lection Of Charles Evans Hughes as secretary
Of state Mr.. Hughes is recognized as one Of
the nations most brilliant lawyers. He is
known as man widely informed on in
ternational affairs and to display rare judy
ment and calm in critical situations. The sec
retAsyship Of state is the most important post
in the presidential cabinet, and it will be par
tcularly trying in the next few years with
foreign affairs in the unsettled condition that
itis believed they will be because Of the en-
mites and rivalries born Of the World war
Judge Hughes may be trusted not to act
huEfiedly in any situation. He has the judicial
mind. He is thinker, slow to act. but de-
termfned in his purpose once he reaches a de-
cisfOn. Judge Hughes was defeated for the
presidency in 1916 by narrow margin. 1t
wag not that the people considered him the
least unit Of the candidates for the position
that brought about the election Of Mr. Wilson,
but rather was it due to circumstances that
favored the Democratic nominee chief OF
which were the split in the Republican party
and the popularity Of Mr. Wilson's war course
Judge Hughes may not be regarded as one Of
the nation's most popular statesmen, but none
will deny that he is one Of the ablest. He will
bring knowledge dignity and distinction tc
the Office he has been called upon. to fill the
next four years.

A study by Professor Julian Huxley OF
Oxford, . grandson of the great Huxley, has
-eeryed to revive interest in the perennial
question of whether it is possible to keep old
age ct bay and prolong the span of human life
beyond its usual limitations.
The professor makes the port that by al
ternately starving and feeding tplanarian fat
worms whatever they may bel they can be
kept not only within certain definite limits OF
sisestbut also within certain definite limits OF
age. One animal, he states, has thus been kept
OF the same age, that is, the same lively &C.
tvity. the same form, the same type of be-
hsyior, for time during which the rest Of
the brood have passed through 10 generations,

would take us back to Chaucer. Thus, age
