Not Too Old to Work

T UDGE EBERT H. GARY celebrated the seventy
i ninth anniversary of his birth by presiding at a
meeting of the presidents of the subsidiary COM
panies of the United States Steel Corporation the other
day. He nothing notable about the recurrence of
his natal day, nothing extraordinary about work

Judge Garys attitude is right If there is anything
remarkable about man owning many millions yet
pleased to work after many years, it is because
many waste their money and weaken their bodies
when young The master of the great steel corporation
conserved his physical and financial that he
has plenty of both to spare today. Sevenynine years

sides near the base, are the carved
emblems Of nationality, emblems Of

Grouped on the circular produm are

The 3S stars on the column repre-

''The Branch of Peace" is adroitly

STRANGE HUMAN TRAITS

IF A MAN strOlling on the sidewalk
- espies the shell of nut, the
chance may be that he will turn aside
to step upon it that he may hear 1t
crunch beneath his weight.
A vague pleasure comes TO him as
the she'll cracks and gives way to the
pressure Of his foot an odd conscious
ness of power which for the moment
tickles his pride and possibly causes
him to explain to himself as did little
Jack HOrner in the nursery rhymes,
"Oh what a big man am "
From the time of HerOd, this type
of man has had much to do with the
unhappiness of the world, its SobS
and tears, its divorces. its industrial
strifes and wars It is this sort of
man that likes to oppress, to WELD his
fists and ply the whips.
He delights to humiliate men by
compelling them to submit to his AFRO
gance and presumptuous mastery.
He has no sympathy for the men
and women whose backs are bent I'M
der burdens, who uncomplainingly are
doing the worlds work. building
homes, rearing families, planting trees,
tilling the soil, guiding the looms and
forging steel.
Being the embodiment Of selfish
ness, dictatorial in all his communica
tions and dealings with his fellow kin,
he has no hesitancy in crushing be-
meath his hard, cruel heel, everything
and everybody that comes in his way.
He does not stop to consider that
he, too, in all probability may meet a

similar fate. That as he measures it,
will in the day of final reckoning be
measured unto him, even to the last
mite.
He Is too busy and finds too much
satisfaction and profit In crunching
the shells on the sidewalk and, Incl
dentally, in crushing hearts and wreck
ing lives.
The little fellows must seek cover
when he comes strutting down the
street, else he may turn suddenly
aside when he meets them to step
upon them, simply to hear the delight
full crunch
Like a hawk. he is ever watching
for prey, ever ready to tear and de-
stroy, that he may be better fed, be-
come more powerful and more gen.
orally feared.
If boy or girl should show signs
Of developing these strange human
traits, see to 1t that he or she Is
shown the error and led away from 1t
with utmost haste.

GENERAL PERSHING

ENERAL JOHN JOSEPH PERISH
~ ING military hero Of both the
United States and Europe, was born
September 13, 1860, in Linn county,
Missouri. He was rather poor, as a
boy, with an intense ambition to "do
something" This led him to take the
competitive examinations for West
Point, from which he graduated when
he was twenty-six.
Few men have had careers where so
much tragic misfortune has gone hand
in hand with such brilliant success.
When he was embarking for work in
the Philippine and Moro campaigns,
he received word Of the death of his
mother. He was no sooner started on
his honeymoon than he had a cable to
join Kuroki's army In Manchuria. And,
as he was starting out after Villa, in

General Washington experienced in
expressibe joy at that event, with
the remark "The work is done, and
it has been done we'll"
In 1871 the first congress which met
after the Revolution ordered an ap-
preparation of 100000 to erect an i'm
posing monument to pay lasting trib-
ute and evidence American gratitude
for victory and the birth of freedom.
Nearly 100 years elapsed before the
idea of a suitable memorial was car
ried out. In 1880 r. NJ. Hunt and J.
Q. II. Ward, artists of New York, and
Henry Van Brunt of Boston modelled

laid in October, 1881, during the CEN

is IT SLATER?

THE founder of the distinguished
= Slater family in this country was
Samuel Slater, who was born at Holly
house Farm, Derbyshire, England, in
1850. He was fifth son of William and
Elizabeth Slater, members of the land
ed gentry. His father was a timber
merchant of wealth, but he died when
Samuel was fourteen years old.
So, at the age of fourteen he ap
prenticed himself for six and a half
years to Jedediah Strut, a cotton
spinner in Derbyshire. Then followed
six and a half years of arduous labor,
but Samuel turned 1t all to good ac-
count, and by the time he had served
his full time he was master of every
thing connected with spinning as II
was practiced in those days. and hA

liable to a charge Of immaturity of
judgment.
John Hancock, president of the con-
gress, something of "blade" and none
too conservative in his attitude on
some important matters. was only
thirty-nine years old when the general
congress assembled in Independence
hall, Philadelphia, to consider the word
ing of the historical document. The
Oldest man in the congress was Ben
jamin Franklin, who had passed his
seventieth birthday only six months
before. The youngest was Edward
Rutledge of South Carolina, who at
tanned his twenty-seventh birthday in
the November following the famous
Fourth of July.
OF the whole number but seven had
passed their sixtieth year; nine were
between fifty and sixty years old, 19
were between forty and fifty, and the
same number, 10, were between thirty
and forty. The first mentioned were
the only ones under thirty years of
age. The average age Of the members
Of the general congress was 1887
years. It has been remarked that
there were enough young men to fur
nish enthusiasm, enough middle-aged
men to check indiscreet action and
enough well-matured men to balance
this most important conference.
The first Of the signers to die was
Button Gwinnett of Georgia, who lived
only until May 27 of the following
year. Charles Carroll of Virginia was
the longest-lived after that memorable
date. He watched the new states grow
in power and influence until November
13, 1882 so that some persons still
living might have touched hand

his wife and three of his four little
children in the fire at the Preside, In
California.
General Pershing first served In
various Indian campaigns then in
the Santiago campaign, then in the
Philippines and against the Moros,
(whose language, incidentally, he
learned). He was sent in pursuit of
villa, and when it became necessary
to choose a leader of our expedition
ary forces, he was the man sent. He
has a face that seems stern in re-
pose, like the faces Of most military
leaders, but with a quick, warm smile
that wipes out both the stern express
sion and the hint of sadness around
the eyes. He has a genius for taking
desired military positions with little
or no loss Of men.

New Building to Rise on Ruins of
Structure Raced During An
nual Auto Show.


KANSAS CITY, Mo, February II
A new American Royal Building will
arise soon from the ruins of that
which was destroyed by fire here
early today. Flames burned hundreds
of expensive motor cars, tractors,
trucks, airplane and accessory ex-
hibits of the annual automobile show,
held in the building, and took the life
of veteran fireman.
Directors of the American Royal
decided for immediate construction at
a meeting today.
Estimates late today reduced the
loss from $4,000 900, the early esti-
mate, to s1,o74 $50, all of which was
reported covered by insurance. Late
computations indicated that losses
in motor cars, BUSES, tractors, trucks
and airplanes would aggregate ap-
proximately $774,660.
The cause of the fire. remained con-
jectural tonight. 1t was known to
have started in fiimsy portions and to
have spread with rapidity. Specta-
tors had left the building only an
hour before. Cross circuited wires,
an accidental cigarette or a macth
were suggested as possible causes.
Capt. John Crane, veteran fireman,
died in the burning building with a
hose locked in his arms. He was
trapped by the suddenly spreading
flames.
