LONDON. Feb - The English press

that professional men are too old al 40.
Everybody worth quoting has been con
suited in regard to this statement with
the result that all interpret the we'll known
professors remark as a joke.
Sir Frederick Treves. who il the leader
of British medical men, entirely disagrees
with Dr. Oslers theory. He says that de-
generation. does not begin at 40 in a man
who has taken ordinary care Of himself
and refrained from dangerous habits
Many men are at their best at so In America,
where life is more hurried DR.. Treves says.
men doubtless age earlier than in England
but it is impossible 10 generalize. Sir Fed
erick says he is confident that DR. O.ler
was joking.
Sir Oliver Lodge believes that the utili-
zation OF wise experience, and the latest
knowledge should insure the preserya-
ton OF health and activity until men are
nearly hundred years old
Prof Lodge considers that England
should await the result OF the experiment
of the exchange of university professors
between Germany and America before

exchange Of students, plan which is now
