TO A ROASTING EAR .;-
Here's to the king-pin Of sum-

Here's to the king-pin Of sum-
mer. the COOL old American roast
ing ear" It is one of the reasons
we can stand the heat and the sun
the fact that summer time means
roasting ear" time. In the old days
they used to roast the corn on the
cob, but that was when the hunter
couldn't be bothered with toting
pot in which to boil the corn, as we
do today but preferred to toss the
ear into the ashes and embers Of
campfire. Ask any Kennewick man
which way he would rather take his
corn. There Is a different taste to
it when it is baked and when it is
boiled in water. This is an ode to
corn on the cob, however it is pre-
pared-the golden grain of the gods,
which finds its proper place on the
tables of both the rich and the poor.
Plentiful in number, all manner Of
men find it within his means. There
may be proper ways to hold it, for
we have noticed the new-fangled
corn-forks that stick in each end
OF the cob Ito keep your fingers
clean.) It matters not how you bite
it, nor how thickly you butter it,
whether you spread it from ear to
ear or nibble daintily, it still re-
mains the most satisfying vegetable
that pops from the ground. There
are no holds. barred in corn-eating.
The fellow who comes out the same
after eating as he was when he be-
gan, does not know the JOY there is
in getting butter on your nose. The
sorriest sight is the fellow who can
no longer dig down to the cob with
his mouth spread wide, but is forced
to cut the grains off the cob in or
der to eat it at all. That Is when
you really realize that the years are
many.
So let's boil 'em and butter 'em,
salt 'em and pepper 'em, hold them
in each hand and start to work our
way across each row with as much
grace as you can manage. Dis
regard appearances, the effects will
wash off and the roasting ear sea-
son Is too short anyhow to waste
time figuring out how to handle
them without getting an earful.

 And on the basis of continued con- quest of disease the average child born 25 years hence will live 5 to 10 years longer than one born this year The 1900 infant had a pros- pect of living until 49, and the 193o baby to reach 61. The 1863 babys life expectancy should be 66; per- haps II.
 Nation of Graybeards?
 This increase, coupled with a de- clining birth rate, is enlarging the proportion of elderly persons in our population. But don't be afraid that we soon will be a nation of graybeards. The change within the next century will be scarcely per- ceptible.
 Nor is soft living and machine age strain making Americans de- teriorate physically. College boys and girls of today are taller and heavier than those of the last gen. eration.

 Meanwhile, our now slightly predominant male population is to become more feminine, the average woman living three years longer than the average man.
