Caught by Small Rock.
When the miners came upon the
body, instead of encountering a
mammoth rock supposed to be pin
ming the body they found stone of
but 70 to 100 pounds weight across
his ankles. Morsels of food, rope,
chisels and hammers carried to him
during the early days of his entrap-
ment were found by his side. 1t was
the work of but short time to clear
away debris, and soon afterward the
miners had dragged the body to safety
at the foot Of the shaft.
Their efforts beat disaster by only a
few minutes, for shortly after the
body had been withdrawn to safety
the lateral where they had been work
ing and where the cave explorer died
collapsed, caved in and slid hundred
ceet below into a dark pit. This sub
stantiated Collins remarks to arescuers
who crawled to him in the early days
of his imprisonment that a deep pit
was right behind him.
The body, according to Hunt was
in good condition, kept so by the
dampness and low underground tenn
perature of the deep cavernous earth
formation.
Although final funeral arrangements
nave not been announced. the body
will lie in state for a few days at the

pliance with original wishes of the
aged father, Lee Collins. and Floyd s
brothers, 1t will be buried on a hill
above Crystal Cave, another cavern
discovered by Collins.
Collins lost his life while exploring
Sand Cave, hoping to find beautiful
cave formations which would attract
tourists. 1t was while returning from
a trip into the pit into which part OF

A limestone and sandstone rock,
weighing between rs and 100 pounds,
which pinned Collins left leg as he
was crawling from the depths of a
newly discovered pit, was removed
last night by miners employed by the

freed for The first time since last
January 80, when the falling rock
caught Collins and held him fast while
hundreds of volunteer workers strug-

The miners, after removing the

BY ROBERT T. SMALL.

NEW YORK, April 23-Looking
pack today over the pictorial record of
the VI years of Chauncey NJ. Depew,
one sees sea of whiskers-billows of
boards. In the times agone they were
black boards, bushy, bristling and
plentiful. Within the recollection of
the present generation, however, they
have been gray boards and white
boards. losing some of their plenti-
tude and their aggressiveness, but
boards, always boards. For Chauncey
Depew had attained his threescore
years and ten when the present gen.
Grafton began, and the boards natur-
ally had begun to grow gray at that
mere milestone in a most remarkable
career OF achievement and longevity.
Years ago Mr.. Depew was inter
ested in a serio-comic debate held at
the National Press Club in Washing
ton, when the subject up for considera-
ton ran something like this:
Boards VS.. Bald Heads.
Resolved, That a bald head may be
a detriment, but beard is a mans
own fault"
The bald-he; I'd side of the debate
was maintained by "F'iddling Bob"
Taylor of Tennessee. and by Mick"
Longworth of Ohio. the new Speaker
OF the House. The bearded side of the
momentous discussion was handled by
the late Senator Carter of Montana
and Uncle Joe" Cannon.
The point of the story is that the
whiskers won. 1t was agreed that
through all history the beard had been
the mark of the strong and virile man,
the father of large families. the
tumbler of temples, and all that sort
of thing.
Depew Is Original Beaver"
Mr.. Depew, celebrating his ninety
hrst anniversary today, does not at
tribute his long and happy life to the
beard, or rather not to the beard
alone, although it has been his con-
slant companion through all the years
OF his stirring manhood. He has no
fault to find today with the baldheads
or the beardless, but in the days of
his youth the beard was the mark of
mans estate. Safety raZors were un-
known. And, having once acquired an
extremely ornate hirsute appendage,
Mr.. Depew has remained constant to
the idea. He has seen the boards of
his companions disappear, one by one.
before the march of the modern razor
but not once has he been tempted to
stray from the bearded fold. He is
the original beaver" of the world.
Mr.. Depew, carrying on today at his
New York Central offices just as he
has been working for the past many
years, was looking forward to his one
hundredth birthday anniversary with
a confidence which makes it seem an
easily attainable mark. once at the
century corner he expects to go on
to 110-and beyond.
Moderation His Keynote.
Mr.. Depew is rather delighted with
the idea that he has seldom, if ever,
been referred to as the grand old
man." Grand old man doesn't seem
to fit him at all, for his outlook on
Evening star., 1925-04-23

life is one of youth and hope and
aspirations. He does not believe in
lamenting the past. That brings old
age. He likes to think of himself as
part, very lively part, of the pres
ent, of the "jazz age" If you will. al
though his taste for music, wide as
it is, does not run to jazz. Yet Mr..
Depew, tolerant in the years of wis
dom. does not condemn jazz. 1t is all
right in moderation. And there is the
keynote of his long life-moderation
Extremes in nothing-in goodness or
what the world may call badneSs-just
moderation.
THE good old days" were no bette:
than the good present days. Life is
what one makes of it and gets out of
it, according to Mr.. Depew'S splendid
philosophy. A cheerful disposition is
more to be coveted than great wealth.
Meet your fellow man with smile.
Live gracefully. and it will not be
necessary to grow old gracefully, or
otherwise. Mr.. Depew is one man
of wealth who does not believe 1t is
necessary for the human animal to
emulate the migratory bird and chase
the seasons around the year. He en-
joys the rigors of a Northern Winter
and the sun of the Summer months.
When a man is born to certain
climate, let MIN SUCK TO IT. NOl tIdI
Mr. Depew has refrained from F'lori-
da and California. On the contrary.
But in seeking the pleasures of Sum
mer in Winter and Winter in Sum-
mer he has been guided as in all
things by moderation.
Deplores Passing of Horse.
A deyotee of the radio. of the mod
ern plays, of the movies, Chauncey
Depew today is getting a great kick
out of a life that men many years his
Junior are condemning as bad and not
worth while. The world is not going
TO pot. The younger generation is not
all that is wicked. Times change. but
fundamentally life is much the same.
Hold the head high and smile. 1t is
difficult to be a pessimist after talk
ing with Chauncey Depew.
His one lament-the passing of the
old family horse and buggy-is shared
by many. Clarence Hamlin of Colo
rado Springs once remarked that the
New York he used to love passed with
the hanson cab.

With the new traffic code approved
and ready to go into operation May 3.
Traffic Director Eldridge and his as,
sistant, Col !. q. Moller, will turn
their attention to the task OF select
ing arterial highways and making
necessary arrangements for putting
them into service.
Before any of these through boule-
wards are selected Mr.. Eldridge and
Col. Moller will make a careful study
of the data being collected to show
how the traffic now flows into and

The Boy Scouts already have provid-
ed valuable information in the traf-
fic counts they took 10 days ago at
$50 important intersections, and they
will repeat the operation Saturday to
determine whether the density of traf-
nc differs on various days of the week.
Mr.. Eldridge will leave the city this
evening to attend the Eastern Confer

Announcement was made today by
Mr.. Eldridge that the Ford Motor Co.

District.
Police to See Tests.
TWenty-eight policemen will be de-
tailed TO supervise the tests at the
various places where they are to be
made. This, Mr.. Eldridge said, will
serve not only as a check on the
testing, but will afford the officers an
opportunity to become familiar with
the method of making them.

Members of the American colony at

should be held exclusively under the

but at low enough rates TO make the
enterprise profitable Some members
of. the board are opposed to bar
gains at the expense of the Govern
ment and think in the long run the
Government will be better protected
in it's desire for merchant marine
and ocean freight rates kept down If
the annual appropriations can be kept
to their present level and fleet ~
ships kept in service.
One compromise suggested is that
the Government maintain the social
ed improbable lines and the private
owners be given possession Of certain
Government ships for their own op-
GRAFTON. In opposition to this is the
view that if the Government is to
foot the bill for the Improbable
routes it should obtain the income
from operating the profitable routes
and save the taxpayers money. These
at any rate are the issues of the ship
ping problem.

Are crossword puzzles helpful? The
other day we were doing one when we
had TO find a six-letter synonym for
lazy" AS IA starter w already had
90 and from somewhere within us
came the whisper "otiose.' We hur-
ried to the dictionary and verified its
meaning. "Otiose" has now become
fixed in our vocabulary. Not only that,
but we have directed the attention of
friend wife to the word, with the hope
that when @ she feels like charac-
terizing us with the shorter and uglier
term. she will substitute "otiose." 1t
is much less jarring.-Boston Tran
