} Love didn't fool us. We fooled
ourselves - deliberately. stub
bornly fooled ourselves because
We wanted something. We
knew it wasn't worth wanting.
We knew it violated every
cherished standard. And our
common sense yelled itself blue
in the face, warning us to lay
off. But we wouldn't lay off.
FoV all this time there was this
tugging, teasing, tantalizing at
traction we call love.
Actually it wasn't love at all.
1t was only desire. But never
was it the desire of the MIND
for always the mind knew
and feared the danger ahead.
But we wouldn't listen to the
minds warning. So we went
stubbornly, drunkenly ahead
And then came the inevitable
day when we said-"We never
were meant for each other. l
knew it all along but somehow
I couldn't believe it. I thought
if we loved each other enough,
everything would turn out all
right"
Love isn't blind. But it trag-
ically often puts on binders.

Painter Wants To Know
Why He Is Out of Work

Editor. Times
Regarding the campaign beinl
launched by merchants, contrac
tors and others appealing to Wash
ingtonians to buy in the Capita
and to award their contracts fol
work to local contractors, is as il
should be.
However, some Of the local con
tractors should begin practicine
what they preach by employing
local mechanics to do local work
If local contractors are justified
in claiming the right to local con
tracts, then local mechanics are
justified in claiming the right to
perform the work.
/ am a painter and a darn good
one, too. But like hundreds OF
other Washington mechanics with
families to support, I have walked
the streets of Washington for the
past eight months begging for
work, while the bosses continue to
hire floaters. There is at the pres
ent several Sizeable jobs Of paint
ing being done in Washington.
But if you will inquire of the men
themselves you will find that from
IS to so per cent of them are out
of-town men. Do they spend their
money in washington? / don't
know. But I do know that we
washington painters can't spend
any unless we are given a chance
to earn some.
Yea, local contractors should re-
ceive the contracts, alright

There is something deeply
impressive and mysterious
about an eclipse of the sun. In
ancient times, people generally
regarded an eclipse as an omen
of deep significance. indicating
some extraordinary event or
coming cataclysm in nature or
In world affairs.
In modern times, eelipses are
welcomed by the scientists as
affording valuable though brief
occasions for studying certain
solar phenomena about which
comparatively little is as yet
known.
At the time of an eclipse, the
moon intervenes between the
sun and the earth. An eclipse
may be either anpular or total.
In the former case, the moon
appears a little smaller +han
the sun and a ring of ligh5 is
seen around the moon. In the
latter case, the moon COM
plete1y hides the sun from sight
for a, very brief interval. This
can happen despite the fact
that the sun is larger than the
moon. because the sun is so
far off, compared with the
moon. from the earth.
TheAsun's diameter and dis
tance exceed the moons diam
eter and distance in almost the
same ratio.
To the average person an
eclipse of the sun is an inter
eSting but almost meaningless
phenomenon. The scientists are
eager for eclipSes to occur, IN
order that they may study the
suns atmosphere, the corona,
the deviation of light rays and
many other features about
which comparatively little is
known.
Scientists are now agreed
that there are 80 chemical ele-
ments on the earth, although
not all of them have as yet
been isolated. Recent astrono-

vulsion mean epilepsy.
It Is a well-known fact that
children may very readily have
a convulsive seizure from q COM
paratively Slight cause. A di-
gestive disturbance may bring
such a condition about. Some
Of the febrile diseases may
be ushered in with convulsions.
Nevertheless. If a child has
convulSions frequently the early
indications of epilepsy should
be suspected.
AT any rate, whether epilepsy
or no, such a child must be
sick and q medical diagnosis
Of exactly what is wrong is i'm
perative in all cases.
Epilepsy, whether appearing
during childhood or after ma.
turity, is marked by recurring
ConvulsionS which come on at
more Or less regular intervals
and which tend to increase
both in severity and frequency.
Very often the earliest signs
are feelings of transient dizzi-
ness. In effect, the patient IS
unconscious for the briefeSt
space of time-maybe only for
a second or two-and no con-
vulsion follows.
Later on. as the disease gains
headway, these attacks of "lit-
tie sickness" what we call, af-
ter the French, petit NAL" -
last longer and longer, until
finally unconsciousness makes
the individual fall to the ground.
Then the convulsive part of the
attack usually follows.
There are cases in which the
individual never has a petit NAL
seizure andsonly an attack Of
"big sickness is, grand
NAL" There are likewise cases
in which the patient has both
forms Of the disorder grand
NAL attacks interspersed with
one or more petit NAL nantes
tations.
Epilepsy tends to get worse.
After months or years it leads
to mental dullneSS, poor mem
ory and a general deterioration
of all the mental faculties.
Patients never outgrow cpl
lepsy, as one sometimes hears
said
Even if<an epileptic cannot be
cured, treatment should be car
ried on indefinitely so as to re-
duce the severity of the disease
as well as ward off, as long AS
possible, the mental effects.

TINY MUSCLES
CONTROE
SWING
By CHESTER HORTON

Swinging your golf club Is al
ways matter of touch and feel
Just as you have always been
told.
Since you know your club
should be made to respond to
your sense of touch, 1t becomes
obvious that your swing is made
by a myriad of tiny muscles.
Some of these are in your fingers.
Others are in your wrists and
forearms. Some are wrapped
around your knees and still more
are down in your feet and toes.
All in this work are your small
muscles of feel and touch. Your
big, massive muscles have little to
do with your golfing action. You
use them to walk with.
These tiny muscles do not have
very much endurance, indiYidu-
ally. Any one Of them viii tire
quickly. The muscles Of your
eyes, for example, are typical
small muscles. To learn how
quickly such muscles will tire,
look fixedly at some object. Your
gaze quickly will seek to turn
away. This is because the small
muscles involved want to rest.
The small muscles which
control your golf swing are
not very different, individu-
ally. when they have tired
enough, your shots begin to
go sour. Your golf blows up,
along about the twelfth hole.
One common contributing cause
for this is too much practice
swinging. Some players are given
I to swinging their clubs almost
continuously. It is a common
sight, too, to see players violently
swinging drivers near the first
tee. They are doing everything
possible to make their shots go
bad right at the start.
