DON'T GROW OLD.

The theory that man of forty is
practically dead from the hat down
which was promulgated a few years
ago, has been shot as full of holes as
a quarters worth of Swiss cheese.
The young tykes used to smile in
perfectly intelligent manner when
somebody mentioned the name of a
man over forty and would call him
an old podger or an old prune or a
shellfish or a dodo or something
Iequally pleasant.
And the lads over forty got to be-
lieving it themselves and began 60
ing around with Santa Calus whiskers
and stopped shoulders and began do
ing their tombstone shopping. They
were particularly interested in cas-
ket advertising and refused to believe
that they could play more than two
holes of golf in one day.
Then a miracle happened and the
men over forty went to the barber
shop as one man and had the lace
curtains removed and got badger
haircuts.
Then they went to their tailors,
had wasp-waist suits made and took
their places in the world. Today a
man of forty is just budding into
maturity, and the way he has been
crowding the young ginks off the
sidewalk lately is remarkable.
1t takes very wise young skate
in the twenties to attract dinner ta-
bic attention away from the old birds.
The latter are rowing, golfing and
even prize fighting, and the way they
are running away from the field in
business way is the miracle of the
lage- &?
They also seem to be taking the
lead in the marriage business, and
the divorce courts, if that is any
thing to be proud of.
Not only that. but the men of fif-
ty who have been considered old by
the men of forty, are waking up and
the men in the fifties are running
things political the world over. The
tottering old wrecks of sixty, who
were almost extinct few years ago,
are popping up into prominence in
every field, from sports to automo-
bile and taXicab accidents.

BUSY STREET CORNER SAFEST
Logical Reason Why There Are Few
Accidents Where the Traffic
Is the Heaviest.

"You must have lots of accidents
here" said friend of Traffic Com
missioner Harriss the other day as
they were passing one Of the most
congested corners of the city. I'm
not surprised either" he added as he
saw large touring car come sud
denly to halt less than half foot
from passing pedestrian.
The commissioner shook his head.
That's where you're wrong" he re-
piled. mot only are there not more
but there are actually less accidents
here in proportion to the amount of
traffic that goes by than almost any
other place in New York. If you'll
think IA minute you'll See the reason
for il, too. Where the street is more
or less quiet and deserted person
crossing the road is less apt to look
for approaching vehicles. Where they
are always passing, however, he is al
ways on the lookout. The theory
works both ways. While the pedes-
3rian keeps a close watch on the
stream Of traffic, the automobile
driver also keeps tab on the con
tinous file Of pedestrians in his way.
On comparatively quiet street both
pedestrians and cars are exceptions
and accidents are bound to occur.
