Inmate of English Infirmary En-
tiers Her Hundredth Year.
Happy, Active Old Lady Says Secret
Is TO Just Keep on Living
Hugely Enjoys Sunshine
and Fresh Air.

London.-There have been scenes |
of subdued revelry at Crowdon inf1rm-
airy recently, for Mrs. Harriet Bolton,
one of the inmates, entered on her
hundredth year and the nurse gave a
party in her ward In honor of the
EVENT.
All the staff seem to feel that she
has conferred fame and honor on the
union by spending the long evening of
her days there, and a reporter who
called to see her was told by the smil-
ing matron: Certainly you can see
Granny She's in No. ward, up
stairs"
But when the fine days come no
ward can hold this active, happy old
woman, and she was found basking
in the sun on the bridge corridor that
Joins two blocks of the infirmary.
Tell you how to live to be a hun
dred?" she replied to the first ques-
ton. .Why, the chief thing is just to
go on living. That's how I've done it.
l never had to work too hard. and
always liked sunshine, fresh air. and
plenty of company.
81 was a girl of five when Waterloo
was fought l can remember my
mothers two brothers going of to the
wars, and l remember how l wanted
TO go with them"
The old womans pride seems to be
her son. She would talk of little but
her .boy"-a boy of about 73-of how
we'll he was doing. and of how she
would like him to come and see her
"As for grandchildren and great-grand
children, don't know how many I've
got" she said. II only know that wheI
we all gathered together at my son'i
last Christmas twelvemonth the room
was crowded with them-more thar
/ could count"
Deafness is almost the old woman'i
only defect. She still reads withou
glasses, being a constant student o
her Bible and. taking an interest II
newspapers. AS the uncrowned queer
of the infirmary she is granted som
little indulgences by the devote,
staff. It Is, perhaps, the best test
mony to her well being that she
still able to have strong opinions O
the subject of food. And If you as
her what most impressed her at tn
birthday party she will talk in glow
ing terms of the rum punch the nurse
brewed in her honor.
She was born in Brockham, nea
Dorking, in 1910, but has lived
Croydon for the last 20 years.

Des Molnes, Ia, April 1.-Constitu-
tional prohibition for Iowa, was post
poned. if not defeated, permanently
for two years, by the action OF the
senate yesterday afternoon in voting
down a motion to take up the ques-
ton. The vote stood &c against to q
for. The prohibltionists admit their
defeat and declare mere is no hope
OF reyiying the matter during the 10
remaining days OF the session OF the
Iowa legislature. Yesterdays action
followed that OF the committee on
constitutional amendments in imam
mously tabling the resolution and
thus refusing to report it to the SEN

sition to constitutional prohibition in
basing its claim upon the proposition
that the people could vote for con
stltutional convention under the laws
of the state at the next annual elec-
ton and thus secure constitutional
prohibition, was merely subter-
fuge The action of the senate, how
ever. was due largely to the fact that
under the constitution of Iowa, the
question of revision of the constitu-
tion must be submitted to the people
once in 10 years The question OF
revision may be placed upon the bal
lot in November. 1911, and it was
constantly argued that the people
would have eventually a chance TO
elect delegates to a constitutional
convention favorable to prohibition
ii they decided to revise the constitu-
ton.
The agitation for a prohibitory
amendment started with the opening
of the session of the legislature and
the resolution calling for the same
passed the house by large major
ity.
During the debate in the Legislature
upon the resolution representatives
of the national prohibition league, OF
civic bodies in the state and from
various church organizations have
been heard on one side of the ques-
ton or the other. The prohibitions
lists made the threat recently that
they would carry the subject to the
voters before the polls in the next
campaign and indications point that
