Maryland's Position on Tags
For District Trucks

The position taken by Maryland motor vehicle authorities
that District trucks doing contract other work that
State must take Maryland tags likely pro-
mote harmony between the vehicle departments of
State and the District
Carried to its logical conclusion Maryland might well
demand District pleasure other must have Mary
land tags to roads of that State if there is than
ordinary use.
The Maryland decision arises from the fact that District
tags trucks cost little compared to those Maryland and
that it is not fair Maryland truck to have
pete with District trucks Besides this the contention that
heavy trucks rnous Maryland roads and that truck
owners should contribute their rghtful part toward road
upkeep.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

Play is a cure for many ills.
It makes naughty children
good, it even corrects out-and
out cases of delinquency.
The normal and vigorous boy
and girl is, of course, full of
animal spirits that are contin-
ually seeking an outlet, a re-
lease.
Undoubtedly this dates back
to our primitive ancestors, who,
although they could not play
all the time, any more than
we can nowadays, nevertheless
probably did not take life SO
seriously as we do and INDUCED
in much more freedom of the
emotions and in muscular ex-
preston.
We, however, all lead cramped
and restricted lives, and re-
preSSions of various kinds are
common to old and young.
: even to our children.
How differently we feel after
a vacation, especially one in
which we have not carried Of
flee worries or home cares
away with us!
Just to have a good time, to
pretend that everything is all
right with everything and to
dance and sing. play golf or
tennis, fish, swim, or simply
be around dreaming-these are
varieties of play which are
most needful.
Play not only rests the body
and nerves and mind, but at
one and the same time it Stim-
ulateS them.
For then we give these nerves
which we use daily a chance to
rehabilitate themselves, while
at the same time we exercise
new ones that sorely need it.
During the winter months
one can also play, but in a diff
ferent way.
There are the theaters, the
motion pictures, books that
take you out of yourself, cards,
music and the radio, visits to
friends and many other enjoy
mentS.
All of these should be looked
upon as play.
Most unwise is the man or
woman who. takes life too
seriously to play. who believes
that over-conscientiouSnesS re.
garding ones work and duties
are the only principles to live
by.
All of us should be conscien-
tious about our duties, yes.
But without play we soon cease
to be able to be as conscien-
tiouS as we should be, for the
mind becomes groggy and in
efficient from too close applica-
ton.
The Washington times., 1930-07-12

There is, I believe, no sell
fishneSs pestier than persistent,
public sadness.
Sadness, in itself, is distres-
ing. but not necessarily demoral-
izing. It is, I suspect, as neces-
sary to life as spring plowing
and serves much the same pur-
pose. A heart that has known
no grief is usually as unpro
ductive as a patch Of wild
land. Nor is there any selfish
ness in the decent sharing Of
grief as part Of our common
lot. To give ones grief sim
ply, as one gives bread-thar
is a gracious thing. For those
who weep together, like those
who eat together, satisfy a mu-
tual need and have a friendly
communion.
But there's a vast difference
between the natural processes
of pain and a continual public
exploitation Of the same. Re
member the old verse, Laugh
and the world laughs with you
weep and you weep alone?
That seems cruel, but it isn't.
There's a very sound basis for
our GOODNESS toward chronic
grievers. We try to hide that
GOODNESS. We force ourselves
to act attentive and Sympa-
thetic. But, secretly, such suf
ferers get our goat. For, some
how, there's a terrific egotiSm
about most Of the melancholy.
In spite of their tears, they
seem to be strutting their stuff!
Exhibiting their ScadS to show
how superior they are to un-
afflicted persons. And hog
ging the spotlight under the
guise of suffering.
Etiquette Notwithstanding. we
resent this. Why should they
act as if they'd done Something
Big just because Fate socked
them one in the jaw? Why
should they demand such a
hand when suffering befalls us
all? Each heart knoweth its
own bitterness" says the Bible
and usually there's plenty to
know. But no one has a copy
right on any form of grief. No
matter what happens, millions
have been through it before.
And there is no loss that cannot
be borne in considerate and gal
liant silence, If the sufferer is
willing to so bear it.
But many publicity craving
souls refuse to bear anything in
silence. Rather. they use grief
as though it were a Colt auto

Submarine Arctic
Exploration
By Archibald Henderson, Ph.D. D.C.L., LID
Famous Scientific Authority

information made available to
the public, this submarine will
have many features of conStruc-
ton and equipment which will
especially fit it for the difficult
and dangerous task before it.
Above the submarine, which
is to travel beneath the polar
ice crust much of the time,
there is resilient bumper SINH
lar to that on the front of an
automobile.
Moreover, the submarine will
be equipped with a long feeler
arm, 80 or 40 feet in length,
which will extend upward, like
the contact pole on a trolley
car.
Thus the submarine will be
protected from bumps against
the ice crust by the spring
cushioned bumper, and in its
slow sub-surface progress will
retain contact with the under
surface Of the ice crust by
means of the long feeler arm
or contact bar.
When travelling on the sur
face, the submarine will be
driven by a Diesel engine.
While submerged, it will be
driven by electric motors and
batteries. It is estimated that
there will be some so storage
batteries in the submarine now
preparing.
There should be many oppor.
tunities to come to the surface,
for it has been estimated that
the Arctic Ocean is dotted with
open lie DIS of newly-frozen
water, at an average distance
apart of about Is miles.

average woman insists on get
ting herself up like a "cutey,"
no matter whether she re-
sembles the Washington Monu.
ment or Grants Tomb. She
WILL be kittenish and cuddly
and talk baby-talk, if it kills
you! She's somebody's little
girl" every minute of the time!
There is hardly a girl who
hasn't a pet pose" which she
puts on every morning with her
makeup. But a pose never gets
across with the right people. It
merely fills them with boredom
or amusement or mal-de-mer.
When in doubt-play trumps!
And every girls real trump in
the love-game is naturalness,
spontaneity-personality.
Not all men are attracted by
the same things in women.
Some men admire pep, jazz
ness, apd a ready wit, but many
are charmed by sweetness,
serenity, and sympathy. Some
men like a strong. breezy girl
who can swing a wicked golf
stick, but many more prefer a
fluffy, feminine dumbbell, who
knows how to listen and gaze
up at them adoringly.
