" HE idea that waves of light produce
a mechanical push or pressure
was advanced years ago, but
there could be offered a theoretical proof
only. Recently. however. scientists made
an experimental demonstration of the
pressure of light"
There was employed a radiometer re-
sembling the familiar Crookes radiome-
ters with their revolving vanes, but there
was used larger and more completely
exhausted bulb, from which the heating
effect that is the principal agent In NOV
ing the Crookes vanes is excluded. When
the light falls upon the vanes they are
driven before 1t. and the intensity of the
pressure thus revealed comes within 10
per cent. of that calculated by Maxwell,
the first investigator. The effect is in
dependent of the color Of the light and
directly proportional to its energy.

A MONG the curious scientific toys Is

scope" 1t consists of a wooden
paddle about six and half feet long and
three inches wide, whitened with chalk,
and turning about its middle at the rate
of 1,500 turns a minute. When in motion
the paddle resembles a thin, circular

At distance Of nearly four feet be-

asked Mr.. Twain, who was about 70 years
old at the time, what he did to retain his
mental and physical vigor. II do two
things don't like to do every day." he
answered.
What are they?" came the hopeful and
brave question.
II go to bed every night and get out Of
bed in the morning." retorted the humor-
ist.
And that's about as much of formula,
it seems, as any one needs to follow.
DR.. Casamajor does not agree wholly
with DR.. Brown on retirement. 1t is his
opinion that an American can retire sue
cessfully IL he has other outlets than
his work which will consume his time
and energies.
"Of course, the great majority of our
people cannot afford to retire Many Of
those who could, from an economic stand
point, quit an active career do not do so
because home life is not sufficiently ener
gizing. An Office is an escape from the dull
ness, the lethargy of the average home
But do believe that a man may retire
and, IL surrounding conditions are favor
able, adopt recreational outlets and be
contented," DR.. Casamajor said.
Dissenting from DR.. Casamajor even
more than DR.. Brown, DR.. A. A. Brill,
nauroIoOfaf ot fba Navy yorIr Irpivareitv
Medical School, said that man was
created to struggle" and that work is the
natural and healthy outlet of his ener
gies.
The other day, on the occasion of his
seventy-third birthday, Luther Burbank
said he was still going strong" and that
IL he quit he'd "go to pieces" DR.. Brill
indorses this sentiment.
The New York herald., 1922-05-21

"Breakdowns never are caused by over
work." said the psychiatrist. Man was
made to Struggle and his vocation repre-
sents part of his 'cosmic urge Hence he
is unable to STOP"
DR.. Brill quoted the common comment
II love my work" as the evidence Of mans
need of work-work for works sake.
Vacations are neurotic fad which
adjusted persons don't want and which
are of no benefit to those who clamor for
them," DR.. Brill maintains. Mans work
is at once his contribution to society and
his own self-fulfllment. He finds his
qualification in his labor as he does in his
love. Work keeps him happy. The best
of us die in harness.
"It makes no difference whether a man
is a flnancier, preacher, actor, physician,
cook or shoemaker, provided he himself
has selected this vocation and was not
forced into 1t by his home environment
or social conditions, he will find his
proper outlet in his work and under
normal conditions he will never become
fatigued by 1t or wearied of 1t. He will
be a success If he is fit for his task and
willing to do It; IL he is not he will be a
failure.
"Contented workers have to be forced
to take vacations" DR.. Brill said, coming
back to his original contention.
DR.. Casamajor said of DR.. Brill's rather
relentless position: IL am somewhat sur
prised. He has struggled so much him
self"
It seems to many observers. that the
elation of success is one of the antidotes
to age. Men are becoming more and more
The New York herald., 1922-05-21

Nathan Straus, who is IA, is another
example. He has retired from business,
but he is an active philanthropist; his
energies are employed in supplying milk
in New York and soup in Palestine to
those who need. This is more active

great store.
DR.. Brill is disinclined to grant that a
man can substitute for his life work an
avocation as his years increase. In
deed, 1t Is the consensus of medical opin-
ion that it is well nigh impossible for a
man who has been actively engaged in
some business or profession to transfer
his interests to hobbies" especially when
the average Americans are the passive
ones Of motoring and movie going. Such
instances as Carnegie and Straus are
isolated and typical. Then too both
these men had a passion for philanthropic
work before they devoted themselves to
it entirely, even as John ID. Rockefeller
must have acquired an interest in golf
rather early in life to make 1t vital
enough pursuit in his old age.
Interest in thing can't be manu-

ESPITE the often quoted state
ment that the young man is the
most prominent factor in the
new business world a recent Federal can
vass of the country discloses that it is not
the young man who is conducting the
nations affairs; that is, not the man who
is young in years. 1t seems, instead, that
the man of so and 70 years of age is hold
ing the reins of business to-day that
generation ago were in the hands of the
man of 40 and so. And there are more
men throughout the country whose years
run up to the eighties and above at their
desks every day than ever in the past.
Which brings to light situation which
Is of considerable scientific interest. This
situation Is the apparent change in the
physical condition of age. Those who
have surveyed the field have discovered
that the man of twenty years ago who
was ready to retire when he reached
his fifties, satisfied to lay down the bur-
dens of active business life and leave
them to his children or his heirs, is no
longer to be found. To-day he is not as
old at 20 as he was then at so.
Particularly in New York, where the
biggest business of the country finds its
home, men of 20 and above are the
most active in both the industrial and
the financial field. Their fathers retired
early in their lives and were not unpre-
pared for death when they reached go.
In fact, IL was not so long ago that so
was the carpet slipper age These sons,
20, rs and above, to-day consider moth
ing less than 90 as the carpet slipper
age, and until that accumulation of
years comes upon them they seem de.
termined to stay at their desks and to
remain as active as any of the men who
are younger in years and whose field
usually is a minor one.
In fact, "the modern American business
man does not know how to retire, and If
he tries 1t does not make a success of 1t
at any time In his life before he is So"
says DR.. s. A. Brown, dean of Bellevue
Medical School Of New York. I'VE have
no leisure class in America, and our men
in the main have no hobbies. Therefore,
they have nothing to retire to that prom
lses them the same comfort and excite

recreations as driving, walking and
travel" but these have not superseded
his interest in his work. Since 1893 the
Rev. DR.. Abbott has been editor in chief
of the Outlook, and continues to retain
this position to-day at the age of 81.
Richard Croker, who died recently at
the age of 81, led a strenuous life until
the end oliver Wendell Holmes, who,
like Mr.. Croker, was born in 1S41, still
holds his seat in the United States Su
preme Court. Talcott Williams retired
formally from his executive and teaching
activities at the Columbia University
School of Journalism in 1919 because he
had reached the retiring age-70 but Mr..
Williams continues to write and to con-
tribute to many magazines. Joseph Can

Wanamaker, the founder of the modern
department store, is "a and still active as

ment age really does not

toward the nineties."
Charles M. Schwab chairman of Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation, who is at the sixty
mark, has been considering the question
of retiring for the last three years, DR..
Brown, who is his physician, told me.
But he's still at work and likely to con-
tinue for many years.
"a man of seventy-two on the job is
better mentally and physically than one
not working" said DR.. Brown, adding that
he knew of but one way of retiring sue
cessfully-to die at the height of ones
career. DR.. Brown has a serious and per-
sonal interest in the question; In fact he
has been thinking about 1t for ten years,
when he may retire. But retirement for
DR.. Brown would mean giving up his pri-
vate practice and devoting his time to
executive work as dean.
That doesn't look very much like re-
tirement, but it supports the doctors con-
tention and also explains why such men
as Thomas A. Edison. Samuel Gompers,
Lyman Abbott, John Wanamaker and
Oliver Wendell Holmes are still at their
various jobs-and every one of them has
passed the 20 mark.
Insurance companies statistics show
that mortality rates are more favorable
than they were ten years ago. This Is
largely due, physicians say, to the new
attitude of men toward old age. fThey
simply do not admit old age, and so fend
off death.
Or. Louis Casamajor, professor of neu-
rology at the New York College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons, said that old age is
more comfortable now. You don't see
the bent, rheumatic old man so much
now because of the knowledge of the
chronic diseases and arterial changes
which but few years back incapacitated
even the middle aged, and then old age
is being postponed by the will to keep at
work"

about Mark Twain. One day some one
