HELP DURING OLD AGE

In the state of Massachusetts an en- desvOr is being made to provide for old age pensions for persons in the public service. By the terms of the plan those who would benefit are to make contributions to such a fund whereby it would become a cooperative affair 10 which the municipality and the pensioner would contribute. Such would establish a civil pension system in that commonwealth for the declared purpose of making retiren1ents com pulsory at a certain fixed age and to require such to make provisions for the days winch come thereafter.
 This is a proposition which Is bound to cause much discussion and no end of opposition. It is a move which is approaching closely the old age psn- sion and no doubt the state will de- mand more time to think about it than it has had
 While certain officials are exempted from such q plan it in general would apply to those who in public service are insured of gosd wages and stead J employ n4enI and up6h whom h6t only falls ths responsibility of FfaSsaaihg for a rainy day bat to whom aBe aff6Edea opportunities which are net possessed by others for prSSidiHg against old aGA ls L. .

WATCH YOUR STEP !
A Mans Chin.
BY THE CONDUCTOR

Don't make fun O a mans jaw!
 Tt may be tn kind O jawbone Abe Lincoln and George Washington had
 If a guy has that kind of jaw and don't have no bringin' up, you read about him bein like Jesse James or Dead Eye Dick
 If he has went to school. an you learn him not to drink coffee out of his saucer. tn people all says to him, Here, you get in an drive; us muts,l Il get out an walk
 Nobody makes fun a them kind O jaws that has one of his own. It's the fellow that hain't got no more chin n parrot makes you think jaw bones is a nuisance. Them kind O fellows got to wear whiskers, else they look like a anteater.
 Did y ever see one O them red eyed. bow legged bull dogs let go any job he tackled? You know what they call his jaw don't you? It's a under shot jaw.
 If a undershot' jaw fellow thinks he's right, he won't wabbIe none. He breaches like a prize fighter hits. Look at any strike goin' on, an you'll find him bossin' tn labor union. An no railroad runs right till they get 8 'limber-jaW guy runnin' it.
 50 you don't want to feel bad about such a mans looks. He ain't got no ingrowin' jaw. When he wipes off his chin they's some chin to wipe. An when he says Gentlemen. be seated notice every gent sets down.
 Big noses, big ears. big feet. an makin' men as big brains and big pocket books.
 Don't stand in tn doorway!
 Them people got to get in. Move on in.
 Look where you step!"

Sixteen years ago today the bat tIeship Oregon began the most re- nnarkable long distance race against time in all naval history. On this date in 1898 it left San Fran cisco to join the warships in At
 antic waters. There was an effort to surround the Oregon's move ments with secrecy, but every body guessed her mission and bets made on the success of the trip. Tension relaxed for a time after the Oregon appeared at CaIlao, Peru, her first stop, but it became the more acute as she steamed southward toward the Straits of Magellan where a Spanish torpedo boat lurked and tempestuous seas made the passing of the straits hazardous. After 33 days out of San Francisco the Oregon dashed into the Atlantic, and up the coast, evading the Spanish warshiPs re- ported lying in wait for her. On the evening of May 24 she steamed into Jupiter Bay, having covered the 14,0G0 miles in 67 days. The record trip made her commander, the now Rear Admiral Charles E. Clark (retired), national hero.

MINE SAFETY,

It is only by keeping everlastingiy at 8 thing that satisfactory results are to be obtained. It is through constant attention and agitation that interest is aroused and the benefits realized. While this is applicable to all lines of preventive and protective work 1t is particularly true of endeavors which are being made for mine safety This is pointed out by Director Holmes of the government bureau of mines in his annual report for the past year. Dur ing the few years since the beginning of mine safety investigations there has been a marked increase in the general interest taken by miners, mine owners and the general public in questions re- lating to mine safety and a marked de- crease in the number of fatalities and injuries notwithstanding the increase in the number of men employed in the mines.
 Even though each year may not show all the progress that might be expect ed. the good effects of the movement cannot be hidden. It has resulted in an aroused activity on the part of all concerned for the overcoming of care lessness. the realization of personal re- sponsibility and the cooperation which Is so necessary and important in mak- ing the undertaking success The dangers which exist in mines cannot be too fully understood. The need of preventing the small as well as the big mine horrors is of the greatest inn portance. Rescue stations, safety ap- pIiances, mine ventilation, rescue breathing apparatus and fire fighting equipment all have their value, but it is the constant attention which is given to them and their use which makes them the more valuable and of stead fly increasing worth

THEN and NOW

Today the Oregon's trip may be safely recorded as the only one and the last of its kind. No other war ship is likely to be called upon to make the circuit of South America Before another war can come to pass, the gateway of the oceans will have been opened at Panama Then a modern battIeship steaming at the same rate as the Oregon, might make Jupiter Bay, Florida, from San Francisco in less than twenty days. She would not suffer for want of coal, al did tho Ore pon. She would need to rsfil her bunkers but once, and this while passing through the canal During the 8 to f2 hour passage of the Isthnus the engineers could repair or over haul her machinery, and baracies, the bane of high speed would be cleaned. Thus refreshed the bat tteship could dash across the Cult of Mexico and into battieline we'll stocked with both fuel and anmu- nitien.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Some More Predictions.

AIr. Editor: While my disturbance was one day late, storm conditions with wind in the northeast at sunrise each day prevailed during my predicted storm period. One day late however, is better than most bureaus and is also the first miss in eleven trials. Those of you who think winter is over now had best keep in just a little long CT as the last few days of this month will be very disagreeable.
 I look for at least two more snows in March and unless all signs fail the winds of March" will continue well along into April.
 While early April may be all right for planting pears and setting onions, general planting had best be delayed a little this spring, owing to much freezing weather late in April and heavy frosts in May
 The highest tides of many years may be looked for along the North Atlantic coast from March 25 to 30, one heavy storm accompanied by sharp lightning is yet due us in March and one storm of sIeet and ice.
