story is old, though it does not look
so old. When a man is getting old
his younger friends, to give him cour-
age, say, Really, you don't look
your years" or You don't look as
old as you are Another tactful
friend may say. You are right spry
for your years" Then you reply
Yes, 1 feel as young as I ever did"
You hobble off with a feeble attempt
at seeming gay, and the friends you
just left say, My, but John is look
ing old"
But in the matter Of this house, it
is said with truth it does not look
it's age. 1t has had plenty of paint.
Carpenters and tinsmiths have beer
called in like doctors and dentists to
fix up broken joints and put in new
parts. There is a wide, green plot
around it, and big walnut tree and
three locust trees lay their shade
upon the lawn. There are many
acres-I will not estimate them-of
cleared land adjacent, and an extern
sive view is closed en- all sides by
woods.

4 N old house stands in the val

"A mile south of the intersec-
I \ ton of Bowen road and the
District line. Other old houses
stand in the valley, and some may
be as interesting as that to which 1
point. but it is my business to tell
of this house. The others must wait
their turn.
the biography of every old house and
put it in the Hall of Fame. Nearly
every old house has something in
teresting in its story.
Many persons who feel or affect an
interest in old houses do not let their
interest carry them away or cost them
money. They like to look at an old
house and talk alphabetically about
it, but if they are asked to buy it
they open the garden gate and hurry
off. The old house is a fine subject
expression of lofty sentiments, but
most persons. after flow of soft
words about tender memories"
"happy recollections." and all that,
will say, Il wouldn't have the place
at any price," and 1T would cost
more to make the old thing habitable
than to build new house"
Perhaps you have observed that
some folks are more sympathetic in
conversation involving only words
than in action involving money. A
man will praise an old house and
seem raptured with the poesy of his
words and the sweet romance of his
thoughts, but a chill strikes him
when he is told that the house needs
a roof. One has known men who lee
ture with deep feeling on the grace OF
charity, but on Y nom dynamite is
needed to get al bollar from their
jeans. One hears IL man, as he eats
a salad or smokes a rich cigar. ooze
rhetoric on the beatitude of helping
orphan asylums and homes for old
people. Well, fellows, such things
are here.
An old house once opened it's door
to me and said: Rambler, human
nature on the whole is good, and it
is an interesting study even il you
do not call it psychology, but you
have perhaps observed that there is
a trace Of insincerity in some persons.
A lovely woman motored out to see
me yesterday, and, looking at me
with glorious and sympathetic eyes,
said Poor house! What a beautiful
home it must have been! See that
frayed and dusty box-hedge! See

Commercial Air

Admiral Fullam
Declares.

Congress can not prepare against
war in time of peace, but the Ameri-
can people can and will prepare
against foreign invasion before 1t
comes by establishing a great COM
mercial air fleet, according to Rear
Admiral w. F. Fullam. former com
mander of the Pacific fleet, in Omaha
Monday to aid in developing the chap
ter of the National Aeronautical as
sociation.
The admiral has been giving his
entire time to the association for the
! last two years. He has a set of mo-
ton picture films showing the
progress of flying in Europe and
America, which he showed at a public
lecture at Technical High school
auditorium Monday afternoon and at
the Chamber of Commerce last night.
Congress can not appropriate
enough money to maintain a great
army and navy" the admiral said.
THE best 1t can do is maintain the
most important branch of the serv-
ice And that is aviation.
INV dofob 30 1hhpoccipaSs
"There will be no foreign invasion
as long as We have an adequate fleet
of airplanes.
I'VE can have commercial planes to
be used in combat in time of war.
Business men now demand rapid
communication. That was the rea-
son for establishing the air mail serv-
ice. Commercially. there is money in
air transportation and citizens who
promote this industry will profit,
while they serve their country.
This association is national In its
por do we try to tell individual cities
what to do"

There are approximately 40 mem.
bers in the Omaha chapter of the
association now. 1t was sponsored
here by Gould Dietz, who Is 4 past

Rear Admiral Fullam became inter
ested in aviation as means Of de-
fense the day the armistice was
signed. His fleet was lying in the
San Diego harbor on that day. The
commander of the air field near there
sent go planes into the air at once
as a token OF exultation.
"As those planes passed over my
fleet, in battle formation the ad-
miral said. Il began to think. II each

are thefts of various shades. Police
returns Of 1923 show an alarming In

The increase OF crimes In 1928 is
attributed to the demoralizing effect

by accident while some worthless, un-

then she has fought and won an en-
