DEPEW, Sc, TELLS PRESS
CLUB SECRET OF YOUTH

How to Get There and How to
Stay There" or the Secret of Feeling
and Looking Young" was the sub
ject of talk last night by Chauncey
M. Depew, eighty-six years old. IA
nous after-dinner speaker and ex-
Senator from New York, to members
Of the National Press Club and their
friends.
When the venerable gentleman from
New York had concluded PROFOUND
ing his theory OF perpetual youth, his
auditors were slightly nonplussed as
to the exact details of the prescrip-
tion, but the exuberant spirit of the
"young-old" man became contagious
among them.
Mr.. Depew recounted some or his
experiences with old men he had met
and said his search for the secret of
eternal youth was quite as unsatis-
factory as his explanation.
"Be yourself, be natural. and have
hobby" declared the speaker In
an effort to satisfy the inquiring
glances OF his audience. "Uncle Joe
and myself have politics as hobby"
he said, land that never goes out OF
date like other hobbies. There al
ways Ia something in II that delights
and entertains and keeps us young"
'Uncle Joe" Cannon in introducing
Mr.. Depew likened him unto that
which the law forbids us to manufac-
ture or sell-he grows better with
age"

ARGUMENT ON WHO WON
WAR CAUSES HOUSE TILT
Row Ensues When Speaker Gillette
Refuses to Extend Time For
l.. Attack on G. o. p.

Speaker Gillette finds that censor
ing leading Democrats in the Hotse
for attacking the Grand Old Party
doesn't always pay as a time-saving
device.
BY refusing to recognize Congress-
nina Byrnes of South Carolina for
ten minutes longer, Speaker Gillette
embroiled the House in a good old
fashioned family row that lasted one
hour.
But the Speaker was obstinate and
refused to yield his point and the
Democratic colleagues OF Mr.. Byrnes
were just as obstinate In insisting
that the attack on the G. o. p. should
continue. As a compromise, the
Speaker allowed Mr.. Brynes to ex-
tend his remarks into the Record.
Speaker GILLETTE sat down SO hard
on Mr.. Brynes that the South Caro-
linian, in a fne display of sarcasm,
asked permission IL he might be al
lowed to remain in the House. With
all his New England dignity at his
command, the Speaker calmly ignored
the request.
And all because Mr.. Byrnes had
challenged the investigating commit
tee to summon General Pcrshing and
learn from him that which you do
not seem to know-that we won the
war"

SCHOOL CRISIS TO
Be DEBATED HERE
Cabinet Members to Take Part
In National Meeting of
Educators.

What Is regarded as a serious crisis
In American public education will be
presented to a gathering of the ma
tion's business men. public officials.
educators. club women. farmers, and
labor leaders, called by DR.. p. P. Ciax-
ton, United States Commissioner of
Education, to be held in Washington,
May 1921.
That one-half the teaching posi-
tions in the United States are made
quately fllled because of the low
salaries paid and the better oppor-
tunities outside, and that there is
an insufficient number of buildings in
which to carry on teaching, Is the
declaration of the commissioner.
An inquiry made by the Bureau OF
Education in January showed that
$4,000 teachers positions in the pub
lie schools of the country were then
vacant because the teachers to fill
them could not be procured, and that
more than AZ, 900 positions were filled,
in order to All them at all. by teach
ers whose qualifications were below
the minimum standards of require
ments in the several States. 1t Is
the estimate of Commissioner Clax-
ton that more than SOC. 900 of the $780,
900 school teachers of the country are
today "below any reasonable mini
mum standard of qualifications.
Emergency Serious.
"The emergency in education in the
United States arising out Of the pres
ent and prospective shortage Of teach
ers, the necessity for large increases
in funds for the support of schools of
all kinds and grades, and the need for
adjusting programs for education to
the requirements of the new era is, /
believe, so great as to justify the
calling of a national conference Of
representative citizens to consider the
pressing problem of education from
the standpoint OF statesmanship,"
said DIR. Claxton, in explaining the
forthcoming meeting here.
Thirty-one governors will send
State Representatives to the confer
ence Representatives of Rotary
clubs, woman's clubs, farm organiza-
tions, chambers of commerce, city
governments and boards OF education
are expencted to bring the attend
ance up to 1900.
Among those who have promised to
address the conference are: Sir Auck-
land Geddes, British ambassador; DIR.
Jacobo Varela, minister from Uru-
quay; Franklin d. Roosevelt, Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy; Franklin
h. Lane. former Secretary OF the In
terror; William L. Harding, governor
OF Iowa; Carl L. Milliken, governor
Of Maine: Robert A. Cooper, COVER
nor of South Carolina; Hoke Smith.
Senator from Georgia.; Simeon d.
Fess. Representative from Ohio; HOT
ace NJ Towner, Representative from
Iowa; Matthew Woll. vice president
of American Federation of Labor; the
Rt. Rev. Thomas J. Shahan, Catholic
University of America; the Rt. Rev.

of the supreme council of the Epis-
copal Church. and others.
