Passing of an Era. One of the more melancholy items of the fall the announcement that the magazine Life had been sold and would no longer be pub lished humorous periodical. To the present-day generation this te to oldSterS or those who came before the war it means quite little. It was lesurely and good-natured humor that Life offered it's readers It took up few battles and then, but it stopped long enough to get lost It fitted the pre-war era a glove does the hand It had in it strong avorng of the pleasant aspects of the gay 90s It keyed to the tempo of world that was just beginning to like the automobile the wireless, the air plane. It was dignifed in its fun. After the war America somehow moved away from it. To the not So-od old timer who remembers Le's heyday the news of its passing from the old form must as gentle reminder that times change and must learn to keep pace with them do not wish to become mere back wash.
