GETTING THE BEST IN LIFE
To Be Able to Grow Old Gracefully
and With Proftils an Accomplish
ment Indeed.

On his s%eventy-ffth anniversary,
feeling fine and active, John Wanna
maker said
"There is one compensation for a
long life. 1t is possible to fill up
ones life so that the years Upon your
brow and the feelings in your heart
are not on speaking terms"
That is commonplace enough in
that it has been often said. But it
is a great truth and worth repeat
ing.
One Of the triumphs Of the last
talf-ccntury has been the gradual
conqucring of age. Despite the ten
dency Of rush and hurry, it is still
true that men are no longer old at
the age which was held to be old
half a century ago.
The thing that makes age depior-
able is the lack OF human interest
A mans years mean nothing so long
as he is still vitality concerned in life,
interested in the days work, in the
common problem of humanity, and
participates mentally at least in the
movements of his time.
The man whose mind and heart do
not share in the common inheri-
tances of humanity is old at any
age, for he is not living.
To bring to old age the vital en-
thusiasm of youth, mellowed and
glorifed and substantiated by the
experience of years, and subdued but
not chastened or defeated by the wis
dom and patience and tolerance of
calmer days, is to know the best of
fife, a vigor hat is not volatile, and
a serenity that is not dull.

1t is still the fashion to speak

Automatic cut-oH.

One of the most ingenious of recent
inventions is a simple device to pre-
vent steamship propellers from rae
ing" when there is a heavy sea rum
ming. If the waves run high and the
ship losses the propellers often are
entirely out of water when the ships
nose is down, and consequently the en-
gines race wildly. The old remedy for
this condition was to have an engineer
turn off the steam just as the propel-
lers were rising out of the water. and
turn the steam on again as the propel-
lers returned to the sea. \The new in
vention consists Of little tube partial
ly filled with mercury that flows back
and forth with the tossing of the ship.
This tHbe can be so adjusted that 1t
will turn the steam off just as the yes
sci kicks her propellers in the air,
and turn II on again when they are
due to strike the water.
