OYSTER BAY, Jan. 6.-Colonel
Roosevelt's career has left such a
vivid impression upon the people of
his time that it is necessary to touch
but briefly uppn some Of the more
striking phasEs OF his varied, in
teresting and strenuous" life to re-
call to the public mind full details
of his many exploits and expert
ences.
Called to the White House in
1901, after President Mckinley had
been assassin@tcd,' Colonel Roose-
Welt, 10 years OF age. became the
youngest president the United States
has ever had. Three years later he
was elected as president by the larg-
est popular vote president has
received.
Thus Roosevelt, sometimes called
man of destiny, served for seven
years as the nations chief magis-
strrte. In a subsequent decade the
fortunes of politics did not favor
him. for. again a candidate for pres
ident-this time leading the Pro-
gressive party which he himself had

with some of the policies of the Re
publican party in 1912-he went
down to defeat, together with the
Republican candidate, William How
ard Taft. Woodrow Wilson, Demo-
crat, was elected.
Colonel Rooscvelt's enemies agreed
with his friends that his life,N his
character and his writings repre-
scented high type of AmericaniSm.
Of Dutch ancestry, born III New
York City on October 81. 1858, in a
house on East Twentieth street, the
baby Theodore was a Weakling. He

the early years of Theodore, Jr.'s
boyhood. was not allowed to inter-

children during the Civil war days.
Climbed Matterhorn
SO frail that he was not priVil-
eyed to associate with the other boys
in his neighborhood, Roosevelt was
tutored privately. in New York, and
during travels on which his parents
took the children abroad. A porch

him with physical exercise with
which he combated a troublesome

slant companion; he kept a diary; he
read so much history and fictional
books of adventure that he was
known as bookWOrn; he took box
ing lessons; he was an amateur nat
uralist: and at the age of II he en-
tered Harvard university. There. he
was not as prominent as some others
in an athletic way. as it is not re-
corded that he made" the baseball
and football teams, but his puny
body had undergone metamorpho-
sis and before graduation he became
one of the champion boxers of the
college. This remarkable physical
development was emphasized by

WHAT Is A BILLION, ANY
WAY?
How the American and British
Billions Vary.
By James IT Collins

~ oCilICS II. AUIlIlS.
One billion dollars" dictated the
boss to Title
! DO you want that in figures?" she
asked.
yes"
But Title hit the cipher key too
many times and wrote:
$1,000 900 100000
1t looked large, even for war fig
ure!
| And it was both wrong and right
as you will see a little later
What is a billion anyway?
Last year, the people of this country
did something which gives a very
good illustration of $1,000. 600 600.
The Treasury Department received
billion dollars from War Savings
Stamps bought by the people Just
who bought them does not matter.
Every man, woman and child in the
United States buying a 25-cent Thrift
Stamp weekly for forty weeks would
have done it-not much of a drain
upon anybody's income, even that of
an Office boy.
Now, it would be impossible for the
people in Great Britain to duplicate
the performance, even if they had a
population as large as our own. There
is not enough wealth in the United
Kingdom to make billion dollars by
English standards. The term billions
never crept into John Bulls war fig.
ures.
We use the French billion, which is
1000, 900 900, whereas the British use
a standard of their own, and their bill.
lion is 100000, 100000.
So that is why Title was both
wrong and right.
billion of anything is whole lot,
whether one measures it by the Brit
ish or American standard But as
war taught us to think in terms of this
big unit, so it has taught US to pro-
duce in terms of billions, and one of
the most interesting measures of our
production and thinking is the com
parative ease with which we as
nation may save up billion dollars
by the purchase of little green slip
of paper, the Thrift Stamp, once a
week for something less than ten
months.
