The Old Age Pensions Lop

The supreme court in holding the Old Age and Mothers Pen sion law to be invalid was left nothing else to do by the men who prepared the initiated bill. As it was drawn it made com pliance with it's terms impossible and also, as it was drawn, it was contrary to public policy if it had been effective. It left orphans and a certain class of indigents without aid and provided aid for a certain class of widows, wives and children who might be in no need of assistance. It failed to conform in form to a constitu- tional requirement. regarding its title. Arizona Republican.

Bull Moose Back

Deserted by the one man about whose personality thelr party was built, it was inevitable that progressive organization should disintegrate and it's mem- bers return to their former poli- tical affiliations. The remark able thing is that so many vot- CTS should have followed the leadership of a single individual for so long a time in an indepen dent movement which involved nothing new in the way of a set of political principles. -Albu- QuerQue Journal.

OLD AGE AND PEACE
GO HAND IN HAND
Righteous Old Age Abides in
Peace in Period Of Just
fulness.
OLD, TOO, HAVE MORE FAITH

1.-THE Blessings of Old Age" wa:
the theme upon which Rev. J. A. Max
we'll preached yesterday morning al
Calvary Baptist church, taking hi:
text from proverbs 1851, THE hoary
head is a crown Of glory If it be found
in the way Of Righteousness"
Some people with the wrong per
spective of life are in the habit o.
speaking of old age as the winter oil
life,'" said DR.. Maxwell. This is en-.
tirely wrong. There is no reason fol-
so calling it. And even If it were the
winter Of life, winter has many de.
lights and comforts of which summer
knows nothing. And sumner has many
discomforts and disadvantages that
are unknown to winter.
Live in Content.
"Old people, if they have lived good
lives, have passed the winter of their
lives and have come to the calm
heights where resignation and content
abide together with wisdom and
peace. ...
1.-THE person who breads to grow
old either isn't living the right kind
of life or else lacks the wisdom to see
life in its reality.
"Old age is the period Of fruitful
ness, the best time in life as in nature,
Old people have patience that young
ones know nothing OF. The young
fret and fume and rush about. The
old, the righteous old, abide in peace
and security and wisdom.
Faith is another mighty attribute
of the old that is often missing in the
young. You don't find the hoary
heads going to hear some young the
illogical sensationalist expound the
higher criticism. The old have learned
by Gods guidance in the past that He
will guide them in the future to the
end OF this life and into the next one.
Sets In Glory.
1.-THE sun is beautiful when it rises
and when it hangs in the zenith. But
not so beautiful as when it sets in a
blaze of glory and in colorings that
no human hand has ever been able to
paint. So it is with the life of man
If it be found in the way of righteous
ness"
Vacation Bible school conducted by
the young people of this church at an
expense OF several hundred dollars

Movie Audience Gets Added Thrill
When Girls Dispute in the DARK

Then Matron Gibbons turned up
her nose at the crowd and brought
the three girls into police head
quarters station and the crowd, in
Disappointment, dispersed.
Cleo Travis, l9-year-old girl who
until recently worked at the Harvey
telephone exchange, had borrowed
a dress belonging to Hazel Mastin,
ll08 Jackson street, without HazePs
knowledge. So Hazel, when she
found out about it, got her sister
Bessie and started out on still hunt.
The search was quiet enough until
they found their quarry in the movie
shop. Then peace and quiet were
dispensed with.
The Mastin girls work in their
mothers restaurant at 308 South
Eleventh. Cleo, they said. was for
merly their friend.
In the matron's department, Cleo,
pretty and demure enough for any
Anthony, told all about it. She had a
date for Sunday night, she said, "and
not a thing to wear" so she just
borrowed" the dress.
She has been out Of job for a
week. Her mother ran away month
ago, and her stepfather's where
abouts are also a mystery.

German Technical
Union Enrolls
Some Able Men

Correspondence OF The Associated Press.)
Berlin. July 3l.---In the new Ger
man Union Of Technical and Econom
ic Associations, with its 10000 mem
bcrs, there has been organized tn,
greatest industrial body in any coun-
try in the world. The members In,
cludc architects, engineers, electro
technical experts, marine engineers,
coal and iron men and chemists.
Planned many years ago, the CON-
plction OF the Organization has been
FASTENED by the war, since one OF its
main purposes Is to prepare for the
great commercial battle which will be-
gin as soon as the military fighting is
at an end.
This German union proposes to
work in close relation with similar
bodies in Austria and Hungary, the
ultimate aim being to incorporate
them all into great central European
body OF enormous extent and power.
1t is argued that such force will
make itself heard in the settlement OF
the great industrial problems which
will come up after the war and the
governments will be forced to pay at
tentiou to the commercial interests.
And il is also asserted that the mill
tary interests Of the state will benefit
also from such . powerful organiza.
tion as the technical sciences and
chemistry are all the time becoming
more important for the army and
navy and the general defense Of the
country.
