The first shot was aimed at "A cub: the

she dropped dead. The cub also died.
The other cub ran away.

creeping toward us on one hand and
knee. Being a surgeon, he knew exactly
what ought to be done. We took care
of his wounds according to directions,

They cannot be classed a feeble minded,
but are simply mentally unfit to cope
with the conditions Of our present day
civilization.
"A large number OF them are what
may be termed casual workers, and as
they grow older they become less and
less efficient, until at 35 they lose con-
fidence in their ability to make living.
After 35 these men become less able
to adjust themselves to conditions and
people about them and are not at all
cordial to new ideas and new methods"
Another explanation of the magic 80
Is given by Chicago psychologist:
"Thirty-five as the age of degcnera-
tion may be explained by what ! call
the theory of the cycle 7. 1t has been
said that the body changes every seven
years: this septennial change may also
be said to be true of the mind. Thirty
five, you see, Is five times seven. That
gives us five mental changes to account

He earned his first money soon afttr
