By LOGAN CLENDEN1NG, M. d

A GOOD many years ago I began
collecting books which tell you how
to keep young, or how to live COM
fortably to ripe old age.
There are quite a lot of them.
Heaven knows when the first ones
were written. The oldest one I have
is that of Arnold of Villanova, which
appeared in 1890 A. D.. Villanova
was Spaniard, friend of the con-
temporary popes and kings of Spain,
Naples and Sicily. King James OF
Spain asked him to write a treatise
on preserving youth, so he compiled
his defence of Age and Recovery
of YOUTH.
Francis Bacon, the philosopher
whom some misguided souls think
wrote Shakespeare, also published
such treatise.
There is kind of air of mortality
that hangs around these works.
There seems to be no surer way to
die young than to write treatise on
how to live long. Bacon died at 65,
and Villanova lived to be about 70,
surely no record for specialist on
longevity. The only advocates of a
system of long life who attained a
ripe age were an Italian, Louis Car
marc, and Metchnikoff, and they had
the canniness to wait until they were
old before giving advice on the sub
ject.
Latest Is FavOrite
But the latest edition to my COLI
lection is my favorite. 1t seems to
me that it gives the only sensible
advice l have ever heard on this de-
batable subject. It is called "Hoa0 to
Look Eleven Years Younger, by
Gelett Burgess.
Mr.. Burgess is not beautician;
he does not attempt to advise you
how to look IL years younger by cos
metics or face-lifting, or to keep fit
by exercises or diet or various pro-
hibitions. He believes that youth is
in the mind, and if you want'to look
IL years younger, you have to do it
by making your intellectual inter-
ests IL years younger. =

NAAP Says Negroes
Will Suffer More If
States Handle Relief

NEW YORK, May 19-Already
suffering from the prejudice and
discrimination which denies them
the right to obtain jobs in private
industry, two-thirds of the twelve
million Negro citizens living in
southern and border states will suf-
fer in full measure the worse fate
of being denied the right to relief
If the administration of this vital
unemployment measure is taken
out of the hands of the federal
government and returned to the
states.
This was the sentiment express
sed by Walter White, executive
secretary of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People in vigorous protest
letter to Representative Edward T.
Taylor, chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee. The
committee is being pressed by So
called economy-minded Congress
men to give the states responsible
ity for administering relief on the
ground that administration costs
can be cut down.

~ Hobmi r.. Mitchell

On May -, 1862. the confeder.
ate Steamer Planter, dispatch boaf
Of General Ripley, Confederate
commander ot cbariestoWn. South
Carolina, was taken from the
wharf nj CharlestowB and deliver
cd to the Federal fleet bloekading
that harmon.
The Planter. which FOR two
weeks hid been transporting guns
from Coles Island 10 James Island
returned 10 her base at Charles
town. That evening the captain
went home, leaving on board a
crew Of eight men. Whcelman
Smalls was left in charge of the
vessel He was called a wheelman
because at that time, no Negro
was given the honor OF being hon
ored by the title pilot"
For some time previous smalls
had been watching for an oppor-
tunity to put into execution a
scheme he had conceived TO turn
the Planter over TO the Federal
fleet. This, he saw, was a good
chance to put in effect his plans.
ut occurred TO me-" said Smalls,
that / could not only secure my
own freedom, but that Of a num-
Der of my friends" / reported my
plans to the crew, all colored, and
secured their secrecy, and stimu-
lated by a knowledge Of the facts,
they were most willing to aid in
the venture.
Under the command of Robert
Smalls, wood was taken aboard,
the vessel steamed up and it pro-
ceeded to Ettaoue, where the Small
family and several other families
were put on board. The Planter
then started on her hazardous voy-
age.
when opposite Fort Sumter,
gave the signal which was ans
wered from the Fort, giving me
permission to pass. I then made
for the Federal fleet. When out
of the range of the guns of Fort
Sumter, raised a white flag, and
proceeded to the Onward, under
command of Capt. Nicholas, to
whom l turned over the Planter"
Smalls was made pilot of the
Keokuk, on which he was during
the attack on Fort Sumter, April
7, 1868. For his courage under fire
in this battle he was promoted, by
the order of General Gilmore,
commanding the Department of
the South, to the rank of Captain
of the Planter, and served in that
capacity until the end of the war.
The facts of the above incident
can be found in Report No. 100,
House of Representatives, 55th
Congress, second session.
