WOMEN LOVE LIFE;
"A. AFTER THRTY-FIVE
(By United Press)

Z
London. (By Mail) Cheer UP,
women! The first thirty-five years
of life are the worst. j
According to DR.. Josiah Oldheld,
who has made a lifelong study OF
women and their woes, women are
happiest and. at their best from the
age of thirty-five onward. "t:
1.-The popular idea that the young
woman is queen of the earth and has
the world at her feet is fallacy.'
DR.. Oldfield confided to a gathering
of medico-legal authorities. This
discoveries based not. on mere theory
but on the comparative number OF
men and women suicides after the
age of thirty-tive. $3.50 e..
"Life undoubtedly becomes more
pleasant and attractive to women att
er they have reached this age. More
young women commit suicide be-
tween the ages Of fifteen and thirty
Ave than young men, but once thirty
five is attained the position is en-.
tirely reversed.
men suicides are largely in the
majority"
DR.. Oldfield thinks the reason wO.
men are so much happier after thir'
ty-five is because they have passed
the ideals of girlh6od and reached
disfllusionment. They have reached

AS he rose from a chore boy and a
saddlers apprentice to be a lawyer
and Judge Of the Supreme court OF
Tennessee, he cast aside the dissipa-
lions of his careless youth, but he
never lost the spirit Of the .clansman
or subdued his ungovernable>te temper:
A bare catalog Of his Quarrels and
fights is too long to be given here. In
most Of them he was fred with the
conviction that he was defending the
name Of his wife. This had been
brought into question only by his own
characteristic imprudence, when he
fell in love with his landlady's daugh-
ter, while she was yet married to an
other, and when he srashly wed her
without waiting to verify the mere ru-
NOR that her offended husband had
obtained a divorce In a neighborine
state. After two years Of welded life,
the too hasty couple learned that the
woman's first marriage had only just
been dissolved and they had to make

notes that not one-half have come into

considering the earth's crust as a
whole, though they are so thinly scat

looked and hard to extract. But when
ever one of them proves valuable it Is
soon found available. A systematic

Mystery Added.
(St. Adams Messenger J

The element of mystery is thrown
into the campaign TO have Governor
Clement call a special session of the
legislature for the consideration of the
Anthony equal suffrage amendment to
the federal constitution. Mrs. Lillian
Olzendam, who has been on the govern
or's trail for long time, has announced
that the case is not hopeless; that Gov
ernor Clement says that he will call a
session if enc condition is complied with.
And there's the nub of the mystery. The
governor doesn't say publicly what the
condition is. Mrs. 0lzendam is not di-
vulging it to the public, but promises a
statement within a few days One gath
ers that the condition is difficult but not
absolutely impossible. Mrs. Olzendam
warns the workers for suffrage to get
ready for good hard work. She is deter
mined to meet the condition if possible.
On the surface of things, this is a strange
situation. What there is in a public
proposition that has to be kept secret is
hard to understand and the net result
OF the whole affair is to increase the pop
ular interest in the suffrage cause in this
state and to focus still more closely the
public eye on the governor. People are
interested to find out just what he is up
to. Ii he names an impossible condition
or one that is possible only in theory
he will still further weaken his position
on this question. If, on the other hand
his condition is proper one; one that
reveals the serious desire or lack of de-
sire of the state to have action on this
issue, and despite this the suffragists can.
not comply with it, the governor will
have won point. The Republican state
committee must be waiting with anxious
interest to find out what the condition is
The state committee has come out unani-
mously for special session and for rati.
flcatlon. The committee ought, in Justice
to the party and to itself, to lend every
and and assistance to the women in find
ing way to comply with this mystic
rlous condition, whatever it NAV he

Vermont Cheesemaking.

When white grass makes the pasture
white,
And butter needs a carrot tonic;
When ragweed seed invades Your head
And bursts with noises disharmonic;
When cows shrink up about third,
And neighbor children gin to tease
For curds and parings-then it 5 time
To think about a-making cheese
And first you put your setting tub
A-soak to see how fast it's leaking,
When, Pop! the bottom hoop blows up
And sets your sputterphone to speak
ing;
A-next you get the runnet jar.
And scour and scald it all you
please
OH yes; there s quite lot to do
To get in shape for making cheese.
And then YOU drag the cheesepress out
And wash it up in thirteen waters.
And prop the platform where it stands
Before the dumb contrivance totters;
Then Johnny crawls way underneath
Upon his anxious hands and knees.
To find the stone that weights one pole
That turns the press and shapes the
cheese.
The basket, followers, paddles. hoops,
Afeel the scrub brush next in order.
And some folks run cheesecloth hem
To hold the Rawlings round the bor-
der;
1ou then rescreen the cheesesafe door,
And make the button turn with ease
Oh. it s knack to get-the hang
Of fixing up for making cheese
You hunt the special table next
On which to do the daily turning:
Twill be change from skimming milk
And always and forever churning;
And last you pick a bunch of sage.
A down there near the cherry trees.
And find your little pointed knife
And then you re fixed for making
cheese.
Then when the cheeses come along,
j My! ain t it fun to pat and oil 'em t;
Most any other hands than yours
Would have tendency to spoil 'em,
Each cheese asserting on its board
They beat the Neufchatels and Bries !;
There s nothing more to do but hope
Your man is mazing fond of cheese.

LUXURY IN THE AIR
manufacturers Now Paying Attention
to Airplane Comforts

The airplane has passed all experimental
stages and is now taking its place with the
big commercial industries Of the world
according TO Charles :. Torpey, who
arrived at the Hotel McAlpin recently
after attending the opening of the air
show IN Chicago He said this was proved
by the attention now being given the air
plane IN the way Of upholstering and the
creature comforts of the passengers, rather
than the further improvements OF the
mechanical parts
Since the signing of the armistice the
energies OF the airplane companies have
been devoted to the development of Deace
planes, such as will be demanded by the
pioneer sportsmen. aerial tourists and
commercial users To the lessons learned
IN the building of the hundreds of sea
planes and flying boats for the navy has
been added the information obtained in
constant experiments in the factory and
IN the air during the fourteen months
since the war ended. One of the results Of
this union of war and peace experience is
the three-passenger cabin flying boat, ex-
hlbted by the ,Aeromarine company which,
according to Mr. Torpey, has all the com
forts of the sedan, and the wings besides.
1t is a good sign when an arplane
manufacturer starts to worry about up
holstery and spring Seats said Mr. Tor
pey, for it shows more forcibly than any
other indication that airplanes have quite
passed the embryonic stage and have start

I'll the automobile manufacturers got their
motor cars IN good mechanical order that
they. turned to the upholsterer for as
sistance in identifying their products.
The problem of comfort, protection from
the noise of the motor, the rush of the
air, and the cold of the higher attitudes
has been solved, just as the older pro-
blems of strength, endurance, safety and
motor reliability were solved.
Zone of the most interesting flying
boats at the show was three passenger
pusher flying boat with a speed of IS miles
an hour. The passengers sit in the body of
the hull just in front of the wings, the
pilot sitting in the bow with the other
two side by side behind him. Above them
rises the roof of the cabin, constructed of
transparent celluloid sheets firmly set in
strong frames.
There view is unobstructed. The
stream-lining of the cabin lines prevents it
from materially slowing down the speed of
the boat. The entire cabin is finished in
fine blue leather with polished mahogany
trimmings. The seats, with sLring backs,
are of similar leather The usual comforts
of well-equipped closed automobile are
provided The exterior of the boat, In
