According to Cholly Knickerbocker. Geraldine Farrar, the famous opera singer of another age. has decided to donate all her love letters, correspondence and diaries to the Library of Con-

gress.

He says that Farrar was once the “epitome of all opera singt rs, gifted with one of the world’s greatest voices, to go with her breathtaking beauty and regal bearing. She had proposals from princelings, dukes, barons and earls, not to mention countless will-you-marry me's from assorted millionaires both here and in Europe.” She has kept all her love letters and, had she published them, -?ould have made a fortune. But she did not and now the Library jf Congress, if it will accept the rifts, is going to get it. According to public records, Geraldine Farrar is now 72. Consequently, many of those princelings and millionaires, who wrote her passionate letters 40 or 50 years ago, have probably gone to I their ancestors by now.

If you are a victim of these symptoms then your troubles may be traced to Glandular Inflammation. Glandular Inflammation is a constitutional disease and medicines that give temporary relief will not remove the causes of your troubles. Neglect of Glandular Inflammation often leads to premature senility, and incurable malignancy. The past year men from 1,000 communities have been successfully treated here at the Excelsior Institute. They have found soothing relief and a new zest in life. The Excelsior Institute, devoted to the treatment of diseases peculiar to older men by NON-SFRGICAL Methods, has a New FREE BOOK that tells how these troubles may be corrected by proven NonSurgical treatments. This book may prove of utmost importance in your life. No obligation. Address Excelsior; Institute. Diept. . t Excelsior Springs. Missouri.

But those who are still alive, ^ probably have long since outlived 5 their impetuousness, long settled | .or much less glamorous women i than the Geraldine Farrar of the very early part of this century' and. perhaps, have been much the happier for it. Geraldine was once one of my favorites. If she had been 20 ! \ ears younger when I was a 24 or. I would probably have proposed to her myself. And just imagine—onp of my writings might now go into the Library of Congress, which one of my columns never will. It may not be quite apropos in connection with so exalted a subject as the previous one, to mention the fact that three eminent psychologists, at the opening season of the annual convention of the American Psychological Association, reported to the 6,000 members assembled that the peak of man’s intellectual growth is reached between the ages of 20 and 24. At the latter age he begins to decline and his mind to deteriorate—the deterioration speeding up with every additional

year.

The scientists based their facts on the study of about o,0()0 persons, mostly prisoners. They iound that the less education a* man has the greater the decline. (They also found that there really isn’t any more sickness meng 90-year-olds than among 60-year-alds and that probably ' die oldest working age group ,r this country is the farmer.) I checked with my doctor on this “deterioration after 24." He jnfirmed it. He told me that both mental and physical decline begins at about that age, but there is a redeeming feature about this whole discouraging business. While both the mind and the body reach theii* zenith at about -4, the mind keeps on^leveloping, vhile not growing, and experience and wisdom take place of L virile youth. Thus while, perhaps, those fellows who wrote love letters to Geraldine Farrar at 40 or 50 or SO'; might have been pretty far advanced in mental deterioration, they* nevertheless might have teen pertty darn important and useful members of society. Pretty complicated, isn’t it ?

CHUTE RIPPED, BUT HE HAD 2ND

THE PP.ESIDEXT, during his Colorado vacation, divides his time between fishing and paintting. Grandpappy Jenkins wonders if he’s doing portraits of the big ones that got away. ! ! ! In a ^Twenty-Five Years Ago Today” column tee read that France teas then having « cabinet crisis. Times change—but not much. ! ! ! Zadok Dumkopf reports he has just put the finishing touch to the house he built 20 years ago. He paid the final mortgage instalment. ; i i Beauteous Marta Rocha, who was runner-up in the “Miss Universe” contest in California, is seeking a congressional post in

Brazil’s next election. It’s six-two-and-even she won’t finish second-best this time! ! ! ! In that national plowing tournament at Olney, 111., there was a best contour award. Sounds like u beauty contest. ! ! ! Since folk highly regard antique furniture, houses, even motor cars how come they don't extend the [ same courtesy to jokes ! ! ! What’s this about a New Yorker being nabbed for parading down Broadway wearing a red cowboy suit and a purple 10-gal-lon hat? Could be he was a refugee from a color television horse opera!

NEXT BUSINESS, THE REPORT

THE UPPER PARACHUTE is ripping apart, but the lower one Is holding firm for Stan Kirk, former British paratrooper. He is shown over Pietermaritzberg, South Africa. Seconds before, he was falling at more than 120 mph from a height of 3,500 feet at an air show. South Africa’s air regulations require that all chutists carry a second chute, just in case. The regulation saved Kirk’s life. TJie photo was taken by David Ward from a plane flying 1,000 feet below plane from which Kirk leaped. (International)

TRIED TO SHOOT WAY TO FREEDOM

THAT MAY WELL BE a gleam of relief in the eyes of Senator Arthur Watkins (R), Utah, as he bangs down the gavel to end the Senator Joseph McCarthy censure hearing in Washington. Next order of business is the report. Behind Watkins is E. W. Chadwick, committee counsel. (International)

SUSPECTED CHECK PASSER Juan Delfin, 23, is still in custody after failing to shoot his way out of San Francisco Hall of Justice. Delfin, being booked on fifth floor, suddenly whipped out a gun and forced a guard to take him down the elevator. Inspector William J. Hansen was waiting on the second floor, gun in hand. Some 30 shots were fired in the battle. Both Hansen and Delfin were wounded (International Soundphotos)
