object to olive oil is no doubt because
they have been served with an inferior

AGE IN AMERICA

Dr. Samuel G. Tracy. founder OF Tho
Health and Longevity Club of New
York. has gathered statistics showing
that tho chances OF living to be ono
hundred years old In the United States
are greater than in any OF tho Euro
pean countries. save Bulgaria In that
country almost one person in one
thousand lives to the century mark.
Dr. Tracy estimates that the average
American has one chance in $4,000 to
live one hundred years This is n
rather startling declaration. There are
few communities OF $4,000 that contain
a eentenarian. DR. Tracy says that
there Is enc ccntenarian in Germany TO
every 100000 Inhabitants; in Eng
land there is one to every $4,000. in
France one to every $4,000 people
According TO this same writcr the
number of years man lives is not so
important as tho period at which old
age begins. He thinks that this period
should not bcuntil eighty or beyond. If
proper observance of the rules OF health
ana careful use OF the means of
preserving vitality were the rule, more
people who do not start in life with
serious physical defects would length
en- the iimc when old age begins far
beyond tho present average.

miliar with. az it's principles are at
the basis OF our daily life and com
monest dealings and intercourse: but
as a profession it is clearly overcrowd-
ed, and II would DC the part OF wisdom
if fewer limbs OF the law were turned
out yearly with a view to making a
life business of It."
Why is the profession ovcrcrowded7
The answer Is as plain as day Ad-
mission to tho bar is far TOO easy. The
bar examinations arc not rigid enough;
the educational preparation previous to
the study of law is too little. Some
States have very severe entrance re-
quircments. such as New York and
Massachusetts. while in other States
1t IS vcry. easy to no admitted to the
bar In Indiana any man can practice
law, regardless Of whether no has ever
seen a law book or not. Until year
ago men who failed miscrably in the
freshman classes of colleges were ad-
mittcd to tho practice OF law by the
Supreme Court OF South Carolina
If tho bar examinations were modelled
on the theory that minority of appll-
cantS ana not majority should be
admitted to the profession. the law
would be less crowded and would be
composed of better lawyers. No law

Yes, the times arc hard for the law
yers. and more than hard for the young
lawyer, whose chief asset is coura &c,
and whose only surplus is hope. Many
OF these young men. who were potcn-
