FORGET BIRTHDAYS AND LIVE LONG
Would you like to keep young? Then for
get your birthdays and keep working.
Chauncey Depew was 92 years old the
other day, April 23, and after that he gave
the following as his views on working
“I consider that my best and most import
ant work was performed between the ages
of 75 and 90. Most of the active men I know
who have died did so after they had quit
working. It is much worse to rust away
than to drop away.”
Depew thinks it unfortunate that su
preme court justices in New York state
have to retire when they are 70.
“Often they are at the height of their use
fulness at that age,” said Depew. “Take
the example of Justice Oliver Wendell Hol
mes of the United States supreme court. He
is 85 and probably more active than any oth
er justice on the supreme court bench, with
the possible exception of Chief Justice Wm.
H. Taft.” ^
Depew is right. It is in the looking for
ward, they having something to do on the
morrow, the hopes and dreams of the fu
ture that we live best.
The recent death of Henry Holt, famed
New York publisher, at the age of 86, re
calls his famous apothegm concerning
whiskey, uttered on his 80th birthday: “Any
young man who drinks whiskey is a fool and
any old man who doesn’t is another.” He
failed to state just where he drew the line,
but keeping away from liquor until the age
of 80 would probably be a fairly good rule.
FIFTY YEARS OF FORESTRY
An editorial in The Washington Post for
February 9 says: “This year marks the
Semicentenial of the creation of The Unit
ed States Forest Service. It was in 1876
that the Commissioner of Agriculture, at
the suggestion of the Association for the
Advancement of Science, appointed Dr.
Franklin B. Hough to make a thorough in
vestigation into the forest situation- Out
of this investigation grew the bureau of for
estry, and thru the work of that bureau mil
lions of acres of timberland have been pre
served: forest reserves have been created,
and great strides have been made towards
the education of th people to the need of
conservation of the timber resources. In
celebration of the semicentenial of the
awakening to the conditions which confront
the country in the matter of timber supply.
The American Tree Association is prepared
to distribute, gratis, 200,000 Forestry Prim
ers in hope that the study of these pamph
lets will induce the American People to
look ahead for 50 years, for if they refuse to
do this, Uncle Sam will have to do some look
ing outside his own territory for his wood
supply.
Averaging about 160 miles an hour, or
two and two-thirds miles a minute, a mail
airplane covered the 726 miles between Chi
cago and New York in 4 hours and 35 min
utes actual flying time. A few years ago
such a feat would have made big news; now
it is just a part of the day's work.
BOON TO FARM WOMEN
At the opening of a free electrics] expo
sition sponsored by the Birmingham News
recently, some facts were presented in an
address by M. H. Aylesworth. managing di
rector of the National Electric Light Asso
ciation, which are of particular interest to
farm women.
Mr. Ayiesworth declared that electricity
is relieving the women of America of much
of their former drudgery and that this bene
fit is rapidly being extended to the rural
districts whereby farm women will be en
abled to retain their youth and health, in
stead of being broken down at an early age.
Stating that electrical washing machines,
vacuum cleaners and other home appliances
can be operated for three to five cents an
hour, he said: “The time has arrived when
our 'wives and mothers must no longer be
permitted to sell their time at coolie wages
! of three cents an hour, having to neglect the
j highest work entrusted to human beings.
; the work of motherhood.”
Among the notable advances which will
; be witnessed by the next generation, none
will be of greater benefit to humanity than
1 the emancipation of farm women from lives
i of drudgery, through the application of
electricity to the work of the home.
Students of the Ecole des Beax-Arts in
Paris recently became dissatisfied because
of the homeliness of the women, who rathe
school employed as models, so they put up a
ghastly trick. When an unusual:y unat
tractive lady posed for their sketching, each
student drew the picture of a camel and
turned it in to the instructor. Faculty and
the lady were mad.
In one of the latest issues of the liberty
Digest we see under the head of Topics in
Brief an article which concerns we Alas
kans; Alaskans reports roses in bloom.
Help! We may be standing at the brink of
another real-estate boom.

Grover Cleveland was eulogized at a big
memorial meeting held in New York on the
89th anniversary of his birth. Like Bryan.
Cleveland was thrice the Democratic can
didate for the presidency; but unlike Bryan,
he was elected twice
DUELLING OUT OF DATE
An unusual criminal case cropped out in
Cullman county, Alabama last month, when
a farmer of that country, charged with chal
lenging a neighbor to fight a duel, was con
victed and sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary.
This is just one more incident to illustrate
the change of sentiment with respect to
some time-honored institutions of earlier
days. It has not been so long ago. as the
history of nations is reckoned, that serious
disagreements between gentlemen demand
ed settlement upon te “field of honor.”
It is only necessary to recall the tragic
fate of Alexander Hamilton at the hands of
Aaron Burr, and the duels of Andrew Jack
son, in one of which he killed his man. to il
lustrate how~ the influence of the “code” ex
tended to national leaders in the first half
of the last century.
Happily, all formal recognition of duel
ling as a proper means of satisfying the de
mands of personal honor is now a thine of
the past, and although killings occur with
appalling frequency, they do not have the
sanction of society, except in self defense in
a case wherein one’s life is in imminent dan
ger.
A New York legislator refutes the story
of Nero’s fiddling while Rome burned by
reminding us that the violin was not in
vented until about fifteen centuries after
that big fire.
Yesterday is no longer yours; tomorrow
is a question mark; today is all you have to
work with.
Your first ad probably won’t set the world
afire, but it’ll start something.
The cheapest ingredient of good business
is the most profitable—courtesy.
