YOUR AGE, MAJ"
So now Mrs. Allen is mad and
wants me to write a mean arti-
Gle about disrespectful chill
dren.
I shall do nothing of the sort.
I'm all for Dan. I admit he
was impertinent. But he was
extremely pertinent. His re-
marks were right to the point.
They were exactly like his silly
mother needs. They were the
most excellent mental hygiene.
Jaw, BE YOUR AGE!" AL
of us should be told that at
frequent intervals, particularly
when we begin to talk about the
Dear Old Days.
What is your age, anyway
thirty-five - forty7six - fifty
seven?
No, it isn't.
YOU'RE EXACTLY 1885.
YOU'RE AS OLD AS THE
SECOND OF TIME YOU ARE
LIVING Inland AS YOUNG.
And you're living-NOW!
MANY CHANGES
You're not living back In those
romantic days, Mama, when
they used to say you looked ex-
actly like a Gibson Girl
Nor are you functioning, Papa,
in UnaI proud era when you were
busting bicycle records.
This world has hoped thirty
years ahead into space since
those pastoral days and thrown
about a billion duck fits. It's
an entirely new world with an
entirely new set of ideas, Gus
toms, institutions and problems.
And if you're trying to meas"
ure up your life or your chill
dren's lives by the world you in
habited in 1905 you're certainly
out of luck. And somebody
should bawl: Jaw, BE YOUR
AGE!"

"One less hour under the cleo
trio light for one more hour in
the sunlight.
Zone less hour in the auto for
one more hour swinging along
on foot.
Zone less hour Of work for
one hour of physical examina"
ton by your doctor.
Zone less pound of body lat
for one more of tougher muscle.
Zone less helping of meat for
one more of vegetables.
Zone less cocktail for one
more hour of sleep."
The healthiest sections OF the
country are three States in the
Northwest and an area IN the
very middle of the United
States, extending from Texas to
the Canadian border. Science
Service made this deduction
from studies by life insurance
statisticians of the death rate
covering period of three years.
The two Dakotas, with only
eight deaths to each 1000 popu-
lation, were the banner States.
Next came the three States In
the northwest corner, Washing
ton, oregon, and Idaho, along
with the six in the middle belt
namely Nebraska, Kansas, Okla
homa, Minnesota, Iowa, ana
Wisconsin.
SANE LIVING
Their death rate was between
eight and nine. The Eastern
Seaboard, from Florida to
Maine, provided a group OF
States which showed an average
between 10 and II per thousand
while no States west of the
Mississippi fell in that category
The statisticians, in summing
up, said:
"The States on the Eastern
Seaboard and the adjoining
States are largely industrial in
character and while they are
doing fairly we'll, they have
difficulty in competing with
the States in the Middle West,
where agricultural conditions
make for a healthy way OF
life, aside from any advantage
that may exist there in the mat
ter of climate"
On the whole, though, and
with a most deprecatory bow
to California, Florida and other
grand but sensitive health re-
sorts, it doesn't seem to make
so much difference where one
lives as how one lives.

Are you careful not to hurt
the feelings of others?
You usually speak first and
think afterWard.
Sometimes that afterthought
is responsible for many unhap-
by moments.
It is not necessary to make
definite excuses for refusing to
fall in with plans voiced by
others.
But it is desirable that you
couch your excuse or regrets in
terms that are not too abrupt
or offensive.
Many persons are thoughtless
in this regard.

other and the water is vapor-
lied into Steam-a gas.
Air is a mechanical mixture
of nitrogen and oxygen gases.
At ITO degrees the molecules Of
each are in such a violent state
of molecular agitation that
every one flies from every other.
Very intense cooling is neces.
sary to turn them to liquid, and
the lowest temperatures are re-
quired to enable them to regain
all of their grip, and become q
hard solid.
To discover the nature of this
internal agitation, which so pro-
foundry alters the condition of
various substances, we have to
look within the molecule.
All molecules are built of
still smaller units called atoms.
which are the chemical building
blocks of Nature. The steel mole
Guile is a chemical combination
of atoms of iron, carbon, silicon,
and several other elements. The
rubber molecule is principally
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
A molecule of water is composed
of two atoms of hydrogen and
one of oxygen. Air is not a
chemical combination, but q
mechanical mixture of nitrogen
and oxygen molecules.
INTENSIFIED MOTION
But what is it that tempera.
ture does to these atoms to
cause their molecules to sepa-
rate from each other, and
thereby lose their grip? We
must look inside the atom for
this answer.
Atoms are built of positive
and negative charges of electri-
city called protons and cleo
irons. The protons and a few
electrons form a central nu-
cleus. Other eIectrons revolve
around this nucleus, and when
we heat them it makes the
outer electrons rotate more Wig
orously.
It is this intensified motion
which makes the atoms bounce
from one another. This causes
the molecules to eparate,
which reduces their power to
grip one another, which in turn
breaks down their rightly.
Heat, therefore. is the cause
of all degrees of softness. In
the complete absence of it-ab-
solute zero-every substance in
the universe becomes hard and
brittle.

Hinged by the rising sun,
And in the dawn they floated on,
And mingled into one;
thought that morning cloud best
It moved so sweetly to the vest
saw two summer currents
Flow smoothly to their meeting,
And join their course, with silent force,
In peace each other greeting;
Calm was their through banks Of green,
While dimpling eddies played between.
Such be your gentle motion,
Till lifes last pulse shall beat;
Like summers beam, and summers stream,
Float on, in joy to meet
A camer sea- where storms shall cease,

BONUS BILL
Will Kill Amendment To Pay
Money Out OF Work-Relief
Funds

WASHINGTON, April 25 Up) -
The senate finance committee ap-
proved the Harrison compromise
soldier bonus bill today after writ
ing into the measure a provision
authorizing President Roosevelt to
pay the veterans adjusted service
certificates with money in the $4,-
00O,O00,00OO work relief fund.
The plan to permit the President
to use the relief fund for bonus
payments was advanced by Sen.
Thomas p Gore, (Dem), Oklahoma.
and approved, IL to Z.
Chairman Pat Harrison, (Dem0 !,
mississippi, explained it as purely
a permissive proposition" and said
Mr.. Roosevelt would never in the
world think" of using such authority.
The committee reported out the
Harrison measure without record
vote after approving, IL to 8, mo-
sion by the chairman to substitute
the bill for the American legion plan
which does not specify method of
payment.
Earlier, Sen Bennett Champ
Clark, (Dem), Mo-, had obtained
adoption of a motion to substitute
the legion proposal for the Patman
81, ,0O0, 100000 currency expansion
measure which passed the house.
The committee adopted an amend
ment by Sen. Tom Connally, CDem),
Texas, giving veterans the privilege
| of accepting cash or negotiable
bonds under the Harrison bill.
,, 1t defeated, II to 7, proposal by
Gore to authorize the President to
negotiate new agreements with
foreign debtors and to use money
collected on the war debts for bonus
payments. Gore said he would offer
the plan again when the senate be-
gins consideration. of the bill.
Without a record vote, the COM
mittee approved an amendment by
Harrison to extend until Jan. 2, 1887,
the time in which veterans may ap-
ply for adjusted service certificates.
He explained that the proposal was
sponsored by Frank T. Hines, vet
erans' administrator, as a means of
benefiting soldiers who have not yet
sought certificates.
