ment of DR.. Osler that a man who
passed his sixtieth year was fit sub

DR.. Osler always claimed he had
been misquoted and never seriously
meant what he did say, but the world
at large protested to take a serious
view Of the matter, and the question
OF the duration Of mans mental
virility became subject Of wide dis
cussion.
Perhaps the most exhaustive arti-
! Gle on the subject was "The Age Of
Mental Virility," by w. A. Newman
Dorland, printed in 1908, in which the
writer gave list Of 400 Of the world.

modern times.
He states that his research was
brought about by conversation with
DR.. Harris A. Slocum over the ten
dency to relegate mddle-aged and
older men to the oblivion of innocu-
Gus desuetude to give the more pro-
gressive and aggressive young men a
clear track in the rush to the front
In selecting his famous 400" he
grouped them as workers and think
ers. Among the latter he placed the
great warriors and great inventors.
The average initial age of the 400
records was "a years. The workers
began at %, the thinkers at &c. The
average duration of mental process
was 40 years; for the workers, al
years; for the thinkers, 80. The long
est term of duration was shown to be
by inventors, 40 years.
Seventy-eight per cent closed their
life work between so and 80 years,
and IS per cent after the 5Oth year.

Will SEE DAY
WHEN STRIKES
ARE I NO more
So Declares Roger, Babson
Relative to Railroad and .
. Coal Strikes
FORECAST OF FUTURE
LABOR DEVELOPMENTS
Says People Want Laws to
Avoid Strikes More Than
Temporary Settlement

Wellesley Hills, Mass, August 26
People are not so much interested
in the temporary settlement Of the
coal strike and the railroad strike
as in developing plans so that they
will not periodically re-occur. It is
not enough to. know that We shall
have coal this winter or that railway
traffic is not now suspended, II
the people of this country are to be
healthy, happy and prosperous, we
must know that some plan is being
evolved to prevent these strikes from
-reoccuring. In view of these. facts
Roger W., Babson was this week
asked to make a forecast as to fu-
ture labor developments. His dag
rosis of the strike situation follows:
"When in Washington during the
war assisting the secretary Of Labor
it was evident that the students. of
labor problems were divided into
two distinct groups; one group be-
lives in compulsory arbitration as
illustrated by the Kansas Industrial
Court, and the other group stands
purely for cancellation without any
scompulsion. CONSERVATIVES and ira7
ideals can be founds.in boths groups.
Investigation leads me to belive that
there's field for both of these
Lines of work: Labor disputes in
connection with general industries
such as the textile industry, the boot
and shoe industry, and possibly the
steel industry, should be kept on a
cancellation basis. 1t surely would
be mistake to attempt compulsory
arbitration in connection with these
businesses which are operated solely
! for profit. The best means for
avoiding trouble in these industries
is by keeping these industries in two
major labor groups, one group to
be strictly "union" and the other
group strictly "non-union." Let the

LUMBER hlARKET REPORT
/. ] SHOWS! BRISK DEMAND
Manufactures Cautious About
Booking Orders; Movement
of Freight Restricted

The demand for lumber is brisk
and exceeds the supply offered for
sale by producers. Lumber manufac-
turers are very cautious about book
ing orders because the movement of
bulky freight is becoming more re-
stricted and it is more difficult to
obtain empty freight cars for lum-
Der loading. On the Pacific rains
have greatly lessened the danger
from forest fires with the result
that log production has increased
and in turn the manufacturers have
increased the saving of lumber, ac-
cording to the American Lumber
man. ,s' r., y = >'7 ~
Offsetting this is the fact that the
car supply is becoming more and
more scanty on the Pacific Coast
with the result that the movement of
lumber by rail- is being. cut down,
particularly at the mills which are
located on small roads or branch
roads. In the south, likewise the car
situation is anything but good. Even
where cars are obtained and loaded
they move very slowly, with the re-
suit that comparatively little lumber
is sceaching the consuming markets.
This undoubtedly is having the effect
of stimulating the demand.
/ In other words, some purchasers
will place orders in several places
and take a chance on canceling the
remainder after one order is re-
ceived1 Also certain element rep
resented among the buyers is bid
ding strongly for stock. This element
does not represent the rank and file
of the lumber trade, however, for
there is distinct tendency to take
care of the old customers and not
auction off stock. -,
Prices are advancing as they al
ways do when orders exceed the
supply but leading lumbermen are
very hopeful. Of preventing run
away market, which in the end
work injury to themselves as well veil
as to the consumer. ~
