LENGTHENING AGE.

John w. Barth, an insurance expert
in Omaha, tells a gathering of insurance
men that some day human beings may
have life expectation of 300 years 1t
is open to debate whether that will do the
insurance companies any good. The pros
pect nevertheless, is full of interest, even
if it cannot be accepted as a foregOne
conclusion.
Mr.. Barth bases his prophecy on
proved facts and present progress. He
shows that in the last so years the Ru-
man race has added 10 years to the life
of the average man, and he sees no rea-
son to doubt that the next half-century
will bring a similar gain. That will
mean the extension of the life pinnacle
to IS years. We are already eight years
ahead of Solomon's three-seore and ten.
Eventually, according to this view, we
may rival Methusaleh.
Does anybody want to live 300 years
Not unless his relatives and friends do
There is nothing Ionelier than to live on
alone into new age, among strange peo-
! pie with new and different interest and
outlook. But if we could all grow to SOC
as gradually and naturally as we grow
now to 20 or so. with a century of youth
and another century of middle age, what
might not the human race accomplish?

WRENCHEs AND LUNCHES.

Dorothy Garfield Fisher tells in a cur
rent magazine of trying to find out how
men learn how to vote. Her friends do
not know how they reach their conclu-
sions about this candidate or that. Us
ually it comes to gotta bunch he's no
good" or gotta bunch he'd be on to the
job
In the same way, she says. if anything
goes wrong with an automobile, any pass
ing man will 'have a huneh."
1t is not, she maintains, because men
ARE made that way" She had observed
that where the broker is helpless, the
garage man will have an instant and
probably correct bunch. The broker,
looking at stock-market quotations
which mean nothing to the garage man or
the lady, will have a bunch that such a
stock is going up.
Mrs. Fisher maintains that men "get
that way from going where lunches
grow. They begin by handing the wrench
to the workman and watching him work.
Later they talk about engine troubles
among their friends, who have also
handed wrenches, and eventually they
pile up mass of conscious and subcon-
scious knowledge which results in
lunches"
Women, she says, ought to get out of
the car and hand wrenches when some
thing goes wrong. That way they learn
something. BY sitting in the tonneau in
naughty isolation they learn nothing and
are bad sports. Politics, she says, may
be learned in the same way.
So, as a matter of fact, can anything
else.

Berries, Apples and More Berries.

Did you ever in your years of ex-
perience aboard this mundane ship. re-
collect seeing or hearing or reading of so
much fruit gathered and plucked ''out
of season. as there has been this fall?
We never did.
There have been apple blossoms re-
ported reluctant to leave the branch
already blessed with mature fruit. there
are luscious red raSpberries found every
day side by side with green berries and
blossoms. Fresh Strawberries and cream
adorn the table each day of one Addison
county farmer, and we do not know what
else. Addison county seems particularly
fortunate in staving off the killing blight
of winter, but still we do not have the
monopoly. An energetic New York
Times reporter recently discovered "a
perfect nest of luscious. red wild straw
berries on a farm over in Middleton,
n. ].
We shall expect later to hear of some
enterprising fruit hunter finding a NEST
of Strawberries, and blossoms, too, snugly
repOsing under about four feet of snow.

"POWER OF ATTORNEY +"

The head of one of the railroad brother
hoods recently explained that the men, by
their strike vote, did not necessarily indi-
cate that they meant to go on strike
The leaders, he says, knowing that they
had a hard fight ahead of them, asked
for a strike vote, to be called at our dis
cretion." The resulting vote, he adds
was "a vote of confidence, a power of at
torney.r
This confirms a general impression. II
also opens the eyes Of the public to I
practice that is full of potential danger
Men voting in that way seldom want OF
expect a strike, and vet give their lead
ers absolute power to declare one in theil

A contributor to the Boston Tran

ial in the "'Turners Falls Reporter,

finds himself in accord with the Turner's
Falls writer in lamenting the disappear
ance of oxen from New England farms.

As it is we doubt if tractor can ever
furnish youngster half as much exer
else and amusement as might be OBJ
tanned from a pair of Devon steers,
which in their day were among the finest
and most intelligent Of quadrupeds.
To be sure oxen are not altogether
extinct as 80 odd yoke were shown at
country fair held in this state about
a month ago but they are passing and as
yet the small farmer has no substitute
for them. The horse, which is by no
means holding its own. was never the
equal of the OK which fitted far better
into a New England landscape than did
the swifter animal
A pair of well trained oxen were some
thing more than animals TO their owner,
they were his comrades, none the less
desirable because they were generally
silent. They had less speed than the
horse but they were more dependable
and were not frightened at trifles and
if their driver taught them many things
they in turn gave him daily lessons in
patience. 1t is a great pity that they are
not likely to return and that the farm
ers who once raised and trained them
are now near the vanishing point.

negotiations with a foreign power, should

land wants every man and woman in this
CITY to be able To read and write Accord
ing to the census figures there are 266 I'LL
terates in the csty and heproposes per-
sonal touch plan to remedy the condi-
ton. He would secure from the census
bureau the names of those classed rs
|illiterate and would invite them to a
might school if directors approve of the
project.
1t is a very simple and direct way of
going about the matter Tt is worth a
ton of talk and sleploring that there are
those who can. not. in this generally
enlightened age, read and write 1t is a
plan that other Vermont communities
ought to adopt with profit 1t is this
direct action that will secure results. If

eliminating illiteracy. in this manner
Vermont would soon lead the Union on
this score.

BE CAREFUL

BE careful of the things you do,
And you'll live to maybe 100.

Or enything pOinty or tin,
And close your mouth wen you're in a

Or germs will wander in.

Jest to find out the result,
And never pick out a pieeceman
Wen you wunt someone to insult.
Don't step on males with your shoes off
Or pore vinegar on your ice ceam,
Or go GROUND patting strange horses
No matter how innocent they seem.
Fall gently wen you half to fall
But stay ware you are wen you're high.
And if bullets start to wiz past you
Don't wait to find out wy.
