SECRETS OF
HEALTH
-RY Dr. LOuia e. Risch-

EVERYBODY has a chance
II of growing old these days.
Three score years and ten is
no longer considered the top
notch of longevity.
Medical science has made
tremendous progress.
Twenty years have been added
to the life span during the past
century. The day will come
when to live to be 100 will be
common.
We often fear old age be-
cause we think we will become
useless.
But that need not be.
Even if Ill, help is available
everywhere nowadays. And if
we only needed the laws of n.y.
giene and health that science
teaches comparatively few per-
sons would become chronically
bedridden.
But as things stand now you
don't know but what you may
be one of those who will be-
come very old.
Therefore get ready for old
age as early as possible.
Be moderate in all things!
Especially be moderate in eat
ing, drinking and the use of
tobacco.
Watch your health and get a
physical examination every year
or two.
Develop a hobby.
Take an interest in things
outside Of your immediate oc-
cupation.
Learn to love the great out
doors.
Exercise in the open air every
day.
Don't neglect amuSements.
Try your best to like and find
comfort in books.
These few precepts will help
to keep you alert, contented
and vigorous throughout the
passage of the years.
Free from passion, ripe in
Judgment, calm and serene,
your old age will be a veritable
blessing and truly a badge of
honor.
Old age need not be useless,
either.
Plutarch learned Latin at 10.
Cato took up Greek at 80.
Dryden did not begin his IA
nous translation Of the Iliad
until he was 81. And there are
other examples.
No one is ever too old to
learn or to do something new
and worthwhile, not for the
sake of accomplishment so
much as for the personal salts
faction it yields.
But be careful lest old age
creep upon you before you
know it. Prepare for it early.
Kidney disease, a heart dis
order, liver trouble, hardening
of the arterieS-these are the
insidious diseases that develop
so slowly that one scarcely
knows what Is going On.

Attorney Generals Sanity in

Washington people accustomed to being handled in most

The Washington times., 1930-03-03

So I will seek danger, until I
can laugh at fear,
And court humiliation, to prick
my complacency-
For no price is too great to pay
For the chance to live enough!
I don't know whether there is
another life,
But I do know there is this one
And though this life is a myS-
terry
And largely beyond my control,
I have observed this much
I can play the game as I will!
Play it safe, or gamble
Take it or leave it alone
Hide away like a gopher
Or strut my stuff as a king
And I choose the role of king!
Then. if I'm two-timed on eter-
nifty,
I'll at least have had the glory
OF living enough for an hour.
I have only one prayer ."
but it's constant
Keep me alive, while I live!
Keep me inquiSitive de-
fiant ."
Restless and reckless and hun.
Standing the gaff-if only
I can hit on all eight till the
end!

LISTEN WORLD!
| Want to LiUe Enough!
By Elsie Robinson

I'M not afraid of dying.
L But I'm very much afraid
Of not living enough.
I don't care how long I live.
But I want to live all the life
there is while I'm at it.
BY this I do not mean having
"a good time"
I mean having a real time.
I want to see life as it really is,
I want to see myself as I really
am,
I want to discover all the truth
Which it is possible for me to
discover.
I want to ask questions
And test out my answers, even
if they're wrong.
I want the courage to defy
everything, even myself,
In my search for the true life
No matter what it costs!
I know it will cost plenty,
Plenty Of pain and discomfort,
Bus I fear comfort far more
than discomfort,
I have seen men so trapped by
comfort -
So fooled by success " so
hamstrung by happiness ="
I don't want to be cheated that
way.
And I have seen men Strangled
by their own fear
And Smothered in their own
complacency-

THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
By Helen Rowland
Synthetic Sinners

Synthetic Sinners
Nowadays a girl scrapes all
the cream off love before she is
20-and then wonders bitterly
why all the rest of life is as in
Sipid as skinned milk.
Almost any man can tell you
HOW he happened to marry his
wife, but it would be pretty
hard for him to explain WHY.
"A. cheerful mental attitude
will keep you young" but it
helps a lot to move the mirror
a little farther back from the
window and not to sit too near
the bridge-lamp.
Never judge a woman's dis
position by the sweetness Of
her telephone voice or a mans
by his geniality AFTER the
cocktails have been served.
Morality used to be a matter
OF geography, but now 1t is
merely a matter Of TINE.
What was a sin yesterday is
merely smart" today, and what
is shocking today will be
fashionable tomorrow.
A mans Judgment" is what
tells him that he OUGHT to do
the things which he has al.
ready made up his mind that
he wants to do.
A woman likes to look back
on a love-affair-and dream.
A man always prefers to look
forward-to the NEXT dream.
After a bachelor has had the
same solitaire returned to him
three or four times he begins
to look upon it as a lucky
stone"
A word to married men: The
longest way round the speak
easy is the shortest way home.

Past and Present History.
WHEN Bobby Jones and James Braid
w tackled Harry Vardon and Ted
Ray there was almost a 40-year
link in championship golf. These four
men had won % national champion
ships, and the only pity is that ]. H
Taylor could not be included. Vardon
and Braid were winning championships
before Jones was born
Most arguments of golf greatness CEN
ter around Vardon and Jones. Vardon
was king Of the past-Jones king of the
present, and at least a section of the
future. There are many who rate
Vardon as the greatest of all golfers
from the tee up to the green. But when
the comparison is extended on to the
bottom of the cup, Jones comes far
forward, taking the lead as a scoring
machine. since putting is big part of
scoring golf. Not even the great Vardon
ever had any such eight years as Jones
has known from 1922 to 1880, and this
has been against greater bulk Of hard
competition than the old-timers knew
when golf was limited in popular scope.
7 ASKED Mickey Cochrane of the Ath-
i letics what he thought of the pres
ent-day ball. "One day." he said, IT
think it must be piece of rubber. But
the next day some pitcher proves that 1t
might be a rock. / don't see them hit

Mickey rates Al Simmons of the Ath-
leticS as the most dangerous pinch
hitter in base ball. Put him in a tough
spot where runs are needed and he

ever saw, day in and day out" is the
Cochrane estimate.
Cochrane didn't care to compare the
speed of johnson and Grove. Il only
saw johnson in 1925" he says, land he
had been around 10 years at that time.
So couldn't have seen him at his best
can say that the Johnson of 1925 was
not as fast as the Grove of today. This
big left-hander can turn a base ball into
a buckshot when he decides to crowd
one through and put on the smoke"

About THden.

DILL TILDEN'S tennis game is al
- most as good as it ever was. What
he has lost in the way of speed and
dash is almost matched by his greater
experience and control. The hard
handicap that Tilden has to face is the
toll of the years taken in the closing
matches of a hard tournament. He
might be favored to beat even a Cochet
on the first or second day. But as one
passes 35 or SO one doesn't recover
quite as quickly from weariness-not
only physical WEAKNESS but also the
nerve strain.
When you recall the fact that Tilden
was first-class tennis player 10 years,
even is years, ago, you get some idea Of
how long he has made those wiry legs
carry him over the ground. Tilden has
