Americans die too soon. Roose-

years old yesterday, the age at
which q man should begin serious
work. He overtaxed himself, de-
stroyed himself In the effort to
gain health. submitting to severe
physical training in hot weather.
He forgot that the heart bears
all the strain and should bear no

the brain without limit, and the
body temperately.
On ferry boat that runs across
the narrow water from Detroit to
Windsor in Canada. twins were
abandoned in basket.
Next day the mother wrote to
the authorities: II want my babies,
to take care of them. / will do
anything if you promise not to
put me in jail" They said they
wouldn't put her in Jail, but she
couldn't have the babies, and she
must tell the name Of the man
responsible. Then the man got
hold Of the young woman and
kept her from the children. His
sacred name must be preserved
from scandal.
Which is the better, the man
whom such scandal does not really
hurt and who shirks his response

Horace wrote a little poem
many centuries ago, entitled "Ad
Romanoffs." 1t starts with the
statement that contempt for re-
Iipion and corruption of morals
had brought misfortune on Rome.
It complains Of immoral dances;
"The Virgin Marfageable delights
TO be taught the Ionic dances i'm
moral and cherishes unchaste de-
sires from her very infancy"
Not even Elinor Glyn found
this condition among our young
ladies.
The committee on lack OF en-
ployment in Detroit asks manu-
facturers to discharge employed
married women il their husbands
are working. The theory Is that
with so many out of work, two
Jobs are too many for one family.
That may be wise move to
