Learn a Jingle to
Prove Your Youth
This Is The Advice Given BY
Uncle Sans Public
Health Service.

Learn little jingle to prove your
youth. and likewise to prove your ege.
This IL the advice Of Uncle Sans Pub
lie health service. which is responsible
for the allegation that many persons
not only do not know their age. but are
ignorant Of the date of their birth.
i'ublic health reports say 1t is a common
occurrence to find school children. even
seniors at high school, who who do not
know their age. and when given 1t can
not compute the year Of their birth.
The service says:
You will need this information when
you apply for q marriage license, or
in registering for voting; or In seeking
a Government position; or in case you
claim that you are heir to fortune
that Is going to some other person.
You may have to go Under oath as to
your age when you pay your customs
duties upon return from your rext
European trip, so you should practice
I'm some Of our States there Is no
birth registration. SO you may0not be
able to prove from the records that you
ever were born. This might be en-
barrassihg to you II you want to marry
in Europe.
Perhaps the easiest way to remember
your age IL to form some Jingle or
rhyme on your birth year. For in
stance: In 1897 little Johnnie came
from heaven or In 1882 little Susie be-
gan to boo." Never mind what the
rhyme IL, just SO you remember 1t, and
II. after reaching the age Of forty. you
want to prove that you are only twen-
ty-three years old, Just change the
rhyme and perhaps people will believe
you when you repeat the Jingle to prove
your youth"

ago when Charles Alfred Page. living

knowledge Of the whereabouts of any,
of his relatives and not until recently
did he learn by placing an advertise
ment in a Kansas City newspaper. that
Miss Georgiana and Miss Electa Saw
yer, of Topeka. are his step-aunts.
Page Is also known as Adams, and
was adopted into the home of man
named Adams at kansas City. Mo,
nearly forty years ago. The foster
father died several years ago. Miss
Georgiana Sawyer answered Pages ad.
in which he sought to locate his mother
or other relatives. Mr.. Page and his
wife then visited the sawyer sisters in
Topeka and learned that his grand
father. John S. Irving. who was tailor
in Richmond. had died, leaving property
valued at several thousand dollars.
Pages mother was a daughter of 1rv-
irg, but she left her fathers home and
Ssas never heard from after she placed
her son in the orphanage. Pages
other and the Sawyer sisters were
step-sisters and when no other relatives
Of John 8. Irving were located. the

There seems to have been some mys-
terry why the crown princes army

round Of the French intrenchments
the reason is plain. The Germans are
not close enough for effective work.
They were closer on September s than
at any time. Even then they sue
ceeded in landing shells only on the
outermost ring OF fortifications.
The French learned a lesson in the
fall of Lisge and Namur. When the
crown princes army formed for the
attack on Verdun, the French forces
didn't settle back behind the forts and
walt until the German mortars bat
