Victory for Common Sense

The Commissioners have shown their
common sense in deciding to seek repeal of
the Outmoded ban on all housing located in
alleys. The purpose of the 1914 restriction was
a good one. In those days nobody dreamed that
the time would come that respectable people
would desire to live in rehablitated alley
houses. An alley dwelling then was considered
unhealthful and a breeder of crime. Today's
restored alley houses are attractive equipped
with the latest conveniences and occupied by
ernmental officials.
District authorities had considered lifting
the ban as far as houses already improved we're
concerned, but applying it strictly against any
further renovation plans But Corporation
Counsel West expressed the opinion that such
action would be inconsistent, discriminatory
and probably unconstitutional In fact he held
that any restriction based solely on width of
the street on which the house is located would
be invalid. The Alley Dwelling Act defined an
alley as ANY court, thoroughfare or passage,
private or public, less than 80 feet wide at any
point"
habitation, wherever located, should be con-
demned by the city. That is being done under
health and safety laws. These laws need to be
strengthened, as proposed in bills pending be-
fore Congress- 1t is wrong, however, to con-
denim a dwelling that has been modernized
and made attractive, merely because it hap
pens to front on court less than 80 feet
wide. Repeal of the old ban, which, inciden-
tally, never has been enforced, is fully JUS
titled.

Representative Clare E. Hoffman of

"An attempt to determine what the

to the cries of those who object to his
efforts. From the noise that has been

Interns at General Hospital

I was particularly interested in DR..
Forest Harris letter on interns at D. C..
General Hospital, having undergone
identical treatment at the same insti-
tuition few years back.
Sadly, conditions have not improved.
His report brings back many memories.
At that time, as well as at this time,
nobody paid or will pay attention to
the plea.
When was interning, and many
other interns were charged $25 monthly
for the privilege of working at CAL
linger. In addition to that. our salary
was attached under the grounds that
two Government salaries were illegal.
(We were in the armed forces.)

You Can Relax

ADu NdH AketdA
Take it easy. Relax Don't be
nervous. How often people say those
words, and they only tend to make
us more nervous. You know that
you would feel better if you could
relax But you can't take it easy
just by gritting your teeth and say
ing you will.
You can relax, but not if you try
too hard If you try too hard to do
anything, you can't do your best.
For example, you may practice a
speech in the quiet of your home
and it comes out easily, but when
you stand up in front of the audience
grimly determined to make a good
impression your mind may 60 blank.
What propably happens is that you
clench your fists, wrinkle your brow,
and grit your teeth. The nerve mes
sages received in the brain from
those tense muscles signal danger
as if you were facing a pack
of raging lions with you back to the
wall. SO, too much effort jams the
mechanism.
Perhaps you can't help being anx-
ious about that speech, or whatever
is the particular troublemaker that
causes your tension. But you can
learn to control some of the key
muscles that, by working too hard,
burn up energy and cut down eff
ficiency.
The first step is to recognize ten
sion. Is your forehead wrinkled
right now? That is a sign of ten
sion. If it is, tense the muscles even
more Then stop. You will notice
that the muscles relax and will con-
ttnue to relax automatically if they
are not interfered with.
Once you have learned to recog-
nize tension in your muscles, you
can do something about it. You can
practice relaxation until it becomes
easy. Find few minutes in the day
when you can sit or lie down in a
comfortable position. Check the key
tension points: forehead, abdomen,
jaw, and hands Tighten the mus
cles of each and then let go, all the
way.
An expert who has taught relax
alton to Air Force pilots reminds us
that life is not a 100-yard dash, but
more like a cross-country run. If
we try to sprint all the time, we
won't last long enough to cross the
finish line
