FEW CENTENARIANS.

OF the millions that lived in
Europe a century ago there are hun
dreds left but the number is CON-
paratively small. Spain has 40
centenarians, France 213, Italy 1877.
Austria-Hungary 113. Russia SO.
England SO. Germany 76. Norway
%, Sweden 10. Belgium and Den
mark but 2.
This shows you what chances you
have Of living to be one hundred
years old. While men are getting
old later than they used to, CEN
fury ago a man was old at 35 and a
woman at 80, and nowadays many a
man is young at 65. Yet of the L.
500, 100000 people on this earth to-
day probably all but one in every
10000 will have been claimed by
the grave a century hence.

HER OWN STORY.

With journalistic acumen which
does him credit, the editor of the Ma
tional Municipal Review has written
to Miss Virginia Brooks of Ham
mond and invited her to tell In the
pages of his magazine the story of
her picturesque fight at West Ham
mond says the Chicago Post. Much
has been written about 1t of course
but that much has emphasized the
breezy features of this interesting
career and made it very hard, usual
ly, to pick out the real thread. But
Miss Brooks own unsensational ae-
count is more interesting than most
of the things that have been written
about her.
What makes the story which has
appeared in these columns SO re-
freshing is, of course. the vigor and
directness revealed. These are en-
ticing qualities always, and especial
" attractive when they are display
ed against odds so Overwhelming.

BEvERIDGE RECANTs.

Former Senator Beveridge has cast
his lot in with the third party move
ment bag and baggage. Just where
it will land him of course no one can
predict until after the November
election.
The step taken by Beverage IS
Characteristic. We ali know how he
has praised President Taft We all
know how strong he was for Taft for
denomination. There was nothing
too good he could say about Taft yet
here we behold him DESERVING Taft
and deserving the republican party.
The republican party made Bev-
eridge what he is today. There is no
man in Indiana nor anywhere else
for that matter who owes so much
to the republican party as does Bev-
eridge. She gave everything to the
former senator and 1t was always his
brag and boast that the republican
party was dearer to him than any
other like institution. During the
last campaign the republican party
set Beverage on the high places and
fought great fight for him but he
went down to defeat. There is
seemingly no gratitude in Beyeridge

HOW TO USE YOUR EDUCATION.

Once upon time city that
needed additional railroad facilities,
startde to build free bridge.
After spending several million dol
lars on 1t their money ran out.
The bridge lacked only few feet
of completion. but 1T was allowed to
remain unfinished for many years.
1t was never of any real value. be-
cause it lacked those last few feet
Eventually the part that was con-
Istructed began to rust and rot, so
that even if completed 1t would never
be as good as it could have been.
There are many human lives that
ARE duplicates of this bridge.
Many a boy and girl gets a part of
an education and then professions, or
for commercial pursuits is what
|gives force and point to all the
schooling that precedes it. Service
lis life, and nothing counts until it is
reduced to terms of effort or accom-
Iplishment. To be educated without
being useful is to be a wart, a dead
weight, an encumbrance and a fake.
1t is only when learning has COM
pleted its approaching to service that
lit becomes worthy of honor
AS for being worthy of money
there is no use talking about that,
because there won't be any money
for such a person to be worthy Of
The only way he can get 1t is to in
herit or steal it does not make any
difference which, so far as service is
concerned
The way to make your education
count is to complete it up to the
point where you can use it. Nothing
is more foolish than facts without
ability. The encyclopedia has a
monopoly ON that, and no human
brain has yet been discovered thai
can successfully compete with it.
Build an APPROACH to your educa
ton. that Will }ead direct into the
world of service. Then. and onl,

$36,655.52.

The Gary Commercial club set out
to raise $4,000 for the Mercy hos
pital which is conducted by the Sis
ters of ST. Francis, third order.
Last night at the end of a six-day
campaign the committeeman who
dined at the Y NJ. c. A. gave in their
returns. Instead of 100000 being
attained that much and s6,655.o2
more was secured. The committee
worked hard, the people of Gary gave
generously. and the rest of the coun
ty helped out.
The whole affair exemplifies the
Gary spirit and the Commercial club
showed its usual energy. For a new
town $36,65552 was a great sum to
raise but Gary owes much to the
good sister who have labored un-
finchingly for the sick and poor OF
the steel city.

COKE PRODUCING.

The sixty-fiye coke ovens which
the Inland Steel company are TO
erect at its Indiana Harbor works
will be the most modern of their
kind in the world. They will be the
last work in by-product oven con-
struction.
This year when the United States
Steel corporation completed the last
of its $50 by-product ovens at cost
of $10.00o.000. they were the pre-
miers of the industry
The Harbor ovens will have a IS
IA ton capacity per charge as COM
pared with IL ga tons st Gary.
Harbor ovens will produce a charge
in sixteen hours which is one hour
less than at Gary and two hours less
than at the celebrated Joliet coke
ovens. The Harbor ovens will con
sumo 1900 tons of coal daily.
This district is getting to be a
coke producing center of consider
able Importance. There are now
ovens at Gary, Joliet and the big
Semet-Solvay plant at South Deer
ing, just west of Hammond. And, In
reckoning capacity 1t should be re-
membered that every one of these
ovens, which are of the by-product
type, produces Just eight times as
much as an ordinary Connellsville

The Evening Chit-Chat
BY RUTH CAMERON

IT have found that one of the best
ways to get children into the habit Of
doing the right thing. is to try 20
make the right course of least resist
ance. / suppose that sounds obvious,
but I know a great many mothers who
waste much energy because they do
not realize and practice that method"
So a woman who has been emin-
emily successful in the difficult pro-
fession of motherhood puts one OF the
secrets of her success.
And this is the way she explains and
illustrates her statesmen.
II used to have the children keep their
rubbers and overshoes upstairs in
their own closets, so that they would
not get them mixed. And all the time
I was bothered by finding them left all
over the house. 1t was always Bobby.
why didn't you take your rubbers up
stairs? or Eleanor this is the second
time this week that I've stumbled over
your overshoes.' Finally / decided TO
make it easier for them to be orderly,
and see If that wouldn't help them.
Father made a box for the rubbers of
the whole family with little COM
partment for each one Of US. and we
kent 1t in the back hail--now 1 almost
never have any trouble
Then, again, i always wanted the
children to put on aprons before they
came into the kitchen to do anything.
The girls had aprons of their own
which they kept upstairs. and the boys
were supposed to hunt up one OF mine.
Well, it seemed impossible to enforce
that rule. 1t was: oh. was only go-
ing to make a little paste and 1 didn't
want TO go way upstairs for my apron.
or oh, bother. mother, couldn't find
any of you old aprons So finally one
day after Eleanor had spilled a cup OF
milk down the front of her new dress

Gill, who brought four negroes to the
place have been threatened and both
have armed themselves in anticipation
of trouble. Each has received bundle

he must get rid of the negroes or take
the consequences. Farmers are sleep

hang their aprons on the hooks and

That's two examples. I could give
you a dozen more, but you see what I
mean. Instead of wearing yourself
out hammering at the children, trying
to get them to do something hard or
inconvenient. just study out how you
can make what you want them to do
more natural and easy--in other words
try to make the right course the
course OF least resistance"
Does this idea appeal to you az
goodq
1t certainly does to me.
And right in my own life. 1 have an
unconscious example OF it's efficacy.

dictionary given to me- During the

It is human nature TO follow the
course of least resistance. Much can
be accomplished In training ones chill
dren and ones self to overcome this
tendency. But much can also be &C
complished by making the right course
the course of least resistance.
Think and see II there is not some
obstacle or some unsatisfactory con-
dition in your household which might
be overcome with a consequent saving
of energy for you.
