To Require Factories
 To Employ Elderly Men

PARIS, Jan. 21-Obligatory em- ployment of old men is one of the social reforms before parlia- ment. All employers, under s plan proposed by Paul Canjole, member of the Seine departmental General Council, would be re- quired to employ small percent age of men between fifty and six ty years old.
 Gray hair, he says, is the work CTS greatest burden. "Only young men are wanted in this hurrying age of mass production. The old CT men often are quite as compe- tent and certainly their expert ence and dependability are wor5h something but regardless of that he concluded, society in some way must take care of the older men still able to give a good re. turn for their wages"
 A social insurance program that would include old age pensions is expected to be passed by parlia- ment eventually but it will bo years before it could accumulat., resources to relieve the present generation of middle-aged men.

Window Rug-Shaking
 All Right in France

PARIS, Jan. 21.-To shake his dusty carpet out of the window on the heads of all who pass is a Frenchman's inalienable right. This may be done until nine o'clock in the morning.
 Serious concern, however, has been felt by city officials. other wise unemployed. because there is no rule governing the shaking of rugs from court windows. This, they say, must be remedied.
 The City Council, therefore, is expected to adopt the rule that inside-court dust-shaking shall be permitted an hour later than on streets. As people who have un- usual hours of work have usually ignored the rule, out of necessity, it is proposed to give them the hour from two until, three o'clock in the afternoon to saturate pedes- trians with their sweepings.
 All this serious discussion and regulation is phnctuated with re- grets that such an unhealthy prac- tice should be necessary, partic'l. larly as sidewalk displays aof stores often suffer, but there is no suggestion of abolishing 1t.

AL LCOHOL IS
 RESOLVED BY,
 R. R. SURGEON

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 21.-Alco- hol does not cause heart disease. Dr. Frank H. Wake, Shreveport, La., chief surgeon of the South ern Pacific Railroad, told 500 delegates attending the annual convention of the American As sociation of Railway Surgeons.
 Although for generations alco- hol has been considered as the principal cause of heart disease. investigations since prohibition have shown that the drinker and non-drinker equally are suscepti- ble to the disease and have an equal chance of prolonging their lives after having been afflicted" Dr. Wake said.
 "Cors stant straining of the heart muscle by heavy work is the cause of the heart impair ment among laboring men," Dr. Wake said, while too much food and not enough exercise is the source of the ailment among se- dentary workers"

Every child should have some sort of an allowance till he is old enough to earn his spending money, and should he not havc great deal of freedom with re. gard to using 1t? If we direct every purchase we do not give the child a chance to profit by q mistake or learn good judgment in buying.
 My son was saving money U buy some wire for a radio aerial. When. he had what he thought was the necessary amount, 3 neighbor's boy had some wire tha. he wanted to sell because they were moving. l told Son that if there were as many feet as the boy claimed, it was a real bar gain, but that it was only fair to both to measure the wire. They didn't, and when my boy went to put up his aerial he found the wire to be fifty feet short of the amount the other boy had claim ed was in the piece.
 Not many months later, Son was eager to buy a roller skate to make a skooter.
 "It's a bargain" he said, "at twenty-five cents."
 l reminded him of the wire, but he bought the skate, and not long after the skooter was made the balls began to drop out of the bearings of the front half. He declared that he'd been "stuns again" The next thing the boys in the group made was bus apiece. He must have wheels. A neighbor wanted to sell some wheels so as to secure money to buy another necessary part tar his "bus." My son didn't have the money for his wheels, anl wanted to buy lon time" as he termed it. I refused to allow him to buy anything on credit A few days later. however, a woman wanted him to scrub the floor, clean yard and alley, and do a good many other things that arc neither easy nor pleasant He did the work, willingly and well, fo' he wanted the wheels. When he did get the money he went to eS anime the wheels. He found that one was bent and the other had two spokes loose. He came home with his money declaring hs wasn't going to "get stung" or the wheels as he had on the wire and the roller skate. In fes, days he found pair of wheel. that would fit with the pair hs had, and he made the bus" talk ing great pride in every part ol fhe work because his materials were first class.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21-Body punching is lost art, according to Patsy Haley, tiny dean of New York referees, and there is q very definite reason for it.
 In his day as a bantamweight battler, the diminutive Patsy, now white-haired. but spry and 1.-the as the speediest of the present day crop. fought such rib crush CTS as Kid Lavigne, whom he terms the "best of them all";; Os- car Gardner, Joe Cans, and Bat tling Nelson. And he learned about body punching from them.
 "In those days" said Patsy as he perched at the Madison Square Garden ringside waiting to step. into the ring as referee, fifteen rounds was the routine distance and twenty the route for most fights. Body punching was neces- sary.
 0oRo S1C'SIu
 "Sluggipg to the midsectiol rarely toek toll before the twelfth round or so. From then until about the seventeenth you could see "a fighter being battered abort the body gradually weaken until his strength finally was sapped and he was a 'cinch' for finish ing smash to the head.
 There was one exception. of course, in Bob Fitzsimmons, Ruby Rob Fitz never had to wait u1- til the late rounds to take them after due softening. He was the only man ever saw who could fiddle around a bit with his left, make an opening and then pa" alyze orpon n9nts ranging from middlcwcights to heavyweights with sing,e body punch. But .hsre ara no more Fitzsimmors.
 Farry F ,Ftr3 Now in Style
 NOW things are different. Fighte.s go in 10 go ten rounds. The pubic wants the spectacular because fifhis ire shorter and body runchag .las become un- nscossa Y. c n y3a sea one ycgn sst-r lrnd ds.tas O. s,p.ss to th r'hs ir he eal's- part Of round or ts hava L.s n9nancnt get 'cf "a, sorkirg, stick it tito the o'tar fe ow's nose half dozen t!,'0- Jaw blood and win the rounl just on the plaudits If thn fars.
 "I,'s the flashy stuff that goes today Rot the tough, rugged sorarrinr that tho old timers rcvcllcd in. It's just T matter of grabbing tho duke and tho casier tho grabbing the better"
 In the past ten years, Patsy, who fought all the stars of two decades ago in the bantam and lightweight divisions while weigh ing only 115 pounds, has seen but half-dozen real body punchers.
 With the sole exception of Leo Lomski, the light heavyweight, there isn't real body puncher in the ring today as measured by the old style, and that goes for Jack Dempsey, too. They just don't know how.
 Today you see them in there hooking punches to the body. bringing 'em up from the knees, with elbows standing out from the body. Naturally many blows go wild. There is lot of fouling, and youngsters just coming up are scared to perfect the art.
 Now Lomski punches to tho body the way the old timers did, stepping in with all his heft be- hind the punch, elbow tucked into his ribs, forearm parallel with the floor, crushing straight for the heart. That's body punching. Dempsey is great puncher, but a hooker all the same and many of his punches have been ques- tionable. There Is never any howl of sfoup wbou J<0makts rau1a in

COTTON NOW USED
AS HIGHWAY BASE
Heavy Strip of Vegetable Fiber
Placed Between Layers
Of Surface.

COLUMBIA, S. c. 0P.-South Caro-
linians, whose chief farm product for
many years has been cotton, now are
riding over cotton roads. A heavy strip
of the vegetable fiber is placed between
the base and surface layers Of the high
ways to make the concrete pouring more
durable.
The idea Of using cotton as bind
ing originated with Charles H Moore
field, chief engineer of the South Caro-
lima Highway Department, and has
been put in practice by N. S. Anderson.
assistant to Moorefield. The plan has
attracted widespread attention and in
quiries concerning 1t have been received
from all parts of the United States and
from foreign countries. Recently high
way engineers from Peru visited the
State to investigate the method.
"A strip of coarsely woven cotton fab
ric is placed on top of the gravel or
wrought concrete base of the highway
and the asphalt is poured on top of
the fabric. The experiment was first
tried on county highway two years
ago and proved successful.
The heavy cotton fabric tends to keep
the asphalt from cracking. 1t is espe-
cially useful in preventing breaking at
the edge of the paving. Although en-
gineerS are optimistic as to the use Of
tn, fabric they declare that test Of
several years must be made before a
formal statement is issued as to its
merit.

INDIAN DEAD GRASS RITE
is FADING BEFORE Jazz
Tribal Ceremony, Held Recently
Finds Many Younger Mem
bers Absent.

GARRISON, N. Oak. Op.-Jazz has
drowned out the beat of the ton-ton In
the life OF young Arikara Indian braves
on the Fort Berthold Reservation west
OF here. AS a result the Dead Grass
Society may have held its last cere-
monial
The Dead Grass Society is a secret
organization, old as the tribe itself. Each
year a week is given over to rites SYM
bolizing the whitening of old grass to
make way for new. The Arikara coz
ception is that the old men are the dead
grass and the young men the new
growth.
When the ceremony was held recently
all the old braves participated. but the
young men and women. more devoted to
modern music than to the old chants of
their forefathers. remained away.
Consequently the chanting of Red
Bear, Bears Belly and Little Sioux. all
veterans OF the Custer campaign. held a
note Of plaintiveness. for they felt that
the ceremony of the dead grass was
passing.
