 When fall comes and Bruin is leg ally ''in season. he is actually out seeking refuge in remote ravines, away from the sound of hunters shots. It was only with the greates perseverance that Pennsylvania hunt CTS bagged 514 bears last season.

thirty thousand dollar trust fund upon him, the in
come to be his as long as he lived.
Thus in moment he was lifted from poverty to
comfort.
But fate wasn't through with Weston the Walker.
Hardly had Miss Nichols thus generously rescued
him from want when he struck by an automobile
in the street and dangerously hurt At first it was
said that he had been fatally hurt; and fate seemed
to have given him the finishing touch.
But now it is announced that he will recover.
Once more he had outpaccd bad luck as he has out
walked all competitors through his long life.
1t was in 1861, the first year of the Civil war,
that Weston won fame by walking from Boston to
Washington to see Lincoln naugurated. And here j,
is 1927, and Weston, still living has just beaten out
starvation and then won victory death by the
commonest modern aiment-- automobile accident.
May he live to enjoy Anne Nichols bounty for many

Success in Business

The number of retail businesses that fail is aston
ishng. The Alexander Hamilton Institute, one Of
the most reliable Of business information,
states that So per cent Of those who have gone into
business in the past year, will fail. So serious has
this percentage of failure become, in its unermin-
ing of the confidence so necessary in modern com.
mcrcal relations, that the institute has compiled J,
special course for retail merchants. made up Of ex-
periences of successes and failures, in an attempt
to educate the retail man out of the red ink sid,
Of the ledger.
Certain fundamental principles govern success
and the ignorance Of these fundamental principles
or the lack Of skill to properly apply them, will
spell failure. The merchant who started in business
as shipping clerk and has risen by dint of hard
work to the head of business might be supposed
to have acquired all the information that is neccs-
sary to guarantee continued success.
This. however is far from true. Modern business
is a complex composition Of seemingly irrelevan!
tendencies. Yet every tendency can be noted, an
ayzed and its effect confidently predicted when
one has the necessary training.
1t is to provide this training for the retail store
proprietor that the institute has compiled its course

Gen. Dawes brief Comments"
Chicago New,


In his laconic remarks at the end of the crossing
session OF the Sixtyninth congress, Vice President
Dawes was content to refer to his explicit attack
the rules Of the senate in his celebrated speech on
the first day Of its first session. and then to point
the final clash Of fbusters as an impressive object
lesson.
1t is impossible to defend rules which enable
small group of perverse to paralyze the senate
and prevent the transaction of business. Talk about
the wonderful theoretical effects Of unlimited free.

templates the waste confusion and fragrant inef-
ficlency resulting from the exercise Of the priv-
eye of unrestricted gable and cynical obstruction

cusson. 1t is asked only to adopt rule that would
permit majority to- bring measure to a vote. Tn.

Their revision OF the rules in spirit Of reason and
fair play is imperative.
Mr.. Dawes might have improved his opportunity
in closing the session by calling attention to the wis

Age is a tragedy. Just when person. by virtue
OF his her long experience, becomes worth great
deal to the community age creeps upon him and
reduces him to a feeble shadow of his former self,
often to invalid state. Unless he has been very
fortunate and far-sghted and has had the good
sense TO put something by for such emergency,
the old person then faces either the liberation of his
children, if he has any, spending the remainder
of his days in some sort of an institution.
If he is not actual invalid, however, going into
a home is torture. He then is cut off from the OPP
pcrtunty of making income, small
That kills his self aspect. He is left with too
much time his hands, and that makes him rest
less and disconnected. Also it costs some 5000 to
keep him year, according to figures compiled by
the New York Association for Improving the Con
dition Of the Poor
This association has figured out that it is almost
$500 cheaper to maintain the aged person in his
own room amid familiar surroundings, outside Of an
institution In addition to that the aged person has
opportunity to exc out small income and thus
keep shred cf his self respect and his contact
with people makes his lot easier to bear.
The association is going to work the plan out for
the able -boded poor to make in existing
institutions for those age poor who nfrm and i'll
and who need constant care. The waiting lists a:
the homes for aged are so large that many old
people, the association finds are suffering greatly
because Of lack of facilities to care for them in
institution.
Old age is tragedy which every human must
face. barring accident, and should concern our
selves with the problems of old age and try t, devise
some plan whereby this difficult period is made as
comforting and pleasant possible.

The u. S. Birth Rate

One finds the observations of Professor Warren
S. Thompson, noted socologst, regarding the birth
rate in the United States of more than passing in
terest. He has analysed them with great care
and his reputation leads to suspect that he has
checked his facts rather carefully.
He denies, for example, that the cold American
stock" is dying out. In Southern communities, he
points out, the birth rate is markedly high. He
admits that the birth rate in America since the
civil war has been cut in two, due to the preva-
lence Of birth control and the movement toward
"industrialization and urbanization." But he does
not see in this situation any cause for alarm.
On the contrary, he says, American mothers un-
doubtedly give birth to more children than French
Italian or German mothers" and he follows that
by declaring that despite the decreasing birth rate
in the United States, statistics prove that the birth
rate here is higher than that Of any European
try.
All Of this is rather astonishing information. We
have been accustomed to believe that the real Amer
lean stock was being submerged by large numbers
Of foreign-born progeny But Professor Thompson
denies this and says further that, although ths
first generation of foreigners in this country
notably the Italians and Poles. breed large families
the second generation is Often childless.

instructor at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, main
tains that the Anglo-Saxon will be the preeminen,
