GETTING OLD TOO SOON.
Rules for Preserving Youth and De-
ferring Old Age.

Youths Companion: We often
hear it said by scientific men that
human beings grow old too quickly
and die too soon. Since everything
that has life in lue time grows old
and dies, we must conclude that ma
ture intends man to vie also But
what is due time?
The scientific men say that the
race does not enjoy it's full allow
ance of life and that instead of
growing old in the land which the
Lord our God gives u.s." we perish
prematurely there, chiefly by reason
of our own blindness and self-indul-
gence.
When We look into the cases of
persons who have lived to a great
age and enjoyed good health all
through life we generally find that
they were born of healthy and long
lived parents and that they them
selves led rather abstemious lives.
Almost always we learn that they
did not worry"
When DR.. Harvey wrote his report
on the death of "Old Parr," who is
said to have lived to the age Of 152
years, he used the phrase, Sorry
fare, but free from care" The alb
sence of worry as an aid to long life
was as well understood then as now.
In recent book on the subject of
deferring old age the writer declares
that by following carefully the rules
of hygiene we can preserve our
youth until the age of so and live
for 100 years or even more. Among
the rules he gives are these:
Be as much in the open air as
possible, take plenty of exercise and,
above all, breathe deeply and regu-
larly. Live on simple diet, eat
meat only once day and take care
to chew your food thoroughly. Go
to bed early and rise early; sleep
in dark and quiet room with open

ers, Just as there have been thou
sands of new little readers. But il
is hard thing to comprehend. II
there is anything immutable in this
world, one would have said it was
the dog, the dog ran" or the
rhymed announcement that "the cat
is on the mat" These fundamental
things, foundations, whose passing
away was as little to be realized as
the slow disintergration of the gran
ite ribs of the earth.
The other day a Chicago peda-
gogue said there was no such thing
as a good first reader in the market
-betraying the sorrowful fact that
there really are other first readers
than McGuffey's. If McGuffey's is
not a good first reader, then what
can be the quality of those dim and
unrealizable first readers which have
dared to challenge, and maybe sue
cessfully, that mastery work? For
us, we give it up. If another than
the great Ohioan's product came to
our hands, we could think of it only
in the same light as we'd think of
a revision of Genesis-as unneces-
sary, unreal.
Those who are much together grow
singularly alike as time goes on.
No individual in the world can do
a mothers work for her.
Better three hours too soon than
one minute too late.
In idleness alone there is perpet-
ual despair.
Poverty wants much and avarice
everything.
Homegrown virtues are not coun-
terfeited.
Energy and persistence conquer all
things.
Conscience is the hearts safety
valve.

THE DOWNFALL OF RENO.

There will be mourning among the
higher-ups now that Reno, the re-
verse Gretna Green of the western
slope, has fallen from it's delectable
pre-eminence. For Nevada has
passed law requiring years resi-
dence for a divorce.
United we stand, divided we
stand better has been called the
slogan of Reno's notorious colony.
Reno's trade has been growing
more difficult as the fame of its
success spread. Formerly Nevada
granted divorce in any county in
which the defendant shall reside or
be found" Literally that permit
ted jarring pair to stop off from
the Overland express, get their di.

About four years ago six months
residence" was established as nee,
essary. And two years ago a New
York court held invalid a Nevada
divorce in which the defendant had
not appeared in the state, either in
person or by counsel.
The permissions of Nevada law
have nevertheless been elastic
Cruelty has many grades and dis.
tinctions, and failure to provide the
common necessities of lie" is gener.
ously inclusive. Would the lack oi
a 1913 automobile fit that defini
ton?
Residence" too, has had attract,
i've possibilities, In one of those
wade mecums" literally distributed
throughout the east, where the prim.
rose path of Reno divorce is set forth
as in Baedeker, one learns that the
entire six months need not be spent
within the confines OF Nevada. A

in good faith. one may travel at will
and return when one feels like it.
The shades of the prison house are
closing about many people who have
history and are seeking to unmake
1t. The Dakotas put up the bars one
notch, and Nevada follows. The
wo-ld is all too wobbly about its
ideals of marriage, but even Reno
seems to feel that the wedding
march and all those things the min.
lister said were not wholly a joke.

To Make Students Survey the State.

~ tbC
Carl McClain, assistant professor
of civil engineering at the University
of Oregon, has launched a campaign
among the students and faculty to-
wards having all the field work in
his department done in the summer
time, instead of during the regular
year. Students are handicapped in
their field work under the present
system, according to Mr.. McClain, by
the periods of intermission between
their hours in the field. Also, he
feels that too much time is lost going
to and from their work.
Glasses in surveying generally
have from one to three afternoons
in the field each week AS the ad-
vanced classes must GO out into the
country for their work, about third
of the time is spent in going and
coming. AS each student is given a
turn at the transit alternately while
OIlSiS dSI do llOl'L anu rear
men and rodmen. two weeks often
intervenes between experiences with
the transit.
Mr.. McClain's plan is to take the
boys into camp in the summer Ore
gon, as a state, is largely unsur-
veyed, wherefore it will be possible
for the classes to engage in work of
the utmost public Importance instead
of working out trumped-up problems.
Mr. McClain hopes to~have his crews
gather exact data on the waterpower
and irrigation possibilities OF many
streams, and assist the engineer
wherever possible in the gigantic
task of mapping the resources of Ore
CONS hills and valleys.

NOT APPRECIATED.

The Medford Mail Tribune says the
fishermen of the Rogue river valley
should take off their hats to Hon.
G. A. Reames for his attitude on the
Rogue river fish bill. The Ashland
fishermen, to Judge from remarks on
the street, feel more like taking a
swift kick at him. They say that
had not Mr. Reames introduced the
first bill in behalf of the cannery
people, their bill could have been
beaten, but if not beaten, could never
have been passed over Vests veto.
They declare, however, that the fact
that Jackson county man intro
duced the bill in the first place, null
lifted all his efforts to prevent its
passage later

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
t::al;s.;::;:::::::::;::::::::t:
Fairgrounds Needed.

At Pacific Grove recently the
board of trustees sought to establish
tennis courts, croquet and children's s
Fairgrounds in plat of land known
as Caledonia Park within the corpo-
rate limits of the city.
One o. c. Caulding commenced an
injunction suit against the trustees,
contending that they should have
obtained the consent of the Pacific
Grove Retreat Association before at
tempting to convert the park into a
pleasure ground; furthermore, that
the placing of tennis courts, croquet
and children's Fairgrounds in the
park would be derogatory to its
moral and prudential use"
Judge Sargent decided against
Caulding, holding tennis to be a
healthful means of exercise; croquet
well adapted to those in need of less
strenuous recreation; while the play
grounds for children will be the
means of developing youth, buoy
ancy, happiness and good cheer in
the little ones who in the future will
become the bulwarks and mainstays
of our country"
In his decision Judge Sargent says:
ITO me it seems that when one
has grown so old and grabbed, when
his nature has become so crossed
with life's wires of discord that he
cannot hear music in the sound of
children's voices, nor see sunshine
in their happy faces. it is high time
he seclude himself from life's real
enjoyments and find a place for him
self where he can mediate upon his
past sins and follies undisturbed by
the happiness of Others"
Good for Judge Sargent!
There are too many Keep Off the
Grass" signs now, staring girlhood,
boyhood and adolescence in the face,
leaving them no place for recreation
and amusement unless they search
out some forbidden path that leads
to hell.
If such "unco good" as Cauldng
could have their way in the enact
ment of Blue Laws against child
hoods happy amusements, the youth
full recruits for houses of prostitu-
ton and penitentiaries would be null
tiplied manifold

THE RATTLE OF THE BLIND.

''The blind have not had a square
deal in life" was remarked by Presi-
dent Taft in his speech at New York
few nights ago, at the dedication
of the Lighthouse" settlement for
the blind. He pleaded for equality
of opportunity for these unfortun-
ates.
The worst difficulty for these
dwellers of the dark is not so much
a lack of schools and institutions
suited to their needs. 1t is more that
the public has so little knowledge
of the service which sightless people
may render.
The public conception of the blind
man is of pitiful and pathetic pau
per, led about by a small dog and a
string, who may feel thankful and
satisfied provided someone gives
him enough to eat, and if he does
not get run over at the street cross
ings.
The blind student in a college or
institution enters the world of work
with keen hopes. The time that 9TH
er young men put into dancing, the
aters and lawn tennis, he has devot-
ed to reflection upon his studies and
to the perfecting of his mental equip
ment for service. He has been led to
believe that the world will appreci-
ate his capacities.
When he enters an office and asks
for a job, the impression he makes
is that of a blundering creature,
knocking over chairs and vacantly
staring about him. 1t does not seem
possible that he can do anything eff
ficiently that is more complicated
than piano tuning or chair seating.
He meets with cold turn-down.
A young blind man known to the
writer, who edited his college news
paper in brilliant fashion, has been
unable to get anything to do corre-
spending with his tastes and abili-
ties, and is now trying to make
living raising squads.
Another recently graduated from
Canadian university with the first
honors in French and German. He
had the highest recommendations
from the modern language profess
sors. Yet he has been unable to get
any position as an instructor.
Over in Europe, where they utilize
all sorts Of resources more thorough
ly, the brains and ambitions of the
blind are not thus reckoned as gifts
only for making willow baskets.

Why This Girl Failed to Find job

Why This Girl Failed to Find Job.
In the March Woman's Home Com
panion appears very interesting
talk to business girls in which the
following story is told: "a
A young woman living in an in
land town was given a valuable let
ter of introduction to the superin-
tendent of a New York department
store, noted for it's good wages and
considerate treatment of it's en-
ployes. The writer said to the girl:
Present this letter to my friend, any
morning before $50"
Arriving in New York the girl
went to visit friends whose sons held
positions in Wal street. When she
mentioned her letter of introduction,
the mother of the family, who knew
nothing of business customs, save as
she had heard her husband and sons
speak of them, said;
Nonsense! You don't want to go
| downtown at that hour. Big New
York men never appear at their Of
fices before 10 o'clock"
The girl promptly forgot or ig-
nored the instructions of the man
kind enough to give her the benefit
of his Influence" and lent willing
ear to the advice of her new friend.
One morning she presented herself at
the office of her prospective employ
er at 1915. He was not at his desk.
Over it hung sign, Applications
received daily at $50 a. m"
The girl read the sign, but did not
take its warning home. She was an
exception. So, despite the signifi-
cant suggestion Of the office boy that
she'd best come back the next day
before $3.50, she sat down to wait.
The superintendent returned to his
office shortly after noon. His tour
of the store had filled his mind with
| notes on details, large and small
He was in no mood to see strangers,
even though they bore letters from
old friends. And he was a stickler
for system. BY method peculiarly
his own, he ascertained that the new
conner had been advised to observe
his office rules, and to call during
the hour set for receiving applicants.
She had ignored instructions and
started her business career all wrong,
by counting herself a privileged
character. The man told her she
must gain experience in a smaller
store. She did. She started at a
bargain counter in a store command
ing the cheapest sort of trade. at s5
week. And the man back in her
home town learned from his city
friend Just why that letter of in
PRODUCTION had carried no weight.

LEGISLATORS VS.. VOTERS.

The action of the legislature in
passing over Governor Vests veto a
bill to open the Rogue river, which
had been closed by a vote of the
people, is causing considerable senti-
ment in favor of an amendment to
the Oregon constitution prohibiting
the Legislature from repeating a bill
passed by the people of the state.
All initiative bills, once passed,
should be repealable only by the
people themselves. This is the only
logical or reasonable view of the
matter, and to permit the legislature
to override the viii of the people in
the way they did is absurd in the
extreme.
A petition to place such an amend
ment before the people will have al
most unanimous endorsement.
