Life After Forty

Life after forty presents dark aspect to work
men under the trend of the present day to shelve
them from industrial activities which, the American
Legion says is an unjust age bar in industry which
goes to the very root of modern social unrest.
At Eau Claire, Wis, Daniel j. Doherty, Woburn,
Mass, national commander of the American Legion,
in address declared that the Legion will fight
unjust age bar" There will be resort to senti-
mental appeal" he said, but plan to sit down
with those who are leaders in industrial and COM
mercial life of America, and see if we can bring to
them better understanding, in the practical terms
of dollars and cents, Of the faacy of junkng man
in the very prime of life
One of the leading columnists says that economic
ally, such regulation is the most absurd in
dustral scheme. He said that youth is dandy and
must be served but he banks the caution acquired
from the many bumps received from many years o.
work.
Young men engaged in work today must natur-
ally be handicapped by the thought that when they
reach forty they will be discarded a worn-out
chine 1t is almost impossible for a young man to
reach state of sefattainment at that time and the
vision of unemployment and being thrown upon 9TH

Boston Has Its
Beans, Nogales
Its Whiskers

Boston has its beams, New Or
leans its Mardi GraS, France it's
Paris, and NogaleS its whiskerS.
To the residents who have lived
within its boundries for the past
few weeks, this statement is SUI
ficient but to an outsider, he whose
eye will be thrilled with the sight
of the Frontier Fiesta, ct it be
known that never, since the period
when Kit Carson and Buffalo Bill
tracked the Indian and made havoc
among the bison heardS, has such
an aggregation of whiskers been
seen anyplace.
Whiskers of all sizes, shapes and
color are the necessary adornment
to the residents of Nogales, and
will be until the final curtain is
rung down April "a on the widest
and most bewhiskered celebration
ever held in the state.
Whiskers here, whiskers there,
whiskers everywhert, is the rule
here. Patriotism here during the
past weeks and for the period of
the big show, is viewed with SUI
sp1cion unless it is accompanied by
a beard.
The boards here mean boards,
not the scrawny, straggly illnour-
ished mustache of the modern drug
store cowboy, but real hosest to
goodness herman whiskers. It is
difficult to recognize old friends
except at close range and the for
titude of wives and sweethearts has
been nothing short of wonderful,
this trying period of growing 'em.
One thing is certain the idea of
growing whiskers in preparing for
the big celebration has done more
to center attention and interest on
the show than any other sngle
thing.
