HE TRAVELLED 1O1 MILES IN 20 YEARS

This crab scientific Neptunus pelasieus) was
caught in the Red Sea 30 years ago and marked with disk
to identify it.
has just arrived Port Said at the other end of the
suez Canal having travelled length of the canal 1o1 miles,
in 20 years, averaging speed Of % INCHES hour.
Professor Gruev Paris Geological Garden gives you
these connection with the studies of fish, crusa
their between the Indian Ocean and the
Mediterranean.
Twenty-nine years lorg time to wait to find out
how rapidly crab travel through the suez Canal But
patience waiting important part of scientific achieve
ment.
Darwin you know studied the earthworms for 80 years. with
greatest concentration get material for his small
work earthworms
average much given to concentrated science
except general way The interesting thing about this crab
and his long, slow journey demonstration Of the fact that
everything is COMPARATIVE.
We used crawl around the earths surface slowly, walk
ing on feet in the ancient days. then riding buf
faoes oxen camels elephants Now travel hundred
miles an by automobile hundred and fifty miles
hour by aipane and think ourselves FAST And look
down on the lowly crab doing his patient perserverng
% inches an hour.
But what we think of the crab glory greater
speed Just what light the electric current would think
of us.
We are proud 60 $50 miles hour Light goes 10000
miles Ger SECOND This slow old earth axis the
1000 miles hour and goes around the 100000
miles year. Divide that by the number of hours in year
and you will find that the speed the earth makes fastest
flying look slower than crab crawling.
And in space u.s. there thousand million suns,
all travelling much faster than this earth
The moral of all this is: DO THE BEST THAT YOU CAN,
CRITICIZING YOURSELF CRITICIZING NOBODY ELSE,
AND GIVING TO EACH CREDIT, BE IT CRAB OR AIR

work in public schools be considerably increased
Dr. Fowler wants 10 additional medical inspectors IL more
nurses four dental operators two dental preparatory
operators and two additional dental clinics
The Districts health officer not the kind Of man to ask
large additional expenditures for better health among Dslct
school children unless it is absolutely necessary.
The truth is that not spend too much money IN this
direction under existing shortcomings and our citizens know
this to be true
The Washington Council of Social Agencies asserts that
there are serious defects the health program OF District

Throwing Away Opportunities
Don't allow yourself to slump
when it comes to ambition and
working to attain a worthy end.
You may be discouraged and
let up on your efforts for time.
But don't let up and quit.
It sometimes is necessary to
slow down and consider a better
: way of going about carrying out
your intentinoS.
Sometimes a rest is a good
thing to get fresh breath and a
running start on second wind.
But to give up and get the
whats the use" spirit is to ac-
knowledge yourself failure.
Are you luxury-loving and de-
Sirious of a good time?
Do you forget that amusement
is not the sum total of life?
Do you realize that you can
never regain the lost minutes
and days?
Can you bring to mind stories
of great men, perhaps in your
own family, who have accom-
plished great things?
Are you going to let others
get ahead of you?
What is the good Of having
good parentage and education if
YOU don't show results of Su-
perior advantages in a practical
and tangible way?
Are you throwing away oppor-
tunities which others are Striv-
ing to procure? =

LISTEN, WORLD!
By ELSIE ROBINSON

But I'VE Travelled, seen places,
done things" you protest.
"I've had a thousand inter
eStS-"
Wrong Again!
You're wrong. You've never
been anywhere outside
YOURSELF. You have never
experienced anything except
YOUR SELF. Great
things have happened AROUND
you, but they have never hap
pened IN you. For you were
not concerned with their great
ness. You were only concerned
with THEIR REACTION ON
YOU. You spent your time
counting your pulse beats while
the whole circus roared by.
YOUR EMOTIONS - they've
been your whole show. No won
der you've gone stale!
For, after all, how ample and
diversified are your emotions?
A little love, a little hate, con-
ceit and desire, anger and fear
the same, small fistful of
emotions, over and over and
over. You're surprised that you
have exhausted them in %
years? Actually, you could
have learned all there was to
know about them in % minutes.
Nothing novel or complicated
about you or your generation,
lad. You're as simple as any
fish worm. And, no matter
what you do, you harp on the
same old repertoire.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL
SPEND YOUR LIFE PLAYING
WITH YOUR TOES!
Go Get Your Thrills!
Starving for thrills-you say?
THEN GO OUT AND GET
THEM! Cut out the ga-ga ges-
lures! Stop making faces at
yourself and listening to your
own broadcast! Get out where
life is really going on out
where humans are collecting
medals for something smarter
than guzzling cheap gin and
necking cheap women and
riding around in kiddie cars.
The world is full of adventures
the immortal adventures OF
the brain and soul. life is full
of wonders and challenges.
and they never stale, my son.
But it takes a man to tackle

Letters to the Editor From Readers of The Times

Said he: "It is for the genera
tion that survived the World
War to devive measures of pre-
vention. If we fail in this we
shall deserve all the disaster
which will surely be visited on
us because of our failure" To-
day our President tells the
International Chamber of Com
merce of the failure to secure
Peace through either competi-
tive arms or intimidation
Across the water a British
ambassador tells that he con-
Cured with the German foreign
minister that the "mismanage-
ment and stupidity" of all the
statesmen concerned caused
the late World War.
To this Lloyd George adds
that their motives call for the
whitening contempt of human
ity." Today these same
Statesmen" are endeavoring
to persuade the public that
every nation is endangered by
the armamentS of every other,
Britain endangered by Amer
lea, America endangered by
Japan, Italy by France, etc.
By the Kellogg Pact all ma
tions foreswore war. Obviously,
then President Hoover's coun-
sci, disarmament, is not only
logical but wise and possible;
the diSarmed Northern border
line of the U. S. A, where
neither nation has fired shot
or drawn sword in over a cen
tury, being not only a inspiring
demonstration of possibility,
but an example which the
world must follow. Justice, not
force, must and will ensure
peace; and the worlds public
opinion be modified to con-
denim the idiocy, of war.
Armies and navies have failed!
Try common sense!

Twenty-three. And every
thing gone stale. Listen
Maybe you'll laugh - maybe
you'll cry-don't know which
and don't care. Here's my
story. I had a good home, fine
mother, everything I needed.
Yet at IL I began carrying news
papers so I could have my own
money to spend. That was my
first step toward freedom. Even
as a kid, I had a great time.
The company for which my ia
ther worked transferred us from
city to city. Gay times-always
something doing-amusement,
excitement.
At II, left school for a $50
per week job, against my par
ents' wishes. Result car,
wine, women and song-thrills
aplenty. Ran the gauntlet.
Burnt? Yes, in a dozen places.
Was that a lesson? No-just
begging for more.
Married. Doctors bills. Fu-
neral bills. A big, baby boy, all
mine.
Took up flying. Even that
got stale, after a while. Ex-
perimented with electricity and
mechanics. Stale-Stale! Tried
farming to get grip on myself.
Too tame. Nearly died of
boredom.
. A Sad Tale
Married again. Separated.
Got no breakS-didn't want
any. Chasing again. Full speed
ahead-give 'er the gun! Wo-
man killer-they can't leave me
alone. Yet, woman hater -
though I can't leave them
alone.
And now-I'm stalled. Tried
everything once and it's all
stale. Yet I'm starving for
thrills. Maybe II try auto
racing-wonder if that will 60
stale, too. WHAT'S 1T ALL
ABOUT? NIB.

WHAT'S TT ALL ABOUT?"
Well, SON, up to the present
moment it has been ALL
ABOUT YOURSELF. And why
has everything gone stale?
That's why. Because no matter
now smart you are, or how dar-
ing, AS AN EXCLUSIVE TOPIC
OF INTE REST YOU'RE
BOUND TO BE A FLOP.

Reflections on the
Derby Broadcast

Editor, Times:
Why can't the radio an
nouncers get together on the
matter of pronunciation?
Listening in last Saturday to
the broadcast Of the Kentucky
Derby, one found one an
nouncer pronouncing the race
in the good Anglican fashion
with the "a" as in ARE"
And then tuning in on the
other chain, it was pronounced
in good American with the
pronunciation as in "purr."
Also, Mr.. Editor, which is
the accepted form in America?
One other pertinent question
and I will sign off. Why,
when other companies gladly
gave up their regular time to
the running of this great
sporting event, did the two
colored toothpaSte men re-
fuse and cut off the descrip-
ton of the race, forcing lis
teners to turn to some other
station? It was certainly not
a sporting thing to do, and it
did not make them any friends
I believe.

Howell Enforcement Bill

Senator Howell WILL stories say, "seften' his
District prohibition enforcement bill at the next session OF
Congress the hope of winning support for it. This soften
ing will be in the drastic search and seizure provisions
Senator'S and Representatives usually vote upon District
matters perfunctory way but this liquor bill they
4oing to be wideawake Their national attitudes prohb

controversy.
