Growing old gracefully is a thing which most people find it very difficult to oo. Yet it adds so much to the charm of approaching age that it seems strange more of us cannot form the habit. Someone has said that blossom time cannot last forever-it must pass for some of us, and to try and stay it only flinders the seed time and harvest, each one of which are quite as satisfactory if we could but acquire the faculty of growing old grace fully.

declared. Ulster, he said, had made a

block 10 the rest Of ireland. He cannot
see much real foundation for the Opt
nism which prevailed, ald ne still was
uncertain where the Irish leaders stood.
The proposed conference. he declared,
was the only thing which stood between
the Govt. and failure. The Secretary,
however, through his declaration that
there would be insistence upon alIegl-
ance to the King. whether as king of
Great Britain or o. Ireland, was con
sidered by many of his hearers to have
virtually held out the prospect to Ireland

OF the League this morning, when the

port. The committee found it was i'm
possible for the League to decide before
hand III detail the various steps OF an
economic, commercial and financial ma
ture that should be taken in each case.
It proposed that the Council OF the
League make recommendations to the
members Tor a plan for joint action,
when necessity should arise. Inter
ruption Of diplomatic relations would be
first limited to the withdrawal OF the
heads Of diplomatic missions. The com
mlttee held, however, that while con

gressIVely made more stringent. In the
resolutions that were proposed, provision
was made that. certain states might

country, if the conditions wee such
as would involve soecial danger TO
these states. An important question

WITHERS' DEATH
An ACCIDENT IS
LANGD0N' S VIEW

Pueblo, Colo, June S.-The bull
LET that killed Ernest +. Withers,
member of the Pueblo water COM
mission and president of the IRON
CITY Fuel company, Monday night.
probably was fired inadvertently
from outside of his automobile,
Assistant District Attorney l.. b.
Langdon said tonight at the con-
clusion of a session of the coron-
ers Jury investigating the affair,
The inquest was adjourned to Fri
day at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
1.-THE trend of opinion among
those of us who are induirng into
the affair, is decidedly toward an
accidental shooting-either by a
stray bullet fired from a distance,
or A ricoehet shot discharged at
the ground nearby.
"If there was murderous intent,
that intent was not directed against
Mr.. Withers.
1--WE are not clear as to whether
the bullet was fired by a guard or
not. We do not wish to involve
any organization unjustly, so we
are proceeding carefully.
About fifteen witnesses were ex-
amined today. The hearing, which
lasted about three hours, was pre-
sided over by Deputy Coroner Ray
Mccarthy.
