The Real thIete
From the Christian Herald

An athletic authority says 81 is the
maximum age for a good athlete. Pr
haps most people have noticed that pro-
fessionai athletes wear themselves out
young. P:ize fighters, sprinters and cir
Gus performers quit in carly prime. But
are these The real athletes? How much
more true an athlete is the well preserved
farmer, who. at 60, can pitch as much hay
as his son or grandson? The best athlel-
iclsm is that which holds through the
ripper years and enables a man to sit or
MS horse as erectly at 60 as at 20. The
KIND of atiileticism that fails AT 35 Is the
wrong kind Of athieticisnn. 1T is the tense,
violent, virtuoso sort of skill in mere spec.
tacular accomplishment. The proof of
real athlcticism is health and activity in
Old age. Happy and healthful Old age 10
the final proof Of right living.

Wouldn't Keep SUGAR He Found.

Washington has another honest
man. He's Edward B. Maddox, who,
after suffering for the last two months
from the sugar famine, turned $40
pounds OF the precious stuff" over
to the Washington police. He had
found a barrel OF granulated sugar
near the %substation Of the Potomac
Electric Company. Evidently the bar.
rel had been dropped by q truck. Mad
dox has been ahle to get less than two
pounds Of brown sugar a week, he
said. The amount of sugar he found,
on the wal basis. would have lasted
him four years. he was not regret
full, however, that he had turned the
sugar over to tho police TO find its
rightful Observation-Disclosures Times.
