 The centenarian bookkeeper has no formula for those who would like to grow young instead of old. His own schedule calls for three light meals per day and only five or six hours sleep per night, He seldom eats sweets but thinks he would die if he stopped smoking. a habit he acquired at the age of nine while on the boat from Scotland to America. He hasn't tasted liquor for 63 years and describes himself as "a strong prohibiitonlst who can't see that prohibition has failed"
 'T may retire next October" he said, "and go to Florida to live. I feel young, but I've got so I like the temperature up in the nineties.'

 They landed on wet field at Blagovestchensk, and were stuck in the mud for nearly i've hours. Horses and men failed to budge their machine and they worked all through the night seeking to get 1t out of the sticky mud and onto dry land where they could take off for the 350-mile flight here. A tractor finally extricated the machine, and the only regret the flyers had was the loss of time.
