have been killed and many wounded
in hunger riots at Mulheim since yes
terday.
The torch of revolt is being car
ried through the Ruhr valley by ex-
cited unemployed.
Barricades of mattresses and house

streets OF Mulheim. where enraged
armed men camped about the city
hall. besieging the authorities.
Bands OF unemployed tramped
through the streets Of Ruhr towns
about Essen. holding up pedestrians
and automobiusts. They sought arms
and ammunition with which to secure
food and shelter.
The rIotfng began Wednesday when
officials were unable to satisfy the de-
n1ands Of idle workers for increased
government allowances in the dis
tribution Of food. They threatened
then that If the increases were not
forthcoming within a few hours there
would be trouble.
The most serious situation is in
Mulheim. There the stores have been
closed and the unemployed appear to
have partial control of the town.

WILLIAM {. FUTILE, JR.

Ill since early last Summer, when he
was compelled to withdraw from the
race as Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of New Jersey, William E. Tut
tie, Jr., Commissioner of Banking and
Insurance of New Jersey, died on Sun
day morning at his home in Westfeld.
Interment will be made today in New
York State. The deceased had been
in public life for several years.
In 1910 he was elected to Congress
from the Fifth Congressional District
of New Jersey and served two terms.
During the world war he was appoint
ed receiver for several German Cor
porations. He was a former vice
president of the Peoples National
Bank at Westfeld.
In 1915 he was named on the Amer
lean Commission to the National Ex-
position at Panama by President Viii
son. In 1919 he made a secret trip
around the world for the United States
Government. He was appointed State
Banking Commissioner by Governor
Edwards in January, 1921.

LIVING 800 YEARS.

A ~well-known insurance actuary in
addressing a company of life under
writer's, has made bold to declare that
in his judgment it would not be i'm
possible for man to live to be 300
years old, onee he finds out how this
may be accomplished. THE human
race has added ten years to its life
within the last 50 years" according
to this authority.
Few people if they had the privilege
of living TO be 300 years old. would ac-
cept the opportunity.
There wouldn't be anything particu-
larly interesting in living this long,
unless there were enough persons of
equal age to make life worth while.
As years multiply and human beings
begin TO draw closer to the end of
life's toilsome journey, the things
they love best and the things which
interest them most are those which
are joined in mutual interest.
Youth is not always attractive TO
old age, nor old age to youth. But
young people have common interest
IN affairs with other young people and
persons OF mature years find their
pleasures largely in the company of
those of their own age.
So. if one mar living to be $50 years
old and everybody about him was
much younger there would be no tie
to bind the older man to his fellows.
He would lose much of the sweetness
of life. He would fail dismally in
gaining the happiness which adYanc-
ing years not infrequently bring.
Instead of trying TO live TO be three
centuries old, we ought to try to live
more seryiceably.
This. after all, is the keynote to
complete JOY.
