THE YOUNGEST OLD MAN

NHAUNCEY M. DEPEW is the
" youngest old man in the United
States. He recently gave q talk
on the art of growing old, declaring
that the don't worry class helps
make octogenarians. Mr.. Depew will
be SO years old next April and he
observed in a speech this week that If
he should reveal how often he had to
rely on a physician the old tradition
about a man being his own best ply
sician after he is fifty would dis
appear. While the octogenarian might
not think doctor was necessary, his
wife does.
Mr.. Depew expressed the belief that
David's Nineteenth Psalm, in which
the sweet singer of Israel said that
three score and ten years were the
limit of life, has sent many person
to his grave because they believed
David. He thought the psalm had
caused more deaths than the war now
raging in Europe.

RICHMOND ALMOST
GOT GOVERNMENT
AVIATION STATION

Who can produce for Richmond a
placid body of water 500 yards wide.
connecting directly with a body of
water about three miles or more in
length?
This is how far Richmond missed
getting a government aviation station.
Secretary Haas of the Commercial
club received letter today from Capt.
T. D. Milling. Signal Corps. U. S.
War Department, giving specifications
necessary for the establishment of
an aviation experiment and training
station here.
IF we can furnish the water, we can
furnish the rest of it," said Secretary
Haas today.
The water being lacking, there is
no possibility of Richmond getting
the station and her citizens becoming
accustomed to half dozen wheeling
aeroplanes darting through the air
on practice spins.
Morton lake is too small to meet
the requirements of the signal corps
for hydro-aeroplane work, Mr.. Haas
said. The field, three miles long and
a mile wide, is available for govern
ment purchase at several places with
in the stipulated four miles from a
railroad.
Mr. Haas wrote to the department
Friday and received the reply in this
mornings mail.

EARLY MARRIAGES
END IN FAILURE
SAYS JUDGE FOX

The number of divorce suits brought
in the Wayne circuit court varies pro-
portionately to the number of people
under twenty-one years who are
granted marriage licenses.
This opinion was expressed by
Judge Fox today.
1T is seldom that have a couple
come before me for divorce, when
both parties concerned were over
twenty-four years of age when mar
ried," said the Judge, who has been on
the bench some twenty years.
Marriages of sixteen and seventeen
year old people very often prove un-
successful, but not always.
Another common cause of divorce
is people getting married who are not
able to do So"

Railroad Managers Debate
Best Method to Prevent,
Enforcement of Adam
son Measure.
NEWLAND'S BOARD
STARTS HEARINGS
Brotherhoods Look to Presi-
dent and Attorney Cen
eral to Fight Their
Case for Them.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Railway
managers comprising the National
Conference committee, continued to-
day consideration of whether whole
sale legal action to defeat the Adam
son eight-hour law will be taken or
whether a limited series of injunc-
tions will be filed.
The consensus of opinion was said
to favor the former course, which
would result in approximately 5000
actions covering the entire railroad
territory of the United States. Which
ever method is selected the cases are
expected to be in the courts within
ten days.
Hearings Begin Soon
In view of the fact that the New
lands committee is to hold public
hearings on the railroad situation
generally beginning next Monday,
there was an indication that definite
action would be postponed until, the
conclusion of these hearings.
Two developments stood ont prom
inently today in the new situation,
0Ai0Au6 lIOIA tAO lO1 tAVOIuu6 2QRAl-
cation of the Adamson law:
First-The announcement that the
managers of the roads would probably
apply for injunctions against the law
in every federal court district In the
United States with separate suit in
behalf of every one of the 200 rail-
roads in every district which they
enter. Should this step be taken and
the litigation involved run the ordi-
nary course of legal procedure the
eight-hour law will be from six
months to two years behind time In
going into effect, even if found con-
stitutional, it was declared
Second-That brotherhoods of train
men announced that they will make
an appeal to President Wilson to give
them on January 1, next, the eight
hour day, which they say was prom
ised them at Washington last sum-
mer when the strike order was re-
called.
The brotherhoods, It was announced
will not contest the suits to be insti-
tuted by the roads and will not ap-
pear by counsel in court to argue for
the constitutionality of the eight-hour
law. They contend that the duty logi-
cally evolves on the encouragement
and will look to the judicial branch of
the government to fight their battle.

at Onct.

Official report Of J. L. Harrington,
Kansas City bridge expert, on the
Richmond bridge situation was re-
ceived today by Lewis Bowman, eoun-
ty auditor.
Mr.. Bowman Immediately called for
a special session Of the county COM
missioners Saturday when the report
will be opened and made public. All
interested are invited to be present
in the commissioners room at 10
o'clock.
Il 10 not known whether the report
favors a level or sianting Main street
bridge. A letter from Mr.. Harrington
explains that the finding is based upon
the attitude Of the general offices Of
the c. & o. railroad toward change
Of grade in the tracks at Main street.
Construct Level Bridge.
For level bridge to be constructed,
It would be necessary for the grade to
be altered at cost Of some hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars.
There has been much talk, however,
to the effect that the railroad is not
satisfied with its present grade and
that II 10 considering changing ito
tracks to the west side Of the river.
II is the general opinion that the C..
4 o. railroad has refused to alter it's
grade unless the city or county agrees
to stand for the costs. n. c. Starr,
Indiana representative Of the railroad,
notified the commissioners some time
ago that the company would change
the grade Of its tracks II the city or
county paid for such changes but
otherwise it would maintain them as
they are.
In case the national officials backed
up Mr.. Starts statements to the Board,
Mr.. Harrington has no doubt recon-
mended sIanting bridge.
Can't Stand Expense.
Neither the city or county could
stand the added expense which would
be connected with changing the rail-
road tracks
But if by some method, Harrington
has been able to dispose Of the per-

SAYS AMERICA
FAILS TO GRASP
BLACKLIST NOTE

LONDON, Nov. 15.-The Times COM
menting on .viscount Grey's note to the
United States in regard to the British
blacklist says:
'"The reason of this convincing
document must satisfy the government
and people of the United States that
they have misunderstood the measure
against which they thought it right to
protest. Their note declared that
these measures were inconsistent with
the rights of neutrals.
Viscount Grey joins issue upon this
contention and proves that they do not
impair neutral rights as the statute is
piece of purely municipal legislation.
We have too high an opinion of Amer
ican sense of justice and law to sup
pose that our right, legal and moral.
to adopt these measures can seriously
be disputed once their true character
is understood"
