Live Long-ond Like It
More Women Survive

more useful in the homes Of their
children than men are.
Is there another solution for
housing than the overcrowding
of homes and the firing of tensions
that often occur when the older
generation moves in with its
sons and daughters, specialists
are asking? How can houses be
made more safe and comfortable
for older folks? What kind OF
assistance with housework will
make it possible for old couples
to keep their own homes oper-
ating?
What happens when a woman
returns to the labor market. after
many years absence, and usually
with only few years working
experience prior to her life as a
homemaker? Some employers
have declared themselves disin-
terested in hiring women over 35!
How can physical and mental
health be protected? And what is
the value of planning in every
way for old age?
This series of articles, to appear
in the future on Mondays. will
discuss the specific problems that
women face as they age, as well
as the informed thinking that
already is working to make the
years that, in the past, have toe
often been unhappy, unproductive
ones in many persons lives, as
lrich as those of youth and early

"I wish you a long life and a
happy one" the old toast goes.
Years ago . man was old at 40,
and he was at least active, If not
happy. all OF his days.
A hundred years ago. according
to Federal Security Administrator
Oscar Ewing, only one out Of every
80 Americans was 65 years of age
or older. Fifty years ago. one out
of Is lived 65 years or longer. To-
day, one out of every Is Ameri-
cans is at least 65 years OF age.
Women have an even greater
stake than men in improving the
opportunities for useful living in
these golden years." as things
stand today. For women are liv-
ing longer than men, and the gap
between the male and female
death rate may continue to grow.
In every age group the death
rate for men is higher than that
for women, according to the 1913
figures of the National Off1ce of
Vital Statistics. And the death
rates since 1900 show that. al
though the rate for both sexes
has been declining, that for wom-
en- has been declining more rap
idly than that for men.
Medical science is the magic
wand that has succeeded in guar
anteeing truly long life to many,
Now educators, PSYCHOLOGISTS and
sociologists, as well as specialists
in family life, in recreation, in
employment, are pooling their
knowledge to make possible the
second half of that old toast. They
are interested in making the add
ed years-approximately 20 more
than our fathers and grandfathers
lived-full and happy ones.
In an effort to explore the situ-
alton, the Federal Security Agency
is sponsoring a Conference on
Aging, on August 13. IA and is, at
the Shoreham Hotel.
1.-THE country" declares the
Working Committee on the Aged
of the FSA, "once oriented toward
youth, has begun to recognize that
1t must now have the additional
facilities and services which will
enable those who reach the period
of maturity to round out their
years with a sense of usefulness
anil well-being."
Factors other than the advance
of medicine. particularly the sue
cessful war against infectious dis
eases. have contributed to the
conversion of the population from
a young to an old one. Even before
the turn of the century, expand
ing industry drew millions to the
cities. the population became in
creasingly industrial and urban,
and the birth rate declined con-
stantly. The considerable slowing
down of immigration eliminated
another source Of youth in the
population.
What specific adjustments must
women make in later life? Rather
a large portion of the aging popu-
lation on the public assistance
rolls is made up of women. one
authority declares. simply because
they are living longer. Yet there
are less women than men in old
age homes. The domestic skills
of women seem ta make them

I would advise making reser-

If you do not have children you
will have no trouble finding ade-

west sections of the city are much
the nicer. Rents range from $55
to $75 for two or three-room
furnished apartments to $85 and
500 for small furnished houses.
Bus service is excellent to Main

Funston also to the P. x. and

about 80 minutes.
It is hard to find good secre-

there are many available or not.
Usually the finance officers and

ANTIoUING FURNITURE.

(From Mrs. J.W.M., Washinaton.)
In answer to Mrs. ]. u, Of
Arlington re antiquing Of white
furniture, I suggest the following
method:
Apply two coats of good fiat
paint. ivory color. Allow the last
coat to dry about 48 hours. Now,
for the antiqueing.
Mix equal quantities Of turpen-
tine and raw linseed oil. To this,
add Raw TIMBER Oil color Gin
tube). Apply with brush. and
wipe off excess with cloth.
Allow the antiquing to dry
thoroughly. and then apply a
coat Of dull or satin finish varnish.
This will hold on the antiquing,
and give soft glow.
If a still browner effect is de-
sired. add a little Burnt Sienna.
II this is done, be sure to mix
enough to cover the entire surface
as the next mixture may not be
the same. However, 7 think your
trouble is that you used white
paint when you should have used
ivory. Also. it is important to use
fiat paint.
Burnt TIMBER. Van Dyke brown,
may also be used. Either gives
a red-brown tone.
I have had fine results from
this method, and I hope it will
be some help to you.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-
Twenty-Five thousand members of
the Seventh Day Adventist Church
met here in worship today to close
their 46th quadrennial world con-
ference, which has been in session
two weeks.
Elder William H. Branson, presi-
dent-elect of the Adventists, told
a capacity audience of 10000 in
the Civic Auditorium that mem
bership of the church should be
doubled in the next four years.
The rest of the members here
met simultaneously in two nearby
halls to hear church leaders urge
them on to increased evangelical
work between now and the next
quadrennial conference.
AS a final touch to the confer
ence, delegates, visitors and church
units made an Offering of 1925, 900
for Adventist work.
OF this sum, 100000 was from

Truman Tells Baptists
'Armor Of God Is
Needed for Survival
BY the Associated Pres.

CLEVELAND, July 22.-Presi-
dent Truman tonight gave fellow
Baptists q warning" that the
nations of the world cannot sur
vive unless redeemed spiritually. !"
He spoke of putting on 'the armor
of God" in a spirit of steadfast-
ness and humility
The President made these state
ments in a message read for him
at the eighth congress of the
World Baptist Alliance. He is one
OF 18 million Baptists in the world.
ITO one and ALTO those who
have come from our own country
and to those journeying from over
seas, from the remote corners of
the earth-I would give this warn
ing: The nations of the world
our own included, with its un-
precedented wealth and unlimited
natural resource survive
materially unless redeemed spirit
ually," the President said.
Solution Is Not Easy.
II believe there is no problem,
moral or economic. in the field of
our national sphere or among the
nations of this troubled world, that
would not yield to the intelligence,
the courage and the faith of free
tInSn NIB
approach the problem in the spirit
Of the Sermon on the Mount"
President Truman continued.
"The solution is not easy to ap-
ply. We must face the problem
in a spirit of steadfaStness and
humility, remembering the ad-
monition of the ancient king of
Israel: Let no man that putteth
on his armor boast as he that
taketh it off, The way ahead is
long the struggle hard, but we
shall win if we march forward
with amity with all Christian
forces"
Then he concluded:
ITO succeed in our quest for
righteousness we must. in St.
Pauls luminous phrase, put on
the armor of God: For we wrestle
not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high
places
The message was read at Cleve-
lands Municipal Stadium at a
mass meeting of the congress
which was expected to draw some
10000 persons. The stadium pro-
gram was a colorful spectacle in

from four dozen nations in cos

Our First
Ancestor
Continued from Page Three)

Continued from Page Three)
The Talmud says that actually
Adam had a wife before Eve-a
gal named Lilith. but it seems this
marriage didn't work out. Lilith
was very bossY and God decided
to make a wife for Adam out of
his own body because only like
things can be united"
Nevertheless, Eve didn't like
being ribbed. She wanted to be
desired, and for that she had to
educate Adam. Eat of the Tree
of knowledge, she urged.
I can imagine that they had
long discussions on this point.
Probably Adam quoted Ecclesi-
astes that The that increaseth
knowledge. increaseth sorrow"
and the Yiddish proverb that
what you don't know. won't
hurt you" and he must have
quoted Shakespeare too. about
ignorance being bliss.
We can imagine very philo-
sophical discussion ensuing. But
Eve, being woman, had the last
word. Adam ate the forbidden
fruit. Maybe that's where the
mistake was made. When a thing
is forbidden, it is sure to taste
sweet.
Anyway. it tasted sweet to
Adam. His head began to- whirl.
He saw things about Eve that he
hadnever seen before and Eve ran
quick to Mays to get a new
Spring fig-leaf outfit. And Adam
knew that he would have to pay
for it and that he would have to
go to work. No more was Adam
to dwell in Paradise. by the
sweat of his brow must he labor"

new moon. AS soon as the new
moon was sighted the messengers
sent a signal to the judges who
then proclaimed the new month.
At the time of the proclamation
there was a ceremony known as
"Kiddush Hachodesh" WIFI C h
means "the sanctification of the
month";" in which the judges pro-
claimed it as a good omen and
prayed for it to bring good tidings.
AS the Jews were dispersed, a
system of reckoning replaced this
system.
Later, it was realized that fewer
people were attending the syna-
gogues during the week than on
the Sabbath. Thus, if the new
moon were merely announced on
the day of it's arrival in the syna
gogue not many would get to
know of it. 1t was then ordained
that on the Sabbath preceding the
new moon, an announcement
would be made in the synagogue.
Prayers were said both before and
after the announcement so as to
make a special part of the service
if it.

These prayers ask the Lord to

"a Ills CS1SIAIOAAX'
ANSWER: Originally there was
no such ceremony on the Sabbath
before the new month. However,
it was up to the tribunal of Israel
(Beth DIM to establish the fact
that a new month began, since
there was in those days no cal
endar and no fixed system of
reckoning. Messengers were sent
to a mountain top to view the
approach of a new moon, since
