"OlD" AT THE AGE OF
THIRTY-SEvEN

The defeat Of Jack Johnson by
Jess Willard is generally attributed
to his age From the standpoint of
athletics, he is going down the de-
clivity OF life at the ripe age Of thir'
tyseven. He excelled Willard in sci
ence and skill, but got tired quicker.
Baseball constantly gives these In.
stances Of some loss OF physical pow.
or at an early age. The great ma
tority of the successful players are
under thirty. over that age some
lack of elasticity and endurance com.
monty begins to unfit man for the
fastest play.
1t would be q melancholy reflection
for the average man, II he had to ad.
NIT that at the age OF thirty-hve he
was going down hill. In business the
years from forty to fifty are com
monty called the prime OF life. The
man who shows decided signs Of
physical decay at fifty has usually
abused himself either by dissipation
or overwork
Many men start with meager
equipment Of physical strength, but
by rational exercise and sane living
are stronger at fifty, capable OF
greater physical eXertion, than they
were at thirty.
Young people take pride in their
seeming ability to defy the stupid
laws OF health. They bolt their
food, cut short their sleep, and in
dulge in harmful vices. The spirit
of youth keeps them going, until one
day something snaps. 1t may take
years to recover.
II is often said that the way to
live long is to have some incurable
! disease. The man who starts out
with slender equipment of physical
power, careful outstanding OF his
forces often lives into the eighties.
Meantime physical maryels like Jack
Johnson or the ball players throw
! the cream of their power into mo
ments of supreme strain,
There may be more physical loss
in such an hour than in years Of
/ plodding effort of daily life. It is yet
to be proved that athletic prowess as
sures either long life or healthy

SOMETHING OF A PUZZLE
But Of Course the Reader Can Easily
Find Out for Himself Just What
Baby's Age Was.

Dear Newt: We have In our home a
darling baby boy, who was four months
old on January 90 last.
When was he five months old7-Mother.
Your little tootsums boy is four
months old, Ell? What a cunning lit.
tie thing he must be! OF course, he
Is more cunninger now than he will
be when he begins to cut his teeth.
You made no mention OF Father,
Mother. I hope Father Is well. I
wouldn't want you to think am
knocking Father at ALTAR from 1t,
but, just between you and me, don't
think | would let Father hold toot-
sums or lug him about very much
What does a man, even though he be
father and husband, know about
handling baby? Father Is Just as
likely to pick tootsums up by the
heels as any other way-and also
liable to let the dear little thing slip
through his hands to the floor Safe

However, you want to know when
your baby was FIVE months old. You
say he was four months old last Janu.

Tootsums was five months old on
February 80 and-no-just a minute,
Mother-I don't mean that exactly
on second thought I see spoke
hastily. AS a matter Of fact, there Is
no such date as February 3O-ha-ha!
tee-hee!-that was laughable, wasn't
1t, Mother? quite absurd and ridic-
ulous In the extreme! Now let us get
down to brass brads on this, Mother.
Since tootsums was four months old
on January 80. one would naturally
suppose that the child would be Ave
months old on the Both OF the month
following. But In this case the month
following-February-ain't got no

and we'll have to govern ourselves
accordingly

UNlVE FIRSTLY
CONTROL

Public sentiment will approve any
reasonable compromise to terminate
the University of Utah controversy.
Almost any amicable adjustment will
be satisfactory II 1t be made without
surrender OF the fundamental prin.
ciple involved. The institution must
remain within the control of the
agents Of the people the representa-.
tives Of the taxpayers who maintain
II. That question in the last analys-
is Is scarcely debatable.
Utah taxpayers will not accept any
university system that requires them
to search among an hundred profes
sors In placing responsibility for uni
versity results. That would spell
chaos and anarchy as certainly as
the sparks fly upward. The Uni.
yersity OF Utah is a state institution,
administered by a board of regents
who are .ountable to the people for
their acts. There should be no lin,

would inevitably occur II policies and
methods are to be only as stable as
the whims of individual instructors,
no two Of whom probably could agree
upon any reasonable number OF Civ,
en- issues.
University statistics show its fac,
ulty members are recruited from var.
ious parts of the country. The known
regulations of candidates for ap-
polntment, together with their cole.
giate records. and the recommended
lions of experts familiar with their
work, doubtless governs in their Sc
lection. Ordinarily they are admir-
able persons entirely adequate to the
tasks before them, They can with
out hesitan.y be entrusted with the
duty of imparting knowledge, OF slim
ulating the students mental process

Of accurate and intelligent thought.
That conception of their sphere OF
action is, we believe, eminently fair,
Beyond that, however, we doubt
whether it is wise to permit them
to go. The selection of the political

WHEAT AND
RUSSIA

It is impossible to tell just how
much wheat is stored away in Rus
STA observes the Rural Weekly, but
there is doubtless enough TO send
the price in America down, once the
Dardanelles are open.
That the allies are really determln
ed to force the Dardanelles Is now
apparent, for, we're 1t merely threat
they would not have sacrificed sew
eral battleships.
The close relations between the
Dardanelles and the price OF wheat
has been repeatedly shown. In 1884
when the French and British feet
passed the Dardanelles avowedly
with the purpose OF cutting off Rus
sian exports, American wheat jumped
to So. 80 per bushel. In 1877, when
the Russian Turkish war broke out,
wheat again scared. Just few days
since, when the present operations
commenced, the Chicago market drop
ped 80 cents in few days.
Russia has a vast amount Of wheat
in reserve unquestionably, for she
has had no opportunity TO get any
portion Of the last crop out. It Will
be rushed to market at the very ear
Hest moment for another big crop Is
coming on. The war will probably
cause a 10 per cent decrease, II any
AT all, in Russia's wheat acreage.
America also has promise Of another
bumper crop, and now comes Argen-
tina with reports of heavy European
exports of wheat.

THE "PLU0 HAT"
CENTENARY

Some comment is proceeding on
the statement that the year lSl'
completes the Tooth year of the vogue
of the tall hat. commonly referred
In as the plug hat 4" The Syracuse,
N. Y. Standard thinks this resplen'
dent article is on the decline. II has
not seen one on the streets OF that
city since January 1.
II is in the cities rather than in
the country, in the East and North
rather than the South and West, that
the plug hat has had its principal
vogue. II 1t be true that the men OF
n prominent Eastern city have prac-
tically discarded this sign OF high
dignity, the future Of the tall hat
looks dark indeed.
Formerly many officials, manufac-
turers and other captains of indus
try, preachers of the gospel, lawyers
and others occupying posts of i'm
portance felt that silk hat was an
essential element in the dignity of
their positions.
The result was that the style was
adopted by other classes OF society
of less established position. Indian
doctors, circus and vaudeville press
agents, side show barkers, felt that
even a battered and faded old tile
had value in their business. Such at
tempts at counterfeit dignity preju,
diced the ordinary man against this
pretentious article.
A great many men possess plug
hats hidden away on top shelves.
They were perhaps bought for their
wedding, to please and impress wives
or sweethearts. The sproutlings of
the younger sets still cling to them.
as a sign of the socially elect. In the
more formal Smart Sets of the larg.
er cities, they still appear on dress
parade.
The ordinary man grows more In
formal every year. The plug hat
is too much the sport of playful
breezes, it requires hat box for
safe transportation and storage. II
calls for too much care to suit the
ordinary man, who likes easy and
comfortable clothes. The centenary
of this impressive article of mems
wear will see It far less popular than
IL was on earlier anniversaries

General carranza Notifies United

Washington, April 1O.-General
Carranza has finally notified the Uni.
ted States government through Con.
sui Silliman that he cannot agree TO
the naturalization of either Mexico
City or the railroad from the capital
to Vera Cruz. To both of these sug.
gestions, made by the state depart.
ment, the Villa Zaptat authorities
had given their consent.
General Carranza refused to ex.
clude Mexico City from the fields of
operations on the ground that IL is
an objective point in his military
campaign. Military reasons also are
given for the refusal to neutralize
the railroads between Vera Cruz and
Mexico City.
Officials here, while disappointed
over the failure of the negotiations
which had for their object the furn.
ishing of a means of ingress and
egress for foreigners, are hopefu!
that the railroads between Mexico
City and the American border will
