400 GREAT MEN DID BEST WORK AT AGE OF 50 leaders Os Modern World Reach Height Os Ability Between 60 And 70 Chicago. Oct. 13—(INS) Four hundred of the greatest men in history performed their best work at- the age of fity. ■ Modern world lenders reach the height of their ability between the ages of sixty and seventy. This was the annylsis made here by Dr W. A- Newman Dorland, Chicago | surgeon, who has summarized the lives O s 400 historical men. Included in the number ate such men as Lincoln, Washington, Darwin. Huxley, Shakespeare, Newton. Booth. Michael Angelo, Morse, Balzac, Emerson and Milton. The hight it the careers of the 400 as found by Dr. Durlaltd according to accupation was; physicists and chemists, age 41; poets, inventors and dramatists, age 44; novelists, age 47; musical. composers and actors, age 48; ministers and artists, age 50; physicians. surgeons and statesmen, age 52 philosophers age 54 astronomers humorists and mat | inaticlans, age 56, historians, age 57; naturalists and judges age 58. Average Span •'All of the 400 are dead," Dr. Dorland sated. “Many of them. Poe, Keats ami Bryon, for example, died in their youth. The average span of life has been lengthened ftom 35 to 56 years in the last 30 years. I cannot strike an exact average for the best wotk of tlie world leaders now living because the world does not yet feel able to judge what is the best work of each. "Hut we do know, however that corporations and universities who retire their men at the age of 60 are wasting their best brains. .‘‘The man of 60 can succeed as well as the man of 30 if he keeps his health his optimism and his interest. "Roughly I would say that 85 percent of the great things accomplished today have been the work of men past the age of 50. J. Pierpont Morgan in 1907 at the age of 70 raised $40,000,000 id aver’- 1 a panic. The four greatest Japanese general in the Russo-Japan-ese wai, Kuroki, Oku, Oodyu and Oyama were all past 60. Hindenburg, Von Bulow, Eoch, Haig and Pershing were near 60 during the world war. Best Work at 60 "In letters and science monos the age of Go today do their best work. John Bigelow at 'Of was writing his ‘"retrospects, thiee volumes of which appeared after he was 98. Chervreul, eminent French scientist, was in his alboratory busy and active until his death at the age of 1033. “Retriemen of machine workers at a too early age is another waste, certainly it is far 'beyond the traditional age of 40, after which they say a man work.

“Introduction of machinery into industry lengthens the wroklng life of man. The pick and shovel man sees his strength declining after forty' yens hut the engineer of the trench digger and the big carne may be and probably is better fitted for his job at the age of CO than 30.” o • Denver Pastor Opens Gymnasium As Aid To Spiritual Perfection Denver, Colo.
