THE YOUTH OF AGE
Holding flaming youth to blame for the follies of our
present day is quite the rage, but there are those who are
coming to believe that this aforesaid flaming youth is but
a feeble flicker compared with the gorgeous fire-works
staged by red-hot age. Never since those days when
Mother Eve, old enough to know better, tempted Adam
in the Garden of Eden has age disported itself with so
much abandon as it does today. In by-gone generations,
senesence men of 45 were wont to sing to sweet, elderly
women of 40, “Darling, I Am Growing Old.” But no more.
No indeed! Today the sheik of 45 sings to the flapper of
40, “Yes, Sir, That’s My Baby.” When the silver threads
begin to appear among the gold, the present day woman
gets her hair bobbed, her face lifted, and makes her debut
as a red-hot mamma.
Flaming youth, indeed! Today it is age that sizzles,
crackles and burns. It isn’t youth that supports our jazz
dances and gin mills so much as it is the men and women
in the roaring forties, the fatuous fifties, and the naughty
sixties. Grandmas are the life of the party; grandfather
ers are the wickedest thing about the place, and we don’t
mean maybe. Who gets tangled up in the divorce courts
and the heart balm cases ? Why, the bold-headed, white
haired daddies. Who wTear short skirts, roll their stock
ings, and buy the most lipstick and rouge? All girls
under 80.
Flaming youth, nothing! It’s flaming age we must
take to task about the excesses of our modern life.
BUT IT DIDN’T WORK
The U. S. circuit court of appeals has ruled that Ger
ald Chapman must hang. He cannot escape the penalty
of pleading he has a right to serve his term in Atlanta
prison.
_———- ft
Federal government employes are “loafers, time-kill
ers, and buck-passers,” according to an Ohio congressman,
who is apparently peeved about something. What else
does the gentleman expect? The great bulk of govern
ment employes are the products o f politics and
rather tolerant to them, are the products of politics and
the plaything of politicians. And the servant has never
been known to differ much from his master.
“WTon’t be long now before the weather will be warm
enough to leave off a couple of pairs of socks,” predicts
the Fairbanks editor. Gee! there was a time when an In
terior editor owning two pair of socks would wear them
the year ’round from pure pride. Things must be pick
ing up.
Too many criminals escape punishment, not by de
nying guilt, but by raising some technicality in which the
plain rights and wrongs of the case are lost sight of. It
is encouraging to read of one case where it didn’t work.
The fishing season is on! Evidently the cat-fish pro
duced a litter of kittens in the ocean last night judging
from the commotion emanating from the deep blue; rem
nants of the storm smote Seward thruout the entire night.
Six expeditions are starting for the North Pole this
spring. The last one to arrive will probably find a sign
reading, “No Picnicking allowed!”
The California girl who refused to wear clothes and
adjudged insane, was just about one generation ahead of
her time.
David said all men are liars—and David lied when he
said it.
Even a deaf and dumb criminal is entitled to hearing. j
There’s a lot of interest nowadays snorts a Seward
news dealer, in the six best cellars.
It will soon be time to cut the children out of their
winter underwear.
“Oh Teacher”—will be at the Liberty tonight which
spells Juvenile comedy and should be good to look at.
