OLDEST MAN, 147-YEARS OF AGE, GOES BACK TO HIS JOB AFTER QUARREL Constantinople, May 4.—Zora, Tur- key’s oldest man, said to be 147 years of age, has gone back to’ work as a waterfront hamal (carrier of heavy weights), after a quarrel with the Turkish naval base authorities. He was recently pensioned in hon- or of his age and long service and he was preparing to spend his last years in idleness. But, as pensions are not being paid here because of an empty treasury, Zora declared he was still strong enough to work, and is daily proving it. He has threatened to join the Nationalist army in Anatolia, bul so far has kept the peace. ‘ Old age makes itself respected in eeernmew COAL and \VOOD All Work Guaranteed Warships and fighting aircraft are shown dent and Mrs. Harding on the deck of: the before President Harding Mayflower, f off Hampton Roads, Va., on his first visit to review. the Atlantic Fleet, Apri} 28. passing in review s FIRST PICTURE—HARDIN The plan is for these districts to finance the project by issuing bonds, thé -various amounts being proportion- ed to benefits that shall accrue, this to be determined by a federal commis- sion. ~ Estimates place the cost betweep $75,000,090 and $100,000,000. % CHANGING NAME 0.

He refused it, as it meant knocking off work, but his superiors insisted he must make room for younger people who otherwise could find no work, | and would have no chance to get on in life. Murad finally agreed to quit pro- vided his young son was. taken in his place. This seemer fair and he was told to bring the son around. The son | presented was a white-haired man more than 70 years old. é ax ) ir Inset, Pr THE ENTIRE RIVER DEVELOFMENT ENT! SOUTH DAKOTA TO ROOSEVELT FINDS APPROVAL IN N.
