Ihe Crime Of GROWING, old.

In this vigorous. youthful country OF
ours it is q crime to grow old. In every
other country but ours there Is a great
reverence for age.
The Orient. Notwithstanding Its pagan
Ism, is paradise for the aged.
In Germany the respect paid to the aged
is one OF the most beautiful things one
sees. The front seats at the operas, con-
certz and all places Of amusement are re-
served for elderly persons In all profess
sions the older heads are trusted, and,
long after they are eligible for retirement
they are retained in the height positions.
1t Is with deep regret that they are al
lowed to retire even when they do so vol
unfairly. They are not arraigned and
treated as II they We're criminals the mo-
