in honor of his home coming.
This was probably the most
notable gathering that has ever
been pulled off at this place.
Some of the most distinguished
men of this city and my subur-
ban towns were seated around the
great banquet table where re-
freshments were served in honor
Mr.. Crow. Slow and peacefu-
music was rendered by the band
while the banquet was in progress
Some among the greatest were
such men as: Barefooted Owens.
Little Jimmy Toy, brother of the
late Rev. Sammy Toy. and Little
Sammy Cad, Jimmy Slim and
many other lesser lights.
In commenting upon the great
work of the peace conference,
Crow said that it would give real
security against the possibility of
war in the future and that it
would be possible for men tn turn
their attention more now to the
peaceful arts, something that
would be of a real benefit to man
kind instead of something hurt
full.

was a great step toward that
happy time spoken of in Holy

A glorious, full moon was rising
as Elizabeth commenced her pill

field, across the pasture, and into

the woods. Her courage almost
failed as she found herself in the

glowed with a purpose to uphold
the tradition of her maternal pro-

halted beside the disused hut of

no GLANDS ron GRANDPA.

Dear Sir" writes Grandma r.
II r., whose Wit and humor ,tckles
me. Il have read With much inter-
est your recent articles ON glands
and am moved to ask: What
about grandmothers? While the
grandmother takes the gland treat
ment and rollicks hack q couple Of
decades into youth. must grand
mother quietly pursue her uninter-
rupted journey to the grave! Il
this wonderful new gland trans
plantation and retuvenation opera
ton for men only: To what extent
is grandfather rejuvenated by the
Steinach operation? Does his white
hair return to brown and do the
molars which the dentist SO oblig-
ingly relieved him of years ago
come back? It seems to be a WON
derful thing for grandfather, but
pray tell us, where does grand
mother come in on the rejuvena-
ton adyenture?"
Just between friends, grandma
but don't for the world let that
harum scarum hear of this-Stein-
ach's operation or the operation
now known by that name-was
done on many elderly men some 20
or 80 years ago in this country in
the course OF treatment of a seri-
Gus condition with which many
elderly mer suffer, but not with
an intention of rejuvenating the
man. Whatever effect the opera
ton had on the condition under
treatment, nobody discovered any
rejuvenation as a result Of it.
When this fact was cited recently,
one of the enthusiastic opponents
of Steinach's regeneration offered
a peculiar explanation which ought
to give grandpa something to re-
fleet on. The enthusiast explained
that when the operation was done
years ago the subjects experienced
no rejuvenation because they were
not expecting it. l am no psycholo-
gist, but that certainly sounds like
good psychology to me. Men are
generally great liars about their
youth anyhow. May it not be that

are speaking, anticipation is
