District Woman, 707 Today,
Wants Cute Birthday Cake
Mrs. Frances KeIeher,
However, Won't Try
Using l0l Candles

The thought of her 101st birthday
cake today intrigues Mrs. Frances
Reynolds Keleher as much as it
does anyone else.
That's the only reason I wanted
cake" she said yesterday with a
show of humor. II think it will be
sort of cute-a 10lst birthday cake ?"
AS far as any other kind of cele-
bration is concerned, however, she
observed, II don't do anything now

Her daughter, Miss Edith Reyn-
olds Keleher, a teacher at the Blow
School here, planned to deliver a
fancy cake with 101st birthday
inscription to her today at the Ken
dali House Sanatorium, 1923 Ogden
street NV. where Mrs. Keleher
stays.
"I don't believe I'll try putting 101
candles on it. though Miss Keleher
said. 1T probably would wreck the
cake"
Offers "Best Formula"
Marking her first milestone past
century, Mrs. Keleher has no freak
formula for longevity.
"I have a formula, though" she
said. IT think it's the best in the
world: Faith in God, work and a
sense of humor. Doesn't that sound
all right? That will carry you
through"
A tasteful dresser, Mrs. Keleher
takes pride in her wavy white hair.
She is interested in the events of
the day and has a vivid memory of
the past. She likes to read, write and
compose poetry. Her friends fire.
quently call on her to write special
verses for them.
AS for the present ills of the
world, she thinks simply that "peo-
pie ought to behave themselves"
The country was having its trou-
