Secrets of Health
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

They are, in effect, travelling
over the great viaduct Of life
leading from childhood to
adulthood, and the road Is not
only thor1y, but it is full Of
trials, dangers and often suf-
fering as we'll.
Actually our boys and girls
are doing the very best they
can under exceedingly trying
circumstances.
For remember that the job
Of growing up is anything but
easy!
Don't forget about those
physical and physiolog c al
changes which occur during
adolescence and which disturb
the comparative peace Of the
years Of earlier childhood.
AS children they were pro-
ltected, cajoled and petted and
cared for in every way.
Now as young men and wo-
men the developing urge to
maturity makes them resent
help. They feel they must try
to sally forth on their OWL
fighting and conquering as best
they can.
Adolescence is a very jumbled
and mixed-up age, and youth
cannot help it. Some children
have an easy time. others a
most difficult one. Indeed, those
Of spirit and intelligence often
suffer the most.
This, however, is natures
way Of making ttep find them
selves, of forcing them on into
the more mature years when
nature demands they must find
their mate, reproduce their kind
and carry on the race.
Don't worry about your chill
dren when they give you trouble.

Do You Think You are Over

It is easy to imagine that you
are Over-worked.

and think be is making it neces.
sary for you to do more than
should be required Of yeu.
In fact you are feeling rather
sorry for yoursef-which Is un-
wise.
You consider lessening your
efforts except under conditions
which make 1t obligatory that a
certain amount he bone in
given time.
You will not seek opportuni-
ties to do additional work.
But you are not overbur-

A Prison for ALL Officials
DIR. Lathrop's Interesting Suggestion.

Now and then sensible utterance gets into print.
Such uttersnce printed recently from the
Rev Charles N Lathrop D. D. of New York Dr. Lathrcp
secretary of the social service department Of the Episcopal
Church.
He said
"It sUOuld haUe been a most useful thing If the
governor Of Ohio had spent his first month goOer.
nor in the penitentiary Columbus.
eft uUoud be helpful If it uOere the obligation of
eUery Judge the bench first be an inmate of
the penitentiary to Which he sends his conOicted
felOns"
Occasionally governor Judge spends period in prison.
though in his professional capacity month at the
beginning of his official would be valuable Legislatures
might also put few weeks there during the session. with
profit to the public
In that way we should soon have prison problem.
The Washington times., 1930-06-19

Although all of us have been
young ourselves, few recall that
We were problems over which
our parents spent many wor.
ries.
But then we showed, just as
growing boys and girls show
now, certain strange whins
and fancies, strange flights Of
ilnanigation, moods that con-
tradict, peculiar affectations
and conceitS, much chatting liT1-
der authority, cynicisrnS, i'm
pertinences- ali Of which made
up tremendous problems at the
time. -~
Parents nowadays declare
that, although they may have
been trying difficult problems
in their youth, they never
could have been the problem
which the young men and
women of the present day pre-
sent.
That may be. true It actu-
ally may be that youth is
more difficult to tame than
formerly.
Yet I maintain that the
problems which our children
give us today are about the
same as they always were and,
being such, there is no cause
for despair.
Let us consider what these
young people are going through.
The breaking away from pa
rental authority is. Of course,
the undercurrent in your chill
drer's lives that makes their
characters appear puzzling on
the surface.
What they do, say and feel
are not really as haphazard
and contradictory as they seem.
The Washington times., 1930-06-19

# you are allowing yourself
to think that you are doing more
than your job calls for, get rid
Of the thought and what it
prompts or get another position.
If you don't shake away from
such thought you won't hold
your position very long.
Employers get rid of the men
who show lack of interest in
their work.
Good positions are not plenti.
ful and you should put forth
every effort to deserve the job
you have.
It would be easy to fill your
place with q man who would be
anxious to give full service and
welcome the opportunity at
that. 5,
There is need for more energy
on your part.

He also said it would be detrimental

The Secretary of State, testifying as
a former governor general of the is

recently expressed before the committee
by Secretary Hurley, who also opposed
immediate independence.
Stimson and Senator Halves Of Mis-
souri,, co-author of one of the bills
under discussion, had an exchange
after Stimson asked to be allowed to
make his statement without interrupt
ton. Halves said he was mot so sure
he could refrain from interruption.
Stimson then said he would refuse
to proceed, as 1t was mot fair" for
the committee to interrupt him. Halves
agreed to let the hearing proceed, but
said he would interrupt If he thought
1t necessary.

pies Counsel Richmond B. Keech has

commission is asking that the bill be
dismissed, but Mr.. Keech Is seeking a
revaluation before any other disposition
Of the case. No valuation has been made
of either property by the commission
since 1919.
After Mr.. Dunlop had concluded, S.
Russell Bowen, attorney for the WASH
ington Railway & Electric Co., began
his opening statement. According to
the printed brief which Mr.. Bowen
handed the court, his argument will
follow closely along the lines of Mr..
Dunlop's and will rely on the same
cases. 1t stresses the Importance of
uniformity of fare among the COM
panies. According to the showing made
thus far under the requested rates Mr..
Bowen's company will earn a substan-
TALLY higher return than the Capital
Traction Co., and the reply of Peoples
Counsel Keech does not concede that
the uniform fare is essential.

1QCENT CAR FARE
ARGUMENTS BEGUN
Traction Counsel Opens Case
in District Supreme Court.
Statutes to Govern.

Arguments on the 10-cent carfare
case were started in the District Su-
preme Court before Justice Jennings
Bailey today. George T. Dunlop, coun-
sci for the Capital Traction Co., had
the opening and spoke practically with
out interruption all morning, laying the
foundation for the details to come later,
with which he intends to show that his
company is being denied fair rate Of
return under the present rates.
At the outset, Justice Bailey instruct
ed Mr.. Dunlop to elect whether he
would proceed under the statute giving
the Supreme Court an appellate juris-
diction over the orders of the Public
equity proceeding under the courts gen.
eral equity powers. Mr.. Dunlop elected
to proceed under the statute.
Covers History Of Cases.
Then the Capital Traction attorney
delved back into the history of regula-
ton of public utilities. He started with
the case of Smyth versus Ames in the
Supreme Court of the United States
In 1896, and in one hour and q half
he had worked his way down to the
United Railways case, decided by the
United States Supreme Court last Feb
ruary. At noon he was just launching
into the evidence relating to the case
now before the court.
The two street railway companies are
appealing from an order entered by the
Public Utilities Commission last Mo-
vember, denying them the requested To-
cent rate. The commission held that
their testimony did not meet the bur-
den of proof placed upon them to show
that they were In need of financial
relief and left the case open for fur
ther testimony.
Earning Set at 4.s3 Per Cent.
Instead of producing this, however
the companies went to court. Mr. Dun
lop said that under the 10-cent fare
the Capital Traction Co. would earn
not more than 4.83 per cent on Its
present valuation and the Washington
Railway g. Electric Co. not more than
Gas per cent. He pointed out that the

uation had been made on the "split
inventory" basis, specifically condemned
