day anniversary of William L.
Reynolds, ST., one of the best
known and most highly respected
farmers in Blackbird Hundred. It
was celebrated at his home on the
DUPONT Boulevard about one mile
south of this town. Mr.. Reynolds
was born on February 19, 1847,
and has lived on his farm during
his entire life except eight years.
Though he has outlived most of
his boyhood friends and acquaint-
ances he still is in good health but
his eyesight and hearing are i'm
paired somewhat. One of his Civil
war rellcS IS the cap OF a Con-
federate soldier killed at the battle
of Bull Run. It was picked up by
his sister on the battlefield after
the sanguinary eng a g m n t.
Through the cap are two holes
bored by Union bullets, one of
which killed the soldier. On De-
cember 16, 1873, Mr.Reynolds mar
ried Miss Lucy Bratton. They had
lived together for 56 years when
she died on January %, 1929. They
had two children, both of whom
are living. One is Frederick A.
Reynolds, merchant, of Odessa; the
other, William L. Reynolds, Jr.,
who lives at Blackbird. One of
the great sources of happiness for
the veteran agriculturist is that he
has four grandchildren and five
at-grandchildren In politics,
Mr. Reynolds has been a lifelong
Democrat, but never an officehold-
er, although importuned in earlier
life to stand for office

The Future of Forty

the value of sanity and mature judgment--but, of course. they rightly demand a young forty.
 "The bete noire of forty" con- tinued, "is wrinkles-the grave yard of youth. The woman of forty should not begrudge ten or fifteen minutes each night spent on her appearance. Let her start with a |youthifying cleansing cream made with essence of water lilies. Follow with a liquid stimulant and a youthifying tissue cream, while the skin is still glowing-patted well over the cheeks and forehead and. fingerprinted around the eyes. If she does this, this activity and discipline will be good for forty's outlook on life-and her future."
 Gan woman of forty actually feel young?" Sally asked, her eyes wide open.
 "She can. The great French novelist, BalZac, wrote book on the woman of forty. His theme was that at 40 a new emotional life be- gins. It frightens some women be- cause they are unprepared. Let women prepare for it; for youth can come again at any age.
 Success at forty depends on a woman's looks and appearance of youth. For further detailed in- formation on how to look your best at forty and over, write to Helena Rubinstein (Pefs sonal Service) 8 East 57th street, New York city.

That's frightful. For how long?"
 "Six months. But just let them wait. They'll be surprised when they see what a hole they've got themselves into. Let them see if they can find anyone to swim the fifteen hundrede meters in twenty minutes and thirteen seconds for them. They'll find themselves in the soup, the whole lot of them in the club. That's all. I shall resign from the club for good. That's what I shall do. That's what they'll get for disqualifying me. But you know, May, this is only the beginning, the beginning of the end. For a time you can struggle on and keep your head above water and play the game as best you can. Then you get knocked on the head and you drop. You're finished.

As we emerged from the park headed for my penthouse apart ment on Central Park West, Sally laughingly confided in me that most of the older women in her sisters crowd were worried about the age of forty. They showed great anxiety about lines, double chin and fallen contour.
 They don't seem to worry so much about thirty-odd. Most of them are around thirty now. They think that's a most fascinating age. Some artist once said so in an interview. But they lose courage when they face the notion of for ty."

 Mays voice began to tremble, and her eylashes were wet with tears. So she hurriedly took out an- other cigarette. Martin did not so much as glance up. He merely sew ed on blindly at furious speed. He had the feeling in his throat that he would have swallowed his Adams apple.
 "I see. And so you're simply go- ing away. And that ends everything And I've got to stay on here when it's all over" he asked, in an ab- rupt, deep voice that was new and unrecognizable.
 "Why should you say that? Of course it's bad luck that we are leaving so suddenly and just when I am agnry with you. Yes, 1t is true I'm angry with you, Martin. But that doesn't mean it is all over. What an ideal Why, in four weeks you'll be in Berlin! By that time 1t will all be better and then it will soon come right"
 "No, mo-" said Martin stubborn ly, and shook his head.
 "Oh, come now-just look up at me, Martin"
 ''No, mo-" said he. Nothing will come right. It will never be better. It will all get worse. And I shall not come to Berlin either. There is no question of my swimming for the club. They're withdrawn my name. They've struck me off. I'm disqualified"

 Drownings Are Numerous.

no pldC6 LO COOl OlL put III tIle TAVeT. Drownings Are Numerous.
 So far to date this year there
 have been hundreds of drownings
 among children. And the summer
 is not even we'll started. Pick up any paper of any city
 at random and read where one or six children have been drowned
 the day before in lake or river,
 the only place they could cool off after a hot restless night in their tenement or back-street rooms. We inoculate against diphtheria
 and smallpox, we fuss about ade-
 holds and tonsils and pay doctors in our schools to look over gener- al health conditions. We pay boards of health to keep down epi- denies. But we do not think of automobile accidents or drownings except in terms of drivers and parents.
 We need-not one or two city pools, in every city, where the chill | dren cannot reach them, but many
 neighborhoods pools. A vacant lot, some piping ana concrete does not cost so very much.
 We also need many small neigh 1 borhood parks accessible to homes, where children can be out of
 harms way, and where their moth CTS will know they are safe. Are not these things as impor- tant as new public buildings? Many of the old ones are still good. Why tear them down to put up l new ones, when the children are ] being killed in epidemic numbers
 each year?

 By Olive Roberts Barton
DON'T FORGET THE


 CHILD, UNCLE SAM! If congress votes the five billion dollars for relief of employment, 1t is a matter of conjecture about what shall be done with the money.
 The different states will prob ably be apportioned their pro rata share to use in building or con- struction worK as they see fit.
 In the meantime, the states are endeavoring to put through emer- gency programs of their own in various ways.
 What kind of building will be undertaken by these government bodies? Everyone is wondering. Will men be put to work on new buildings? Will roads be started that otherwise would have to wait for years? Will water fronts be cleaned up and beautified? Will bridges and dams be constructed that cannot be financed by the riv- CTS and harbors appropriations? Probably all of these things will come in for their share of putting hard times behind us, and giving men work. Perhaps I am count ing chickens too soon, for congress is still thinking over that little sum of money. Have you ever stopped to think what five billion dollars means, or two, or one?
 However-in case! I am going to put my word in here and now for the children.
 Many of the new enterprises would be carried on in cities. And children live in cities, millions of them. And they die in cities. A great many of them because they have no place to play but the street. Many because they have
