his kind.
Mrs. Fonda Is native Of Water
town, but has lived In New York
and Detroit. She was born here
December II, 1881, the daughter
Of Benjamin K. and Lydia Mack
Gurnee, who were among the early
settlers Of this north country.
When twenty years old she was
married to John H. Fonda, then a
farmer, but in later life a gene
alogist. They lived on a farm in
this section until forty years ago
when they moved to Detroit where
they made their home for eighteen
years. twenty-five years ago they
moved to New York where Mr..
Fonda was employed by various law
firms as genealogist. He died two
years ago and Mrs. Fonda returned
to her native city.
Mrs. Fonda was living in New
York when she observed her
seventy eighth birthday and big
reception was given in her honor
at the Presbyterian Church, Thir-
teenth Street and Seventh Avenue,
of which the Rev. Mr.. Hoadley was
pastor at that time.
From the time I was married
until Mr.. Fonda and I moved to
Detroit we always lived on farm, y
sal1 Mrs. Fonda. II always did
all of my own work, that is, the
housework and such of the other
work about the farm as a farmers
wife usually did in those days We
had fourteen cows. l took care Of
them and made butter which was
sold in the city here. There was
plenty Of work for the farmers
wife In those days, for there were
none Of the labor-saving devices of
to-day. / once had hired girl for
three weeks, but that was all the

one can't expect to be able to work
and TO burn the midnight oil in a
ballroom or cabaret, too. Nor can
one get proper and beneficial ex-
ercise spending the afternoon with
the dressmaker or at a neighbor-
hood tea.
THAT circumstances Of life make
it impossible for many women to
take up line of work from which
they would derive physical benefits
is a probable fact, but many of
them could do much more than they
do in exercising. In my opinion
horseback riding is the very best
kind of exercise. 1t gives a perfect
and thorough massage to the entire
system, not only to the muscles but
to all the vital organs, as we'll as
the tissues, nerves, brain, blood YES
sells and ligaments.
"Those who regularly are prac-
ticing horseback riding will not be
troubled with sluggish liver or bill
iousness due to constipation, for
the exercise in the saddle is above
all others an intestinal stimulant.
Nor under normal diet conditions
will the continual rider ever suffer
from the tortures Of indigestion, as
the exercise is most direct and
active tonic to the digestive func-
tions.
"It greatly encourages, II not
compels, deep breathing, which in
creases the supply of oxygen and
SO develops and strengthens the
lungs, which, in turn, cleanse the
blood.

assistance I ever had. OF course,
the farmwork was hard, and at
times it tested even my disposition,
but somehow I could usually see a
bright side to any trouble which
might come up and could nearly
always find cause to smile.

dency to see sunshine whether there
are dark clouds overhead or not. I
believe that plenty of hard work,
little worry, and an appetite that
does not exclude good things to eat,
added to a steady habit of taking

years. are responsible for my youth

morning, for if one gets up smiling
it will be easier to do so throughout
the whole day. Smiling makes me
feel very cheerful and it has a
power to influence others to smile,
too. Don't ever worry; let things
take their course. Worrying never
helps bit, and it usually aggra-
Yates matters
II have always believed in plenty
Of outdoor exercise and real hard
work. l am not able to take as
much exercise as l could a few
years ago and have had to forego
some of the more strenuous sports,
but I still enjoy horseback riding
immensely and 1 am not yet too old
to indulge in the sport.
"The poor health and short life
Of many American women, believe,
are due to the fact that they do not
pay enough attention to taking
proper exercise, and also to lack

hard work in early life as
the things productive of long life
and good health is Mrs. Mary
Amelia Fonda, who celebrated her
eighty-eighth birthday December
II. She is a guest at the Henry
Keep Home, in Watertown, pri-
vate home for aged persons.
Mrs. Fonda is an optimist of the
most cheerful kind. She gets up
with smile in the morning, smiles
when her playful saddle horse tries
to dismount her and is still smiling
when she bids good night and
pleasant dreams" to her fellow
guests.
Seated in regulation mans sad
die, wearing masculine coat and
trousers, Mrs. Fonda is a familiar
figure each morning riding about

the parks. Her mount is as spirited
as his mistress, for he is Harry, the
thoroughbred English show horse,
formerly owned by Frederick S.
Flower, Of New York, nephew of
the late Governor Roswell P.
Flower. The horse Is handsome
animal, beautifully proportioned
and milk white in color. He was
given to the institution by Mr..
Flower some years ago. Harry is
one of the most noted horses in this
part Of the state and has a reputa-
tion that Is nearly national, for
with other animals from the Flower
stables he has appeared in the Mad
ison Square Garden show, at New
port and Orange. 1t is said that
he has won more blue ribbons in

But NO,u Reborn

This Is the domain that has been
rediscovered under the whip and
spur Of the Eighteenth Amend
ment. The project was abandoned
twenty-five years ago because the
Legislature at Albany decided to
allow twenty rounds Of refined pu-
gilism within the jurisdiction Of the
state, and as soon as this decision
was reached public interest in the
new Atlantis Jagged. But the Anti
Saloon League has given it new
life. The only thing that could kill
the scheme this time, it is said,
would be the repeal Of the Eight
eenth Amendment.

No Legal Barrier

Eminent lawyers consulted by the
promoters of Atlantis have given
their sanction to the plan. One oe
these said:
atlantis is without the jursdic-
ton of the government of the United
States. The only thing it is neces-
sary for the owners Of the island
to do is to conduct their affairs in
such way as not to be considered
a public nuisance. In the event that
they did conduct themselves and
their affairs in that manner, it is
evident that the United States
could easily find means to suppress
them. For example, they could
tighten up the shipping laws so as
to make access to the island i'm
possible. No one would cross the
ocean from Europe to visit Atlantis.
Hence, if it could not be reached
from convenient port in this coun-
try it would be a commercial failure
and would cease to exist.
"1t would be impossible, also, to
set up a separate government as a
definite and independent sovereignty
on the island, for the United States
could not tolerate an independent
nation established at the entry to
our greatest port and harbor.
Hence, Atlantis must always remain
no mans land Moreover, citi
zens Of the United States cannot
voluntarily throw OFF their citizen
ship and establish a new nation in
some other place. The only way
they can discard their American
citizenship is by swearing allegiance
to some other existing government.
ruler or state. And as there is no
government, ruler or state of At
lantis there is nothing for them to
swear allegiance to. Hence. they
must remain citizens Of the United
States, but owners Of an island out
side the jurisdiction of any existing
sovereignty.
within these limits the project
of Atlantis is entirely feasible, and
neither the Eighteenth Amendment
nor any other provision Of the Con
stitution or the amendments there.
to would apply to the island. The
whole thing would depend entirely
on public sentiment. If public
sentiment demanded it, the United
States could take possession of the
island by right Of might, which is
the only right under which it could
act. There is no law to apply to
such case. The future Of Atlantis
therefore, rests on public sentiment ="
"Now, as to Atlantis as a busi-
ness proposition said the pro-
moters.
"Ah-h-h-h!" exclaimed the .r;
nent counsel. while Cresus turned
over in his grave.
