When Man Is Well Past Forty
Years of Age, Ii Is Claimed.

"Our times are frequently called the
age Of the young men. But when one
looks back to the revolutionary era Of
our country, from 1775 to 1925. and
considers the striking youthfulness of
the leaders Of America the appellation

Nor do the men now In their twen-

that this Is prominently the young
mans age. Unless men of forty are
considered young, this scarcely is a
young mans age.
'aThe youngsters under thirty receive
an undue degree of attention from the
professions and business. A notion
prevails that the latest graduate from

had seen no fewer than 66S neutral ships sunk by
submarine warfare.
We saw Germany precipitatng this world war,
in which she has used poison and fire, as a part
of her official policy at moment when in the
opinion of her leaders she judged the rest of the
world to be unready to defend Itself against an
attack for which Germany had been preparing
for 40 years.
The plain catalogue of facts makes it plain
why America is fighting to defend itself and democ-
racy. We have entered the war primarily in self
defense To have done anything less would have
been TO surrender sovereignty and to have
waited passively until the German program had
been far carried out and the truly modern ma
lions of Europe weakened that we In our
unpreparedness would have been forced to fight
a rapacious, constituencies military autocracy,
whose ends in war are ayowedy indemnities, ag-
grandzement, and the control of the world. Our
alignment inevitably with and for democracy.
An epoch of civilization hangs in the balance.
Not to have co-operated with a world that is
deavonng to protect itself and its future from
Germany with its militaristc autocracy its ter
rorism, and its disregard of international law,
that noblest product of civilization, would have
been bid for suicide.
We do not fight for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, or ndem
nifty, the forcble imposition of Institutions
upon any country; fight for sef-protection.
We do not fight to further British ambitions or
French schemes of colonization. We are fighting
for the institutions which with varying degrees
have spread from America all over the world ex
cept Germany. Austria Hungary, Turkey, and
Bulgaria.
Our success will make 1t possible, we believe,
not only for our children and children's chill
dren to enjoy peace, but for German liberalism
to master the forces which for nearly century
have been its oppressor.
The American Revolution preserved in America
and In England the liberty that goes with indie |
pendence Our Civil war assured the future of
democratic institutions in united nation. The |
present war is not born of our independence but
of our interdependence among those nations who
have dedicated themselves to the task of seeing
that government of the people. by the people, and
for the people shall not perish from the earth.

tory paying higher wages than other similar plants
and working only six days a week instead of seven,
which is the rule of the cotton mills and silk fila
lures of Shanghai II can pick and choose in its
labor that the type of girl employed in the egg
breaking room Is far above the standard of any
other Chinese factory. and composite picture of
them all probably would come nearer the Chinese
idea of feminine beauty than any other 100 girls
that can be found in Shanghai.
As the workers enter in the morning they are
dressed in freshly sterilized clothing furnished by
the factory, and after their nails are manicured
they are allowed to proceed to the workroom
The breaking is solid concrete and is
sterzed each day rs carefully the operating
room of a hospital. The girls are seated on metal
stools at low zinc tables. Before each of them is
a curious appliance which mechanically separates
the white of the egg from the yolk. The girl takes
an egg from the can. into which they have been
counted by the Gamblers. and with the right hand
cracks IL the bar Of the separating machine.
The breaking is then finished by dexterous move
ment of the fingers, which permits the egg to drop
into shallow cup, where the yolk Is caught and
the white allowed TO drain off the sides.
The drying room Is described rs emhodyiag all
the latest features in the sanitary handling of this
product The air used in the drying process is
thoroughly filtered being forced through the dry
ing apparatus under heavy steam pressure. The

which are allowed to cool TO temperature slightly
Adore the freezing point. Then the product goes
to the packing room. where it is placed In boxes
lined with waxed paper, which stenced and

ture of dry yolks only after the stralning the large
cans are taken to the freezing chambers. Here
the temperature is kept close 10 zero, Fahrenheit
and the separate whites and yolks are poured into
cans standing ON racks that line the walls of the
freezing chamber.
