THE PERPETUAL YOUTH fall

THE PERPETUAL YOUTH FAIL
LACY.
The fountain of perpetual youth,
which has been the age-long quest
OF humanity, has been discovered
at last. And 1t isn't a fountain
after all. 1t is a surgical operation,
and the Ponce de Leon who found it
is mo gay. adventurer, but a cold,
hard scientist.
Anyway, it is quite true that
nowadays it is a perfectly simple
matter to have twenty-five or thirty
years Topped off your apparent age.
II you are growing middle-aged,
and have accumulated the wrinkles,
and the downward cast of counte-
nance that are inevitable to your
years, all that you have to do is to
go to doctor who practices facial
surgery.
He will cut a little slit back of
your ears and above your eyes, and
take out a few cores of superfluous
epidermis, and run a few tucks in
the muscles, and execute a little
picOting and fancy embOidering
stitching, and. VOLTA. there you are,
young and beautiful again. Your
eyes are not the dropping eyes of
age, but the wide open, round, Won
derlng eyes Of youth once more.
Your cheeks are full and plump, in
stead of sagging. Your skin doesH
count for in these progressive times
even school girls wear handmade
eomplexions, while as for your hair,
1t is a mere matter of the shade you
prefer.
The miracle has been wrought.
Outwardly. you are sweet-and
twenty. instead of a long way past
forty. 1t is only your soul that is
old, for, alas, no art can rejuvenate
our weary spirits and give us back
the optimism, the enthusiasm, the
Joy in living, the keen appetite for
pleasure that we had when the
heart was young.
So one wonders il the elderly
woman, whom science keeps a per-
petual debutante in looks. does not
ind her restored youth a boomerang
instead OF a blessing. without
doubt it is a consolation to her van
ity to be young and beautiful once
more, and look the fit companion of
calloN youths, an airy, fairy crea-
ture whom one expects to dance her
satin slippers to ribbons and spend
hours spooning in the moonlight.
but how such a one, with her So
phisticated soul, must yawn behind
her hand at the twaddle of school
boys How her rheumatic bones
must cry out for red flannels and
radiators, and easy chairs, instead
Of incoming in damp places
We all sigh, "Oh that we were
young again!" but in reality there
are not many of US who would take

Good Morning,
Judge!
By RUDOLPH PERKINS.

He Drank, He Swore; Then He Paid
One dark night George Rice
sneaked up a dark alley and bought
a half pint of something from a still
darker brother.
George well knew the gentleman
who worked so mysteriously, he
said. but never for a moment did
he think he was going to have a
trick played on him.
He took one swallow out of the
bottle and it nearly took the top OF
his head of. He thought he had a
half pint of rare old stuff.
He threw the bottle away and
wobbled up the street. A police
man who knew him warned him to
go on home while he still had
strength to walk.
Instead George began to blame
the cop for his mistake.
He followed this up with a string
OF very bad words which made the
cop blush. So he took George with
George could not tell what was in
the bottle, but he thought it had
the strength and kick of a third
rail-.
The court fined him $40 for swear
ing. The liquor cost SO.
Who Is to BInmet
Nobody but the desk sergeants at
the various precincts know why a
man has to put up $40 collateral to
insure his appearance to pay a 50
fine
AS result, man who has unin-
tentionally violated a law, or an
unimportant police regulation, has
1t rubbed into him several ways.
without saying whose fault it is,
take the case of Fenton Jefferson,
a hacker, charged with not having
his badge in sight.
Jefferson wore his badge under
his coat instead of on top. He had
to dig down and get $40 for col
lateral, lose a half day from his
work to hand the clerk of the court
a SO, bill. o.
Here's a case that looks all right,
although totally different.
Frank Chapman speeded over the
District line the other day from
Maryland without seeing the line.
He. was doing 81 miles per hour, so
Policeman Hurfurth said. He was
coming from Marlboro and whizzed
across the line before he knew it.
The court took IS from him.
Very simple.
Those Letters Got His Goat.
1t was the day before Christmas
and there was a terrible rough
house in the home of Dennis Jack
sen. newcomer in town.
Jackson had received word that
his girl, who lived a few doors
away, had been writing letters to
some of the boys who roomed in
his house.
Consequently he almost cleaned
out the bunch. Only one Of the men
thought enough of his wounds to
nave Jackson arrested. The Others
appeared as witnesses for the in
jured man.
You had no right to become in
suited because your girr chose to
write letters to other men" the
court warned him.
'.iAh does not mind the letter
writin' part" the man explained,

JAPAN PROMISES
TO QUIT SHANTUNG
BUT ADHERES TO FUNDAMENTAL
POLICY IN THE FAR
EAST.
WILL EVACUATE SIBERIA
Il Is Reported in Toxic That Japan
Has Already Inaugurated Nego-
tions With the Chinese
Government.

Tokio.-Japan is to evacuate ST.
IBERIA and restore Shantung to China
"at the earliest possible moment" ac-
cording to a statement by an official
of the Foreign Office following adj
journment of the colonial conference
which has been in session here for a
week. This, he said, means that
there will be mo change in Japan's
fundamental policy in the Far East.
The government has decided not to
publish any of the conclusions reached
by the conference for the present. The
conferees included high Japanese mill
AIRY and civil authorities from ST.
IBERIA, Manchuria, Korea and Kwang-
rung, and was presided over by Pre-
.nier Hara.
While officials generally declined
say whether Japan will take any
rev positive steps in Siberia and
Slantung, they voiced the hope that
Gina was willing to discuss arrange
J ents for restoration. They empha-
zed that Japan sought nothing in
e.;change, but must have some assur-
;.lces that Japanese residents and in
forests in Shantung will be fully pro-
ccted. It was added that the absence
{ responsible authority in China with
hich to deal is the greatest handi-
cap.
The impression prevails in Toxic
that Japan has actually inaugurated
negotiations with the Chinese govern
ment. Meanwhile leading japanese
newspapers insist that Japan will
withdraw her troops from the Shan
tung railroad to Tsing-Tau without
awaiting China's acceptance of ia
pans standing offer to open restora-
ton negotiations.

JUST MATTER OF DEDUCTION
As the Boy Explained 1t, the Finding
of Horse Was Really Quite
Simple Matter.

Speaking of the development of tho
storytelling talent in youth, Richard
Bennett, the actor, is fond of relating
this incident:
Some years ago a prominent citizen
of town lost horse. 1t was not
much of horse. In fact, it was blind
in one eye and spawned. But, per-
haps as relic, Bennett says, the
prominent citizen wanted the horse.
SO he advertised, offering So reward
for its return. The town half-wit,
boy of nineteen. with a harelip, came
one afternoon leading the horse, with
strap about the size of shOestrfng,
to the prominent citizens door. The
horses owner was pleased.
'Now," said he kindly, seeming a
good narrative and perhaps an adj
venture NOW, my boy. here's your
So; and I'll give you another 50 If
you'll tell me just how you found my

WARNS AGAINST GERMANS

Oppeln.-If left alone the Polish In
surgent movement in Upper Silesia to
capture the land lost in the plebiscite
would disintegrate, in the opinion of
allied officials here.
Powerful economic forces which the
insurgent leaders seem unable to with
stand are working toward destroying
harmony in their ranks. They are Gre
ating situation which threatens to
become acute within a few days.
Expert allied advice sent out from
the insurgent territory warns against
imminence of a German counter Of
fensive, saying that such move would
be certain to precipftate civil war and
would bolster up the Korfanty organi'
cation, which under ''the less solidify-
ing influence of peace would fall to
pieces of its own accord"
Already many of the miners are
turning anti-Korfanty under the eco
nomic stress. They are accusing him
of compelling them to strike over a
question they did not understand. Bit
terness is increasing food is diminish
ing, and prices are climbing rapidly.
The miners are clamoring for their
pay, which Korfanty is unable to fur
nish.
Korfanty's forcible recruiting is
reaping a harvest of wildcats. Many
desertions are reported every day,
and have met many Poles who said
they were deserters from Korfanty's
army.
The food situation is not yet acute,
but crisis is approaching rapidly. It
has ben officially reported that the
insurgents have made food rates at
Pless and also on isolated places in
the industrial area.
Korfanty's boast that he could find
an immediate market for Silesian coal
in England has not been carried out
and coal is accommodating in piles, but
is not reaching the market.
