How Old Is Old?
Cincinnati Enouirer.)

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 It is high time that someone along with enough scientific jargon behind him to refute the reckless assumption that old ofter 40. Dr Walter R. Miles, President of the American Psy- choogca Association has undertaken just this task and has brought plenty of psychological proof to support his contention
 The latter half of a mans life is almost explored from the standpoint of psychology, Miles points out. Eyesght, memory, imagination, judg- ment-these abilities do not decline with the years nearly so rapidly as has been supposed. Even physical abilities do not deteriorate much. His major conclusion is that corporations which refuse to hire men 40 in many doing themselves and the country disservice
 The cry has gone out repeatedly in the last de- cade or two from men who should know better that the Nations troubles have from having aged hands at the throttle Young blood has been the battle cry of those who would remedy our Ills by wave of the hand.
 But perhaps the reverse is true. Certainly the principal lack in our industry and finance has of youth but of maturity. And maturity-although in a football player it is 25-is likely to be 50 or SO or even 70 in lawyer, industrialist, banker or statesman.
 We might draw lesson from the French-where old age regns supreme in the family, in business in finance in government France is guided by Iseptugenarians in its economic and political life and France is the stablest and most prosperous nation in the world today.
 How old must a be to be "old?" This is something for psychologists and biologists to study and something for employers of men to reconsider

a DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

WRITING mystery story these
w days seems to be chiefly a
matter Of thinking up some inge-
NOUS twist to the plot that no one
has thought Of using before. II you
do that, evidently, your book sells,
no matter how incredible, stiff or in
volved it may be.
Current mystery yarns offer sew
eral examples of this sort of thing.
One is Dead Mans Music" by
Christopher Bush Crime Club, $2)
In this story supposed suicide is
found hanging in a deserted house.
When it is found that the body was
shaved after death, however, Scot
land Yard gets busy-all this hap
pens in England, by the way-and
after much scampering about code
message, which helps solve the
whole business, Is discovered in a
musical composition written some
time before by the murdered man.
All Of this, you see, is highly in
genious. But the story itself is SIM
ply silly.
Then we have Murder by Jury
by Ruth Burr Sanborn Oittle,
Brown, so. In this one woman
juror is slain by poison while the
jury is celebrating in a murder
case.
That makes a novel situation, but
the author fails to make her story
believable, and the whole thing falls
Of its own weight.
"Cakes to KILL" by Henry CharI-
ton Beck Outton, $2) is less 1ngeni-
Gus, but more ably handled. There
are two murders in a New Jersey
town, and it looks on the surface as
if they result from a row be-
tween two factions In an Episcopal
church.
A priest and an ex-newspaper
man club together to solve them,
and the story is interesting through
out.

Rose laughed. Come on, you
know you're pleased that Susan has
this chance"
Indeed I'm not. 1t will be put

and no good will come Of it."
Susan tried not to listen. They
had been over all this before during
the last few days.
Rose leaned over and took the
white lace frock from Susan. Here,

gers, she arranged the dress. There,

her fingers. The sheer undertakings,
the stockings. Rose had lent her
all Of these. Dear, good Rose! Kind
Rose! She would make it up to her
some day.
Aunt Jessie had been bitter over
the purchase of the slippers, but
Susan, usually so docile, had held to
her determination to get them. She
must be dire ;sed properly. She laid
reverent fir ers on the white lace,
dreaming.
Aunt Jessie's voice recalled her.
High time you were in bed" she
was saying. Susan looked up with
the dream still in her eyes. She
was seeing, not middle-aged wom-
an in a worn black dress, but a
smooth and polished dance floor, on
which white-frocked girl floated
in the arms of tall young man.

pirouetted around the sitting room.

goose" she said. Just be friendly
and nice.
MY mother always says that one
beau attracts others, and think
she's right. Anyhow, be nice to him
at this party"
II will" Susan promised. She
told herself she would try to be
friendly, but If Ben started any
more nonsense about wanting to be
engaged, she'd have to snub him.
She went about her work Friday
almost in a daze. Her face was hot
and her hands were like ice. She
thought several times, wildly, OF
sending a telegram to Denise to say
she was Ill, but always the thought
Of seeing Bob Dunbar deferred her.
Pierson snapped at her once or
twice during the afternoon, but she
scarcely heard him. Susan's
thoughts were all on the morrow.
Her heart would thud painfully at
the prospect. The fashionable world
in which Denise moved and had her
being was an uncharted land for
Susan. There we're no guideposts.
Through the whirlpool Of her reflec-
tons, there persisted the nagging
idea that Denise had some curious
purpose in inviting her. Again and
again Susan banished this thought.
Rose arrived at 8 o'clock with the
new dressing bag of green leather.
Its much too nice. I shall be
afraid something will happen to Il"
Susan worried
Aunt Jessie chimed in, II declare

on. House parties!" she shifted
"Tisn't as if I knew the young
lady's folks or anything"
1--WE told you,' Susan said pa
tiently, Gust who they are. Denise's
father is Samuel Ackroyd of that
old law firm. You're heard Of them
for years"
Aunt Jessie knitted on steadily,
her nose in the air. "Ackroyds!" she
repeated, moved by some fierce, in
ner disdain. Weren't they grocers
when my own father drove his two
black horses up and down Lake
street?
Indeed my father had nothing
to say to Ackroyds then. He was DR..
Thaddeus Carey!" she said to Rose,
who had heard the story a hundred
times before.
CUSAN folded a pair of gosSamer
| ~ stockings and tucked them into
the corner Of the bag. Aunt Jes-
sizes flow of conversation was not
stemmed.
Couldn't my father have bought
the Ackroyds lock, stock, and bar
rel in those days?" she demanded
Indignantly. Didn't the lake come
right up into our front yard and
the Ackroyds living in some hole
or corner out south?"
We'll" Rose supplied brightly,
they've come along since those
days. They've got scads of money
now and that's what counts
This decidedly was not the right
answer. Aunt Jessie glared at her

The last bar, that would make the opening
large enough for his body to pass through was
removed as Tarzan heard the prieSt-warriors
enter his prison. Long since had the rope of
hides been braided. To secure one end to the
remaining bar, that he had left for this pur-
pose, was the work of but minute. During
the pause after his enemies entered the
chamber, the brown body of the ape-man
slipped through the small aperture, diSap-
peared below the sill, and dropped to the
ground without.
