SUREST TEST OF OLD AGE
Don't Look at Your Face for the Signs
Of Times March-Watch
the Heart.

The dear little old lady was Just
as cross as she could be!
All because the old-fashioned con.
ductor had said: BE careful. Watch
out, grandma. Don't get off the car
till 1t stops"
1t was probably the first time that
from the lips of q stranger came the
verdict that the world had begun to
look upon her as an old lady.
She must have known that her
shoulders were bit stooped-but old I?
No, not just in the Pf me of lie, and
The very idea Of that man calling out:
Watch out, grandma"
But after all, what matters what the
conductor said? There is a rumor OF
inner consciousness that should tell
one If one is growing old.
Don't look at your face to see If
age Is creeping on. Watch the heart.
Beware Of allowing care to make
crows' feet there
Oliver Wendell Holmes summed uI
the philosophy of life when he said:
Il am seventy years young today
Every birthday should see ones heart
younger. The only way to keep from
growing old Is to keep growing young.
The only time to begin growing young
ls before one begins to grow old.
There are mental attitudes and limp
ing worse than those of a faltering
foot There are aches and pains
caused by selfishness and narrowness
much worse than those of rheumatism.
Begin this moment to grow young.

DETERMINATION OF :.
4, .. j.. WHITE SLAVERY

The United States government
has taken an important part in the
attack on white slavery by enforc-
ing its power in interstate relations.
The department of justice in
prose, uting and furnishing wretches
conducting the traffic in unfortur-
ate girls and women as far as their
transportation from one state to
another is concerned has done
much to stamp this nefarious COM
merce out of existence. But its
power is limited, it cannot sail this
monstrous thing at its source.
This must be left to state jurisdic-
ton. Nor could it very we'll do
anything for the uBfortunates
rescued in transit, without utterly
overlapping the function to which
the government necessarily confines
itself
An important supplementary
move. aent, and ct one of the most
vital sort, has been started in con,
nection with the legal operations
of the government, but a move
ment conducted on private
foundation. This noble enterprise
originated in Washington as the
result of observation of the limits
of government power in the
practical outcome of its action as
far as caring for the wretched
waits and derelicts is concerned.
This proposes the esta olishmrn,

victims of an atroclnus business
can be sheltered until some self
suppo citing sphere can be opened 10
them, and where all the influences
of the environment will act in a
fashion to redeem them from toe
horrors of shame and degradation.
To punish the Wickedness which in
its procedure has violated a United
States statute is one thing. 1t is
of equal Importance to save the
victim as to punish the criminal.

Salem, Mass. February 27.-William A.
today of the murder of George +. Marsh
of Lynn. The jury was out two hours.
The prisoner, when the court was about
to charge the jury. rose from his seat in
his steel cage, and in a voice quiverins
cried out: Il have just a few words |

The body of Marsh, who was Il years
old, was found in the marshes near the
boulevard in Lynn, April II. 1912. He had
been shot. Suspicion first fell on Dorr
when he returned to his home in Stock
ton, Cal, after a hurried visit in the
east.
1t was found he had masaueraded in
Lynn as Willis A. Dow and so made
the acquaintance of Marsh The latter
was not seen alive after he got into
an automobile for a ride with Dorr the
afternoon of April II last.
In summing up District Attorney Anvil
said that the death of Marsh was a
who believed that with Marsh dead he
would profit by a legacy which would
revert to his aunt.
Dorr heard the verdict in the first de-
gree with little display OF emotion. His
face paled slightly, the muscles of his
Jaws frightened and his hands gripped the
bar in front of the prisoners cage. Then
he sat down and after that appeared un-
concerned.

The Birmingham members of the I'm

day that the mana cement of the st.
James hotel of Baltimore, had entered
suit against Senator Bankhead for the
recovery of s1273, smiled cynicaly.
They were already aware of the fact
that whereas the club had contracted to
spend with the Eutaw hotel the sum
of 5000. IL did spend with the ST. James
only $4,000, but they did not believe that
the manager of the most antiquated hotel
in Maryland, fully cognizant of the fact
that his accommodations would not have
been endured save for the patriotism of
his guests to their candidate, would have
The marvellous effrontery sufficiently de-
yeloped to go to court with his plant.
The mombers, therefore, smiled They
remembered the hotel. how it looked,
the peculiar aroma of foul air and lime

remembered how they were tossed
upon cots and told to sleep; how there
was no running water in single one
of the rooms; how 1t was impossible
for the men to permit their wives to
suffer in the same Joint" and how
none of them. save in the moments OF
emergency, underwent the agony of
attempting to consume meal in the

facts which provoked the cynical
smiles.

an early hour this evening. as the ma

or general deficiency bills today and a

that it would be possible to complete all
