so down. He Immediately dove and
brought his man to the surface.
Smith weakened in the efforts.

HOOVER AND SMITH YOUNG i.
AMONG PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER
Comparative Ages of 1923 Possibilities Are
Compiled-History Shows Politicians
Discount Birth Date Factor.

Ralston of Indiana. who at one time
was likely as the compromise candi-
date. Mr.. Ralston died about year
later.
In the case of the late Senator
from Indiana, however, the politicians
said he did not look particularly Wig
orous. None of the Republican candi-
dates looks old; in fact. every one OF
them appears to be in excellent
health. But the question Of age &C.
casionally does arise when the older
and younger man are contrasted. If
the Republicans should, for instance,
nominate a man of Is or 66 and the
Democrats should name man 10
years younger it would not fail to be
an argument on the stump. Often,
too, the discussion turns on the state
of mind of a candidate toward do
nestle or an international crisis. The
assumption is that the younger man
orously and will not allow it to drift
along in the hope that it will right
itself, which is not infrequently the
case with elder statesmen.
Age Factor I'm Business.
Few business corporations would
think of selecting as the head Of their
immense enterprises men past go,
though the recent example of vigor
and efficiency given by the late Judge
Gary is a notable exception. AS a
rule. when big business executives
pass go they begin to turn their
thoughts to more leisure and less re-
sponsibility. The business Of running
$4,000 100000 concern like the
United States Government, plus the
nc oil inc lob ~ ryit
gress, is something that few men past
so would care to tackle. even if they
had the chance.

that it could be made profitable COM

There are Is privately owned lines

there are half dozen others for which

proven profitable and their operators
have dropped out. On the other hand,
many of them are making money,
finding the business as they conduct it
highly profitable.
Il believe that nearly all Of them
can be conducted not only with profit
but with safety.
This is aviation operated along
sensible and scientific lines and for a
useful and wholesome purpose. The
only prize either sought or attainable
is the approval by the public of
service that is meant for it's genuine
