Old, Age, Pensions.

.Tgxe'E.g_gjles ai's working out a systom for old age pensions for its members. ~ An advoeaie of the order thus pictures the needs of such a law: *Due to the progress made by medical science, the average length of man’s life'has been increasing. More and more people will now complets the journey to ripe old age. From 1919 to 1921 the average period of life in the United States was inereased by four years. . v “This should be exhilarating news €p everybody. " From such joy however, many aged workers are shut cut. .To them the advance in longevity brings uneasiness and anxiety. For it means only a prolongation of their misery from the poverty which too often overtakes old age. 5 “The: problem of thé support of the old has been always' with mankind. Each period has dealt with it in its own way. In primitive tribes, aged individuals starved or were otherwise put to death. Later, when it was observed that knowledge is power, and that the niemcries-of the elders were the chief treasury of experience and skill, the old man’s authority was supreme. =He was the head of the clan and was looked up to as the embodiment of = wisdom. . When everything was manufactured at home, the artisan or laborer continued to work as long as he could produce anything. In agricultural communities men and ‘Women are foxgd still usef\i‘l in their o'd age And in business pfofessions, and public affdirs, it is not rare to find men doing their best work at the age of sixty or seventy. Rl

“The problem of securing new émployment is not an easy omne for the aged wage-earner. The “old fogy” is welcomed neither in the;s;h'op nor in the counting room, There are many industries that will not hire a laborer past the agh of rorty, The modern employer usually feels j‘xo‘ responsibility for his workers, aid it is not uncommon to find aged and decrepit toilers, who have by their brain and brawn helped in our social development, relegated {to the industrial §<rrapheap as of no economic value. But being merciful we send our unfortunate aged to the poorhouse for food and shelter. But what kind of poorhouses? Who can describe the dull depressing days of isolatipn in an unfriendly often scarcely habitable institution, which harbors every :man—nér_ of disease :and degeneracy? Who can describe the terror of the old man, discharged from his job and confronted with thep rospect of having to end his days in the poorhouse? “To remove thig terror from the minds and hearts of the aged and those of middle age a:system of Old Age Pensions should be: established: without ‘delay.” ek

All For Memorial Bill.

J. L. Dunning reports that Ligonier ex-soldiers are strong advocates of the bill pending in the Indiana legislature to prevent commercialized sports on Memorial day, May 30. At a recent meefing of stansbury Post Post, G. A. R. resolutions were passed favoring the enactment of the bill and it is understood the Ligonier Ametican Legion Post will join. . Copies of the resolution adopted by the G. A. R. post have been forwarded to Representative Haines Senator Nicholas and a number of other house and,senate members. . .

Washington Man’s Name, in Som:. Way, infmated That He Was : an Easy Mark. S

Before Frederick W. Steckman became -the Washington representative of certain financial interests in New York, he occupied just a simple office of his own, with his name painted on the glass door. Steckman had always complained that he was a sort of easy mark, a sympathetic fellow who was susceptible to more than his share of hard-luck tales. o : One night as Fred Steckman sat in his office alone a wayfarer came In the door, related a sorrowful tale and touched Steckman for the price of a meal. As Steckman handed over the money and exhibited just a bit of impatience he asked: : : “Say, I wish you'd tell me one thing: Out of all the men and offices in this big building why did you select me and this office to make a touch?” ~ “Well,” said the panhandler, “I dunno exactly, except that your name sorter looked easy. I looked ’em all .over all down the corridor, and when I came to Steckman it somehow suggested to me ‘that here was a kindly fellow who'd fall for my yarn. And you did. I don’t know why it siruck me that way, but it did.” o “Well, I'll be d—d,” said Steckman, as he turned back to his desk; “even my name costs me-money,”—Washing-‘ton Post.

AND THE FIREMEN LAUGHED!

But Perhaps All of Them Didn't, Although Mrs. Blank Undoubtedly . Meant Well, e

Lawson Purdy, secretary of the Charity Organization society, said at a reception in New York: : “Some people run down: the charity ¢xpert—the man or woman who studies charity and makes it his or her profession, but why shouldn’t we have charity experts as well as medical experts, law experts or military ‘expérts? “Take collecting, for Instaqce—-cog lecting for charity. The expert know how to do it, and the greenhorn, beside him, is like Mrs. Blank. » “Mrs. Blank was the chief pillar of a home for stray cats. The home was in a very bad way. In fact, its creditors sald they’d foreclose on it if it didn’t settle up at once. : “Late one night, tossing sleepless in lier bed, heartbroken over the home’s coming ruin, Mrs. Blank had a sudden brilliant idea. She rose, ran to the telephone and sent in a fire alarm. “When the firemen, breathless and wild-eyed, dashed up with their engines and hose and ladders, Mrs. Blank met them at her door. ; “‘Boys,” she said, with a gay laugh, ‘there isn’t any fire really. I've just brought you here because you've simply; got to subscribe 50 cents apiece to Iy stray cats’ home.”” %

Red -Cross Symbel.

The Red Cross symbel is exclusively reserved for' sanitary formations conveying wounded soldiers or sailors and for the institutions engaged in the treatment of such cases by a law passed in France in 1918 and strict enforcement of this law i being carried out. The directors of French Red Cross societies, noticing that various pharmacists’ amd laborers’ first aid stations had put up the Red Cross sign, decided to demand the removal of all such emblems where unauthorized. As a result the courts are busy prosecuting the various drug stores, which refuse to take down the' sign, alleging that it is perfectly justified because In reality they are first-aid stations. However, a decree has been issued stating that the law of 1913 must be observed, > i

Columbus With a Spy-ulass.

The medieval painter who in a pleture of the crucifixion of Christ represented a Roman soldier armed with a -blunderbuss must have a descendant In the British pest office department. According to an indignant writer in the “Bulletin: de ,Ja Soclete Astronomique de France,” the English govern‘ment for its poésession;og Saint- Kitts or Saint Christopher, one of the West India islands, has provided a stamp showing Christopher Columbus surveyin the horizon through a spy-glass. - - But Christopher Columbus discoveved America in 1492, while the spygiass was not invented untfl 118 years afterward. But what a joy that stamp must be to collectors! o Siy Detgjrmine Displacement. ~ - “An apparatus by which the ameunt of water displaced By a vessel can be found at any time by means of a water tube or gauge installed in the center of a vessei has been invented by the French shipping engineer M. Augereai,: and; was on exhibition at the French national : colonial exposition at Mar- ; seilles.

.. South Africa’s Corn Crop. The estimated production of corn in South Africa, as announced by the Department of Agriculture of the govern-. ment, has been revised to “approximately 34,135,714 bushels, instead of 35,454,300 bushels as formerly reported. With an estimated domestic consumption’ of 35,000,000 bushels, based. on’ g five-year average between 1914 and 1919, the present season's out-turn, together 'with the small carry-over stocks of last year, will just about meet the” domestic demand, leaving no sur plus-for export. e _ Try the ice cream at the Philadel~ bhia Candy Kitehen.
