Wholesale Law Breaking
Washington People Bagged by Police in Five Years.

DURING the five fiscal years ending June 80 last the
police Of this city arrested 4S875 people various
cha s 214,517 being for traffic offences
The Districts population is today approximately 3OeO
and the foregoing figures would indicate that in five years
large percentage Of the people of this city have been charged
with traffic parking violations.
The average man does not regard himself law breaker
when bagged for petty traffic parking violations and
Of those arrested unwilling offenders Thoughtful
and women do what they avoid violations Of the flock
Of regulations the majority Of them minor in nature
The law gains nothing by naggng citizens for petty
violations of traffic and parking regulations and the most
effective police department that which applies its greatest
energies toward arresng real criminathose committing
and that are dangerous society and
seriously vioative of law and order.
Police enforcement Of safe driving may eventually bring
about better regard for traffic laws intended for public
protection gradually reducing the number Of arrests for major
offences This rigorous police campaign has stronger public
approval than any made for years

What Are our Reading Habits?
TNEIE kind Of reading done by
i you and the members Of your
family plays an important part
in the enjoyment your home af.
fords.
If each member Of the family
is interested in a different line of
reading they cannot engage in
discussions Of subjects Of like
nature.
Under such conditions it is nat.
ural for each one to seek the So
ciety of someone outside of a
like trend in thought.
1t is a mistake to follow one
line Of reading to the exclusion
of all others.
But too often this is done, and
so there is no common ground for
an exchange of ideas in the fam.
lily circle.
Reading should not be con.
sidered entirely in the light of
entertainment.
There should be desire for
enlightenment on different sub.
jects.

of the same family to study diff.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Risch-.

A PHASIA Is a term which In
IA the popular mind, is often
associated with loss OF memory.
A man is found wandering about
the streets and investigation re-
veals that he lives perhaps q few
hundred miles away, that he left
home and took a train without
apparent reason and that. indeed,
he does not know who he Is or
why or how he got to the place
where he was found.
Such a condition may be an
aphasic in type. 1t may be due
to a brain disease or organic origin
or 1t may be a functional affair, a
mental disorder. Cases of both
kinds were common during the
war.
Aphasia Is q term that has
many interpretations even by
scientific men, although its use
should really be restricted to loss
of power of speech.
However. loss of the power to
read-Alexia-and inability to
write-Agraphia-may be clAssed
as aphasic conditions also.
In order to understand aphasic
states one must recall that the
brain is made up Of parts that have
special work to do. For example.
the speech area Is located in what
is known as the rear part Of the
third frontal convolution, near the
ear. while the writing center Is
situated in the back of the second
frontal convolution. Both are on
the left side of the brain.
One must also know, in order to
gain at least an understanding
knowledge Of the complexities Of
aphasic disorders, that two gen.
eral kinds of Rphasia are recog-
nized. namely. sensory and motor.
In sensory aphasia the under.
standing of words which are
heard or read about is lost. In
motor aphasia this ability Is un-
impaired-such persons being able
to hear words we'll and also read
words-yet they cannot talk or
write them.
In alexia or inability to reod--
called word. .blindness"-the shapes
of the letters are seen. but they
means as little to the patient as
Egyptian hieroglyphics. The sub
ject may be able to copy the
letters and words correctly, but
he does not take them in, so to
speak. They are merely shapes
to him without any meaning
whatsoever.
Various aphasic conditions get
we'll all by themselves with the
passage of a few days or weeks,
and without any treatment of any
kind. This type of case may fol.
low sudden fright or shock.
Aphasias, however, may be due
to some organic damage TO the
brain or nervous system-hemor-
rhage or tumor pressure perhaps
lin which case even skilled medi-
cal or surgical aid may prove USE
less.
In many instances mental fac
tor exists. Sometimes this Ia q
neurotic condition which is amen
able to treatment through purely
psychological channels. In all such
cases a, process Of re-education
must be Instituted after the symp-
toms disappear in order to avoid
possible relapse.
All aphasic states are among the
most puzzling and the most diff.
cult conditions to understand that

WHEN people hear that poor
w Lon Allen is in another jam,
or that his wife. Lena, is sore
again at somebody, they just say
Jaw, well, they don't know what
it's all about"
You've known people like that
People who muddied along
through life or were everlastingly
in hot water. And you, too, have
said-'they don't know what it's
all about" You said it carelessly,
slangily, but If you had been the
greatest psychiartrist on earth
you couldn't have analyzed their
trouble better. That is exactly
why so many people are making
mess of their lives. They DON'T
know what it's all about and.
what's more, they aren't trying to
find out.
Just what IS 1t all about?
What does this mysterious per.
formance, into which we enter
daily, mean-this vast business we
call life?

ourselves while in it. Then what
IS 1t all about and why do the
Ions and the Lenas fail where
others succeed?
As" children we start by think.
ing that it is all about Us.
Many of us continue to think
that way all through cur lives.
We tumble along like Lon, or fret
along like Lena.
We're only interested in things
which concern Us.
Life is picture book and the
only thing that interests US is
OUR little part of it.
That is a child's way of think
ing and a savage's. Savages, too,
don't know what it's all about"
for they have no conception of
the larger world Of affairs.

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland
We MOderns

We MOderns
nROGRESSIyE divorce is the
modern improvement on a
harem, just as the eight
course dinner is the refined sue
cessor to the ''groaning table,"
A villa is a country house that
looks as gorgeous and impressive
as a filling station-and is almost
as homelike.
Some women try to strip a man
of everything valuable when they
"check out" of marriage. just as
others try to take along every
thing except the heavy furniture
when they check out of hotel.
1t isn't mans love of virtue
half so much as his fear of rheu.
matism that keeps him from wob-
bling out of the straight and mar
row path and making big whoopee
during the dangerous forties.
Before marriage it's real devo-
ton that makes a man show up
on the stroke of the hour every
night--but after marriage it's
more often real apprehension that
keeps him wiping his feet on the
same old doorn1at at the same old
hour.
That cat in which a doctor has
installed a rubber heart is not so
remarkable. There are over eight
million bachelors in this country
fitted out with rubber hearts,
guaranteed to stretch over a mul-
titude of women without skipping
a beat.

quires a written character" from
her prospective chauffeur, but is
perfectly willing to take a hus-
band on his own recommendations.
