Los Angeles.-The founder of the
Borrowed Time club of Oak Park, a
suburb of Chicago, Philander W. Bar
clay, is In Los Angeles. His idea in
starting the club, which was to bring
a little more radiance into the life of
men past three-score years and ten,
was an innovation and has been
copied in many places.
Mr.. Barclay is living with his sister
at the Pierce apartm snts for few
weeks, and already he has stirred up
sufficient interest among men of Los
Angeles to start one of the unique
clubs in which none but those more
than seventy may belong. He is not,
himself, an aged man, but a young one
who took his tip from the converse
lions of men around the stoves of the
grocery stores, in the little shops and
wherever they congregated. These
men were interesting because often.
times they threw new light on sub
jects of history, on the lives Of IA.
nous men or on old celebrities of a
local character" said Mr.. Barclay.
"As a rule they seemed to have no
place to go and were seldom welcome
to the places they went. 1t gave me
the idea that if I could find them a
place to meet, give them an oppor-
tunity Of getting together among
themselves, they might be made hap
pier"

10 the United States from the
new republic OF China is a matter
OF satisfaction and interest to Wash
ington. Doctor WI has twice be-
fore this represented his govern

probably the best-known Chlnaman In
this country. While there is no off,

Before the recent change Of govern

bent, but owing to the exigencies OF
politics, the transfer was delayed un-

the logical man for the place. On his
last visit to Washington he announced
that be would return again, as he In

mark.
During one OF his former soiourns
in Washington he became interested
in the work of Mrs. Henderson, wife
of former Senator John b. Henderson
OF Missouri, and with her promulgated
the doctrine of vegetarlanism and to
tai abstinence from alcoholic liquors
He insists that by living on a diet
which he describes for himself any
enc may live to any age he desires.
When Doctor WI was last in Wash
ington he was as curious and active
as at any time, but signs of age had
appeared in his slightly bent figure
and especially in the gray hair which
formed good share Of his queue. A
gray-haired Chinaman is not a com
mon sight in this country. This may
be because emigration is confined tC
the young, or If gray hair does moi
flourish In the Orient, 1t may be that
