The resolution in part calls atten-
tion to the spirit of the class Of ~

Will be more likely to receive a part
OF the ,$50,000,00O Rockefeller fund if
it's graduates display desire to "help
themselves" by making substantial
contributions. The resolution, which
is is headed "A Happy New Year to
Cornell by Comedians" reads:
Whereas, The Rockefeller Christ

example of the benefcent EMPLOYMENT
OF accumulated wealth; and,
Whereas Cooperation in such cases
usually means that the beneficiary is
called upon to raise a definite sum in

Whereas, The national REQUIRE

The curiosity of Charles's ou.en

1t is an old observation, based on an
axiom laid down by Schumann, that a

Henry Holt, Hale
At Eighty, g Began
Smoking at Six
Noted Publisher Reaches
''Scotch Whisky Age'' De-
spite Weed and Doubts
Prohibition Will Last

Does tobacco smoking shorten life ?
Henry Holt, the publisher, is afraid
he will not live long enough to deter
mine this important question. Yester-
day, full of youth and vigor, he began
a preliminary celebration Of the eigh-
tieth anniversary Of his birth, which
is to-day.
In the few minutes he had to spare
between special luncheons, conferences
and work yesterday. he outlined some
Of the things he believed had enabled
him to outdo the allotted span Of man.
First, he made this confessions:
Started at Age of Six
II never smoked before 1 was six
years old, and then only at rare in
tervals until I was nearly eleven. For
the last twenty years l have smoked
only after dinner, but-after dinner 1
have smoked all I wanted to-usually
four to six cigars, sometimes Dozen"
Ten years ago Mr.. Holt announced
that he would retire, but day in and
day. out during that decade he has
.,oueH A@.a way ~ Ills olHCe, ana walked
the rest. Since the first announcement
Of his retirement he has doubled the
scope of his firm, and personally
brought out and edited new publica-
tion.
He still has the erect carriage Of a
vigorous slender man of fifty. His
physician yesterday told him that the
reason he kept so young was because
Of his sense Of humor and optimism
He himself declares it is due to laugh
ter and companionship. "I have always
been fond of company, especially at
dinner" he said, "and am satisfied that
the taste tends strongly to longevity.
Life is Greek period-ending as it
began. The infant begins in uncon-
sciousness--in sleep. I am satisfied
that as age comes on the tendency to
maps should not be resisted. but that
ono should be taken even after break
fast, If there is any inclination for It,
and certainly one after lunch"
Mr.. Holt keeps his vigor by indulg-
ing in light exercises every day.
"These done," he said, II give each eye
enough dabs Of hot water to bring the
blood to it, and then get an immediate
reaction with as many dabs of cold
water"
At "Scotch Whisky Age"
He admitted that he had reached
"the Scotch whisky age" and his doctor
insists on tablespoonful Of it at
lunch and dinner. He was told that
wines were bad for gout, "yet so far
does practice sometimes depart from
principle that good deal of it has
failed to do me any harm, and am no
mean goutist.
Perhaps all this experience with
alcohol, except the cider, comes too
late, but ! don't feel quite sure that
prohibition will last long"
Yesterday he entertained the direc-
tors Of his company at luncheon at the
Yale Club.

That there was money buried
for safety during the war be-

back of the citidel, and within
the entrenchments is certain. 1t
: aiso certain that no other mon

along the bluff. Again it is GER

money to be still an ithe ground
and wishing to find it will have
only his pains for his work, for
about twenty years ago two day
