YEARS ARE HELD I'M LEASH
1t You Would Live Lono Go Over to
Halifax County, Va, and Hear
Mr. Thomas Bruce.

Ii any of these authorities on what
constitutes old age are in the vicinity
will they please drop around to the
Wolcot hotel and discuss the matter
with Thomas e. Bruce of Halifax coun-
ty, Va? Mr.. Bruce, who is eighty
years young, has some definite ideas
on the subject, and he knows where
the years may be successfully interned
so that they are harmless.
That beneficent spot is Halifax coun-
ty, Va, sub! 1t is beyond doubt the
most wonderful spot on the whole
green earth. If Metchnikoff, who
made goats milk popular by discover
ing that the Bulgarians who drank it
managed to live long time, had only
gone to Halifax county instead, there
would be less artificial buttermilk on
the market now.
Believe all of this from Mr.. Bruce.
The other day he halted in the foyer
of the Wolcott, where he has been
coming for many years, to hear one
man condole with another over the
death of his father, seventy-fve years
old.
HE died of old age" the grieving
one said
"Old age?" broke in Mr.. Bruce, in
dignantly. "Old age? Why, / am
eighty years old-or young-myself
My mother lived to be ninety-six years
old, my father was past ninety when he
went on and l have an uncle living
and in good health at one hundred and

RUSSIANS WIN A BIG
BATTLE IN THE BALTIC
German Cruiser and Thirteen Other
Vessels Destroyed in Attack on
Convoy Fleet

Copenhagen. June 16.-The German
cruiser Koenig Won Sachsen (King OF
Saxony), a destroyer and II merchant
men have been sunk in a sea fight in
the Baltic, according 10 report re-

The presence of IA merchant ships

Available naval registers do not list
the Koenig Won Sachsen. 1t probably
is one of the four cruisers laid down
in 1913 and expected to be completed
during the last year and this.

MIRAGE.

Mirages are most often seen in hot
climates, especially over sandy deserts,
and also frequently in the Polar re-
gions, the cause being assigned to
sharp variations in the atmosphere.
They are also visible at times in the
temperate zones, the general opinion
being that the objects seen are re-
flected on minute particles of dust in
the air. The same effect has been
witnessed in mists or fogs, the sup
position being that the reflection is
carried on the tiny globules of mois.
ture then contained in the atmosphere.
If you noted the weather conditions at
the time the mirage was visible, you
will probably find the explanation in
the reason last mentioned.

GOLD IN EASTERN STATES
With Silver and Other Metals Years
Production Is Around
s30,0O0,OoO.

Not all of the gold of this country
comes from Alaska and the Rocky
Mountain states. A good-sized lump
of it, more than 10000 ounces, worth
s224,250, is dug out of the mountains
here in the East, remarks the New
York Sun.
Gold hunters dreamed for years of
hidden wealth of yellow metal in the
southern part of the Appalachian
range. Some of them stopped dream
ing and went to work, missing an FL
dorado but gaining enough profit to
pay we'll for their daily labor. AS a
result SO gold and placer mines and
"a deep gold mines have been devel-
oped.
The most productive of these are in
North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.
The last-named state has not done so
we'll as In some previous years, but
both the others have exceeded the pro-
duction of 1914. The largest placer
mine is in Rutherford county, North
Carolina, and the most productive
deep mine in Montgomery county, in
the same state.
But the whole story of metal mining
in the East is not told in the quest
for gold. Besides this precious min
eral, silver, copper, lead and zinc haze
been produced in quantities sufficient
to make a total last year Of almost
thirty million dollars. This is nearly
three times the value Of the proceed
ing years production, the increase in
gold alone being more than fifty thou
sand dollars.

A HUGHES VICTORY.

Hughes reception at Detroit and
Chicago indicated that the breach in
the Republican party has been heal
ed. Wilson will not be able to tr;
umph again because of party division.
His position before the voters is
weaker today than when he rode into
power as minority choice.
It is reasonable to suppose that
practically all the Progressive and
Republican vote cast in 1912 will go
to Hughes. Then there is consid-
cradle element of the Democratic par.
ty alienated by Wilson's vacillation,
which willswell the majority.
New York, Ohio, Indiana and Hi.
nois are regarded as pivotal states.
Hughes chances are bright for win.
ming these states and carrying with
him the congressional ticket, thus in.
surfing support for his policies in
both legislative branches.
All signs point to Hughes victory.

STUDY IT WELL.

1t would be little better than we'll
to take apart and carefully scrutinize
the Senate amendment to the naval
bill changing the method of promot-
ing officers from seniority to selection
by commission, before it is cram
med down the throat of the navy.
There are arguments pro and con
mostly con. Ninety per cent Of the
junior naval officers are against it.
The prospect for advancement in the
service, in view of Uncle Sans en-
larged naval program, is good. 1t
offers inducements to young men
which have been sadly lacking here
tofore 1t would surely crush the
spirit of every young man in the serv-
ice to feel that, after he had given
the best that was in him, he might
be cheated out of an earned promo
ton by the arbitrary action of COM
mission. 1t might put the navy deep
er in politics, just what we have been
trying to get away from, and it would
put premium upon "pull' and dis
courage push"
Still, there may be arguments to
outweigh these objections. The
change may be necessary as part Of
a comprehensive plan for a greater
navy. But the proposition is one to
be studied and there can be no urgent
reason for the passage of the amend
ment at this session. The young ma.
val officers are entitled to hearing,
which they haven't had There will
be few promotions for year and &C
tion can we'll be deferred.

THE WOMAN VOTE.

The Washington Post makes this
interesting analysis: - 90 ~
NEARLY 100000 women can vote
for President in November. They re-
side in twelve States. In 1912 If SO
women in California had voted for
Wilson he would have carried the
state against Roosevelt, who received
II electoral votes. In Wyoming a
change Of 376 votes, and in Idaho a
change of $50 votes would have deliv-
cred Z electoral votes. from Wilson
to Taft. Less than 10000 votes would
have swung Illinois 20 electoral votes
from Wilson to Roosevelt. In Ari-
iona the electoral vote could have
been changed by 1,6eS votes; in Col.
orado, by 20,964; in Kansas, by H.
727; in Montana, by 2,743; in Nevada,
by 1,1S4; in Oregon, by Abb, and in
Utah, by 2,761. The twelve states
named cast one-fifth of the electoral
vote of the country"
