HOW OLD AGE CAN BE EvADED
Keep Insisting That You Are Young,
and Resist the Suggestions
Of Others.

Doc Henneberry has just proven the
excellence of a long-held theory. For
as long as can remember Doc has
insisted that age can be evaded, within
limits. Nothing, he says, will grow
hair on bald head. But if the owner
of the hairless caput win say to him
self:
Il am not old. / will not be old. /
shall remain man of hale middle
age
He will not know he has over
ripened until the day the reaper gets
him with his hook, says a writer in
the Kansas City Star. Doc points out
that not one man in million realizes
he is old until his younger friends be-
gin to exhibit needless consideration
for him.
1T is a shock for any man when
he first hears himself referred to as
the old man. But If he is not a per-
son of sturdy character he soon begins
to act old. He has not been able to
resist the power of suggestion"
Doc has been preaching and acting
this for years. But last week his ia
Their dug himself out Of the living
groove he has been occupying for
years and came to the city to visit his
son. Doc says the old fool is viru-
lent proof of the truth Of his theory
of the essential youthfulness of man.
He rolled forty years off his shoulders
the first time he heard his sons ideas
about being young.
I'm going to send for mother" said
Doc. "Young or old, she always had
his number"

Wants Dole Receivers to Work.

The British government, finding the
system of doles for unemployed per-
sons becoming more and more burden
some and demoralizing, is considering
ways and means for getting some work
done in return for the help that the
unemployed classes need. Gratuity
merely subsidies unemployment, in
creases idleness and lowers the self
respect and the morale Of the COM
munity. The government Is now urg-
ing railways to electrify, farmers to
drain and improve land, towns to ex-
tend their public service enterprises,
mills and factories to repair and re-
new equipment. The government will
lend it's credit to encourage all such
work and use public money II neces-
sary to finance it. The idea Is to deal
with unemployment by making employ
ment rather than by distributing
charity.

ROBIN SAVES BIRD FROM CAT
Mother Acted as II She Was Wounded
SO as to Attract Feline's Attcn-

All summer the robins had been
nesting in the trees in garden across
the street from our house in the city
One morning as returned from down
town / heard great commotion
among the robins, which Enthusiastically
meant, 1.-THE young ones are flying"

parents were In high state Of ex-
element, flying back and forth across
the street, sitting on the gate posts
and evidently trying to encourage
their babies to get up into the trees
out Of the way of the city cats, Of
which there are many. All at once
there flew up out Of the ferns growing
in one Of the yards a small brown
bird which wavered and trembled a
second and then landed directly In
the middle Of the sidewalk. At the
same time there appeared a lank vel
low cat from out Of the shrubbery.
The mother robin hesitated not an in
slant, but flying very low over the
head of the cat (who had not as yet
discovered the baby on the Walk,
acted as If wounded and about to fall.
The cat followed the robin, who kept
just out of reach and flew In the
opposite direction down the street,
through a driveway, keeping just
above the head of the cat, until she
had led her enemy safe distance
from the little robin still resting on
the sidewalk. Then, returning, she,
with few very quiet chirps, so en-
couraged the little one that 1t tried
once more, and, with mighty effort,
rose until it was safely among the
leaves Of the tree near by and safe
from harm.-Our Dumb Animals.

FEDERAL LAW ON HUNTING
Prohibits Shooting Of Migratory Fowl
After Sunset--South Dakota
Hunters Face Arrest.

Hunting migratory game birds Is
permitted under federal regulations
each day during the open season from
half an hour before sunrise to sun
set. Persons found hunting between
sunset and half an hour before sun
rise are liable to prosecution In fed
eral court under the provisions of Reg
ulations 4 of the migratory bird treaty
act regulations. A state law recently
passed by the legislature Of South Da-
kota provides that waterfowl may be
shot half an hour after sunset. The
biological survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture points out
that state legislatures may pass laws
to give further protection to migra-
tory birds, If such laws or regulations
do not extend the open seasons for
such birds beyond the time prescribed
by the migratory-bird treaty-act regu
lations. Although the state law per.
mits shooting from sunrise to half an
hour after sunset, person SO doing
may be arrested and prosecuted under

Timber Sources Moving Westward.

The center of the lumber industry
Is migrating to the West, which move
ment has been going on quietly and
steadily since about 1900, when the
cut in the Lake State pineries began
to dwindle. The South has been the
chief source Of lumber for the greater
portion Of the country; now this
source Of supply is failing rapidly and
production in the West is increasing.
This means among other things that
the national forest lands will be more
and more drawn upon for supplying
timber for various purposes.

1t is sometimes forgotten that parts
Of France are really destroyed. One
was reminded Of this fact by a notice
in the Journal Officiel the other day,
which sets out that the village Of
Allies, Beaulne Etchivny, Moussy-sur-
Aisne, Courtacon and Grandela-et-
Malval in the canton of Craonne, are
merged in other communes. This
means that they no longer exist. They
are completely wiped out. 1t is not
another Carthage, which is obliterated,
but nevertheless one should remember
that many French communes have been
as utterly lost as Carthage.

this purpose the metal Is electro
plated on the surface of the paper
