LEADING SCHOOL
TO WIN BANNER
Presbyterian and Methodist Lead
For First Day of School
OF Methods

The first day of the School of
Methods was highly satisfactory All
the Sunday schools in the city were
represented at both sessions. Eight
superintendents and 81 teachers were
present at one or other of the con-
ferences. Besides teachers and Of
ficers in the schools, there were many
others present.
AS announced before, the school
having the largest average attend
ance at the four sessions in proper
ton to the schools enrolment will
receive a banner. The two leading
schools in attendance> after the first
two sessions were: The Presbyte-
rian and First Methodist. The next
three running pretty close behind,
are; First Baptist, Christian and
Episcopal. Today's sessions may
reverse the whole outlook, however.
1t is hoped there will be a larger
delegation today from the Central
Baptist and Lee Street Methodist.
Both of them have chance yet of
winning the banner. Come tonight
and help make your school the proud
winner.
The public will no doubt be inter
ested to know the enrolment of the
Sunday schools of the city. It fol:
lows First Methodist, 623; First
Baptist, SGT; Central Baptist, $50;
Lee Street Methodiststs, 200; Presbv-
terrain 10; Christian 996; and Epis-
copal, so, This makes. a grand total
of 1866 which indicates that a large
percentage of the children and a
goodly number of the adults of the
city are enrolled in the schools.
want to thank the churches for
the splendid cooperation and fine
attendance at the School of Meth
odS 1t is good to see all the de-
nominations so heartily working to-
gether in the great Sunday school
business.

If you would be care-free and
stimulated with a higher than one
half of one percent stimulation, go
tonight to the Rylander theater
where Oscar F. Hodge will present
the Neil O'Brien Super-Minstrels,
now on its tenth annual tour.
Never in the history of minstrelsy
has there been & such a group of
"burnt cork" favorites assembled on,
the same bill,with a scenic production
that for elaborate and massive splen-
dor has set a standard not excelIed
even by such pretentious spectates
as the "Follies' and the Winter Gar
den attractions.
Neil O'Brien, who today occupies
the enviable position of being the
only living creator and exponent of
the highest quality of minstrel art
has given to theater goers a produc-
ton that simply revels in originality
of design. In the first part" par
ticularly, the drop" that is display
ed before the opening represents the
face of negro with the usual ex-
aggerated mouth, and when the drop
is raised it produces the effect of the
mouth opening, showing shside the
half circles of performers. This part
is entitled appropriately "The Mouth
Piece of Mirth and Melody" The
finale of the first part is a minstrelsy
version of the Sextette from Lucia
by the entire company, Part two
includes in the customary clio "The
Sleepless Sleeper, or the Tipless
Porter" written by Neil O'Brien; Joe
Carroll and Pete Detzel in ''The
Sound Cure;'' "The Highbrow
Masquerade" also written by Neil
O'Brien with ensemble numbers ar
ranged by Pete Detzel. There will
also be seen and heard the Ebony
College Quintette and Bell and -Arliss
in Gust Songs.p The finale in whicsi
the entire company will appear is up
roarously funny travesty entitled
"Wood Alcohol or White Litenin'," in
four scenes, by Artemis Galloway.
The entire program has been ar
ranged and produced under the per-
sonal supervision of Mr.. O'Brien, with

HOW TO EXTEND LIES SPAN.
Work, and Keep Out Of the Easy Chair
Don't Eat Too Much Meat.

DR.. Stephen Smith, founder OF the
American Public Health association,
viii be ninety-nire years old next
February, and Is, therefore, one who
can speak with authority on matters
OF health and longevity. His recipe for
long life consists of two parts, the first,
Work, and keep out of the easy chair"
and the second pertains to diet, which
as based on his own regimen, is Don't
eat too much meat. Drink lots Of
milk and get plenty Of sleep He told
his hearers at the Public Health exposi
tion at the Grand Central palace the
other day that he never smoked or
drank spirits or stimulants of any Kind
even tea and eotfee, and he also places
ban on sweets and candy.
DIR. Smith, also holds that 100 years,
not the threescore and ten or fourscore
of Scripture, should be the ordinary
limit of life, and says biology teaches
that man should live until he rounds
out century, if he lives as he ought
to live. Yet, as matter OF fact, in
most Occidental countries, however il
may be in Oriental climes, the man or
the woman who attains the century
mark or passes beyond it achieves
notoriety by that simple fact. Even
in the case Of Thomas Parr "Old Parr, 7
as he was usually called, and described
by one Of his contemporaries as an
"old, old, very old man" achieved fame
by living to the age Of l52. So inter-
esting is extreme old age that probably

acted upon. for time at least. The only
difficulty is that the recipes differ SO wide
lvl, in most cases, that comparison of
them is fatal to the belief in the ef-
ficacy of any one OF them; and so most
people fall back upon their own regi-
men, which is at least. pleasanter
thing to do than to follow the rather
difficult rules such as even Dir. Smith
lays down.
But il recent news from Kieff may
by believed there seems to be no reason
why the ceHtenarians should continue
TO be of such great general interest. or
that their numbers should be SO limited
as they are at present. DR.. Sadowein,
professor OF physical chemistry in the
University OF Kieff, claims to have
found q village in the mountains near
Temir Khan Shura, tile new capital Of
the republic Of Daghestan. in which
centenarans are SO common that they
do not attract attention. Out of a
total population Of 100 in the village,
the professor asserts that eighteen are
more than one hundred years old. His
inquiry into the dietetie habits OF this
group of centenarians disclosed the
fact that they live exclusively upon

SEC. HUGHES.
Came Out of Arms Conference with
Enhanced Reputation.

The man whose repute is most en-
larged by the Washington conference
is. of course, Charles Evans Hughes.
His colleagues and all observers agree
that he was the master mind of the
great gathering To vision he added
knowledge of practical details and skill
in tactful diplomatic management,
Nature usually so distributes her
gifts that public men seldom escape
the defects of their virtues Sweep Of
general conception is at the expense
of ability to handle practical affairs; /
idealism subtracts from realism. The
distinction of Mr.. Hughes is that he
combines qualities commonly separated
or disproportionately present. For it
will be conceded that the general pro-
gram Of the conference showed amaz-
ing breadth of view, yet so firmly
linked were its several parts that II
went through little amended.
The skeptical citizenship of New
York first began to take the measure
of Mr. Hughes years ago, when he
emerged from obscurity to take charge
of legislative inquiry. 1t was dis
covered that the attorney Of the com
mittee had remarkable lncidity of
mind, coupled with industry and ca
pability to see plan in its parts as
well as its whole. Then on the larger
stage of the insurance investigation
the same qualities were displayed, and
also that Mr.. Hughes was much more
than lawyer. So he was chosen gov
ernor and though lie could not con-
quer hostile legislature when he went
TO the supreme court he quickly won a
place as a great jnrist.
As a presidential candidate he did
not fire the popular imagination. He
had so high q conception Of the ex-
allied Office to which he aspired that
he felt self restraints that prevented
full revelation of his personality and
his possible policies. The American
people like sentiment and are not kind
ly to anything suggestive of austerity
Of character Mr.. Hughes, in fact. is
warm and generous, but, alas he has
little liking for wearing his heart on
his sleeve.
Americans are often said not to be
internationally minded. 1t is COM
planned Of them that they are pro-
vincially immersed in home affairs. But
as to one thing the criticism is not just.

Mr.. Hughes was to play the role OF a
practical altruist the stronger became
