AGE AND MENTAL HEALTH

One of the pathetic sights of daily
life is to not the many families in
which some elderly person is losing
his or her mind. 1t is a pathetic
thing to see some bright and useful
person thus going to pieces, losing
the qualities that made such a one
so fine and useful. II is like some
decayed old mansion, once the home
of cheerful activity and laughter and
song, but now vacant and falling in
to ruin, while foul creatures of the
nightly through the empty halls.
And yet there are many old peo-
pie who preserve full mental Vigor
until the day they die. When people
grow old, how can they prevent this
tragic loss of mental power?
We should have to look to the
for scientific answer,
but the observant person will have
some idea about it. Anxiety and
fretting must tend to destroy mental
power Serene and placid people
would seem TO have the best chance
nf keeping their faculties to the last.
Maintaining a constant habit of
activity tends to preserve mental
power. When men retire from busi-
ness at an early age, or lose their
jobs, and when such ones find no reg
llar occupation for their time, they
would appear in danger of going TO
seed.
The mind is like some fine ma
chime. If You allow ii to lie idle, il
is apt to become rusty. When a man
gets through his regular work in
;ome occupation. he needs some
nome labOrs that will keep him in
crested. When the woman is no
onger the house worker. she still
reeds some little task that will keep /
Ter from rusting out.

heir faculties to the last are apt 10 (

CONSTRUCTION PROBLEM
GAINS GREATER ATTENTION

The Federal government has start
ed a nationwide farm housing sur
vey to ascertain the potential de-
mand for improved home facilities,
the cost OF providing them, the de-
velopment of standard specifications
adapted to the needs of various
areas, and practical plans for finance
ing improvements and new build
ing.
II Is generally known that there is
tremendous umfulfilled demand for
new housing, in city as well as rural
areas, due to the lack of building for
five or six years. and to the high rate
of depreciation of existing struc-
lures.
One of the great stumbling blocks
to building now is that banks are
unable to loan funds because of in
elastic laws, and the interest rates
charged by other agencies are often
so high as to discourage the pros
pective builder. Both private and
public agencies are now working on
the financing problem to develop
some plan whereby money can he
Illdut dNdlldult iNt CuhSti utAlOn at
reasonable interest rates. and still
earn fair profit. There is also hope
that there will be sufficient change
in the banking situation to permit
a little more leeway in making build
ing loans on the basis of an appli-
cant's general character and Tepu-
tation. instead of on his liquid assets
only.
IL a major building wave can be
started. on the farms and in cities.
one of the biggest steps toward re-
cOvery and stability will have been
laken.
In the meantime, those who can
build or repair now will be benefit
ing themselves and the nation by
starting construction dollars rolling,

USES FOR POOR LAND

One of the problems before the
governments agriculture program is
what to do with poor land. Millions
of acres are being cultivated which
would better be allowed to grow up
to forests. The over production by
use of such poor land keeps prices
low, and reduces the farmers to pow
erty.
A cattle expert from South Africa
recently in this country says that
the cattle of that continent thrive on
lands so poor that American cattle
would grow thin on them. A few of
these cattle have recently been i'm
ported to Texas, to see how they
would fare in this country. II they
can live on poor lands, it would
solve a problem for many a farmer.

NEATNESS

If a young man applies for job
in a store, and if he needs shave
and his clothes are frayed and rag
ged. his chances are poor. II a
young man gets a job in an office.
and his desk looks disorderly and he
litters papers all around, his chances
of promotion or of keeping his job
are not hopeful.
People are apt to realize this. but
they fail to also realize how they
injure their standing when they do
not keep their home places in neat
condition. Such ones are viewed
with disapproval. If they want any
thing in the community, they are
likely to find this unfavorable inn
preston working against them. If
they will clean up the home place,
and make a fresh start OF neatness,
their business and social standing
will improve.

LIVING WITH THE PARENTs

A great number of young people
are said to have gone back to their
old homes to live with their parents.
as the result of being out OF work.
The statistics of unemployment are
thereby rendered somewhat unre-
liable. When Johnny and Mrs. John
ny trek back to the old home town
/ to live with Father because the job
in the mill gave out. it does not
necessarily follow that Johnny is
unemployed. He probably works
harder than ever, milking the cows
or tending counter in Fathers store.
There are probably a million or two
people who would be considered un-
employed, who are really working
after that manner.
How far do the two generations
succeed in living together comfort
ably? 1t is customarily said that
young married people need a home
of their own. But none of them
should think they can't live comfort
ably in the old home.
Back In our great grandfather's
days, probably half the young men
lived ON with their parents, and
brought their wives into The family
domicile. There were very few di
vorces in those days. They were all
busy working.
When Johnny got through hoeing
the corn. and Mary got through the
eternal sweeping and washing, they
were both so tired that they went to
bed early. There was no question
whether they should go out to some /
night club. Mary was not kicking |
because Johnny spent Saturday af- /
ternoon playing golf, and John did /
not kick because Mary was constant
ly going out TO the bridge parties.
If all hands in a doubled up home
will take hold and work for the COM

will become dearer 10 each other.

NOT JOES FAULT

Cronin meanwhile hardly can be blamed for the decline of his champion Senators. The pitching staff that performed 50 consistent ly last year sagged right from the start of the 1894 season. Neither Al Crowder nor Earl Whitehill, ex- cept in flashes, have shown any thing like their winning form of last season when together they collected 46 victories.
 Heinie Manush has been enjoy ing another big year at bat, lead ing the American league list, and Cronin was fortunate to have such fine third base replacement as the hard-hitting Cecil Travis. but these advantages have been offset by a series of accidents, costing the club the services of Luke Sewen, No backstop, and Joe Kuhel, star first baseman.
 Cronin himself until lately had not been hitting up to his normal stride and the trade of Goose Cos lin to the Tigers for Jonothar Jones did not work out to the ad- vantage of the Senators. The Goose has been outhitting Stone by more than 35 points.

WILL UTILIZE
 CALF TENDONS
 FOR NET BATS

BEVERLY HILLS, Aug. "A fel- low named Achilles, mythology has it, was vulnerable in the heel, but the tendon which bears his name may produce string for tennis racquets tougher than anything yet used for this purpose.
 Tests made at the University of Southern California laboratory here by Dr. Ernest A. Rayner showed that string made from the tendon of calf's heel withstood the pounding of tennis balls for an accumulative effort of 3O8,961 blows, while the closest rival, the best grade of sheepgut commonly used in racquets, was more than B ,000 strokes behind. Other speci- mems were some 100000 blows be- hind, all of them ranging from 245,248 blows to 198,083 blows be- fore they broke.
 Elasticity tests showed the new string to vary only centimeters in deflection as against 21a to 5 centi- meters for the other strings tested. Put to the extreme humidity test, the string made from the calf's tendon, after being soaked half an hour in water, came back to it's original starting point, while the other speciments' showed deflec- tion of from 2 to centimeters.
 The tests, Dr. Rayner said showed the new string not only to be more rugged, but also that it would ewit hstan d atmospheric changes better, retaining it fine tension essential to championship play.
 The string is made through a complicated process. Dried calf's tendons are exploded under press ure into fine fiber, which is squn use into fine fiber. which is spun and then woven into cord which is polished down to standard string sizes.

M'CREDIE DIES,
 GAME GOES ON
Walter McCredie is dead.

WdltcI MCSlCOlC 10 NSoA'
 The following article by the Associated Press, under date of July 30, dateline Portland, Oregon, will be read by all baseball fans:
 It was his wish. as Walter Mo Credie lay dying that baseball game in his honor be played to- night, as scheduled. So his play CTS and his friends will carry on.
 McCredie, 57 years old, who won five pennants for the Portland baseball club in the eighteen years he managed that Pacific Coast League unit, had said baseball is my life" and in conscious moments and in delirium yesterday before he sank into his last sleep last evening, his words were of the game.
 I'm going" he whispered few moments before he died. T want to be remembered to everybody" !" He smiled. T want this game to go on for the sake of my wife"
 Beset by illness, handicapped by a team of rockies which the man. agement banded together after "liquidating" last years Coast champions, McCredie gave every ounce of energy he had this season to build the Beavers, into a winning team. It crushed his because they could not pull out of the cell lar position in the league, ans 4s'
 Loved by his players, who knew how their manager suffered be- cause of their inability to pro duce," McCredie was to have been honored by his young athletes to- night in a "McCredie game" at Vaughn Street Park.
 Death took him on the eve of this demonstration of loyalty.
 There will be aching heats to- night as "the old mans" players take the field to meet the Sacra- mento team in the t'McCredie game" The proceeds will go to the wife of the tall Scot.

TEAM GETS WORKOUT
 LAST EVENING
E. E. Slender Organizing Eleven for H. M. S.
 Danae Competition

More than 20 candidates turned out last evening at the City Ball Park for the first practice in preparation for the forthcoming soccer contest to be held probably August IA, while the HM.S. Danae is in Juneau. The British cruiser is due, to. arrive August Il.
 E. E. Slender is in charge of organizing the team of eleven play CTS who will face the Britishers, and from the nationalities of the candidates, it will be a case of Great Britain against the world.
 Of seven experienced players who have already turned out, Slender, played in Germany; Ronald Lister and Cliff Mason with Canadian teams; Tommy Larsen in Norway Eddie Dull and Robert Bonner in Seattle and Dan Livie in Portland.
 Experienced Players
 There are said to be many out standing soccer players in Juneau who have gravitated here for one reason or another, and although most of them have had very little recent play, confidence is felt that with a week or so of practice a very creditable team can be worked up,
 Slender himself played his last game in 1926, two days before leav- ing his home in Germany to come to the United States. In that game his home town team, repre- senting a population of about 15,- 900, held the Hamburg Sport Club from a city of 500,000, National Champions for five successive years, to a score of to l.
 Turnout Gratifying
 Considering the fact that there had been almost no previous an- nouncementto tof the practice of last night, the word having been passed around from person to person, the turnout was quite gratifying.
 According to MT. Slender, ex- perience is not absolutely neces- sary, although it helps a great deal, the prime requisites being speed, wind. and headwork There will no doubt be a few places on the team for young fellows without much. previous training
 It is planned to hold practices each evening at 6:30 o'clock when the park is not in use for baseball games and other afternoons at 4:30 o'clock.
