He stated that he personally knows
of no reason for making any changes,
and that he has reason to know that
the President has no such intention.
The Utah Senator said he came to
Washington from his home at this
time for the purpose of expediting
some reclamation work in the West.
Last night he was a dinner guest at
the White House. Other guests were

BUSINESS LOCATION
ECONOMIC FACTOR
U. S. Tax Appeals Board De.
cides Changes in Trade
Centers Affect Values.

The value of location to business or
industry was recognized as an eco
homie factor by the United States
Board of Tax Appeals in an impor-
tant decision handed down yesterday
in a case from Chicago.
The board ruled that the obso-
lescence of buildings due to the swift
changing of business centers consti-
tutes a legal deduction from the gross
income of the property owners for
taxation purposes.
Precedent Established.
In deciding the case the board not
only established what Is believed to
be precedent, but disposed of 10 ap-
peals simultaneously, reversed the
findings of the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau and ordered a recalculation of
the taxes involved on the basis of its
ruling. 1t fixed the allowance for
wear, tear and exhaustion and obseles-
cence in this instance at Ssper cent
a year, calculating the reasonable life
of the buildings involved at a little
more than 33 years.
Another phase of the decision which
aroused interest here was the sugges-
ton contained in the boards discus
sion Of the case that motor traffic in
many of the larger cities must be
considered an important factor in
weighing property values. Mention
was made in the case of the traffic
on State street in Chicago, and it was
asserted that the congestion had
caused shoppers to seek stores in To-
calities where use of automobiles was
less difficult

I, who am nearer so than 40, would
have many a word to say to those who
care to listen. I have made myself
my own philosophy, which life has
taught me along the way. 1t is quite
interesting, but of course the very
young need not listen. To them l
will seem to be saying all sorts OF un-
necessary things, because another's
experience means nothing to those who
do not yet need it to those whose
road lies all before them, broad and
seemingly smooth. They will all learn
in their day that no road Is smooth.
But the young must set out on LIES
journey with a song on their lips and
hope in their heart.
Thus Spake Zarathustra-
Nietzsche says. and it is one Of his
sayings which I love best: This life
which leads towards old age leads at
the same time towards wisdom, that
gentle light which dazzles not the
eyes. Both wisdom and old age come
on the same slope of life-for thus has
Nature willed it,
Old age and wisdom-yes, that is
just it. To the young it seems but
meager consolation, but to the old 1t
just means everything. 1t means that
day by day they have learned some
thing, absorbed some truth, some wis
dom that leads them gently toward
the grave-gently, without struggle,
one thing after another in a light not
too dazzling for eyes that have seen
too much.
TOO much" Yes, there is a ''too
much; old age knows that. Nature
has arranged that both mind and body
has. so to say, gone beyond its day, the
mind clouds gently, and with it de-
sire. The man who has no teeth left
has also lost the desire to crack nuts.
Yes, that is the great secret; the
desire for things changes and dies

MAKING YOUR OLD AGE
BEATTIFIJL

Old age when we think Of 1t fills us
with feeling of sadness. The young
can hardly imagine that it can be tol.
cradle In any sort Of way at all. 1t
seems the end of all things, a living
death, and all Of us instinctively hold
1t OF as long as possible. Sometimes
we even imagine that we will be able
to escape 1t; that we will be stronger
than mature; that we will not have the
weakness of the rest of humanity;
that some wonderful extra vitality in
us Will hold out against it, over
come it.
am not old yet, but I am, all the
same, on the further slope of the hill.
l am walking downward-and one
goes quicker down hill than up. So
l am facing the inevitable like any
upon myself If l make getting
old" tolerable or not.
What we do not realize when we are
quite young is that we will not have
the desire Of the same things all the
DAYS OF our life. The pleasures of
childhood are not the pleasures of
youth. The pleasures of youth are
not the pleasures Of the mature Nor
are those of old age the same as
those OF middle life. Nature arranges
that for us and mans natural devel.
opment leads him onward in the wisest
way If he will only let himself be led
without resisting too violently.
Give Up After Forty.
1 do not mean by this, that we
should let ourselves be overcome by
old age without making any effort to
prolong youth. In former days wom-
en-, especially after 40, used to give
up" consider themselves old. making
no effort to retain any sort of good
looks or even figure. They simply re-
signed and considered their day done.
This idea is burst thank God
There is many a day left for women
after 40. perhaps even, some of the
best, and l have certainly seen wom-
en- at 40 look even better than they
did at 20. Anyhow, more interesting
and sometimes even more attractive,
because Of just that something which
the passing years had given them en-

"Blackie" Ousted
From, White House
For Killing Birds
BIoodthirsty Habits OF
Presidents Cat Lead
to BanisIln,ent.

+ BlaclSie. the big black cat that has
the White House pets for more than
year, has been given away by the
President. His future home will be
with one of the White House attaches.
Few tears are being shed by those
about the White House over losing
Blackie. Besides not being playful
or affectionate, this cat is a night
prowler. His prowling around was
not for social purposes, but to satisfy
his thirst for blood. He was a killer.
AS a result of this trait there are few
squirrels and rabbits left in the White
House grounds. Some say they no.
tice, also, a reduction in the number
of birds in the grounds, which they
blame on Blackie.
1t is no secret that Rlackie never
was a special favorite with President
Coolidge. He became a pet at the
White House about the same time as
did Tige, the roaming cat, who finally
roamed away for good and has not
been heard from for nearly q year.
Tige was the Presidents real pet.
The reports of 'Blackie's killings in
the rear grounds became so frequent
that the President and Mrs. Coolidge
decided to get rid of him. This
wasn't so easy as it sounds. Appar-
emily no one wanted him. They knew
his record. Finally one of the Secret
Service men was persuaded to ac-
cept him.

down with the advancing years. One
pleasure is replaced by another, but
so gradually that 1t comes without a
shock to the one who is living it, and
happy they who do not cling on des-
perately to what Is no more of their
age. Those who do suffer deeply, and
1t is a suffering which Is ugly to watch
and sad. 1t may inspire pity, but
more generally it inspires shocked dis
gust.
Respect for Old Age.
We want to look up to old age, to
feel it's superiority, it's wisdom that
has come with the passing years. We
want to feel its kind, indulgent, and,
because all-knowing. we want to know
that it is also all-forgiving.
The game old oak, too ancient to
grow green with the Spring, can fill
us with a feeling of sadness. But
more especially Is 1t awe that we feel
and desire to bare our heads, recog-
niZing in 1t an austere bigness that
can never belong to youth.
Human old age can and should in
spire us with the same feeling. A
splendid old man with bowed head,
sitting out in the sunshine, or the
dear old, old mother with dim eyes
and a smile which Is almost divine on
her Hps-and a feeling Of veneration
comes over us, something Of awe, of
pity, too, but nothing in 1t shocks us.
Nature has had her way. The diff
ferent seasons have been lived
through, one by one. Now it is Win
ter. the leaves have fallen. the peace
of things accomplished lies over the
one ,who has known Spring, Summer.
Autumn. Snow covers him,
he has nearly reached the end-rest.
Yes, the great desire for rest comes
also; 1t is even the greatest at the
end But 1t is not sad. it Is natural
Winter-the season when nature
sleeps.

father of nine children, was killed.
and Gilbert Watson, seriously wound
ed. The power plant is the strategic
point of the colIfsry system.
A large detail of provincial police
departed for Sydney on a regular
train several hours before the troQV
trains left Halifax.
Twelve thousand miners have beea
on strike for five months. The strike
started when several collieries were
closed and store credits were suspend
ed for several thousand miners.
In negotiations for a settlement the
corporation has insisted on a 10 per
cent wage reduction.
Troops have been called to the Nova
Scotia coal field three times in the
last three years.

ROME, June 1.-THE newspaper
Zereno today said 1t is reported in well
informed Vatican circles that the Pope

council in Rome during the latter
part of the present holy year. All
bishops of the Catholic world would

The last ecumenical council was held
