WHY GROW OLD?
NoWonder
We Are
So Soft
By JOSEPHINE BOWMAN


Register and Tribune Syndicate
Inventors, researchers and
manufacturers have outdone
themselves to make life con-
venient and easy for us. AL
most every day some new
idea or plan or design or
commodity, which adds to
our comfort and leisure, ar
rives on the market. Much
of the drudgery has been
taken out of homework and
paperwork.
Add the miracle Of modern
transportation to this. Add
to that the family car, or
cars, and you may get a
glimpse Of why America is
becoming soft physically.
While the Uuited States is
sports minded it is in danger
Of changing more and more
toward being spectator
sports-minded. Thousands Of
men who once played golf on
week ends now watch the
sports on television.
Need Exercise
There is more and more
evidence that we need eXer-
else all through our lives,
that the sedentary life is an
early ager and that more
people die from lack of phys
ical activity than because Of
it. Naturally the exercise
should be suited to the age
and condition of the individ-
ual.
The worst thing of all is
that so many of our young
people are growing up lack
ing the physical stamina OF
their forebears in spite of
all the medical progress
which has been made.
Children and teen-agers
fall heir to less physical activ-
ity in their everyday lives
today. They used to walk to
school, walk on errands and
even walk on dates.
Now a young man has q
difficult time getting a date
If he doesn't have a car; chill
dren are carted about every
where by their parents, and
teen-agers spend a lot Of time
dashing from place to place
in their cars or sitting in
front of a television set.
Small Ways
OF course, it would be i'm
possible to suddenly change
the situation in any home, but
in many small ways you can
encourage exercise.
You can insist that the
car Is not always used for
every motion of life and per-
haps even interest your
young people in physical fit
ness.
You can try to stimulate an
interest in active sports. A
ping pong table or a badmin-
ton court at home would help.
AS for your self, for any
number Of reasons it may be
impossible for you to play golf
every day. but you CAN take
a few exercises at home and
work in at least two Is
minute walks into your busy
day. The exercise is just as
beneficial even when walking
on your porch or up and
down the block.

Safe and Sane
Fourth Of July
By JOSEPH B. BYRNES
ReoI Estata Editor af Tia StoS

For years traffic statiSti-
clans have been hammerlng
away at the perils of traffic
fatalities over traditional
holidays such as the Fourth
of July. At least their mes
sage apparently is beginning
to sink in.
Much credit for the change,
oddly enough, is due to our
higher standard of living. Al
though more people own vaca-
tion homes many more belong
to nearby private clubs, have
their own swimming pools
or patios and gardens they
wish to enjoy.
The statisticians can point
with horror at the ever in
creasing traffic toll, but they
also will admit, reluctantly,
that there are more people.
When pinned down they will
concede the ratio is growing
smaller in recent years.
This is because of people
like Kenneth Cobb, an acous-
tical and lighting engineer,
and his attractive wife. Mrs.
Cobb settled the issue this
year when the family toyed

with the idea Of visiting rel
atlves over the Fourth of
July in New York State.
"I just couldn't survive
the idea Of all that traffic"
Mrs. Cobb said. II asked my
husband and the children
if they would mind staying
home. All agreed and we de-
cided to have some friends
over for a shiskabab party"
81 think we have more fun
and save all that wear and
tear on the nerves." Mrs.
Cobb assented.
Mr.. Cobb's work has an
added touch of satisfaction.
that few of us enjoy. When
some 250,000 persons or
more watch the fireworks
each year at the Monument
Grounds they may not real
ize it but they are looking
at an example of his genius.

He added that he is recon-
mending a creel limit of less
than five fish on all small i'm
poundments. At present anglers
are allowed to take up to 10
except in State-owned ponds,
where the limit is five.
Barry said that in larger
lakes-those over 126 acres
there is little danger of catch
ing all of the 5-pound fish" +"
He said only about 7 per cent
of the Loeb Raven Reservoir
bass, which are heavily fished
for, are being caught. Returns
from other large Maryland in
land reservoirs show the same
low catch rates.
Barry said studies show the
best bass fishing in lakes and
ponds occurs during the
months of March, April and
May with the highest catch
returns-depending on favora-
BILE weather conditionS-occur-
ring from April 10 to May 10.
Fishing improves again in Oc-
tober and November.

Maryland Issues
Elaborate Guide
For Boot Owners

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. l (AP).-
The Tidewater Fisheries De-
partment has prepared a COM
prehensive marine atlas for
boatme en- using Maryland
waters of the Chesapeake Bay
and its tributaries.
Called Cruising Guide for
Maryland Waters" the 48-page
book contains 20 charts in four
colors reproduced from charts
of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey.
These show the location of
marine facilities and launch
ing ramps throughout the tide
water area, magnetic courses
and distances in nautical miles
between buoys, and county
maps which show highways by
route number for the benefit
of trailer boatmen.
Maryland's Atlantic ocean,

line.
"Secret Weapon" Fails
Finally, this writer had a
strike and a hard one. The
bobber went under viciouSly
and we struck back, only to
pull in a limp line. Whatever
hit the bait had sheared the
!monofilament.
Next day. we tried again, this
time with Capt. Ray Parker on
his charter boat. Evelyn Cree.
Ray had a day off and a
secret weapon" for tarpon.
This turned out to be a live
eel and he rigged it carefully,
then let it out slowly in the
tidal current. Before the bait
was fully out, however, some
thing hit it and tore off at
such speed it burned the cap
tain's thumb and finally broke
his line.
Whatever it was, we're still
without our tarpon.

Washington tennis has many

Team matches have the
added advantage of being COM

the wear and tear of several

provide incentive and yet the

make defeat seem a catas-

striped pigfish, hooking it

the same with the croaker.
Tarpon Breaks Line
Hooks were 80 mustads.
Both George and Charles, jr.,
used conventional, boat rods
with spinning tackle and 25-
pound test monofilament. Bob
bers were used about 3 feet
from the hooks to keep the
bait out of the sea lettuce near
bottom.
Then we sat back to wait. 1t
wasn't long in coming. Charles,
jr., got a good strike on his
pigfish and a tarpon made a
mighty leap. AS it came down,
though, the line went slack.
The drag had been set too
tightly and the 45-pound test
dacron broke Just above the
