Be cheerful! Which will you do
smile, and make others happy, or
be grabbed, and make everyone
around you miserable? The amount
of happiness you can produce is in
calculable if you show smiling
face and speak pleasant words.
There is no joy like that which
springs from kind act or pleasant
deed, and you may feel it at night
when you rest, and at morning when
you rise, and through all the day
when about your business.

Praising Grand Canyon.
G COOTING across Arizona I was
~ moved to weave into this COM
plete description of the Grand Can
yon. But mercy stayed my hand. In
stead, 1 have decided to send to all
deserving applicants souvenir post
cards showing views of the canyon.
This will give the general idea. 1t
looks just like the postcards, only
larger.
There's one thing about the Grand
Canyon-long after every other nat
ural wonder has been desecrated
with architectural doodads and the
scrubbed names of individuals
whose signatures would look all
right on the register of any dollar
a-day American plan hotel, but are
sort of out of place when smeared
over one of creations masterpieces,
the Grand Canyon will still be I'M
spoiled.
California Rivers.
IT'S fun to cross a river with at
i least trace of wetness in it. It
must be my early raising, but l
like river to be dampish-in spots,
anyhow.
After two years can't get used
to southern California rivers, where,
for nine months a year, the only
craft you can navigate is stone
boat, and unless they use sprink-
ling system you can't see where
you're going, and they deepen the
channel by blasting and not by
dredging, and you come back from
an aquatic trip full of hayfever dust.
They do say the fish have to learn to
swim all over again every fall, and
down between the steep banks the
poor little frogs suffer terribly from
sunburn. It's a great country for
Holy Rollers but hard on Baptists.
q
Crater Versus Manville.
I'm TORN between temptations.
I'd like to follow the search now
on again for Judge Crater, who has
been mysteriously missing all these
years except for the two or three
hundred times when somebody said
he'd been seen. On the other hand,
Tommy Manville, the husband of
his country, is reported as having
fresh woman trouble back east
this time of blonde nature.
Still, can always prowl the des-
erts, looking for the judge. Out here,
we hunt him at regular intervals.
He's different from the Liberty
League. 1t disappeared just as sud-
denly as he did, but stayed that
way.
Commercializing Football.
nee upon a time, and not so
" very long ago, college was
known by the football team it kept.
Now it's known largely as the col
lege that some football team is keep
ing.
And sport writer's say that more
money is now being wagered on
football than on any other sport we
have. And it doesn't take an ex-
pert's eye to see that, each season.
football is becoming more and more
commercialized, more and more a
professional, profit-making industry.
Well, if football is to go the way OF
wrestling and horse racing and
prize-fighting, it'll pretty soon be so
that about the only game a chap
can play without fixing somebody
beforehand will be solitaire.
Still, being football devotee does
keep you out in the open air. But
you could say that same thing for a
seagull.

POLICE OFFER
BLOOD TOAD
INJURED

ROCKVILLE, Md, April Is.
Volunteering their physical serv-
ices for humane medical purposes
even before needed, all members
Of the Montgomery county police
force, including Chief J. william
Garrett, will have their blood
tested and placed on record so
they may be called If needed.
Chief Garrett explained that
practically all members Of the
county's several volunteer fire de-
partmentS have submitted to blood
tests and have been classified &C
cording to type. This same pro-
cedure will be followed with the
police. he added.
May Save Lives
In speaking Of urgent need Of
blood transfusions, Chief Garrett
declared that many times persons
injured in automobile or other &C
cidentS when taken to the hospi-
tai are in immediate need of trans
fuSions. Should 1t be found that
the policeman on the case is CLASH
fled as the required type and has
not submitted to a TRANSMISSION re-
Gently, he could easily be the
means Of saving a life. This could
as easily hold good in case a
brother officer or close friend
should receive a serious injury, he
said.
The Blood TRANSMISSION Unit of
the Kensington Volunteer Fire
Department. one of the first of its
kind in the State of Maryland,
has not only aided county resi-.
dents but has many times an.
Swered calls in Washington and
other nearby cities when a par
ticular type Of blood needed and
1t was found that a member of
the unit had blood that CORE
Sponded to the type required.
Fee Goes to Benefit Fund
In a case Of this kind, If the
person requiring blood assistance
is financially able to pay and so
desires, the fee collected is as a
rule placed in the firemen's ben.
eft fund. But more often the
blood donor receives no compen-
Sation or commentator for his
services, except the gratitude and
thanks Of the person in need and
the physicians in attendance.
With plans already on foot for
a policeman'S retirement and pen
sion fund, it Is believed that such
procedure will be followed where
a member of the force is called
to render such assistance.
Several members of the force,
including Chief Garrett, already
have submitted to the tests. The
others will be tested within the
next few days, the chief said
today.

STAMPS LUR F
COLLECTOR

The thing that attracts c. H,
Just, secretary of the washington
Collectors Club, to Russian stamps
is their total disregard Of pre-
cedent.
Says Mr.. Just:
almost every other country
relies on history for the decOra-
ton Of their stamps. Russia, on
the other hand, uses event SOf
the immediate past and present.
The Russian stamps are active
and current, cOlorful and arts
tic.
"The fact that the Russians
rely on no precedent in the dec
grafton Of their stamps is in it.
self interesting"
Mr.. Just also leans toward the
new Scandinavian stamps because
he is interested in the people OF
those countries. He says:
"They are so calm and "a
tiOnal about everything they do.
And the national. characters
tics of the countries, Norway,
Sweden and Denmark, are re-
Elected in their beautiful stamps.
I like the way the Scandinav.
ians manage their governments.
Maybe that's Vne of the things
that attracted me to their
stamps"
In addition, Mr.. Just collects
the new German stamps because
of their artistic quality, and the
new Austrian stamps because
they picture the various peoples
Of the country in their native cos
tunes.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April 10.
At least two of the numerous Pub
lie Works projects in Alexandria
are scheduled to get underway to-
day, while several more. including
improvements to the grounds
around the new George Washing
ton High School, are expected to
follow shortly.
In announcing that the Russell
road project and the Timber
Branch sewer project would get
started today, City Engineer H. G.
Mccartney pointed out that the
'tswampland" condition of the
school grounds would require
several weeks Of dry weather be-
fore the work could be satiSfac-
torily started.
Development of the Timber
Branch sewer will provide drain
age for Braddock Heights between
Glendale Ave. and Braddock Road
and is in readiness to begin.
Work on the Russell road prof.
ect will include resurfacing and
repairing of the entire road from
the King St. extension to Wash
ington Ave. and is hailed by city
officials as one of the most i'm
portant improvements made here
in years, since this road is the
main thoroughfare intersecting
the city. Previous work on this
road has included considerable
widening and installation of con-
crete curbing.
Improvement on the school
grounds, estimated to cost more
than $25, 900. will include grading
