Lauding the Warrior

1t is so much easier to destroy life than to8fave It
that it seems odd that most Of our monuments md
memorial wreaths should 20 to the a~estroycrs rather
than to the saviors.
That. however. IS the way We do things. Some lay.
perhaps. we shall have a better tense Of valuNs.
Meanwhile
The latter part Of the 18th century and The first
part Of the 10th saw about rs much wholesale ~Eestruc-
ton as has ever been crowded into a similar period VI
history. The men who led in that destruction became
famous. Nelson. Napoleon. Wellington-scores pf
statutes have been erected to them. Every Ichool boy
knows who they we're and what they did.
It happens that there was an Englishman living n
those days who managed to save more lives than the
combined efforts Of wellington, Nelson. Napoleon ind
the rest destroyed. He has been dead a century but
he is still saving lives. and he will continue 20 10 10
for centuries TO come.
His name was Edward Jenner. Is that name ia
miliar to you? PROBABLY not: most history books dis
miss him with a paragraph. But the name is far more
worth knowing than the names Of the fighting then
mentioned above.
Jenner. born in 1749. was the son Of q country
clergyman. He grew I'D in a day when smallpox was
the most dread disease known. One out Of every four
people in Europa and England either died Of smallpox
or carried its disfigurtng scars throughout life. Med
zeal science was utterly helpless before T.
Jenner studied medicine and resolved to devote his
life 10 the problem Of smallpox. He had noticed the
current belief In his native country district, that milk
maids and farmers WHO had contracted the mild cow
pox were immune from smallpox. and he ret to work
10 find out about 4.
Many years Of study and experiment :ollowed-un-
I'll. In 1900, he was able to present the results Of his
researches to the world and get the endorsement of
70 prominent physicians. During the years that en-
sued Jenner himself vaccinated more thar 600, 900 per-
sons, and vaccination became recognized by medical
men everywhere as the great weapon against smallpox.
The battlements Of Europe were bloody during
these years. Armies moved and fought almost with
out reasing. generals built vast regulations. the I'M
wieldy ships OF Lord Nelson sent their hroadsides
crashing into French. Danish and Spanish Ehips md
Napoleon made his name a household word. Thou
sands upon thousands Of men were killed. But Jen-
ner, the quiet son Of n country parson. was taving
more lives than all Of these battles were destroying.
Nelson has n great memorial column IN london,
Napoleon has a mighty tomb N Paris-and not Dne
nan In a hundred can even tell who Jenner was!
S.-ne day. let us hope. we will be better Eble 10
recognize the higher form Of greatness

Fall Is Here

The tang Of fall is Ii the air these days.
TIE edge Is off Of summer and with the beginning
Of September three months Of the most delightful
climate Of the whole year is ahead for Valley citizens.
While residents Of the northern. eastern and west
ern portions of the United States for the next three
months are existing in a climate which IS alternately
entirely too hot and too cold, we who are so fortunate
as to call the Valley home will be really enjoying the
climate.
Days warm enough to give zest to the doing OF
whatever is to be done and nights SO cool and de-
lightful one is reluctant to retire. But once in bed,
conditions SO delightful for sleep 1t is hard to arise.
An overcoat and umbrella viii be standard equip
ment further north. In the Valley citizens will con-
viii be anxiously looking forward to the first cool
snap which viii help them move their winter stocks
During the next three months the green grapefruit
and oranges will turn a beautiful golden color and be-
gin moving to market.
TO feed a hungry people IN less favored sections where
freezing weather already has spread its death-dealing
mantle over all growing vegetation.
Millions of ducks and geese viii arrive from the
colder chimes and win lure the huntsman from his
daily tasks.
Reddish and other species of the finny tribe, sens
ing the approach Of winter, will be a ready prey to
the anglers hooks.
Along with the ducks and geese will rome thou
sands Of people who will be leaving their homes and
treking south in searching Of just such a climate as
the Valley will have to offer.
The person who resides in the Valley the next
three months and does not find it to his liking will be
dissatisfied when he reaches his final home beyond
the Pearly Gates.
Yes. the tang Of fall is in the air these days.

10 the value or the labor capable OF

TO my mind one OF our most seri-
GUS social problems relates to the
place In industry OF men and wom-
en- past 70 years OF age
There are q great many persons
or this age-and much older-ac-
lively engaged In the industrial
world. But YET a person past fifty
get out OF touch with his job and
II is almost impossible TO find new
employment.
I sometimes think my office in

stantly trying to find places for
people to work. So, III you have
any spare jobs I wish you would let
me know.
But what I started to say is that
II Is extremely difficult for ne
man or womAn-Fa6t fifty. ever
though he be In good health and
capable of doing hard work. To find
an employer willing to give him 3
chance. There Is no denying that

1t Is pleasing 70 me 70 find Mr..
Ford ind1-sing the usefulness of

says about their physical endurance
harmonizes perfectly with my own
views on the subject. For years i've
observed that whei it comes 70 q

hours OF work and close attention TO
details. that people past forty viii
endure far more ana carry ON more
successfully than will an equal

MIR. Ford says Of the persons past
forty: Having lived a number or
years is a great advantage to any,
n II these years have wrought a
background of experience. 1T Is
usual to associate ~ge with years
only because many m I and
women somewhere along in what is

are not old if they continue to think

CHAPTER XXI

CHAPTER AAAl1
But then something strange hap
pened inside Chatty.
She arose in the morning quite
certain that she IA through with
Bryant, that her infatuation was
all over.
She knew she could never really
love a man like that.
But the more certain she became
that she couldn't love him any more
If, indeed, she ever really had
loved him-the palmer II became TO
her that she waited to be with
him on wild parties.
Chatty hadn't the insight to know
why she felt this Lay. She felt
IL first when Billie described to the
other girls a very mild little party
she and her sister had gone TO the
night before-the night when Chat
ty had been with Bryant on q party
which was anything but mild.
We had such a lice timel" Billie
had said. Some bridge and some
sandwiches, and Lola sang to u.s.
Chatty's better nature told her
to agree with Billie and tell her
how glad she was she had had a
nice time. What she actually said
was:
The kitty's off-side whiskerl
That's not q real party, is it, girls?
A real party has enough pep To
make you forget your feet ache,
and enough fizz water to make you
feel hay-wire-"
That was the beginning OF the
strange feeling that though she
didn't love Bryant any more, vet
she wanted to be with him, 70 20
on wild parties with him-to be
alone with him.
Chatty was as yet too innocent
TO know why. She wasn't fully
