the good highways OF today, rural
populations would still be without

French Peasant 0utliVeS
Youngest Son, 1903.

BIZ United Press
PARIS, Aug. 25.-Three years old
err than the United States, Tadija
Moustasitch, who lives at Polog,
near Lake Mostar, in Herzegovina,
is probably the oldest living human
in the world. He recently celebrat-
ed his 155th birthday.
Tadija, now a retired peasant with
enough descendants to fill a small
city, was born in 1773, the same year
that certain enthusiastic residents
Of Boston dumped a well-known
cargo of tea into Boston harbor.
Tadija doesn't remember much Of
the early history of the struggling
American republic; in fact, he
doesn't know much of its history at
all, but he does remember of hav-
ing responded, in 1904, to the APP
peal of the great national hero Of
Serbia, Karageorge, to fight to free
his land from the Turks.
His age does not worry him, for
in Tadiia's family centenarians are
fairly common. Not long ago the
youngest of his sons died at the age
of 1903. Tadia still labors bit in
his garden, but he has not really
worked for eight-fve years.
He has never been seriously i'll,
drinks but little alcohol, does not
smoke and eats in moderation. He
lost his teeth so long ago that he
does remember having had any.
