MoURHs OVER -oLD TIMES"
Elderly North Carolina Woman Thinks
Present-Day People Behind Those
Of Her Generation.

Bright and clipper. Mrs. Lou Thack-
er Of Mount Airy. N. c., celebrated her
one hundred and eleventh birthday
here yesterday at the home Of a grand
daughter, Mrs ]. M. Edmundson, says
a dispatch from Greensboro, N. c., to
the New York World.
She worries" Mr.. sEdmundson be-
cause she insists on helping him feed
his hogs and work in his garden, and
wants Mrs. Edmundson to let her wash
the dishes and "red up" the house.
The day before her birthday she rode
uptown in an automobile.
The old lady was born near Stone
vile, in Rockingham county, n. c.,
August 20. 1911. Four years ago she
injured her hip in fall and doctors
told her she would never walk again.
She laughed at them and today is walk
ing with the aid of a stick.
The jazziness of the young today
does not meet with her approval.
Folks amt like they used to be- she
said. Seems like they haven't got as
much religion"

ALASKA HAS MORE WOMEN
Sex Ratio Is Gradually Being Equal
lied In the Far Northwest Pos
session Of America.

Whether modern girls are becoming
more adventurous or Alaska more
tame, statistics recently published by
the Eugenics Research association in
dictate that our northern territory is
becoming less nomadic land Of single
cussedness and settling down more to
starting the home fires burning. There
has been continually approaching
balance In the number of males to 100
females. In the total population this
ratio has moved as follows: In 1900,
1883; In 1910, 247.9; in 1920, 1885.
'Industrially, eugenically and so
cially, the great need of the territory
Is settlers who move into the region
with their families" says the report
according to the Syracuse Herald.
Perhaps the distribution of age
groups with sex ratios indicates up
preaching sterilization of population.
In 1920 the sex ratios by age groups
were: Forty and more years of age,
30l.5 males to 100 females; twenty
to thirty-nine years of age, I'LL males
TO 100 females; under twenty years Of
age, 1907 males to 100 females"

Chemicals From Corn cobs.

BY developing new methods Of ex-
tracing furfural from corncobs chem
lists of the Department of Agriculture
have greatly reduced the cost Of max
ing this chemical, which Is used in
the manufacture of soluble and insol-
uble resins for stains, varnishes, In
sulating material, printing plates and
many other articles. Furfural has
been made commercially from oat
hulls and has been selling for about
80 cents pound. but when made from
cobs 1t is estimated that 1t can be
manufactured at cost Of about
10 cents a pound. Cobs give the great
est yield of furfural of any of the
common agricultural materials that con-
tain it.-Department Of Agriculture

BOILING MAY BE OVERCOME
Too Much Cooking Said to Be Fatal
to Vitamines, Which Are Neces-
sary to Life.

Ever since the mysterious little Vita
mines have claimed the attention of
science, new theories have been ex-
pounded from time to time.
Now comes the claim that vitamines
are bits OF sunshine. Because Of the
important part cooking plays In main
tanning or destroying these precious
vitality givers, it is well to learn what
the new theory asserts regarding It,
Vegetables grown above ground, ac-
cording to this theory, are richer in
vitamines than those not having the
direct rays Of the sun, otherwise
known as root vegetables.
1t is declared that overlooking kills
the stimulating action Of the vita
mines. The housewife who would sup
ply her daily menu with these vitality
giving items should look well to the
fresh fruits and vegetables In the
market at this time of year.
1t Is claimed that because the vita
mines are actual rays of sunshine,
artificial heat tends to destroy their
natural power. Therefore fruit and
vegetables that may be eaten raw are
more beneficial than when boiled.

NO CHANGE IN PROCEDURE
"same Old Objection, Same old RuI-
Ing" and judicial Proceedings
Went on Their Way.

A reader was overhauling his old
files of Life the other day when he
came across a story with distinct
Cleveland flavor.
1t concerns a once noted member OF
the local bar and well-known judge,
who. happily, Is still numbered among
the living.
Here is the story just as 1t appeared
26 years ago:
"a most amusing reply was made by
Judge Neff to an objection made by
Attorney Vernon Burke. The replevin
suit OF Capt. Joseph Doville against
Constable Hudson was on hearing.
Mr.. Burke had continually made OBJ
lection to certain testimony, and every
one of the objections was religiously
overruled by Judge Neff.
Later, Captain Doville was on the
stand and the same question came up
again.
az object cried Mr.. Burke in 4
stentorian voice.
"'what's your objectionY' asked
Judge Neff. 81.
"'Same old objection replied the
attorney.
"'Same old ruling answered the
Judge. Proceed "-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

FORCED TO GIVE UP HAREMS
Financial Necessity Really the Mother
Of Any Turkish Reform In
That Direction.

The word .'harem." for all its rich
connotation, Is now simply the name
for the women's quarters in the Turk
ish home. Poverty in the palaces and
out of them is more responsible than
western ideals for the changed condi-
ton there.
Education and the world movement
for broadening the freedom of women
have, Of course, had their influence
The French novel also put window OF
a kind In the Turkish harem, and
many Turkish men are vigorously pro-
testing the notions of freedom which
they have put into the heads of the
women.
But necessity, rising out of the long,
protracted wars, is the real mother
of freedom for Turkish women. The
Turkish Golfers, both public and pri-
vate, are too depleted to permit the
expensive establishments of the old
days. Men are no longer able to main
tain women in idleness, and war, with
It's demands on man power, has made
woman labor an actual necessity

MANY ARE ABsEHT-mINDED
Aberrsnt as the Famous Professor
Of the Jokssmiths.

The absent-minded professor. favor
lite OF the humorists. is familiar to
US all. His strange misadventures. his
tumbles into coal holes, his locomo-
tive difficulties as he walks with one
foot In the gutter. his use of his cane
for an umbrella, and so on-all these
are the raw material of the Joke
smiths, observes the New York Trib-
une.
But real people, however absent
minded. we are told, are never so
aberrant. MOI What shall be said
then of Charles Krudak of Port Ken
nedy. Pa, who the other day took his
baby girl on a trip TO Philadelphia,
and when he got of the return train
left her aboard? How could he for
get? The child was obviously not do
ing her vocal duty.
Without stopping TO explore a pos
sible connection between Mr.. Kru-
dak's experience and the fact that he
had just been TO Philadelphia, let us
consider the case of Raymond Bent
ley, recently reported from Omaha.
This gentleman was to be married
the other day. To guard against his
weakness he kept saying. wedding,
wedding" to himself as he prepared
Tor the ceremony. But, setting out for
the church he came to another church
where a wedding was In progress.
Mechanically he turned In, took his
place among the guests, waited
through the ceremony, congratulated
the happy couple and then returned
home. 1t is pleasant to read that his
bride. young woman Of firm charac-
ter, instead Of fainting, presently ar
rived with minister, and second
occurred.
The absent-minded professor Of
lotion surely has his rivals in real
ife.
