Turn yourself loose to tackle
ANYTHING. And watch it
come back to you, VICTORI-

And your tears will be turned
to smiles and life will be rosy
where, for so long, it has been
blue.
Will there be sneers, doubts,
cutting laughter, cruel words?
OF course there Willis part Of
the price we all pay. But your
REAL Self won't mind the Bit

spur it on to take greater risks,
endure greater punishment,
drive further on IN MANS

Captain Shehan and his crew
Of two men must patrol the Po'
tomac from Point Lookout to
above Piney Point and the st.
MaryS River. It is impossible for
him to be every place at once;
when he goes into st. Marys
River the dredgers dash from
Gone River to Cornfield Harbor
get a boat load Of oysters and
openly flaunt their speed in his
face by waiting for him to get in
hailing distance and then out
racing him across the Potomac.
The only solution for this Is
for Maryland and Virginia to
bury the hatchet and make laws
controlling this body Of water.
The Maryland laws are slowly
starving the oystermen Of their
State and fattening the Virginia
oystermen's pocketbooks.
Last Thursday night I saw
three boats dredging on the
Maryland side about so yards
off shore. Coming across the
river were three more. The po-
lice boat was tied UP at Porto
BeIlo, Md. in the st. Marys
River and Friday night I sighted
three boats anchored in the mid
die of the river watching to see
where the police boat was. If
the boat remained in the st.
Marys River they would dredge
Cornfield Harbor. If the boat
came down river they would
move into the st. MaryS River.
If this continues, the zero hour
for oysters of the Potomac as
well as the Chesapeake Bay has
arrived. INTERESTED.

you. New bathing beaches,
parks. golf courses and a hotel
are part Of the improvements
and program devised to make
st. Thomas, st. John and st.
Croix popular with travellers.
But we can do without these if
we can climb the slope back Of
st. Thomas to Louisenhoj and
gaze out over a glorious pano-
rama. The view includes green
mountain slopes and bays Of
turquoise and jade water.
It includes the island Of
Tobago and in the distance, the
Atlantic Ocean. The eye takes
in st. Thomas, with its towers
and red-tiled roofs: the harbor
and the Caribbean, st. John,
Tortola and numerous tiny
islands in their setting Of in
credibly beautiful water
islands that are no whit less
beautiful in close view than they
are from a distance.
st. Martin is the favorite of
many tourists, for it is an idylIic
spot, a mass of unspoiled beauty.
Hills and valleys, blue lagoons,
tropical verdure-all the bene-
fits that a rich, fertile soil can
yield you will find in st. Martin.
Saba is beautiful, too, and in
teresting as well. It is an ex-
tinct volcanic pinnacle thrust up
from the bed Of the Caribbean.

Lesser Antilles.
And we don't blame them,
since there is no voyage Of such
short duration that offers more
beauty, more charm, more in

complete change from the sur
roundings Of a workaday exist
ence.
UNDER RULE OF BEAUTY
The Leeward, the Windward
Islands-what happy memories
and scenes they invoke! A
curved green garland that
stretches southwest from Puerto
Rico to Martinique includes such
flowers Of beauty as the

United States and Britain; St.
Eustatius, Saba and a part of
st. Martin, owned by the Dutch;
the rest of st. Martin, Guade-
loupe, Martinique and st. Bar.
tholomew, under the French
flag, and Antigua, st. Kits,
Nevis, Dominica and Mont
serrat, belonging to Britain.
In the Windward group, so
named because it is nearer to
the trade winds than the Lee
ward, there are Santa Lucia,
st. Vincent, Grenada, Barbados
and the Grenadines, all belong
ing to Britain. But who bothers
about possessions or flag? All
the islands are under the benefi-
cent rule Of beauty, charm and
peace!

Of a dictator who would inflict
upon them more cruel tortures
than the Middle Ages ever knew.
It would be wise if the Arabs
would recall all the assistance
they have accepted from their
neighbors and modern improve
mentS and economical advan-
tages they have enjoyed since
the Jewish colonization.
While every country was I'm
dergoing depression periods,
Palestine was the only country
that was enjoying a boom. The
enthusiasm and idealism Of the
Jewish youth turned a desert
into a flourishing community.
A few paid hoodlumS have
been able to blind the Arabs to
these facts and make them shed
their blood and the blood Of
those who have brought them q
life of prosperity they never
dreamed Of. For what are they
really fighting and dyingP
They receive higher prices for
mountain and deserts lands:
they benefit more by every new

leader will stand up and end the
bloody massacres and restore
the former true friendship be-
tween Arabs and Jews.

claim his virtues upon the

FBI DisOWns Victim
Of Ride, Beating

NEW YORK, Aug. Is G.N.SO
Police today were investigating the
mysterious beating and robbing of
a ride" victim after his story that
he formerly had been a Oman
was branded false by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
The man, who identified him
self as Jack Nasow, As, is in a
critical condition at Israel Zion
Hospital, Brooklyn, suffering from
a possible fractured skull and a
stab wound in the chest.
Dumped from a car in Brooklyn,
early today, he staggered to a gaso-
line station where he collapsed.
Nasow said he was robbed of
$3.50 and a briefcase containing
photo copies of papers and docu-
ments. The papers, he said, were
being used in a criminal investi-
cation.

Market Is Irregular in
Dull Trading
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Aug. 25 GN.S)
The stock market displayed q
tendency to drift in the forenoon
dealings today. Trading was quiet
Prices moved irregularly lower
in the early dealings, after which
the list moved upward under
leadership of the motor shares
This met scattered selling, and
the market turned irregular again
AUTOS TAPER OFF
The auto list was active at the
start, General Motors opening on
1000 shares. On their rise, ChryS'
Ter was up nearly a point and Gen
eral Motors fractionally. They ia,
pered off later.
The steel shares were off frac.
tionally for a while and then sub.
stituted equally small gains. They
turned irregular toward midday.
OILS SUFFER
Most of the oil shares suffered
small losses. The utility list
firmed up after a mixed start.
Most of the rails were quiet
though Union Pacific rose nearly
a point.
Merchandising shares strength
ened, Macy advancing a point.
Dupont rose a point in the chem
icals and Union Carbide lost nearly
as much. Some Of the copperS
were inclined to sag. Owens Glass
fell nearly two points. Elsewhere
the trend was irregular.
