FROM WOMAPS
POINT OF VIEW

one Of two things has happened-either
employers have suddenly come to
realization of the value of workers vino
have years Of experience to their credit
or elderly men and women have shed
their shells and are giving their young
rivals a race that Is worth while. On ali
sides We are seeing workers, who. = few
years ago. would have been laid aside To
make way for youth. Probably the care
lessness and ignorance OF youth have
been expensive propositions 70 those who
depended upon them, FOR there is a reac-
tion in favor Of older persons.
The most notable example is found in
the choice OF a man of eighty-fve years
e head a large and important manu-
featuring company. The man is young
in every way save years. and his value
lies in his experience. ability. and love
for work. Many preventives TO old age
have been offered from time to time. but

may not keep age at bay, as its exponent
promises. for il is wholesome. but 70 ior-
get that there is such a thing as old age
with its Hfirmities is the only true
method Of retaining youth.
The worst feature Of old age is the
growing tendency to be indoIent. to avoid
new and improved methods. and stick
TO the things one likes through long as
sociation. All that means a rut so deep
that falling IN means remaining there or
