CUTTING STEAMER CHANNEL
IN ICE-LOCKED HUDSON
River So Tightly Frozen That Tugs
Cannot Eeach Rockland
Lake
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2s.-For the first
time in many years the Hudson river
is so tightly icebound that powerful
tugs are unable to force their way up
to Rockland lake, where are located
the great icehouses which supply this
city. All other measures falling, the
company owning the storehouses has a
large gang of men engaged in the stu
pendous task of cutting channel
through the ice from off Hastings,
which now marks the head of naviga-
ton, to Rockland lake, a distance of
over ten miles. The channel is being
made 100 feet wide, through ice which
is two feet and more thick. Tugs
steam up and down the channel night
and day to keep 1t from freezing over
again.
Two hundred men are at work and
it is expected that the channel will be
cut to Rockland lake at the end of
the week. The men are aided in their
work by tug designed for break

standing still in the progress of this

declining and intellect may be fully

"off His Base"
"I think Osler is off his base," an
the fire with which the Methodist min
lister is accredited. IT'S nonsense
just nonsense. Why, never felt bet
ter in all my life and 1 never did such
good work as 1 am doing at the pres
ent time. There are very few scien-
tific men who would agree with any
such idea. You cannot make a dead
line to fit people. Some men are dead
at twenty, while the majority are be-
ginning to live at forty"
81 do not agree with the learned doc
tor at ALL" said Councilman Healy.
while America as we'll as the coun-
tries of the old world has produced
men who did great things before they
were forty, most Of the really great
men have not reached their prime at
that time. 1t Is also true that those
who were great before they were forty
were still more great at later periods
of their lives. Won Moltke was over
sixty when he achieved his greatest
success. Bismarck, Marshal MacMahoa
and Gladstone, the grand old man of
England, are examples of the rule that
disproves Osler's theory. No, I think
the doctor should revise his ideas.
Rev. Mr.. Days Answer
Rev. Warren F. Day answered a
question with another:
HAS any one ever written a book, or
preached a sermon, or sailed ship, or
constructed building, who was under
40 years of age? If so, then DR.. Osler
has his answer.
has ally OHe ever WIlllSil a DOohI VI
preached sermon, or sailed ship, or
constructed a building after he was
40 years old? If so, there is another
answer. / do not think that any one
can put forth such theory who has
considered the problem and weighed
both sides"
Councilman Kern declared he be-
lieves a man is just reaching his best
years when he is 40
"At that time of life he should have
both theory and practice; and how
ever much theory man may have he
cannot be a success until he has par
ticipated in the actual work of life" 4"
Others of the "white-haired boys"
as they declared themselves to be, said
they are willing to stick to the old
fashioned idea that "a man is as old
as he feels" Some of them declare
they are not yet out OF their teens.

RUSSIANS MUST LEAVE
Austrian Authorities Serve Notice or
Refugees and Deserters

BY Associated tresS
VIENNA, Feb. 2S.-The authorities
of the Austrian province of Bukowina,
close to the Russian frontier, have
ordered all the Russian refugees and
deserters, totaling about three thous-
and persons, to leave within six weeks
The reason for this action is that the
Russians are underbidding the Aus
trians in the labor market at a time
when many of the Austrians are out of
work. 1t is also alleged that most OF
the Russians are suffering from ira
choma.
The majority of the Russians came to
Bukowina during the last six months,
fleeing from the mobilization regula-
tions and other unwelcome regulations
in the nearby Russian districts.

The theory of DR.. Osler of Johns
hopkins university, in an address be-
bre the students a short time ago and
leralded throughout the country, has
lot been met with favor by the promi-
lent men of Los Angeles.
DR.. Osler's assertion that the telling
work of the world has been done and
Is being done by men under 40
years Of age is fatty contradicted by
men of affairs, and they affirm the
fallacy of the statement can be proved
easily.
Men in all lines of work scott at the
idea that a man Is ready to be retired
from active business life at the age of
50 years, and many declare that 1t Is
pnly then that sufficient experience has
been cleaned to make work count.
