How You Can Keep Young

BY MARIAN HALE
How You Can Keep Young
Losing your grip on youth?
You needn't!
Look at Mrs. Thomas Whiffen. n,
still taking an active part in a the
atrical production!
Every roman al keep young
she says "as long as h retains her
youthful enthusiasms."

The beauty secrets of a girl of
II are interesting, but easily dis
credited on the ground that the real
secret is youth, despite her devotion
to Jones tonic and Smiths cream.
But-when a woman who has
come within three birthdays of being
SO years old makes observations on
the subject of feminine beauty, con
vction goes with her words.
Especially If she has had 60 years
pm the stage and is still successfully
competing with the spring crop of
Broadway beauties.
Such a woman is Mrs. Thomas
Whiffen. a girl of II, and that's why
l asked her for a few timely remarks
on keeping young and beautiful.
II was never a beauty" she be-
gan. $50 / never STAYED up nights
trying to keep what I didn't have.
Instead. I went to bed at night and
got my sleep, arose early and took
plenty of exercise.
I'll tell you something-most
of the actresses you admire on the
stage aren't really beautiful. They
are clever. They make you think
they are beautiful by acting as il
they were.
IA woman soon outlives her flap
per days-at least, she should. II
she hasn't outgrown her baby stare
and still acts like a debutante at 40
she is a pathetic sight.
ITO 1--we keenly and get anything
out of life you've got to experience
and to think. These things will
make you mature and you will show
1t. But maturity has its beauty.
"~Experience, tolerance, under
standing and love combine to make
something which radiates from the
face that is as powerful rs the
beauty of youth.

east Of Ottawa, on the old Chicago

mated the loss to building and con.
tents at 10000. The lightning
struck the building between $50 and
S:45 and as ii flashed thru the hay the
blaze spread rapidly, and soon the
whole structure was mass of flames
The hay proved an ideal place for
the fire To get good start. and tho
the farmers for miles around came to
offer what assistance they could, there
was no chance to save the burning
building The heavy rain that accom-
panied the lightning did not have any
effect on the blazing structure but
II eliminated all chances of the other
buildings catching fire
The reason given for the heavy loss
was that the lower floor was used as
a machinery shed while the top was
full of alfalfa. The farm machinery
was new and all of il was a complete
loss.
The hay helped the fire in its work
and made a big blaze. The fact that
the building was high and stood on
top Of big hill made it possible for
the fire to be seen many miles away.

pie drove out to the fire.
Assistant Fire Chief Stevenson
went to the farm with Chief of Police
Ben Ford, but as they only had the
chemicals they could do very little
good.

covered by insurance and ii could not
be learned today as to whether or
not the Fire Brick company intended

Ottawa Rotary club, in making ar
rangements for an InterCity Meeting,

resentatives from Morris. Princeton,
Streator, La Sale, and Kewanee.
l.. NJ. Bayne, chairman of the local
committee was in charge of the meet
ing and regardless of the heavy storm
and lack of illumination an interest
ing program was mapped out and it
was tentatively agreed to hold a meet
ing at Starved Rock and Deer Park
Tuesday, August 18th. There was a
general understanding among the
clubs that this meeting would be held
some Thursday afternoon. but on ac-
count Of that being big day at these
parks, a change had to be effected
1n local committee made a report
and suggested that of a Thursday af-
ternoon but on account of that being
big day at these parks, a change had
to be effected The local committee
made report and suggested that if
Thursday afternoon was desired by
the other cities, arrangements could
be made to hold this event either in
Ottawa or at Sulphur Lick Springs.
1t was the unanimous desire of all
the Rotarians to invite the ladies and
it is expected that some six or seven
hundred people will be at the state
park to enjoy the various contests,
the banquet and witness the stunts
that will be staged by each club. A
golf tournament will be the main
event and will be played on the Deer
Park course; base ball. tennis, swim
ming, diving, tug-of-war, boating,
speech-making and dancing will keep
the entire delegation busy from one
O'Clock in the afternoon up to and
including the midnight hour.
Ten clubs have been invited to par
ticipate in this Inter-City meeting,
which includes, in addition to those
already mentioned, Pontiac. Peru,
Clinton and Bloomington.
There were fourteen Rotarians from
out of town at last nights meeting
and every club represented guaran-
teed to bring out a good delegation
from their city, leaving the work of
arrangements entirely up to the Otta-
wa club. This means that Chairman
Bayne, Fred Sanders. Melvin French,
H. V. Petit and L. G. Carroll will
have their hands full of work for the
next ten days. and that the ottawa
Rotary club will be given an oppor-
tunity to build up a reputation for the
city and themselves as royal enter
tainers.
