THEY live on their memories"
4 How often you see the SEN
tence written about old people
Usually, too, the old people written
about are those who have kept alive
their sense of the onward sweep Of
life, never losing their interest in
humanity. its defeats or its victories.
Memories are the food upon
which we must depend for heart
sustenance when we are old. Like
squirrels, each Of us daily stores up
such food for our winter years. If
Destiny lends us long life, they are
sure to come, the bleak, white years
when the flame Of our being flick
ers low before the final fade-out.
Yet how little thought we give to
what those memories shall bel
Sometimes we have hidden away
the evil deeds we have done, the
harsh words we have said, Such
food makes starvation diet for the
time when we must all have a little
sweetening to sustain us. Succulent,

these are the calOrieS we shall wish
to count when our three score years
have come upon us.
Women, especially, both because
they usually live longer than men,
and because their opportunities for
active work after middle age are
fewer, eventually find the slow pro-
cess of creating memories as they
create life one of utmost import
ance. It is UnWise to depend for
happiness when you are old upon
your children, since from them you
will be separated by a generation,
nor upon friends, who may have
passed into deaths darkness before
you, nor upon ties made after active
existence is done, because these are

City Health Chief Urges Rest as
Cure for Sufferers.

Although there is an increase in
Influenza types of colds in Indi-
annapolis, DR.. Herman Morgan, City
Health Officer, said today there was
no indication Of a serious influenza
epidemic.
The great number of colds prev
alent now is customary at this
time of the year." Dr. Morgan said.
There are three periods of the
year when colds are prevalent. The
first is in September and october,
when the first fires are built. The
second comes around the Christmas
holidays, and the third is in Feb
ruary and early March"
DR.. Morgan characterized the
colds which are attacking indiana
apoliS citizens at this time as hav-
ing certain symptoms Of influenza.
He said they we're cured most effec-
lively by keeping the patient in bed
for a period of "a to 48 hours.

F FAVORS
END To COUNTY
ATTORNEYS
Former Prosecutor in ArIing-
ton Urges One for Each
Judicial Circuit

Abolition Of the office Of Com
monwealth attorney in each Vir.
ginia county and substitution of
a salaried prosecutor for each
judicial circuit in the State
should be provided by the Vir-
ginia Assembly, now in session,
according to William C. Cloth,
prominent Arlington county law
yer and former Commonwealth
attorney Of Arlington county. He
declared:
"A good man should be ap-
pointed prosecutor in each cir
cult to handle the criminal
prosecutions. just as the Judge
Of each circuit hears each
case. He should stick to the
criminal prosecution exclusively
and should be paid a good
salary.
Saving FOreSeen
'T believe great benefits and
savings would be effected if
this change is made. It would
greatly reduce the number of
prosecutors in the State and at
the same time would aid in the
operation Of Justice"
Mr.. Cloth struck at the pay
ment Of fees to Commonwealth
attorneys. He said:
cable men should be selected
and they should be paid sal
aries in keeping with their po-
SitiOns. A good man is worthy
Of his hire but should not be
put on commission or piece
work basis"
Eliminates 66 Posts
Under the proposal of Cloth,
who is rated one of the most
able lawyers in northern Vir-
ginia, the number of prosecutors
would be reduced to "a, the mum.
ber Of judicial districts. That
would mean the elimination of
66 Commonwealth attorneys. The
action could be taken by the AS.
sembly acting under constitu.
tional amendment. Judge Cloth
declared:
1T is a sensible move. It
would put the office of Com
monwealth attorney on a BUSH
ness basis and would prevent a
great deal of waste"

Instrument Inventor
, Proves long-FeIt
Want Fulfilled

Samson cracked the skulls OF
the Phillistines with the jawbone
Of a jackass, but it took William T
Paulson to turn this war club into
musical instrument.
Paulson, who has been knocking
about radio studios in New York
Washington and other cities for
10. these many years, has perfected
an instrument which, he says, will
do more than "slay" the radio
audience.
Paulson took the jawbone of a
South American jackass, treated
1t chemically, and introduced it
the other day to Emo Rapee, the
Columbia Broadcasting System
maestro, who is Paulson's -oss.
Rapee said he wasn't sure
whether the thing would be suit
able for radio work or not. Paul
son, an experienced percussionist,
declared, however, that the new
instrument could bray, whinny,
hee-haw-m fact, do everything
but sing "The Last Roundup"
Rapee finally decided:
We'll give it a trial"
The result, as broadcast over
WJSV and other Columbia sta
tions, bore out young Paulson's
assertion that top-notch orches-
ira should have at least one
jackasS in it's midst.

Famous Age-Limit Dispute
Increases Applications
For Examination
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

It will cost about $59,430 for
that nous age limit steno-
grapher-typist examination, &C.
cording to estimates of the Civil
Service Commission, based on
average costs.
This is the examination where
the age limit of applicants origi.
nally was set at 40 years and later,
because of insistent public clamor,
raised to SO years.
Up to the first closing date,
60,573 applications had been re-
ceived from persons under 40
years of age. Thereafter, when
the age limit was increased, 5,757
more applications we're received,
making a total of 66,330.
Applications Up
Under normal conditions, the
commission states, the number of
applications does not exceed 81, 900
and the cost would be about
$37, 1868.
Since July /, 1888, the com.
mission has announced 83 ex-
aminations and has given SO.
During the last fiscal year 100000
persons were examined, but this
fiscal year, in about six months,
the number of applicants has
reached 223,000.

MONEY SAVED
ALLOTTED To
SCHOOLS
More Than 70 Per Cent of
Taxes in Fairfax Appro-
priated for Education
BY JOHN E. TAYLOR,
Times Staff Correspondent

Ah$ucs StdIk correspondent
RICHMOND, Va. Jan. 15.-One
Of the greatest arguments for
elimination of many of the 100
county governments in Virginia
iS the administration Of the Byrd
road act Of 1882.
It is a well-known fact that
road and school administration
are two Of the most important
functions OF a county govern
rnent. Prior to adoption Of the
BYRD road act, roads were the
most important function Of a
county government, and more
money was expended on them
than on any other county govern
mental activity.
However, in 1882, the State
took over all roads in 96 of the
100 counties, total of approx
mately 10000 miles of roads for
the State to improve, repair and
maintain.
This left the counties with
school administration as their
greatest function.
20 Per Cent to Schools
Because of the Byrd road act,
more than 70 per cent Of the
county taxes in Fairfax county
90 to support the schools. Money
that otherwise would be taken
from the taxpayers directly for
county roads is now diverted to
the schools.
One of the questions being
asked by forward-looking Vir-
ginians is "why can't the State
take over the schools, too?"
Such a step would eliminate
the county boards Of education
and save their salaries and the
cost of the boards employees and
q county school system.
New tax sources are being
suggested by leaders in the ad-
ministration Of George c. Peery,
who will take office as governor
Of Virginia Wednesday,, it was
learned today.
At Odds Over Budget
Governor Elect Peery, as the
Washington Times pointed out, is
at odds with outgoing Gov. John
Garland Pollard over the budget
recommendations.
Governor Pollard has said the
Schols must get along on SILL
100000 for the next two years,
and Mr.. Peery is credited with
favoring an appropriation of ap-
proximately $16,000,000..
In order to patch up the diff
ference, representing the 30 per
cent cut made last year in school
funds, persons close to Mr.. Peery
say he favors reductions in the
present income tax exemptions to
produce about 100000 annually.
This suggested reduction would
mean single persons would pay
tax on an income Of $1,000, COM
pared with the present $1,000, and
on $4,000 instead of on $2,500.
The dependent exemptions would
be cut from $400 to 5000.
Other RevisiOns Planned
The scheme also contemplates
revision Of the taxes on wholesale
and retail merchants, to raise an
additional 100000. The plan
would be to raise the tax pur-
chases from 10 to 20 cents for
wholesalers and to base the tax
on retailers on sales instead of
purchases. A straight tax Of 20
cents on each $100 in sales would
be imposed on the retailers.
The incoming administration
leaders also are credited with
planning to collect another $780,
900 through gift tax similar to
the Federal act, and with taxes
on soft drinks and ticket sales at
theaterS.
Taxes also are proposed for
chain stores. bus transportation
receipts N cities and pipe line
systems. A so per cent reduction
in exemptions on beneficiaries
also Is proposed.
