FUTILE REJUVENATION

Another American authority DR.. Lewellyn Bar
ker, professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins Unlver-
sity, pronounces the gland method of restoring youth
a failure.
with all due respect to Dr. Steinach and DR.. Vor-
onoff he says, "for their investigave work in this
field my observations have led to the conviction
that the game is moth worth the candle, since the et-
fects in the majority of cases do not extend beyond
a few weeks.
What is the use of going through a painful ad eX-
pensive operation to be made young if the patient is
doomed to grow old again almost as the surgl-
cal wounds have healed?
So much for the physical side of the question
There is moral side, too which is usually lost sight
of by seekers of regeneration. DR.. Barker adds
If by the time and women have arrived at
tie age of SO go years. they have not learned that
every period of life is valuable for its sake, and
that it has its meanings Joys interests and res
possibilities they have given evidence that they are not
capable of learning of the greatest lessons OF
human life"
Every age is good and worth while in itself, to
one who takes rational view Of it. Youth is prefer
able to age in ways-in health vigOr confidence,
etc. But youth is ignorant of life, torn by passions
and lacking judgment A serene old age, with the
fruit of intelligent work and reflection, may be best
of all.
Grow old along with me-" says BroWnings Rabbi
Ben Ezra. THE best is yet to be-. And it is pos
sble, in these times of medical progress to grow old
more heathfully than before by normal methods
of living with outragng of nature.

sudden Pussy thought perhaps the
catnip was back of the bi. arm
chair.
"Im look there she mcwcd

look behind the chair and it is
well that she didn't for Papa Kat
WAS hiding there and she would have
seen him and have found out about
the trick that was being played on
her.
"No, l guess he hid the catnip
back of the clock - mcwcd Pussy.
So she looked behind the clock,
where often before she had found
catnip, but none was there this
time. 1t must be in the umbrella
stand,' whispered Pussy Kat, but
no catnip was there.
''This is very queer" mcwed
the puzzled little cat. - guess he
hid the catnip in milk bottle.
He d never think would look there
but | shall and | III find it
However the catnip WASH t in the
milk bottle. All the while it was
in the crumpled paper bag in the
corner of the room in plain sight.
Pussy could smell it but though she
saw the bag she never thought her
father would put catnip in such a
queer hiding place as that.
I:ut it was Uncle Wiggily who
thought Of the bag, not Mr.. Kat.
SO Pussy looked all around the
room, back of pictures, under the
rugs and on top of the piano, but
no catnip could she find She did
not know what to make of it and
her daddy and Uncle Wiggily, in
their hiding places, couldn't help
laughing.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND
PUSSY KAT

Uncle Wiggily was hiding be
hind the piano Papa Kat was hid
ing back Of the big arm chair. Pussy
Kat, the newest little sister of Joic,
1ommie and Kittie Kat, WAS out on
the front porch dreaming of catnip,
of which she was very fond.
q think she $ waking up, now,
and will soon be coming in to take
the last lot of catnip l bought, -
whispered Mr.. Kat.
"Hush." whispered Uncle Wig
gily. owe don't want her TO know
that we are here to watch and sec
what she will do
In the story before this l told
YOU how Mr.. Kat would bring home
catnip leaves and hide them away in
his house to be used in ease of i'll
ness. But Pussy would find the cat
nip. no matter where il was hidden
and as catnip to kitten or cat
is what ice-cream or candy would be
70 Won, Pussy ate the catnip up as
fast as her daddy brought it home.
So Papa Kat asked Uncle Wig
eily what to do, since hiding the
catnip even back of the mustard
jar didn I seem to keep Pussy from
finding it SO Uncle Wiggily just
stuffed the catnip, which is very
strong, almost ike the corner Of
the room in plain sight
"Pussy will never think of look

AUTOUATYC DELIVERY TRUCK

A motor truck that travels two or three miles an
hour and without driver stays close to the curb has
bakery concerns.
These two types Of commercial enterprise have
continued the of horses long after other delivery
services have been motorized, simply because they
make such frequent stops that motor has seemed un
suited to their purposes. The delivery has to
enter motor truck frequently only to forward
a few yards at time. Keeping the motor running
constantly or starting and stopping it frequently is
pensive The horse seemed to be the only answer to
the problem.
If the automatic truck is really safe its first
demonstration Indicated then the last for using
horses in cities may be gone To serve its purpose
fully however il should learn to obey vocal orders.

BETTER SCHOOLS

Increased expenditures on public education IN the
United States seems to be having effect
Figures just released by the Department of the
Interior show that the percentage of pupils in public
schools is steadily rising.
At present, 92 per cent of the elementary school
pupils are in public schools while generation ago
the percentage was only 80. Similarly, 81 per cent of
the secondary school pupils in public schools;
generation ago the percentage only 60. To top
it off, is shown that 36 per cent of college students
are now studying in institutions supported by public
funds whereas the percentage only IA in 1890.
These figures are significant. People are de-
mandng greater facilities for education and are will
ing to be taxed to get them. The who wants his
son to have the best education possible longer has
to send him to privately endowed school.

Pussy knew some one else was in
the room and she mewed;
''Who is hcrc?' Out came the
bunny and the eat gentleman and
Mr. Kat picked up the paper bag,
opened it and took a taste of eat
nip as he said to his little girl:
Were you looking for this,
Pussy?'
ooh" she cried. "To think it
was there all the while and | never
thought of opening the bag! How
silly of mel And she was so
ashamed of herself when her father
and Uncle Wiggilv laughed that
never after that did she look for
hidden catnip or take any that
wasn't given her.
SO Pussy Kat was cured of a bad
habt. And if the rocking chair
will give the sofa cushion a ride on

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29-Foot-

Southern California today.
True, L. C. l.. A. jumped the gun
slightly and opened up last Satur-

to the six college encounters on this
afternoon S schedule.
At approximately the same time,
referees whistles called the Univer-

IONA, Occidental against Santa Ana
Junior College and Pasadena Junior
College in double-header, Califor-

U. s. S. Idaho.
From the spectator s standpoint
the most important of these con
tests was the Trojan.Farmer meet
ing at the Coliseum.
While Coach Howard Jones elev-
en- was expected to win rather hand
lily, the Utah team was considered
strong enough to test the metal of
Southern CALIFORNIA; S 1923 entry.
The Trojans went into the contest
with a powerful and capable line
and a veteran backfield.
From competitive standpoint,
the L. G. l.. A.-Arizona game was
expected to be the best.
Last season Arizona triumphed
over the Bruins by 1913 score
and both teams boast a group of
veterans from that meeting. The
Bruins defeated Santa Barbara

NO MORE POOR

Charles E. Adams of Cleveland, business man
who has learned much about the problems of the poor
by his work head of the community fund, says the
poor man familiar in the last century, and IN fact
in all preceding centuries, is disappearing.
The working and women Of his city are put
ting S5000,000 month into the savings banks ne
finds. The so-called common people there have
5000 900 on deposit
There are still some poor. They are found main
ly among the unsklled workers and workers over 45
Something should be done he says, to find employment
for them.
Those who lack intelligence or opportunity to find
their profitable niche in the economic system
doubtless must have it found for them Society must
revise its ideas about workers past middle who
may lack the special abilities Of the young but have
other abilities just useful and necessary.
Then, in this country at least, there will be no
more problem of poverty" There will be no more
great and hopeless classes of poor There will always
be individuals and families made by personal mis-
fortunes natural calames but they can easily be
cared for.
