On the TabLeLand of Age
BY DIR. Charles Fleischer-

GROWING old gracefully has
W always been a notable
achievement in the art Of liv-
ing.
Old folks differ greatly in ap-
pearance. Some look like ugly
wrecks on the shore Of the
ocean OF time. Others like lovely
rocks, weatherbeaten, but beauti.
full in the glow of the setting
sun.
When you meet aged men or
women whose spirit is mellow
and strong, you wonder how
they achieved their triumph
over time, which usually defeats
the children Of man long before
death mercifully removes them.
And when such a one hap
pens to be. among the well
known Of their day, the inevi-
table newspaper interviewer
makes pertinent inquiry on be-
half of an emulously eager
public.
We all want to know how 1t
feels to be eighty, ninety or a
hundred. without finding that
surplus beyond the traditional
three-score-and-ten but weari-
ness and sorrow"
TNHE late Marion Harland
l. not long before her death
gave a Ponce de Leon pre-
scription. Said she: IF you
want to stay young have some
work you like. something to
get you up in the morning"
The Germans have a proverb
to the effect that the morning
hour has gold in its mouth. But
II is good to know from one
decently old person that it also
brings the gift Of vitality and
health.
Furthermore, Marion Har-
land said: "I do not mind

growing old. Up on the table
land Of age the alr is invig-
Grating"
Such a sentiment brings
with II q mountain breeze and
all the invigoration Of a finer
ether, such as the immortals
themselves must breathe.
Every period of human life
has its peculiar worth: youth
it's loveliness, maturing man
hood and womanhood its ripen.
ing powers. the prime OF life
it's fullness of strength and Joy,
old age it's discernment.
serenity. poise and peace.
IF you want to enjoy a thor
l. oughly satisfying. stimulat-
ing appreciation of the relative
value of youth and age, read
Robert Browning's RABBIT ben
Ezra" , r#." -
There you have philosophy
IN poetic form. appealing to
you convincingly, in the name of
the aged teacher. to grow old
along with me; the best Is yet to
be, the last Of life for which the
first was made"
And, since you may not be
familiar with the poem and may
not accept the suggestion to read
it, by request please thrill at
the climax prayer: Perfect the
cup as planned! Let age ap-
prove Of youth. and death COM
plete the same"
On the tableland Of age,
where the air Is clearest, there
is at least greater certitude Of
knowledge Of values. And with
1t remain the three great
blessings of human life; the JOY
of mere living. the blessedness
of loving, the inexhaustible salts
faction Of thinking.
Happy the old age which
carries steadily forward this
cup of life still full to the brim!

GLidinq Versus Flying

tor-driven airplane does: and
with a strong breeze to aid. there
is no obvious limit to the time
that II may remain aloft, like a
kite or a soaring bird.
In still air, on the other hand.
the time Of gliding flight must
be strictly limited. You cannot
fly a kite in still air unless the
holder OF the string moves for
ward rapidly; and It is more
than doubtful whether a bird can
soar indefinitely unless aided
either by a breeze or by occa-
sional Tapping Of the wings.
There is no string to pull the
glider forward, and 1t cannot
flap its wings.
Will Dc IcCdhcu that thcSc
= pioneer aviators, the Wright
brothers, taught themselves how
to fly by using a glider; that
Wilbur Wright was interested in
the gliding apparatus to the time
of his death. and that his sur
viving brother, Orville, continued
to make experiments with a
gliding apparatus up to the time
when his commercial affiliations
made 1t seem inexpedient to take
further air hazards.
The recent successes with glid-
ers tend to justify the conf
dence that the Wright brothers
manifested in the motorless air
plane after they had demon
strated the value of the motorcd
one. The glider is no mere

NECESSITY the proverbial

led the Germans. denied the
right to experiment overmuch
with flying machines. to inves-
tigate the possibilities Of gliding
flight, with a motorless airplane.
Everyone has heard Of the some
what astonishing results attain

new interest should have been
aroused in a department Of avia-
ton that has been somewhat
neglected since the day when
Wilbur and orville Wright at

Ter to their glider and made II
into a veritable flying machine.
Now there is to be an inter
national gliding contest held In
France; and it is expected that
new records will be established.
It would not be surprising If
some Of the competing machines
were to remain aloft, buoyed
by the wind, like soaring birds.

the arrest Of Harry Cabs, a merchant
at 200 Market street, on a charge of
