Where Our Bonanza

1t is when the traveller has made

WOMAN AND OLD AGE

A woman has declared that at
106 she is in better health and hap
pier than at any previous time in
her life.
Surely, woman who is healthy
at l06 ought TO be happy. She
would have to be happy to be
healthy.
None but happy disposition
could carry one through so many
years. a gloomy temperament
would strangle life out of the body
before the age of 106.
The human body can no more
thrive in shadow than can a rose.
We live by desire to live. En-
ioyment of and zest in life are a
constant source of life supply.
old age ought to be the hap
piest period of life, particularly for
a woman. If she has kept her mind
active and has wisely refused to
settle into the dull rut that people
always have ready for her, she can
begin in old age to enjoy life in
earnest.
In old age there is no more worry
about the babies, no more suffer
ing for others. The children are
grown up, and, if her part has been
well done, they are a prop and a
solace to her. Grandchildren are
a delight without the bitter, con-
slant worry.
The woman grown old in years
should be her best mentally. She
is free to indulge her tastes, en-
Joy a good book and the conver-
sation of genial minds.
Women retain their vitality and
spirits longer than men do. The
burdens of life fall from them grad
ually, and the peace of retirement
from active duties comes upon
them little by little and almost i'm
perceptibly. - The Christian Her

TRAINING FOR
AERO WORKERS
Nephew of Marshal Joffre Be-
ing Taught in New Jer-
sey Factory

Owing to the large airplane or
ders placed by the government, the
labor question has become acute and
skilled airplane workers are in great
demand. To meet this situation vo-
cational schools for afrplane work
ers are being established all over
the country. These are modelled on
that OF the Standard Aero Corpor
alton of Plainfield, n. j., whose
training airplanes has been adopten
as the official machine of the gov
ernment. The Standard School was
founded several months ago by
Harry Bowers Mingle, president Of
the corporation, who foresaw the
labor shortage.
AS soon as this country showed
signs of going into the war" he
said, Il realized that it would need
thousands of airplanes and that it
would take several hundred thous-
and men to make them. / saw that
we would be short of labor because,
contrary to general belief, every
skilled mechanic is not an airplan c
worker.
"Airplane making is a distinct
trade Just as is matchmaking, which
1t greatly resembles, in that it re-
CURES the utmost in precision and
painstaking care. Realizing this, |
founded our vocational airpIane
school, which covers a course OF
three months and which graduates
airplane mechanics of the highest
type. The course is mainly shop
work and takes the students from
The working and metal work
ing departments through the wing
and body-making departments, to
the assembling room. Each stu
dent spends as much time in each
department as it takes him to learn
everything about it, and then passes
on to the next. The course follows
the details of making an airplane
in each successive phase so that
when the student finishes he is ia
miliar with every one of the thous-
and operations necessary to make a
modern machine.
Some of the best students in our
airplane course are women. They
have taken to this new industry
with great enthusiasm and are prov
ing to be as good as men in many
departments, in particular in the
wing making and other lighter work
which requires fine hands and great
skill.
Among the students at the Stand
ard plant is Andrew Reid, fourth, a
nephew of Marshal Joffre, and it is
expected that several of the young
er sons of cabinet members will take
up the work in the fall.

Geraldine Farrar in
"Joan the Woman"

In these days, when the power of
women to influence and sway the af-
fairs of the world along channels that
tend to the uplift of humanity, no
greater portrayal of their influence
could possibly be imagined than the
wonderful production of Joan. the
Woman" which will be presented at
the Regent Theater the first four days
of next week. This production is be-
ing shown in larger cities at high
admission price.
Joan. the Woman" stands super
eminent in power of story, in the les
son that it teaches for good, in patri-
ctc feeling and in everything that
pertains to the making of a great
educational spectacle
So gigantic is it's scope that it is all
that human mind can do to grasp it
in its entirety. Geraldine Farrar
brings Joan of Arc back to life. She
lives as one of us, and one can almost
hear her speak, so vivid are the scenes
IN which she appears. Joan. the Wo-
man. does not want for thrills Never
nave such battle scenes been seen on
tne screen before, and it is doubtful If
they Will ever be surpassed. Never
mas an audience been so swayed by
any photodrama, and the lspasmodic
pursts OF applause came hSe volieys
from nest of machine gums.
