."DAWDLERs" NOT LONG LIVED
Prominent British Manufacturer Points
| Out That Active Man Of BusI.
ness Reaches Old Age,

Lord Leverhulme, one OF Great
Britain's largest manufacturers, asserts
that more people shorten their lives
by dawdling In England than by
hustling. He is a living proof that
hustling promotes hale old age. He
has always led the strenuous life. and
at 70 is still going strong.
He presided at the annual meeting
OF the British Industrial Safety First
association the other day. In his nd
Dress he drew largely upon his Ameri-
can experience. Steps had been taken
there, he said, to ascertain whether It
was the hustling, busting business
man who was supposed to shorten hfs
days, or the man who crawled and
dawdled through life.
He declared there were men in the
United States today Of 80, so and be-
tween SO and 100. years of age who
were still in good health and actively
engaged in business, whereas men who
had retired early from business had
Shortened their lives thereby.
He thought the crawl Of the Clawdler
was largely instrumental In shortening
the lives Of individuals in Great Brit /.
the more a man worked.
whether professionally or in other vo-
'ations, the more he would conserve
lis life and strength and the life and
commerce Of the country.

D ECENTLY at a silver wedding
AN anniversary Of a prominent New
Yorker the invitations, which were
engraved in silver, contained these
words at one side: "The demands OF
war relief are pressing. We hope for
your presence-not presents-at our
silver wedding anniversary" Among
the guests present at this anniversary
reception were scores of New York's
most noted society folk, the very
people whom we usually look to for
leadership in such matters Of social
usage. So If you are looking for a
precedent in adding to your invita-
tons for anniversary receptions or
other occasions when presents might
be expected some indication of the
fact that you would prefer not to
have them, here it is.
The fact is that often people re-
rrain from having wedding anniver-
sary parties for the simple reason

before Mr.. Fox was clever; he would
not do such a thing now.
So he called on Mr.. Postum and

chickens he would give him two fine
ones to pay for his kindness.
Mr.. Possum said he would and that
he would store them safely away un-

was a cave.
Mr.. Fox trotted back and forth all
night with fat chickens which he put
In the cave under the rock, but he did
not know that as fast as he put them
away Mr.. Possum carried them to an
other part of the woods.
When 1t was almost daylight Mr..
Possum took another chicken and de-
parted for good, and when Mr.. Fox
looked into the cave he found only a
few of the many chickens he had
placed there.
Mr. FoSSum was nowhere to be
found. He had moved bag and bag

hunted until he found him, and the
trouble began.
