Till: YOl'NC; OLD MAN. fome fun and considerable maliee is poked at John D. Rockefeller because , he has the, xood fortune r ill fortune, ) or at lea.'t the distinction of reputedly J b!n the richest man in the world. t)Ot laying all fun and malice aside, fr. Rockefeller represents something! beside money and .omethlnjr better than money. On his seventy-fifth birthday Mr. Itockrfrller played two rounds of ffnlf. and what in more, won his Rime, whereat he was pardonably elated. Now two rounds of golf means a walk of approximately six thousand yards. which reduced to more convenient measure is equivalent to about three milea and a half, not counting the side trips occasioned by sliced or otherwisemisdirect ?d halls. In addition to the walk was the physical exercise of making the strokes, all of which combined in calculated to tax the strength and endurance of the player. Despite his seventy-five yearn, Mr. Rockefeller felt fresh and strong after finishing his game and 'taking his bath. His system retains the power of reaction, and instead of being wearied and exhausted by the effort ho waa refreshed. Thu conclusion is that a life of activity has left Mr. Rockefeller in good physical condition not in spite of that activity, but because of it and that this condition 1st being maintained by continuing his activity into the years which too many men iurrender to ease. Mr. Itockefeller has not acknowledged that h is an old man. He does not acknowledge it because he does not know it. He does not feel like an old man, and a man is as old only as he feels. The years in their flight may have left their furrows on the exterior of his body, but his organisms are strong with vitality. He has not weakened his heart or mind with excesses nor debilitated his body with indulgences. There is nothing the matter with Mr. Rockefeller. He is growing old gracefully and unconsciously. In this particular Mr. Rockefeller represents what a man nhould be at seventy-five, as J. M. iStudebaker represents what a man should be at eighty, full of interest in life which has animated them all through their careers and still a factor in it. CIIIRDRKN AND IIKAI11I. The health of the child is the most important factor in the education of the young is the conclusion reached by the National Rducation association In session at St. Paul. To the end that this factor may receive the consideration and attention due it a recom mendation for a supervisor of health for public schools was approved. The subject was discussed in three departments of the convention, in the department of child hygiene, in the department of school patrons and in the department of secondary education, and in all the sentiment was unanimously in favor of extension of hygienic supervision. The essentials it was deemed are that the child should be properly clothed, physically clean, that eyes and ears are properly cared for. that teeth are sound and kept clean, and that the child shall be shielded as far as possible from contagion. Teachers and physicians united in these conclusions and urged that health stipervtfdon of the public schools be carried into the homes of the; children in order that sources of disease and erroneous habits of life may be eliminated anil corrected. There, recommendations follow the knowledge that the efficiency of the school children is seriously crippled by bud habits and preventable diseases and imperfections. To those who have gien this subject no thought or study it may be Incomprehensible that decayed teeth. adenoid)". insufficient clothing or uneleanlim -ss should interfere with the program of a child's studies, but it i no longer a qmstion in the minds of the well informed. tHatiffticj show that children laboring under these disadvantages arc seriously handicapped. The child with poor teeth cannot properly manicate the food he eat, adenoids interfere with full and free breathing, tmclennliness has an adverse effect on the general health, insufficient clothing levies a severe tax on the vitality and so on. all wf which has its Influence on ;h? mental ca; parity, energy ;mJ application of the Child. a griisnox and an answku. "If Wil-on is so much interested in an equitable dtvilon of land," a man said today, "why dovn't he betfin at home why butt Into the affairs of Mexico?" Let's se if we can think up an answer. First, a question: What J coul.l Wilson do at home? I Mexico 1, in revolt against privilege fuhtin:,' mad ami ready to wade through -ore. Hy boycotting Huerta and the fort.es he represents, and by lending such help as he legally can to the Mexican who've never had a

chance, Wilson, thanks to his office, can do something down there. Revolution makes reconstruction possible, rather quickly and the time to strike is when the Iron is hot. Hut .frankly, we don't see how Wilson could do a thing about the land problem in the United .States. Even the trust problem staggers congress. , though a majority of the people are agreed on what ought to be done.

Why, then, expect Wilson to take ! up the land problem, on which a majority are standpatters? Maybe Mexico will yet teach us how to cope with avaricious landlords. NO MONKY MINIMUM. Those Iowa clubwomen who want a law permitting no couple to f,et married unless they have at least $200 are,' we fear, fooled by a half-truth. The important thlntr in getting married Is for the right man to find the right woman. Money is desirable, but secondary. When the right man meets and mates the right woman, he will work for her, she will work for him, both will work for their children and somehow, barring exceptional misfortune, the money factor will take care of itKeif. It's not rt all bad discipline for love's young dream to have to begin on a basin of economy and mutual sacrifice. 'More marriages are spoiled by beginning with too much than with too little. One of the happiest old grandpas we ever knew told us that he and his bride ate their first meal as life partners on a board stretched across two barrels. And it wasu't because the furniture hadn't come, either. That and a stove and a bod and two chairs, plus a few cracked dishe. were all the furniture they owned. Their scantiness ol material belongings drew them together; he hustled, she saved and they bfame prosperous but riches didn't spoil them. A law making It possible for a man and woman in love to have a fair chance to work, earn and save would be a fine law, if enforced. Hut no money minimum for matrimony. STILAIMXC: IT PKKTTY KINK. The main objection against Jones of Chicago for the federal reserve board teems to have been that "he went Into a zinc trust and got a. fortune. Naughty, naughty: True, there oughtn't to be zinc trusts the folks should own their own minerals. Hut if we let a few take control of these treasures of nature and tax the rest of us what they wish, can you think of a single reason why Jones of Chicago shouldn't own zinc stock as well as anybody else? Bet there isn't a senator at Washington who'd run away from doing as Jones did; and some would run mig-hty fast to get the chance. loot's not get silly. You can't find many men of practical experience and ability, men fit for big administrative jobs, who haven't at some time or place taken a bite of privilege they don't grow. It ought to be enough if the 1100,-000-a-year man who's willing to work for Uncle Sam for 90 per cent discount is honest, dependable and on to the fact that privilego must go. There's no reason at all why the greediest plute, if intelligent, should not find more fun serving the public than he ever found in serving himself. They're just human, these rich fellers, like the rest of us; and some, even yet. can he saved. Don't forget Tom Johnson. WOULD T.VKn A LONC; TIM IZ. One of the most striking examples of political misrepresentation is found in the statement of that renowned "pulpit" orator. Senator Penrose, when ho declared that the democratic tariff law had lost to the United states 577.000,000,000 in foreign trade since the Mexican war began. The .Mexican war has been in progress about eighteen months, two months of which was during the Taft administration. Now the fact is that the export business of this country has averard during the pat few years, including lur yar. about S2.O00.000,0 00 a year. So. It would take about twenty-five years to lose the trade which the senator says has been lost, if every dollar of it had vanished during the period of which he speaks. The absurdity of the Penrose statement is apparent to any intelligent person who stop to think, but to th unthinking an absurdity is jut as good as a fact, and it is to the unthinking that the Pennsylvania senator appeals. Another Itin invasion of America. A Spanish company has obtained a concession to construct and operate an aerial tramway across the whirlpool rapids at Niagara Falls. And

the novelty peeking Americans will fall for It.

Senor Moh'no, who is on the way to the Fnited States to ihow up Pres. Wilson's crime ngainst Mexico will Ret little attention except as a copy maker. Pre?. Wilson's crime against Mexico hfiJ not been committed. The Ueorsia legislature is in the way of legislating the "third degree" out of existence. The tipper house has passed the bill. Public sentiment fcpalnst police practice of this kind in grow in. i?. Henry Ford has. a special reason for being pessimistic, of course, hut it is no more than intelligent conduct of his own affairs would give any other man with the same opportunity. The United States is the only first class power to show an excess of exports over imports. As previously remarked, the tariff is an extinct issue. Come on out and 'fess up, you dodging Income taxer and McAdoo will do nothing to you, but if he has to dig you out he won't do a thing to you. Don't let up on the flies because the hunting Isn't as easy as it was last year. If undisturbed the flies will show you that they can come back. Why worry ever Mexico when we are actually burning powder in San Domingo. Get the spotlight around to where there is some action. If Lieut. Porte's machine could have the sustaining power of the cost of living there would be no question as to the succesi of his venture. Sunday mlphthaveheen marked by the old fashioned Sabbath peace but for the automobile, boating and swimming accidents. While we are suffering our vacations we should not envy the more fortunate congressmen. It is wicked to envy. "Save the calves," exclaims the Kalamazoo Telegraph-Press. Yes, this constant exposure is very demoralizing. It may be necessary fcr Pres. Wilson to install a time clock in the senate. A Master of Acqaintance UY l'RUD C. KKMjY. This little tale is about a man who is a master of the Art of Getting Acquainted. Robert H. Davis, who edits Frank Munsey's clump of magazines, is the man, and he makes getting acquainted a specialty, a hobby, a business almost a mania. He likes to know a v hole lot of people, and does. Years f.go he started in to make acquaintances from necessity because he needed acquaintance more than anything else. Today he still keeps at it partly from habit and partly from the sheer Joy of the thing. He adds to his string of acquaintances witn the est of a man who collects stamps, or rare tapestries, or hotel keys. There may be somebody who knows more people than "Rob" Davis does, but it is doubtful if there ever was a person who knew so many by premeditation and method. Davis never walks a mile or rides a mile without acquiring at least one more acquaintance. And he doesn't care whether his new friend is a banker or a painless dentist. "Every man." says he. "has a story that I would like to hear if I had j time to listen." When Davis is about to rid.? on a suburban car he first buys two newspapers, which he tucks under his 'left wing. One is for himself and the other is for the stranger who sits next to him provided the stranger wants it. When he opens up his own paper Davis glances out of the tail of his eye to note if his seat-mate is looking at the headlines. The instant the stranger shows the slightest interest in the news Davis smilingly whisks forth the other paper and hands it to the stranger. If there breathes a man with soul so dead that he can resist the captivating geniality of the Davis smile under such marked circumstances, go mark, him well, for he must be a crab indeed. Having given the man the paper, Davis uses the llvest news topic as a fulcrum on which to pry open' a' conversation. Refore they separate he knows the man's occupation, street address and views about things. Sometimes when he is merely walking along the street, Davis will think it is about time to make a new acquaintance, whereupon he will turn his engaging smile upon some innocent bystander and begin to talk about the architecture or the color of a passing automobile. As we sat at lunch noe noon in a quiet little cafe. Davis suddenly turned to the waiter and inquired: "Is all the coffee in the world getting better or worse? Don't you yet a great many complaints about coffee?" "Indeed I do, sir." replied the waiter, earnestly. "It seems impossible to get good coffee any more." "How long have you been a waiter?" pursued Davis. And soon he had learned enough to show that the waiter's life story would have been interesting if one had time to hear it. 'Ve how readily he fell for that about the coffee?" remarked Davis after the waiter had departed for more food. "Ask any man about something with which he is familiar and you'll get a hearty response."

When he was graduated from the printing ottlce to a job a reporter out in an Francisco, Davis was an extremely poor newsgatherer that is, at flrat. In order to get news one mut know people, and Divm i-new scarcely any. Moreover, t veo aside from business reasons. Davis keenly felt his lack of acquaintance. He was brought up In a small towr Carson City, Xev. and in the big city he was lonesome. He missel having men wallop him on the back and inquire: "How's the nshln'?" So he came to the logical comlusim that he ought to set about fitting the -thing he most needed and most desired. As rapidly as he made an acquaint-

Plato. I Tis not a surprise to us that the National Association of Clothing Designers should declare Americans to be the best dressed men in the world. It is up to them to be nothing less with the best dressed and most beautiful women in the world to Fet them the example. (Prolonged applause.) THANK you. AT the same time we think these e-ame designers have a lot of nerve to shift us from peg tops to tights and back again in two years. (Cries of "That's so." "Give it to 'em.") THIS attempt to keep pace with the shifts meaning changes in woman's attire is futile. We mav as well abandon It. THE Michigan Central and Grand Trunk are to be given only one more chance to the Michigan state law against selling liquor on trains. These roads have made several brave attempts, but failed. Now it is up to the passengers to carry their own pontoons. OLD H. .S. W. thought he put himself out of our reach Saturday by turn ing in a 7G, but he should remember that the race is not always to the swift, hut to the trailer who comes strong from behind. WE had to laugh when we read a piece about Knos Kuhns in the paper. We knew by the way it read it wa.s old Louis Kuhns, and that reminds us thai he has come back, which is more than a lot of the big fellows ance he put the name, address find occupation down in a little book. And before 'separating from a new acquaintance he always said: "Remember me, now, because I'm going to see you again some day." At the end of a few years Davis had a great many thousand names listed. He classified the names alphabetically and by occupation and the occupations covered a wide range. If a man fell off a church steeple and broke his neck, Davis could look at his list and find the address of six or seven steeplejacks who could tell him exactly how a man felt when falling from a high place. Or If the story was about a stolen violin, Davis was certain to know a violinmaker who could supply a lot of technical information. One of the best news beats Davis ever landed in Frisco was through the co-operation of a street car acquaintance who had charge of the furnace and gas plant at Lucky Raldwin's hotel. Davis is ashamed now of the unethical means he employed and says he would lire any reporter in his employ who brought in a good story by any such method. He will be vexed when this reference to it is brought to his attention, but the thing is too illustrative of the value of acquaintance to omit. A big state republican convention was in progress and Davis kne.v that the platform was to be tlrawi up in a certain room at the Raldwin hotel by the governor of the stUe. Reporters for the various 'Knrco papers were to be admitted to the room and all would be allowed to see the platform when it was completed. iJavis did not like the idea of having so many reporters know the contents of the platform. He wanted it exclusively for his own paper. So he went to his friend, the gas man. and asked him if he would mind turning off the gas in the hotel at exactly 1 L o'clock that night. "I'll turn 'er otY and then turn 'er on again and put everybody n th'3 hotel to sleep if you want me to," offered the gas man, who had become greatly attached to Davis. "The only trouble in turning it off in the entire hotel," says Davis, is that the gas in the pipes will last a few minutes and the fiame will die down too slowly. Now if you could turn it off in the part of the building where this room is " "I'll turn it off right in that one room." volunteered the man. He went ahead and made a fake investigation after a leak and put t little Jigger in the pipe just outside the room, so that he could urn it off at a signal from Davis. That night when it was apparent that the governor had about completed the state platform. Davis gae his signal to his friend outside, and the room was in total darkness. Davi reached over, grabbed up the sheets containing the platform and went his way. There were no other copies and his paper carried it exclusively the next morning. Davis' employers never knew how he got so much exclusive news. They thought it was because of superior powers of intuition or some such elusive quality as that. Davis alone knew that it was because he know more people than his competitors. To this day h? declares that he has never accomplished anything oj consequence in life except through his acquaintanceship. If he were aoked to cram the most advice to the young into the fewest words he would probably say simply: "Know lots of people." "Develop all the ability of one kind or another you can." he remarked one day. "but you'll tind out that a man's friends are the chief instruments in getting him anywhere." The last paper Davis worked lor in San Francisco belonged t Mr. Hearst and he was sent for to come to Ww York and to go to work on tht Hearst paper in that town. It happened that whn Davis arrived, the editorial forre had just been reorganized and no one understood just what Davis was to do. "Just wait here a few minutes," one of the editors told him. And for thirty minutes Davi pat in a little reception room twirling his thumbs. At the end of that time he observed to himself: "I'll not wait around like this for any man." He went out and strolled up Fifth av. When he got to the Plaza hotel, he dropped in and chanced to see a

Utah congressman to whom he had once introduced himself in San Francisco. The Utah man gave him a red hot interview regarding the question of Mormons holding seats in congress which was a thing much talked about just then. Davis wrote three columns and took it down to Rradford Merrill, managing editor il the Now York World. With that interview for his letter of introduction lie was received like a rich relative and went to work on the World. Several days later when the Hearst people learned where he was they asked him what he mQti; by not going to their shop and starting vj work there.
