt to ig-
more 1t, sometimes wake up to find
| themselves deadl
The hospitals always have an ap-
probable number of guests who are
such simply because they lack the
right attitude toward pain.
Pain is your servant Use 1t as
such. Life lengthening and even life
saving is in this advice. Three cheers
