Three Score And tt EN-

II his Day And Age

Age has its victories no less re-
nOwned than youth, says The
Nations Business. Three score
and ten of this day is up and do
ing. He is no slippered panta-
loon to make fireside grandsire.
And at 20 doesn't a man just be-
gin to get the full flavor of life;
to get an inkling of how to get on
with his fellows; to know some
thing OF this great business of Iiv-
ing and doing, so that at 80, 30
or 100 he draws a sort of COM
pound interest on the faith and
good works of earlier years?
To make case would be easy, but
a friend makes it easier by sending
a roster of names in print.
In the 70s-mere younglings-
are Andrew Mellon, Henry Cabot
Lodge, Senator Albert B. Cummins,
John G. Shedd, Samuel Gompers,
Frederick H. Gillett, Blihu Root,

In the 80s-middle aged, so to
say-are Oliver Wendall Holmes,
Senator Francis e. Warren, Joseph

BLOOD INDIANS GET $35O,OOO
FOR THEIR 1924 WHEAT CROP

Lethbridge, Alta, people feel that
there is no reason for longer plying
the poor Indian. This year the Blood
Indians on their reservation near
that city, raised wheat valued at
$350,000, and many of the fndustri-
GUS braves" are feeling as wealthy
as their brothers to the southwest
who struck it rich in oil. Treaty
money from the government now
looks like chicken feed to the tribes
men. The 1924 wheat crop is doing
much to modernize the red man.

oRGANIZED FOR CRIME.

It seems that crime in Chicago is a well-organized industry, and that no sooner is one crime king killed or de- posed than another is selected to take his place. Criminals prominent in their world are given imposing funerals when they die or are killed, and their subjects turn out in force and in magnificent eouipage to do them honor. The forces of crime even demand the removal of a chief of police who is too active against them.
 Apparently crime is regarded as a game and the law is one of the handl- caps under which crime must play, but criminals demand that the law be exer- cised with discretion and that officers of the law shall not take advantage of their position to be too hard on lawbreakers. Crime is an industry which is willing to pay a tribute in order that those who serve the law may have livelihood, but for crime to be wiped out would be to destroy the means of existence for both criminals and officers of the law. Or at least that is the impression of the Chicago attitude which outsiders get.
 If that is not the case, then it seems about time for Chicago to clean up. Not by driving the criminals out to seek some other municipal stronghold, or to scatter their menace far and wide, but by ap- pretending known criminals and com

A MERE BAGATELLE.

Whether treasury appointees are sup posed to include high intelligence and a deep sense of moral values among their attributes, or not, cannot be determined from the attitude of Alfred E. Sixsmith, MT. Mellons secretary, towards his re- cent automobile escapade. In reply to que ries MT. Sixsmith exclaimed: "Really, they seem to be making a great fuss over noth- ing. There wasn't much damage-only two men slightly hurt, I believe" Only two insignificant citizens, who happened to get in the way of the roaring, speeding automobile, belonging to the august sec retary of the treasury, came within an ace of being killed-that is all. Of course, if it had been valuable dogs there would be damages, but since it was only two men, why should there be any talk about it! There are so many men!

CHEST AND CHARACTER.

In his interesting and constructive ad- dress before the Community Chest work CTS Dr. w. D. Weatherford, head of the Y. M. c. A. Training school at Nashville, after giving ten reasons why Birming- ham needs this system of caring for it's charity and benevolent interests, said that the Community Chest does more than care for the suffering and distress of a city; it provides for character building of the youth of city facilities which could be obtained in no other way.
 The character of youth, upon which the foundation is laid for constructive cit izenship, is the basis of future good gov ernment. Not only does the Community Chest plan contribute generously to the building of character among those-who are beneficiaries of the fund; not only does it give them chance for develop ment into desirable citizens; but it also builds character in those who acknowl- edge their duties and obligations to com- munity progress and expansion by con- tributing to organized charity.

 7 has at the present time the first "juve- \ miles," or young, ever taken of new species of pine snake just discovered in the south middle west. This is all black, differing from the usual one of the species which IS white with black or brown markings above and underside beautiful white, like polished marble.
 The white and black pine snake is found from southern New Jersey to the Gulf States, while the white and brownN ranges Ill Its northern habitat little farther south than New Jersey, both being found to the Missis' sippi, according to Miss Nellie Louise Condon, secretary of the Reptile Study Society of America.
 While the society launched on the shore of a pond near Suffern, N. Y., during it's last hunt, copperheads and mountain racers were taken out of the bags to be photographed, Miss Condon pointed out the extreme beauty in the old-gold saddle markings on the cop perheads, and the lovely blue-black of the underside of the racers. Many amateurs, under her inspiration, saw beauty in snakes for the first time.

The Emergency

The government will be unable to transfer three hundred and fifty active freight ana passenger vessels to private ownership untn the lines give promise of return on invested capital. So declares Chairman OConnor, Of the Shipping Board. Until they can be put on a paying basis, they must be run by tne government, or they will not be run at a4'
 This policy has been criticized on the as- sumption that it involves large losses for the American people, As a fact, however, there is no loss, Mir. O'Connor contends, when the benefits to agriculture, industry and mer- chandising are taken into account; while the gains for national defense are important be- yond measure As to complaints about gov- ernment competition with private American capital, he answers, There are practlcally no privately American ships compet- ing in the foreign trade. If the government withdrew it's vessels we would agam be at the mercy of foreign ship owners. am and always have been against government own ership where private ownership IS possible. But those who apply the argument against government ownership to our present ship- ping situation are simply attempting to mls- lead the people,
 Whatever the merits of the immediate controversy, it should never be forgotten that the outbreak of the World War tound America dependent on foreign bottoms TOT at least ninety per cent of her overseas com merce. When it was urged, in those unset tied days, that congress take remedial ana constructive action, opponents raised the "Government-ownership" bugaboo, and for a time blocked all plans of relief. Georgia farmers have not forgotten the beggarly price to which cotton fell for want, largely adequate transport facilities to foreign mar kets. At last, when our own country was In the conflict and German U-boats were threat ening disaster to the common cause, Con gress opened the way to the creation or government merchant marine which proved to be an essential factor in the winning or the war
 If it now seems unfortunate that the Gov erpment can do no better with the peace time residue of that emergency fleet, let us remember its historic service, and not be- grudge the cost. Especially let us remember that an American-Owned and American-op' erated merchant marine is requisite alike to our prosperity and our defense. Never again should the fearful hazards of 1914 and the | years ensuing be suffered to arise.-Atlanta Journal.

LOCO.MOTOR ATAXIA.

It seems that officially this munich pality suffers from chronic form of loco-motor ataxia. The city commission couldn't build an auditorium until the citizens stepped in and strengthened the tangle. The separation of grade cross ings is yet unfinished business, with the outcome still in doubt. The park com mission cannot function, because of a lack of harmony in the board and failure on the part of the city commission frank ly to put the public welfare first. The library board cannot proceed to the con truction of library because of complexi- ties that have needlessly been strewn in its path. The administration of munich pal affairs is lamely accomplished, not even police protection and street lighting being developed or improved sin accord ance with the simplest principles of eff ciency. Only such boards as are free from political hindrance, like the school and health boards, seem able to function
 It seems, therefore, urgent that public spirited citizens intervene in the park board deadlock to rescue this important function from the grip of political manlp- ulation. Already there is talk of legls- lative intention to make some changes in the law, and certainly public sentiment in this community should develop itself sufficiently in advance to exercise an ameliorating influence upon such legisla- ton. Undoubtedly the alterations made fin the original bill in the legislature are in great measure responsible for the present impasse. But the civic bodies and other organizations in Birmingham are certainly concerned in seeing the park purpose realized and the people of this community given those park benefits to which they are entitled. There would be no need for legislation, if the park com mission itself were as whole of the proper attitude towards its public re- sponsibility.
 The city commission might well be inn portuned by representative delegations to proceed to the nomination of an outstand- Ing citizen for the park board vacancy, a man unconnected with politics and of the capacity and breadth of view the task requires. There are such men in Birmingham, and the commission can dis cover them, if once it is convinced that the people seriously demand cessation of this political wrangling.

Air
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

| A IR, just air, is all we want, thank you; IA but we want lot of it.
 For it's worse to be smothering than hungry or thirsty. s.sss.s ,,A That Black Hole of Calcutta story scafes us more than the ShipWFeeked Sailor Dying for Drink or the North Pole Hunters Eat ing Their Boottop stories. s | I went to show the other night, All the seats we could get were upstairs in the first balcony. We watched the performance so long as consciousness remained. Two thou sand breaths, more or less, gradually filled the room with suicidal gas. Between the acts men went out. followed them into the street and stood there gaping up whole delicious lungfuls of sweet cool air. Then went back to suffocate with the ladies. It was drama of asphyxiation with three Hfe-saving | interludes. r.. | Air! Air. Great Scott don't people real ize that the primal luxury of existence is to | breaths? r.
 My, mind goes back to the village church I attended when a boy, to the long night ses- sions where the gas jets vied with the human animals in poluting the atmosphere, so that I slept by and by as if l. had taken ether; it was what you might call religious surgical operation where at least we children were mercifully anaesthetized.
 
 from my experiences in asphyxiation It is belief in the wisdom and goodness of God founded on the fact that He made so much more Outdoors than Indoors. t
 The house is a form of race suicide.
 The house, shut up tight, oyerheated, is the friend and brother of all vicious microbes. Henry Ward Beecher said that Yellow Fever was God Almighty's opinion of Dirt. It might be said with equal truth that Tuber- culosis, or Consumption or the White Plague, is the Almighty's opinion of a house. More people die of this than any other disease.
 "Come out, come out and greet the morn !" Come out among the barley!" Come out anywhere-so it's out. Emerge, humanity, from your gas laden cell-bedrooms and take few gulps with me Of the rarest liquor Omniscience knows how to brew! to-wit: Air.
 It flows over the wide ocean, it descends from the mountains, 1t breathes from the woods, it streams across the plains it doesn't cost a cent and is worth a million dollars a swallow-priceless both ways.
 If anything is the matter with you, go out doors and stay there six months. Whatever it is you will get over it. Air is the greatest medicine in the pharmacopoeia of Nature. l Most of the immoralities were born in closed chambers. The cruel creeds were drawn up by men sitting in rooms full of carbonic acid gas. Arithmetic and other installmentS of child torture were invented in airless studies. Ghosts love to haunt stuffy castles. Insanities, trusts, plots, perversions, tariff schedules, murder and all crimes are best manufactured in foul atmospheres.
 Come out and let the air. which is rained from the stars, is waften from the seven seas, and is the blown breath Of God Himself. run through you, body, mind and soul? You have no idea what deal of morbidity, insani- ty, and meanness it will sweep out of you.

DooR little Glarabel Boggs is in trouble
By JOHN PILGRIM
until nll of hef money is gone. Then

until all of her money is gone. Then she'll be in worse thouble than ever; But he gave me his guarantee" she Wep' to me- She still cannot understand it. "He told me he would positively guarantee me against loss"
 And what does his guarantee she con- tinued to weep. She did not seem to under stand A guarantee isn't worth nickel un- less the guarantor is good.
 Her story is the old, old one. Her hus- band died after working hard all his life Her income would have enabled her to live in modest fashion. She would not have missed any comfort and would have had good many luxuries Then the men who hunt for widows mites began to flock around her.
 Your investment in Liberty bonds is safe, they told her. "Of course, the return IS small I would not advise you to change unless you can find equal security and gain better re- turn"
 There is no equal security, of course, but the promise of ten per cent against four and a quarter has it's pull. The man who finally persuaded her had been a friend of old Jack Boggs. That is, they had known each other, played golf and poker together and their families had visited to and fro a little bit The friendship did not reach its fullest bloom until hard-shelled old Jack Boggs was dead Then the friend came with proposition for re-nvestment.
 And I will make you secure" he said, flor I will give my personal guarantee
 All his money is in his wife's name. He transgressed no laws save those of morality and ethics. His guarantee isn't worth nickel. But Clarabel Boggs doesn't see it. And the world is full of Clarabels.
