WORKERS training.

With the continual lengthening
of the average age of all the peo-
pie. there is bound to come a
higher percentage of employment
of older workers. There won't be
enough young people to do all the
work required to supply the needs
of the whole population.
Along with the greater oppor-
tunity for continued earnings in
advancing years there is certain
to be more emphasis upon old
age pensions in one form or an
other. The committee anticipates
an increase of SO per cent in
the employment of persons be-
tween As and ga.
At the same time. greater at
tention can be given to the de-
velopment of technical skills am
ong the young, so that their op-
portunity for well-paid employ
ment will be broadened The per-
iod of vocational education may
be much longer. Today few quail
fy to practice medicine under 80;
few become masters of radio and
Iairplane engineering much young
er. With the increasing complexity
of industry, more young folk will
need longer training.

CHANGES modes
The shift in the balance between
old and young people will result
in many changes of ways of liv-
ing and looking at life. Two
thirds and more of the people
living at any one time will have
passed the adolescent age and
will have mature tastes and hab-
its and more mature outlook
on the world around them.
Those considerations will affect
business and industry. There will
be a decline in the baby carriage
trade, for example, and an increas-
ing demand for easy chairs. There
will be fewer children in the
schools but a larger proportion
of them will probably go to high
schools and colleges. This will re-
duce the number of teachers, but
that should be compensated for by
better qualified teachers.
On the whole, 1 imagine the
American people of 1880 will not
only be older but better educated
and wiser.

Several groups have started

neither men lived to realize their

to find out the cause of all these
failures. To my great surprise the

educaten race leaders. They claim

AS we all know, play is as neces-
sary as work, especially with chill
dren. In fact, our hardest working
citizens find time to play or re-
create. Their employers see to
this by giving them days off. But
heretofore they had to spend
their sparely salary at a theatre,

There are about 130 million peo-

about 15S millions.
Those are conclusions reached
by the COMMITTEES on Population
of the National Resource Commit
tee in recent report to the Pres

clusion by sstadying the statistics
of deaths and births over many
jyears past. The time is rapidly ap-
preaching when the number of
persons who die each year will
just about equal the number of
babies born, and the population

One reason for the increase in
the average age is that more of
the babies born live to grow up.
Another reason is that grown-ups
live longer than they used to. A
few hundred years ago the aver
age expectation of life" for new
born babies was less than twenty
years. Now it is nearer forty. And
the man or woman who lives to
forty can reasonably expect, bar
ring accidents, to live to sixty or
older.
Less than 100 years ago men
of 80 were regarded as middle
aged; at so they were almost SEN

DUAL ROAD PROGRESS

The State Highway Department
has completed repairing and resur-
facing of the secondary streets and
roads in Roselle and Brack-Ex. The
project was in progress for the
past two weeks and several of the
streets which had large ruts and
holes We're regarded and the holes
patched with amiesite The streets
were then resurfaced with a coat
ing of oil and road tar covered with
small crushed stone chips The
streets imprved included Wash
ington, Elizabeth, Marion, and
North Clifton Avenues, Roselle,
and South Clifton, Exmore, Cen
trail, Brighton, Brookside, and Mar
ion Avenues in Brack-Ex. Pro-
gress is being made by A. Petrillo
and Company and other sub-con-
tractors on the construction of the
new dual highway between Els
mere and Prices Corner. The sur
face water sewer has been extend
ed as far as South Woodward Av-
enue, Roselle, leaving only few
blocks to go to reach Prices Cor
ner and the entire south portion Of
the inbound lane has been con-
structed from Chestnut Run. Oak
Grove, to Lincoln Avenue, Elsmere.
The worl1men completed pouring
concrete on that section Thursday.
Workmen of the Delaware Power
and Light Company have been en-
gagged in erecting new telegraph
poles in the center space between
the proposed two lanes of the high

FIRE IN "WHOPPING"
CAUSES BLAZE

The tap of the fire bell called out
the Citizens Hose Company and a
number of people on Thursday
night. the occasion being the burn
ing Of the house Of William Thorn
as Hill, in 'Whopping." BY the
time they got there (and the hose
carriage was on the way almost at
the tap of the bell) the upper part
Of the house was all in a blaze. 1t
did not take long to extinguish it,
but before a well directed stream
had been put on it the roofs of the
two adjoining houses built close to
it were on fire, but damaged much
less by it than by the water. The
fire originated from lamp, vague
ly stated as the result of an ex-
plosion, causing the loss of every
thing in an upstairs room where it
occurred, including all the clothing
of the members of the family ex-
cept what they had on. The house
which was purchased some two
years ago by Hill was afterwards
made almost like a new house. The
loss on the house, furniture and
clothing will be over $500. Hill
had an insurance on the property
which he let lapse several months
ago, and thus loses all except what
has been made up to him by pri-
vate subscription.

REV. G.. S. SWEEZEY LEAVES
FOR BATAVIA N V

Rev. G. S. Sweeney, who has
been supplying the pulpit of the
Presbyterian Church of this town
during the summer preached his
farewell discourse on Sunday
morning to large and sympa-
thetic audience. The congregation
would have liked to have held on
to him longer, and such a relation
ship would doubtless have been
agreeable to him but for the de-
termination on graduating at the
Princeton Theological Seminary in
June to take post graduate
course to equip himself for min
isterial work. Mr.. Sweezey's short
pastorate in Smyrna has been re-
markably successful. He has that
style as a public speaker that gets
the sympathetic attention of his
auditors, and makes little thing
appear alike as interesting as a
larger whatever is said or
done to be just the right thing. It
is a rare faculty, aided largely
doubtless by a warmth of social
intercourse that characterizes him
out of the pulpit. He left yester-
day for a short visit to his home,
near Batavia, N. Y, before return
ing to Princeton.
