THE HUMAN ELEMENTS

With safety glass, steel turret
top bodies and Life Guard tubes,
automobiles are now safer than
drivers, according to Government
highway safety engineers. Eventu-
ally, the experts hope they will be
greeted in their fight to- drastically
curb Americas high toll of dead and
injured in traffic accidents, through
the enactment of uniform traffic
and compulsory inspection laws.
They admit, however, that the hui
man element remains the greatest
highway safety hazard.
Safety engineers hail the advent
of Life Guard safety tube os prob
ably the greastest recent contribu-
tion to highway safety. This new tire
introduced by President Paul W,
Litchfield of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio,
permits the driver to bring his car
to dead stop without swerving and
accident in the event of a blowout
or puncture. The new tube is actual
ly two tubes, one Of which retains
air when there is a puncture or
blowout for a sufficient length OF
time for the diver to bring the car
under control without swering.

THE MODERN POWER

In earliest-America the rivers and
streams were highways. Then few
horses were introduced into the
Colonies. A hundred years ago steam
railroads were developing. Within
the last forty years coal has been
replaced to large extent by oil and
electricity.
But most persons will be surpris-
ed to know that the Diese! engine
is now being used on more than %
railroads.
AS the final "all aboard" is sound
ed, all of the good American pioneer
spirit surges through your being as
you pull out ON one of these Diesel
powered streamlined trains with
electric heat, new type electric
lights, telephones, private rooms,
new types beds, shelves, closets and
many other new things-in other
words a first class hotel. And all
this is whisked across continent at
100 miles per hour by the new s.
400-horse power locomotive which
was built by General Motors at La
Grange, Illinois.

UNEMPLOYED In MARYLAND

During the past few weeks the
number of unemployed persons seek
ing work through the Maryland
State Employment Service has been
reduced by more than 10000, it was
announced this week by D. L. B.
Fringer, Director.
The past week saw 10 men and
women returned to work by the II
branches of the State Employment
Service, 424 of them being placed in
private industry.
Commenting on the progress made
by the Service during the past
month, Mr.. Fringer said:
1.-THE active file for the entire
State has been reduced to approx
imately 100000, or $4,000 less than
on the first of June. This would in
dictate that seasonal unemployment
begins to be felt.
''The fact that more than twice
as many persons were placed with
private employers during the past
week, than on public works projects,
also indicates that the Service is full
filling it's major purpose. That is the
gradual sterilization of the employ
ment picture by putting men and
women back to work in private in
dustry."
During the week just past the
Ii offices of the State Employment
Service reported the following place
ments:
Annapolis, 21; Baltimore, 377;
Cambridge, As; Chestertown, +;
Cumberland, 81; Frederick, SO;
Hagerstown, 81; Hywattsville, IA;
Rockville, 81. Salisbury, 33 and

LUNCHES FOR SCHOOL
CHILDREN

The distribution of hot lunches to
thousands of school children during
the past two-and-a-half years is rat
ed among the most important Work
Progress Administration projects in
Maryland, by F. H. Dryden, state
Administrator.
Pointing out that when the first
WPA program was launched in
Maryland a survey revealed that So
per cent of the school children in
certain sections of the State were
undernourished, Mr.. Dryden said:
"All WPA programs are designed
to build not only for the present but
the future. Roads, bridges, sewage
systems and other physical accom-
plishments of WPA will serve thei,
communities for years to come.
but when you consider we have
given good health, perhaps life it
self, to thousands of school children,
giving them an opportunity to grow
into strong men and women, feel
that these projects must be rated ON
a par with the most important car
ried out in the State"
The hot lunch projects were spon-
sored by the Board of Education in
the various counties, and supported
largely through contributions made
by Parent-Teacher Associations of
the various schools.
Menus are prepared according to
specifications laid down by trained
dieticians.
Wholesome mourishing food is
provided the children, including
meat, vegetable stews, puddings and
fresh fruits. School lunch projects
were carried out in Charles, Queen
Anne, Talbot and Wicomio.
During the present year the hot
lunch project at Fruitland, Wi
comico county, has served more than
5000 lunches; the project in the
Centerville Elementary School,
Queen Annes, has served about 49,
900 lunches to II children, while
the Talbot County project served
about 10000.
The largest of these projects, now
suspended, was carried out in
Charles county, where $50 children
were being served each day. A total
of 124,491 lunches were served
while this project was active.

How to Clean Unglazed Stone

An efficient cleaning preparation
fer unglazed stone door stills is made
from one gallon of soft soap, one
pint of ammonia and two pounds of
finely powdered pumice stone, says
the National Paint, Varnish and
Lacquer association. The stone
should first be thoroughly cleaned of
SCOT and dust, the mixture applied
and allowed to stand for a half hour
or more Then scrub well into the
surface of the stone with a stiff
brush or broom. Rinse off thor
oughly with clear water. If one
application is not sufficient repeat
the process a second time.

Here are some pointers on devel-
op;ng track form: Perfect form is
very seldom natural; it must be
learned. The first and most i'm
portant thing for any young runner
to strive for is relaxation. Any
tenseness you may have while run
ming puts strain on every one of
your muscles and increases fatigue.
Therefore your entire performance
is slowed down. You must work to-
ward an easy, natural running form,
with your body leaning forward and
a coordination of your arm and
leg motion. Have you ever tried
running with your hands in your
pockets? Try it some time, and
you'll see how important your arm
movement is in developing a good
running stride.

How to Initiate Stained Glass

Ordinary cloth dyes obtainable at
drug and dry goods stores can be
used to initiate stained glass. A
color is selected and the dye is
then mixed with white shellac,
which is then applied to the glass.
If transparency is required, one coat
is enough. Successive coats reduce
transparency. A coat of thinned
clear varnish is then applied over
the shellac stain, permitting clean
ing with a dampened cloth.

HOW
LAUGHTER FRESHENS BLOOD

| LII l. 1t1IAJI1II4No A1OOO
AND AIDS HEART ACTION
Mirth is to the human body as
sunshine is to vegetation, DR.. S.
A. Shoemaker states in an ar
ticle entitled Laughter" in Hy-
geia, the Health Magazine.
If we would have life abundant
and flowing over, we need CO.
pious supply of oxygen. the au-
thor declares, and this can be
secured most easily through
laughter. At the same time, this
deeper oxygenization of the blood
is secured without the irksome-
ness of conscious effort that ac-
companies exercise taken up for
its own sake.
Thus through laughter one can
vitalize ones blood while reclin-
ing on an overstuffed couch when
not able to engage in active
sports in the gymnasium.
Laughter is source of therapy
for the neurotic, irregular heart
Patients with this affliction are
afraid to laugh lest their heart
will stop altogether; whereas ex-
periments have proved that a
hearty laugh repeated at proper
intervals has relieved this trou-
BILE. The heart is deeply under
the influence of the emotions, and
the free outburst of laughter COM
bined with its mechanical action
produces a salutary effect on that
organ.
Laughter is a good exercise for
the digestive organs. They are
definitely moved to increased ac-
tivity by the shaking and mas
sage they get from the abdomi-
nal muscles during laughter.

How to Frame Pictures

Put a little imagination into the
framing of your pictures and see
what a difference this touch of in
dividuality makes. Above all, avoid
using heavy, deliberately embel-
lished frame, especially a gilt one,
unless you have an old master to
put in it and a very ornate room
to hang it in. For water colors, etch-
ings and modern paintings, frames
of simple design are much more
pleasing.

PARTY PURGE
j. E. Jones

Washington-Poli war is be-
ing waged by Administration leaders
upon Democratic candidates for re-
election who have opposed the Presi-
dent. This is IAN old American GUS
tom," but it has failed in the past
The situation changes somewhat,
though, with the years, and we find
that Chairman Farley of the Demo-
cratic Committee, Secretary Ickes,
Harry Hopkins, James Roosevelt,
and other leaders, tell who to
purge" Unofficially, John L. Lewis
has been trying his hand. He failed
in Pennsylvania, and now there is
considerable worry in National po-
litical circles in Washington about
how much damage he may do to
Democratic plans.
Senator Wheeler of Montana, who
led the Democratic revolt against
the Roosevelt court reorganization
bill, speaks the opinion prevailing
in large part of the Senate and
House that the interference from
Washington in State affairs by Ma
tional leaders, will be resented by
the voters, and endanger the existing
power of the majority party in Con-
gress, help the third party headed
by the LaFollettes, and likely lose
the Presidency for the Democrats in
the 1910 elections. This may seem
| like pessimism to large part of the
electorate of the country. Only time
will tell whether Senator Wheeler
has prophesied the future correctly.
A hundred or more Congressman
admit privately that they are in
danger of defeat this Fall-and most
of them are supporters of the New
Deal.
Evidently the party purge is
part of plan to reorganize the
Democratic party, among whose
leaders there is general under
standing that there must be an in
crease of liberals" to maintain the
New Deal and offset the loss OF
membership of voters who believe in
more conservative" methods OF
Government. They are headed to-
wards the Republican party.
| Uncertainty
The national outlook for improve
ment in the business situation
changes somewhat, but so-called
elements of recovery are develop
| ing very slowly. "Relief" through
| Government spending is on the way,
but Jobs IN private industry are
still very uncertain. 1t will be recall
ed that the prophets began last Fall
to promise better times" will come
in the Fall. Sit tight, brother.
What's The Matter
Production has dropped in the
United States by approximately 40
per cent. 100000 additional work
ers have swelled the ranks OF the
unemployed. Free markets are dull
so far as customers go. The custom
ers are either broke or ON the rocks.
The buying power is down. There is
competition everywhere-only the
politicians deny the fact.

her grandfather, the late Andrew
