COMMUNICATED
COME ON. YOU FLAPPERs.
Here's Great Grandmother Plan
ming to Dance at County Fair.

A few days ago ] received letter
from a friend in Alabama saying she
was ~ years old. and a great-grand,
mother. but" she added, Il feel as
young as l did 40 years ago, and
am going to dance next week at OUT
county fair"
Such q letter as this naturally
brings to one the question, What Is
youth and what constitutes old age?''
For many years i have thought
that Youth" was not always to be
reckoned by term of years, that it is
not so much time of life, as state
of mind.
1t is not always a matter of red
cheeks, and supple knees and lin
her back, but is rather a matter of
vivid Imagination and ninble tongue,
inspired by an active and resilient
brain.
F IT is a matter of temper and will,
rather than of physical endurance
and good digestion.
In young old people" courage pre-
dominates over timidity, the love of
adventure over the comforts of ease.
This is one reason why we find so
many young old" fishermen, who
have never lost their taste for adj
venture. and who have always re-
tanned their vivid imaginations, which
always urge them around the next
bend OF the stream, or over the next
hill, in the quest OF that for which
they are looking.
This tafa, M IN mn pnfal uplt1n 10 i,lgf
as apt to exist in a man of 20 as in
a boy of 80.
Growing old is not simply living
great many years.
One gets to be old only when they
lose their illusions, cease TO dream OF
the future, no longer plan for the
years ahead.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but
only the loss of your youthful en-
thusiasm can wrinkle the soul.
\ man of 20 is Just as young as a
boy Of IL, il he has in his heart the
lure Of wonder at what is coming
next, the challenge OF coming events,
the child-like cagcrncss for that
which is lust beyond his vision, and
the Joy to be found in the game of
daily life.
One is as old as his doubt, his fear
and his despair, but as young as his
faith. his self-coniidence and his
hope.
What a miserable world this would
be in which TO live, IL there were no
young old" people here, with their
wise old eyes looking back over the
travelled roads behind them, know
ing tho younger generation will have
10 travel the same hard paths, but
saying to them, Never mind, son,
the worst is yet TO come; but. no
matter how hard the way hang on
to your Imagination, get on top of
the next hill, and never give up your
hope. When you lose these, then
yOu are ready to die, but not before"

The fox trot which has apparently
come to stay in dancing, takes Its
name from the similarity OF its move
ments to the peculiar step Of the
American trotting horse when IL is
making fast time, and not TO the re-
semblance to a fox's movements. The
popularity Of the fox trot is found in
its rhythm. of course, and this is one

RAIL SHOPNEN
ASK NEW PAY
RAISE
Demand Made for 20 Cents
Per Hour More Than Fixed .
by Labor Board.

NEW YORK, May 1O.-A new
drive for wage increases was set
in motion today by shopmen on
several railroad lines, including the
Pittsburgh and Lake Erie, part
of the New York Central-the first
road to receive the demand.
The demands of the employees If
granted will mean an increase in
the railroads payrolls of $50, 900, 900
annually, 1t was estimated.
Demands already made call for
an hourly rate of 80 cents instead
of 40 cents, which was fixed by
the United States Railroad Labor
Board.
The movement is expected to
spread to the majority OF railways
which have recognized the railway
employees department of the Ameri.
can Federation of Labor
1t was these men who last sum.
mer, headed by B. M. Jewell, called
a national strike. Subsequently, an
agreement was reached by Jewell
with number of roads.
The Increased cost of living is
given as one of the main reasons
for the demand for higher wage.
Besides the Pittsburgh and Lake
Erie, it was said that the New
York Central management had re.
ceived the wage increase demand.
The Baltimore and Ohio is under
stood to be in conference with
representatives of it's shopmen rela.
tive to the subject of wages.
1t was limited in local railroad
circles that if the shopmen's union
demands are not complied with,
another strike will be caIled-pos
sibly this summer.
There are approximately 400, 900
shopmen in the country Many OF
them, however, are receiving more
than 70 cents an hour, it Is stated,
under agreements with their I'm.
dividual roads, and they are not
expected to join in the movement
