But how long are we young? Some
men are old at 40, while others are
still young at so. 1t depends upon
the pace they hit and the manner in
which they hit it.
We can crowd a lot of work and
pleasure into youth if we keep our
hearts and our minds and our bodies
clean, or We can reduce the amount of
both and shorten our youth by resort
ing to reckless dissipation. Your youth

today there are no less than 5000
hiking clubs In Greater New York,
with total membership Of more than
a quarter of a million men and wOm-
en-, who are keeping themselves in the
pink of condition and experiencing the
real JOY Of living by getting regularly
out into the open country with no 9th
er means of locomotion than their God
given legs.
The city Of New York has taken Off
cial notice Of the movement. On three
occasions recently Mayor Hylan has
congratulated the boys and girls Of the
public schools upon their enthusiasm
In taking up the new sport OF hiking.
In his dedication Of the great new pub
lie playground in the Bronx the other
day Mayor Hylan eXtOlled the athletic
tendencies of the boys and girls and
impressed upon them that there was
no better or more profitable way in
which they could pass their vacations
and utilize their holidays than by the
excursions into field and forest of their
walking clubs. He gave the same
message to the Amateur Athletic I'm
ion Of Brooklyn few days later, and
when a club Of East Side boys and girls
visited him at city hall preparatory to
a hike to the tomb Of Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay he assured them that the
best walkers among them would make
the best citizens.

LIGHTNING STRIKES HOUSE

Tuesday afternoon when the terri
fic thunder storm was in progress a
bolt Of lightning descended on the
Alonzo Higbee home striking the
sewer ventilation pipe and apparent
ly going down the pipe to the sewer.
A portion of the bolt seemed to jump
to the flue and went down that into
the basement.
There was no damage done to the
house, and apparently the fact that
the bolt followed the sewer pipe and
the flue was all that saved the house
from being wrecked.
Several people in the vicinity saw
the bolt descend, and when it struck a
ball of bright fire about foot in di-
ameter was noticed.

32 7-S gallons of gasoline had been
consumed, giving an average mileage
of 30.4 per gallon of gasoline, while
