WITH CURLEY
GROWS

BOSTON, May is GN.s)-Dis-
trict Court Judge wallace r.
Heady, Of Springfield, aged II, re-
signed today in protest over pre-
scription by Governor James M.
Curley Of physical and mental ex-
aminationS for all judges over 70
years of age.
Judge Heady declared he would
rather resign than submit to the
examinations which have brought
a storm Of protests from bar as
sociations.
The jurist had served on the
District Court bench continuously
since 1914.
Meanwhile, Governor James M,
Curley remained firm today in
his decision to require all judges
over the age Of 70 to undergo
physical and mental examina-
tions to prove their fitness for
the bench.
The governor charged the Lib
erty League and Republican lead
ers with fostering opposition to
his plan. Letters already have
been mailed to the judges con-
tanning questionnaires concerning
their age and health.
The Boston Bar Association
condemned Governor Curley'S
plan &C an Outrageous general
inquisition. as cruel as it is
offensive to the feelings Of every
yight-minded person."
Judge Patrick j. Duane, u
years old and still vigorous, made
his own fortnight answer to the
governors demands. For his
physical test, he suggested q
boxing match between himself
and the governor.

~ UPPOSE you should hear some
one remark, That's Q shark"
Would you be able to remember
- the outstanding marks Of one?
There are not so many Of them and
all sharks have enough similar fea-
lures to set them apart from all other
fish.
First Of all. q typical shark Is a
long, slender-bo fish, built along
stream lines, with q slit-like mouth
on the under side Of the head and
filled with sharp teeth. There Is a
long, bulbous snout and row Of gill
openings on each side back Of the
head. The upper part Of the tailfin
is much larger than the lower.
The body Is covered with small bony
nodules, not scales. These nodules
are formed like teeth. In fact, the
teeth in the mouth are developed in
the same fashion. The skin Of the
shark Is so tough that 1t Is used for
polishing wood and Is known CONNER
cially as shagreen.
Another very interesting point to
remember Is the sharks skeleton Is
all gristle or cartilage, not bone as you
will find in other fish, and the shark
does not possess an air bladder. OF
course, these last distinctions are for
the scientists. but still you will want
to know this point for yourself.
AS you well know, sharks are speed
demons. They know not Of traffic
regulations of the ocean floor or CELL
ing. If they did. the chances are they
are more like gangsters and break all
laws when going after what they want,
for a shark considers everything his

Personal Idionis.

TDIOM: "a use Of words peculiar to q
particular language, especially II
it be an irregularity." And further,
'Idiomatic phrases should be carefully
distinguished from figurative phrases. I"
So says my word book.
We now turn from the dictionary
to the book Of human nature. Human
beings have their peculiarities-their
idiomatic behaviorisms and manner
isms. And while these idiomatic ways
of behaving are not accepted by the
cataloguers Of what Is correct and
proper, these same idioms of behavior
are the very things that create some
bodies out Of standardized individuals.
Personal idioms are vastly more sig
nificant than language idioms We
know people by their personal idioms.
In other words, we do not know peo-
ple until we discover their irregulari-
ties and calculate the regularity OF
their irregularities. For example. Ed
ward Wits first message to Parlia-
ment contains the personal pronoun
'I" instead of the age-old standards
zation, "we." This idiomatic express
sion of a new king among kings
stamps him as o somebody. MO.
mentous guesses are being made.
And now I paraphrase: 1diomatic
behaviorisms should be carefully dis
tinguished from figurative behavior
isms. You will find lot of indivi-
duals who make hourishes. They like
to create the impression that they
are somebodies. If you can determine
when these pseudo -idioms are in
action, you will be able to distinguish
the gusher from the genuine person,
the stupid from the intelligent, the
weakling from the man who is strong.

their separate external gill openings

You have met several members Of
this gangster group Of the sea. One
thing you must remember-that the
shark does not really attack any
human being, because it happens to
meet one and has sort of grudge
against mankind. It is merely an
other creature to the great fish. Nil
lions of people who swim in the waters
where sharks also spend much Of their
time merely tend to frighten them
away. Besides, the fish prefer deeper
water. only seldom becoming stranded
where 1t is shallow.
It is said that it is the great white
shark that swallowed Jonah, and that
there was abundant room inside for
the imprisoned one to be comfortable

But others insist 1t was a whale. and

SHOOTING
SUSPECTS ESCAPE
Three Men Are Gone From
Colonial Beach When
Police Arrive.

Three men suspected of completely
in the shooting July 81 Of Joseph E.
O'Brien, %, as a result Of what police
described as a war over illicit liquor
business here, were still at liberty to-
day after q squad Of detectives re-
turned empty-handed from speedy
trip to an alleged Summer hide-out
at Colonial Beach, Va.
Believed to have been tipped of,
the trio-Vernon Tate, Clarence
Ware and John Sweeney-was not at
the resort when Detective Lieut..
Clement Cox and Detective Sergts.
Thomas McVearry and Howard Ogle
arrived there Saturday night.
Police said they took along war
rants charging the three men with
assault with a dangerous weapon.
Four other men already have been
arrested in connection with the shoot
ing of O'Brien and are under bond.
They are Charles (Rags) Warning,
Samuel Montgomery, Joseph Bond
and George Tear.
They were identified by O'Brien,
police said, as three men who were
in a car from which the shots were
fired at O'Brien as he stood in front
of a cafe in the 200 block Of Second

Those under bond and the trio
sought are said by police to be mem

The common type of eel, known
to every fresh-water fisherman,
breeds in the ocean. Young eels in
the Spring ascend rivers and streams
by millions, sometimes travelling over
land to infest every pond and tribu-
tary.
Among the most formidable
branches of the eel family are the
great morays which lurk in coral
reefs of the Caribbean. Some of them
weigh as much as man and have
a cruel set of teeth. The moray has
done much to discourage swimming
about the outlying reefs. He is
carniverous and pugnacious, and has
been known to attack man in the
water.

NEW TRAFFIC LIGHT
TO GET TEST TODAY
"Rush Hour" to Determine
Worth of Device at 18th
and New York.

Washington's most complicated traf-
fic light, recently installed at Fifteenth
street and New York avenue, was to
have its first test under rush hour"
conditions today.
The new light permits traffic to
cross Fifteenth street from Pennsyl-
vania to New York avenue for the first
time in years. and also permits left
turns from Fifteenth to Pennsylvania
for northbound traffic.
To speed up automobile traffic at
the intersection, one of the busiest in
the city, street cars cross on alternate
signals Pedestrians crossing Fifteenth
along the south side of Pennsylvania
avenue also are afforded protection
by the new signal.
The new light worked satisfactorily
yesterday. the first day it was in op-
Grafton, but some readjustments may
be necessary in the timing of the light
changes after the first rush hour
test, Traffic Director William A. Van
DuZer said.
"At one time yesterday, more cars
were moving through the intersection
under the new system than under the
DID," Van Duzer explained.
However, the automobile and pedes-
trian traffic was not comparable to
what will be experienced today and we
will have to watch the timing under
stress before We can say it is salts
factory under all conditions.
II feel confident a slight change in
timing will be all that is necessary to
solve the problem of moving traffic at
this corner as quickly as the heavy
flow of automobiles, street cars and
pedestrians will permit"
Capital Transit Co. officials today
pointed out that the new lights and
improved conditions for motor traffic
we're made at a cost of 100000 to
that company.
The changes made were in the in
stallation of new switches and tracks
on New York avenue between Four
teenth and Fifteenth streets and
Fourteenth street between H street
and New York avenue.

PLANS TO EASE TRAFFIC
AT PEACE CROSS CITED
Auto Club to Offer Proposals to
Maryland Officials This
Week.

Renewing its drive to relieve week
end traffic congestion at the Bladens-
burg Peace Cross, the Keystone Auto
Club today announced it would lay two
plans designed to solve the problem
before the Maryland State road COM
missioner this week.
The first plan, as outlined by George
Z. Keneipp, president of the club. pro-
poses extension of Kenilworth avenue
to connect with Defense Highway
Construction of this road, about two
miles in length, could be accomplished
at an estimated cost of about S25,000,
Keneipp said. adding that the plan
would greatly relieve congestion at
Peace Cross by providing a new en-
trance into Washington for persons
going to or returning from Maryland
resorts by way of Defense Highway.
The second plan, for which no esti-
mates have been completed, contem-
plates an overhead pass from Defense
Highway over the Baltimore Pike, with
q cloverleaf system of entrances back
into the pike. Keneipp said an under
pass probably would be impracticable
at that point because of the excessive
moisture in the soil.
