ment that while man may be a
Slack, it doesn't follow that he's a
Stacker. And as evidence of this is
the fact that a recommendation list
which recently arrived at headquarters
of the United States Marine corps,
bears the name of Preston Leo Slack,
a private in the Marine corps, calling
attention to his bravery under fire.
Slack is commended for being mot
able in his remarkable courage and
fidelity to duty as liason agent in
the operations against the enemy in

THE POINT OF VIEW.

(W. Il. Sutton in National Republican,.
The man with the longest life
Does not have much time in which to
accomplish
The things he thinks he ought to do.
But if he will sit down calmly.
Pause in the midst of his rush,
And inquire of himself,
What difference does it make
In the sum total of the worlds happi-
ness
Whether l do all the things that seem
important
And what difference does it make to
me?"
He'll sometimes find he has time
For the finer things of life
And didn't know it.
Half your hobbies,
Whether they be pursuing dollars
Or fish are valuable only as pastimes
They have mighty little to do with
the big business of living
Which is. after all, the biggest bust
ness
In which you'll ever engage.
Whether you are prince or pauper.
If it gives you pleasure and others
pleasure
To hunt dollars and you do good with
| them
Once the shining silver is acquired,
| Go after them
And if you can restore your peace of
soul
BY fishing, fish; or play pool
Or attend baseball games.
But If you intend to live, think;
And you can only think by study
OF men and nature and books that re-
fleet
The thoughts of the greatest minds.
Thinkers have left their impress upon
the world
For all time
Hobby riders pass on
And nobody cares but the family
And they don't care unless
You die so poor
There is no estate left
To fight over.

THE MlDDLE-AGED MAN.
lPittsburg Dispatch }

The economic status of the man OF

ject, but claims more than superficial
Importance at present because of the
reported shortage In labor power.
correspondent calls attention to the
large number of capable men, trained,
experienced and efficient perfect ply
sically, who are unemployed De-
cause of an unthinking, arbitrary rule
against employing men Of so or older,
This mental attitude is relic Of pre-
war days, when conditions were vast
~ different than at present, and
part of the old intellectual equipment
which insisted upon having a separ-
ate mental compartment for every
thing, but none for the man whose
hair has turned gray. With a new
viewpoint insisting upon recognition
and service making claims instead OF
surface appearance it is surprising
that the medium for superior service
is rejected because of the old rule
with terribly inflexible deadline
holds a place in the new world.
Recent changes involving consoli-
dations and other readjustments of
commercial and mercantile enter
prises have displaced a large number
of high grade men who should be ex-
ceptionally valuable by reason OF
their long experience and familiarity
with work now worrying unfledged
candidates into the prematurely gray
haired class. A large percentage OF
them are of that vigorous type famil l.
iarly known as so years young, not Sc
years old, and as capable, so far as
physical and mental alertness is con-
cerned, of doing as large days labor
as when they were 40 Many well
over so are superior to the unframed
of half their age, but the old rule
against age stands in the way. The
correspondent writes a good case fol
consideration of the efficient, we'll

skilled clerical workers and who pre-

of SO or any other age above tina
should receive an attention proper
tionate to their ability. The point TO
the gray haired man is well taken
, he isn't getting square deal, espe
cially in view of the labor shortage.

SHAFT 1000 FEET DEEP

ADVANTAGE OF VERTICAL OVER
INCLINE SHAFT-cOST AND
TIME REQUIRED.

The question of the best method of
working the lowest portion of the City
Deep mine. considerable area at 5000
feet or more, has received careful con-
sideration by the technical advisers
and by the board, stated the chairman
are two methods-the first to develop
the area by continuation Of the present
inclines, and the second to sink new
vertical shaft from the surface of the
southern portion Of the property. Ex-
perience has shown that the sinking,
equipment and operation of long in
cline shafts at great depths are ex-
tremely expensive; IN fact there is
doubt as to the practicability of keep
ing a large incline shaft open at a
depth of 5000 feet or whereabouts, says
Engineering and Mining Journal. The
problem of ventilation Is difficult of
solution, and, further, it would be ex-
tremely dfficult-probably impossible
to get sufficient volume of air
through the incline to the lowest work.
ings Of the mine to keep the temper
ature down satisfactorily. 1t would
be necessary, to achieve this essential
object to have direct communication
to the surface. The incline shafts are
designed to work to a depth of $500
feet on the incline-that lis, at No.
2 shaft to the 21st level, and at No. /
shaft to the oath level, leaving in each
case a further length of about 5000
feet on the dip to reach the southern
boundary.
Advantage Of New Shaft.
It has been decided that, on the score
of high cost and efficiency, new cir
cular shaft from the surface is the
best method of dealing with the prob
lem. The cost of sinking and tenn
porary equipment is estimated at
!, 239 900; and for permanent equip
ment for a large tonnage further
C 1872 900 would be required. The exact
depth of the shaft cannot be estimated
until the reef is intersected, but pro-
vision will be made to reach depth
Of 1000 feet if necessary. The time re-
quired for sinking the shaft will be
about five years, and another two
years beyond that will be necessary
for development connections-tha is, 8
period of seven years will elapse be,
fore stopping operations can be started
Any attempt effectively to develop this
southern area with the present incline'
would fail. The slowness of incline
shaft sinking, and it's eventual ex.
pense; the cost of added equipment
underground for the rehandling of thu
ore; the heavy maintenance costs o
the shafts at depth; and the ventila
ton difficulty are all factors which
combined point to the distinct advan
tage of new vertical shaft from thu
surface.
