I'm hearing that they are

I'm hearing this in increasing
piles of mail from indignant
wives whose husbands are lying
down on the job. The plot runs
like this: HE wasn't earning
enough for us to get married on,
so I told him I'd work until we
got a good start. Well, every
thing went fine for the first few
months. Then he lost that job.
He felt terribly about it. He
said it made him just sick to
think Of me supporting the both
Of US. He was about crazy until
he got another position, but
that only lasted seven months.
This time he didn't seem so wor-
ried. He took his time, looking
for another one. It was two
months before he found it.
Well, to make a long story short.
it has been getting worse and
worse. When he has a Job he
doesn't seem to take much inter.
est in it. He walks out, at the
least little thing. and then lies
around the house.
"This last spell, he's been
out of work for three months
and he doesn't seem to worry
at ALL"
So the story goes-ambition

Why should he be ashamed
to be out of a job with his
wife working when he knows a

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

EDy OAO AOuAS 1Ls DASEU-t
German measles is not to be
compared with ordinary measles.
German measles is technically
called rubella. while regular
measles Is known as rubeola.
Although the former also
shows an eruption it is much
milder than ordinary mea sleS
end is of shorter duration. As q
rule the rash is paler in the Ger.
man variety and the spots are
smaller and fade more quickly.
There was a time when Ger
man measles was looked upon
as a peculiar form of regular
measles, also as a peculiar form
of scarlet fever.
Nowadays, however, rubella is
regarded as separate and dis
tinct eruptive disease.
German measles should not
be regarded merely as a skin
eruption even if the rash is
mild one. The disease is a con-
stitutional one.
Furthermore, although re-
currence in ordinary measles is
rare, having had measles does
not render one immune to an
attack of German measles.
One does not have German
measles a second time.
Although it is sometimes con-
fused with scarlet fever, an at
tack of scarlet fever does not
prevent an attack Of rubella.
It usually takes from IA to 81
days for German measles to
develop.
Although some parents seem
to doubt it, there is no question
but what the disease is conta-
gious.
And incidentally 1t may be
pointed out that measles it.
self is not the harmless condi-
ton that so many hold it is.
Regular measles can be very
serious. Pneumonia and bron-
chitiS often follow in it's wake as
complications. Rheumatism may
result. Kidney disease has been
noted.
The death rate in measles
ranks as third among all erup-
tive fevers. This high mortality
is due not so much to measles
as to the lung complications so
likely to occur.
German measles usually has
no complications.

Complains About Busses
Parked on II Street

Editor, Times:
Something should be done
about this:
Traffic in Washington is at
its worst during the hours 8
to 9 in the morning and 4:30
to $50 in the afternoon; why
then should the Chamber Of
Commerce be allowed to park
six hugh sightseeing busses
along H st. N. W., at $50 in
the morning thereby making
the movement of traffic almost
impossible for people VINO have
to get to work by 9 o'clock.
Those Dutch and Spanish
and French and the Americans
(who are more foreign than
American to allow such things
to occur) had the whole day
in which to get where they were
going but the street car and
bus riding populace of Wash
ington had only an hour to
get to office, why then could
not they have arranged to have
their buses arrive after 9 in
stead of before that hour be-
cause apparently they were in
no hurry, still being parked
there long after 9 o'clock.
Office going Washingtonians
having paid an abnormal street
car or bus fare to ride to their
offices were forced to get off
and walk blocks to their re-
spective offices while these for
eigners stood around blocking
the streets. with a lot of huge
vehicles so they might go sight
seeing. at some later hour.
H st. N. W., between Four
teenth and Nineteenth, should
not have any additional traffic
during the rush hours. Traffic
moves slowly at best through
these blocks as it is. In fact
automobile traffic moving East
should be prohibited, leaving
the street clear for street cars

Art and Science
By Archibald Henderson

Art has been studied from
many different points of view.
But it is only within compare
lively recent years that mathe-
maticians, physicists and scien-
lists in general are beginning
to recognize the esthetic ele-
ments in science and to take
account of them. Moreover,
scientists. and in particular
mathematicians. are beginning
to perceive that art has a
scientific basis, and that it
may be possible. certainly for
simple art forms, to express
the esthetic qualities of an art
work in mathematical form.
The subject of coordinate
geometry. invented by the
French philosopher Descartes,
has enabled mathematicians to
study in a satisfactory way
many of the most beautiful
linear and superficial forms
which are capable of construc-
ton, curves and surfaces of
- every conceivable variety. It
is one thing, however. to set up
the equations which enable us
to trace these beautiful forms.
It is a wholly different thing,
and one filled with many ele-
ments of uncertainty. to formu-
late into equations the esthetic
principles which constitute, so
to speak, the esthetic measure
Of the, art object.
Imagine that you have
placed before you set of regu-
lar polygons in a plane: tri-
angle. square pentagon. hexa-
gon, heptagon. octagon. and
so on, indefinitely.
Or consider the myriad shapes
of delicate symmetry and exuui-
site beauty presented by the
snowflake, as seen under the
microscope. How shall we take
account of our esthetic tmpres-
sions, which perhaps increase
with the complexity of the OBJ
ject, and formulate them into
esthetic law?
It is now generally recognized

NEW AIRPLANE SKI HAS BEEN DEVELOPED
 BY DETROIT PLANT

An airplane ski, which incorpor- ates a small shock absorber said to take care of the 30 percent of the shock usually absorbed in the in- Hated tire, has been developed by the Aircraft Products Corp. at De- troit. The absorber is an integral part of the pillar" by which the skis are attached to the landing gear, and is one of the company's Junior Oildraulic" models.
 It has a travel of six inches, and supplements the action of the regu- lar absorber in the landing gear it. self
 The company authorizes the fol- lowing: This added shock absorb ing element will prevent the break ing of ski and landing gear which has troubled military and conner cial fliers landing on frozen areas of water and snow-covered fields, in the opinion of A. Ralston Stab, designer of the ski. The ski is made of wood, with removable hickory runners and reinforced with spruce, designed to fit on the standard axle of any plane.

WORK ON MEXICO AT WEST SEATTLE
 COSTS $1,OO0,0OO

Alterations to the Ward Liner Mexico, costing approximately $1,- OO0,000, are underway at the West Seattle Shops of the Alaska Steam ship Go. The Mexico, which is to operate in the Alaska routes out of Seattle as the Aleutian, will be one of the finest ships ever sent to the Territory. She was purchased on the east coast recently from the New York & Cuba Mail Steamship Co.,, known under the trade name of the Ward Line. The new Aleu- tian will sail from Seattle May 3, on her maiden voyage in the north ern routes.
 Rebuilt and refurnished, the yes sel will have 145 staterooms of which 14 will be de luxe accommo- dations with twin beds, tub and shower bath.
 There will be 2 two-berth rooms in pairs with connecting bath be- tween, 28 rooms with twin beds and a Pullman upper berth over the inside bed and 20 two-berth rooms with special accommodations. There will be hot and cold running water in every stateroom. Other features of the ship are two shelter promenade decks, a spacious obser- gation room and social hall and a lounge all on "A" deck, and smok- ing room on "B" deck. The din- ing saloon will accommodate 160 passengers at one sitting. There will be several Hobbies where writ ing desks and other accommodations will be provided.
 The new Aleutian is 416 feet long, 50 feet beam and of 10000 tons displacement. She will operate from Seattle to Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska with the steamships Alaska and Yukon, giv- ing the Alaska Steamship Co. the finest trio of ships ever operated in the northern routes. Passenger representatives of the company said that reservations are now be- ing made by residents of the east and middlewest for Alaska cruises next summer.

Commercial Demand
 For Shark Skins

WASHINGTON-The commercial use of shark leather will change what is now considered a menace to the fishing industry into one of its chief assets, according to an oral statement by the Deputy Commis- sioner, Lewis Radeliff, of the Blu reau of Fisheries. recently. Not only is the skin very valuable but the fin, liver and other parts of the shark have a very high commercial value he added.
 During the past 10 years the Blu reau has been trying to promote the use of the shark leather and re- markable progress has been made, it was stated, for it was found by comparison that shark leather was actually as durable as the highest grade calfskin and could not be successfully initiated. Instead of the fisherman killing and throwing the earcasses of the sharks back into the water, they are now realiz- ing that these fish have value as high as most fisn and with contin- ued research work will prove even more valuable than edible fish, it was said
 Shark livers contain an oil that is valuable and is considered in many quarters as useful as cod liver oil. The amount of oil contained in the flyers varies from Is to 20 pounds the deputy commissioner said.
 Shark fins are a oriental delica- cy and. sell as high as s1 a pound, many thousands of pounds being shipped thru the ports on the west coast, he pointed out.
 One of the features of the indus try is that no necessary equipment be placed aboard ships as fishermen already have the paraphernalia and in many instances only the crudest kind is used, MT. Radcliff said. The present catch at Greenland is more than 32,000 sharks annually and only simple equipment is used, it was shown.
 Novelties obtained from other parts of shark such as the teeth for souvenirs and the backbone for walking canes, it was said, all tend to make the shark a highly valu- able catch commercially.

WOLVES NUMEROUS ON UPPER PANAMA;
 SLAUGHTER MOOSE
Feared That Predators Will Be- come Menace to Trappers
 In Region

A marked scarcity in the number of moose in the upper Panama coun- try is attributed solely to the pres ence of wolves in ever increasing numbers by Capt. c. D. 0'Flanagan, pioneer trader of that district. The decrease in moose has been paral- lelled by the increase in wolves and has been in progress over a number of years. Where we tra- ders five years ago would probably be able to buy on an average of 100 moose skins annually from the nR- tives the number this year will not be more than 25," Capt. 0'Flana- gan explained in a statement given to the News-Miner at Fairbanks several days ago.
 If measures of eradication are not taken soon it will become danger ous for trappers to take their dog teams out on the lines and there may be peril even to human life, although Capt. O'Flanagan says wolves display fear of men and he believes the proyocation would have to be very great before they would attack a human being.
 But dog flesh is said to be the favorite food of wolves and in sup port of his conception that there is real truth to this, he cites two in- stances which occurred in the Tana- na country.
 An Indian who had pitched his tent about Is miles from Lake let lin with the intention of making his trapping headquarters here re- turned to the tent one night after dark with his dog team. He went into the tent to start fire and while he was doing so heard the dogs fighting.
 Going out to separate them he soon saw there were more animals than had been in his team and quickly realized that wolves were attacking. The natives gun was lashed on the sled and chancing be- ing attacked himself he made his way to the sled and secured his weapon. Opening fire, he killed three wolves and the rest made off into the woods. Three of his dogs were killed. Because of the imper- feet light the Indian could not see how many wolves had been routed but he believes there were eight or ten.
 On another occasion an Indian family had made camp on the shores of a lake. The man had gone out trapping for the day when his wife heard a rustling among the dogs which had been tied near the flap of the tent.
 Looking out she saw lone wolf ready to attack. The woman seized rifle and shot through the open ing of the tent and killed the wolf which was only about six feet away.
 Capt. O'Flanagan says the coy otes have migrated this winter with the fur bearers.
 Milo Hajdukovich has purchased Capt. O'Flanagan's three trading posts, located at Tetlin, Tanana Crossing and Nabesna. The captain may make trip to the states in the spring and return with Mrs O'Flanagan, who went outside early in the fall.

BUSINESS is BETTER
ON BEACH RAILWAY

j. M. Rector, treasurer of the Chesa-
peake Beach Railway Co., Is Of the
opinion that the vastly increased
freight business of that company re-
fleets better business conditions in
Southern Maryland. During the quar-
ter just ended the tonnage handled by
the company was 200 per cent greater
than in the corresponding quarter of
last year, the increase for March hav-
ing been particularly large, 35l per
cent.
Of1cials of the company find that in
creased building activity in the terri
tory is partly responsible for the in
creased business. However, organiza-
tion of shipping business in that ter
ritory, so that round-abount transit is
being cut down, has also figured prom
inently.
Capt. John H Hughes, general agent
of the company, has been in that post
only about a year, but he has been in
close contact with shippers, for the
purpose of reducing transportation rates
and increasing speed of shipments
through new routing of commodities.
Owings, Md, is designed to become the
principal distributing point along the
line, and the Southern Maryland To-
bacco Growers Association has estab-
lished distributing warehouse there.
Evidence Of the prosperity OF the sec
ton appears in the numerous shipments
Of automobiles.
