The plans Of the physicians, the sanitariums and the

by dealing directly with the organism itself Medical

~tablished itself as q working theory of human rejuve-

specialists were discussing the Voronof plan for post
poning senile decay by the use of ~secretions from the

genie germs as an important cause of premature

savant, held that men grow old mainly because they
expect TO, and that each individual has the remedy
within himself. IF you care to exert your will pow

you can postpone your death far beyond what is
known as the s~criptural age-seventy or eighty years

stress on simple living, ample exercise and good hab-

A FEW on THE ADVANTAGES.

There would be no divided opinion upon the de-
STABILITY of an independent refinery located in Cas-
per. There would be no question as to the advan-
tages accruing in the general industrial situation. So
far as the people of Casper are concerned they are
more than willing for such a contamination of their
hopes. The accomplishment rests upon the shoulders
Of those who have the enterprise in hand.
It would mean a much larger use of natural re-
sources and therefore a greater employment of labor,
investment of large additional capital, increase Of
population and greater development of the city. The
population that would come would be of the skilled
class and therefore permanent and desirable. TIE
competition with established institutions in the same
line, would make for stability in business and wages
and abolish any monopoly that might exist or ensue
where only one concern operated.
Another refinery would bring prosperity in many
different ways; to producers, to labor, to supply con-
Germs, to developers, discoveries and to those who in
vested in the undertaking..
In addition to interests directly concerned, another
refinery would mean prosperity to every business in
terest within the zone of activity and add wealth and
Importance to the state.
II the matter depends upon the people Of Casper
there is a unanimous vote for the proposition.

couRrEsY AND EQUALITY.

we are constrained, however to comment upon the
general attitude of men at the present time toward
women in public places" observes the Andover Towns
man. Undoubtedly there is less 'old-fashioned' cour-
tesy each succeeding year, but is this to be wondered
at, in the light of all the agitation that has gone on in
the last decade in favor of equal suffrage? We are
afraid, and have always felt this way, that the nearer
men and women get to any equality in voting or in
any other way, the pace will be just a bit more rapid
toward an inequality in the grabbing of advantages
wherever they may be seen. In other words it will not
any longer be the natural thing for n man to rise and
give a woman his seat, but it is much more likely to
become the natural thing for the man to reach the
empty seat just a bit more quickly than the woman,
if such a thing is possible, in order that he may have
the comfort that the seat provides. This won't be
confined to riding in the cars, either"

GONE TO THE DISCARD.

As was pointed out by this newspaper at the time
of its passage, Wyomings eugenics law, while possibly
a step in the right direction, was not a constitutional
act nor even an enforceable law. The attorney gen.
eral has now confirmed it by an opinion.
The statute writer in this particular case held n pc
mionial venture, to physical examination but assumed
the bride to be like Mrs. Caesar, above suspicion.
Parties to a marriage who were denied license in
Wyoming because of physical impurity on the part of
the groom found no great hardship in moving over
the state line and having the ceremony performed and
returning at their pleasure.
The eugenics law was simply another instance of
attempting to frame'a law for a specific purpose by
those who did no. know what they were doing or how
to do 1t.
