That would make him 98 years old, now, instead of “the oldest man in the world.” | But John insists there was an error in taht early enumeration. He says he was born in. 1788. = A similar cdse was Noah Raby, who died in al ‘New Jersey poorhouse several years ago. Raby | élaimed to be 137 years old.

That men like Richard Ulram still attempt to achieve the six follies of science, shows that there is always someone who refuses to believe that any- thing is impossible. It is man’s nature to deny that he is limited in his powers. Laughed at, jeered, he defies prece- dent—and thereby makes -progress. This spirit may not achieve the original goal, but it will ac- complish something. Thus Glauber, who devoted a lifetime to attempting to change lead into gold, discovered a very useful salt that bears his name. Professor Fredercik Soddy, of Oxford, says that when man has enough radium and can work with 1,000,000 volts of electricity, he may really be able to change lead into gold. % fi Six follies of science, we call them now. But will future man solve them and lodk back and laugh at us. * Flying was once called ‘the seventh folly of ;science, It has been taken off the list.

Ireland in 1612 buried Countess of Desmond, aged 145. i . Hungarian history records Peter Torton, peas- ‘ant, who was 185:years old when he died in 1724. John Rovin, another Hungarian peasant, lived to be 172, his wife 164. The ‘oldest man in all history, whose age has been authenticated with reasonable conviction, was Numas de Cugna, native of Bengal, India, who died in 1556 at the age of 370.. He was famous, all/ through the Orient. Arabs considered him the eighth wonder of the world. é . How can you live to be more'than 100? In the Berkshires, near the Connecticut. line, there’s a wood-chopper named Joseph Gillette. He is in his 100th year, chops wood 10 hours a day, six days a week—and says hard work is what mad him live so long. : Most exceptionally old men have the same notion. 3 But the real reason for their unusual age prob- ably is that mysterious nature gives them an ex- cess of the powerful current that drives the mo- tors of the body. Work, however, does prolong the average life. :Many retired business men died before their time, ‘from the rust of inaction. = More than 200 years ago, Arnauld, the great Frenchman, was urged to retire, by his friend ‘Nicolle. ) “What for?” asked Arnauld. * “You are old."

HOME WORK FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN -Abolition of examinations and of “home work” is announced by F. W. Nichols, superintendent of the South Evanston public schools. Under his plan pupils will do their studying in the class- room and after school hours they will be left to their own' devices.’ They may return to the school for play, gymnastics and dancing, and may bring their parents along, or they may stay at home. And examinations are dismissed by Mr. Nichols as an “unhealthy, antiquated tyranny.” Parents as well as educators will be keenly in- terested in Mr. Nichols’ experiment. They are aware, of course, that both examinations: and| home studies may be abused to the detriment of the average school child. But many of them will harbor doubts regarding the advisability of doing away with those practices entirely. The right sort of regular or impromptu examinations has its value. It would not be easy to find a satisfactory | substitute for it in the ordinary school, where the teachers. have too many pupils in charge to be able to determine with a fair degree of accuracy the progress — or lack of progress — of each of them. As to home work,,a reasonable amount is ordinarily thoughtée be for a child. It disclip- lines the mind and creates habits of study and concentration that beneficially influence one’s; |whole life. ‘ Instead :of being abolished, “home work” ‘should “|be given a moré’elasti¢’and spontaneous character. The school that does not create in its pupils a love . |¢f reading neglects one of its chief missions. ‘Ed- ucation does not end with graduation; it is a life- long process, and this is “lesson every normal pupil should carry away from grammar school, high school or college.—Chicago News. | OPTIMISM The campaign of optimism undertaken by Post-; imaster General Will H. Hays is timely and fitting. In the natural reaction from the war boom the! business glooms have had their innings for a long time. ‘It is high time they were driven out, and all good folks set their faces toward preparing for the greatest era of reconstruction and growth in| recent decades. As Mr. Hays says, a lot of busi-' ness is still really sick from “the shell shock” of war and the debauch. of extravagance.” But there is.a lot of malingering. | ! Mr. Hays also injects a word of sanity in the| situation by pointing out that, to aid in the gen-| John Keely, Philadelphia carpenter, had invented lieved as rapidly as possible of taxes that prey on it. The Keely Motor gave wonderful results. But/it. American industry must not only recover the it got its power from compressed air, secretly con- veyed. The fraud was exposed after the inventor |#S unhampered as may be,in its forward march. ; died. He sold much stock. Squaring the circle and multiplication of the cube are two other impossibilities. They have driven,many mathematicians crazy.’ Fourth scientific folly is magic—thé Black Art which mediaeval sorcerers sought and pretended they found. Magic would mean Thurston’s tricks without sleight-of-hand or other fakery. Fifth scientic fallacy is the Elixir of Life. Ponce de Leon sought it in a fabled Fouataih ofi New York Sun, psychology of progress and victory, but must be Optimism is of course no talisman to make wishes come promptly true. Mr. Hays, who |Preaches it, knows as well as anybody that optim- ism does not facilitate progress by throwing Rea- son out of the window; but actually causes: risk of new harm. He thereupon recommends the measures of relief that an unusual economic de- pression would surely warrant. It is the optimism not of mere wishing or imagining, but of deed— i \ eral recovery, commercial enterprise must be re-| - NAW,- BUT! GUESS \ GOTTA CUT OUT ORINKIN' IT tn THE MORNING RAR (By The Pot Boiler) It ig a rule of political managers to watch closely the attitude of oppon- ents upon’ the introduction of any is- sue in a campaign, for the defender knows better than the attacker whether or not the attack is piercing his armour. The expressions called for at the Nonpartisan League rally here yesterday, according to reports trom the meating, are of, more than unusual interest to the political ob- server. League representatives were asked to state the arguments most frequently used by the 1. V. A. ‘One speaker safd that the Bank of North Dakota had caused more trouble in Grant county than any one thing, according’ td!‘ reports. Another said that the financial situation hal been used by. the Independents, and that independent..bankérs. had told them that they could not expect to get cheap money in North Dakota under the present.administration. Another, speaking of Syeinbjotn Johngon’s speeches in the‘gvestern part of the state, took him jp task, asserting he said that there re seven engineers ‘on the payrei ofthe Drake mill, and asserting that .Jahnion’ failed to re- late that ‘salaries paid the men showed that {hey were not on the pay- noll at ‘the .sdine time. Extravagance, the speaker inferred, is one of the ar- uments being jused against the league. * x ‘Naturally the -leaguers who spoke were confident of victory: All extreme partisans are. They asserted their confidence in ‘the administration, though most speakers are said to havo declared ‘that opposition to a recall election: at this time with its attend- ant expense, was.a great weakness of their opponents, They predicted many Independents would not go to the polls. te Indgpendent women’ supporters of Devils Lake are getting into the po- litical -fray vigorously. The Devils Lake ‘World says. “Independent women voters of the city last night held an enthusiastic mass, meeting in the rooms of the Civic: and Commerce associatson to conal ler ways and meani of obtaining their quota of campaign expenses /to aid in the recall campaign. a series of food sales will be stages to raise funds, it was decided. ‘One hundred women who possess private incomes will be*asked ‘to do- Nate #*stipulated amount, ‘and organi- |. zation. of. this list into-groups of ten | with group ‘leaders was effected. | ‘Mrs. D. L.\Stewart, chairman of the | meeting, urged the women to elimin- | ate social functions /so far as possible during the drivé.uiless they could ia | some manner be made profitable to! the campaign. \ The organization\: and plans | were j tain their quota of funds in the short- ; est possible time, Mrs. Stewart said. | The meeting ‘was an intensely enthu-! siastic and optimistic one, and the wo- men present showed such a willing-' ness to aid in every. possible manner that it seems probable that the quota ; will be raised in record-breaking | time.” \ } pit ee Ne | Governor Frazier, Attorney-General | ‘Lemke and Commissioner of Agricul-' ture John Hagan will be,on the stump} most of the time until the election. | Lemke now is on a tour in the eastern ; : MOTHER!

Una eras ) J. W. Brinton is giving illustrated lectures in the northern part of the state, speaking against the league. According to Independent managers he has received considerable atten- tion. This view is disputed by the Ryder News which says: “The News wants to.see North ‘Da- kota get out of the political ‘dilemma in which it is, has heen and war ™ 4 people of the state are thinking.

Gen. W. J. Morgan. In other respects the plan of organization will be in accord: with the ideas of Senator I. L. Lenroot, according to all indications. “sWe de not feel that we can or. ganize opposition to the Nonpartisan league as a citizens’ movement, or that we can abandon the Republican party vlan of organization, said A. Matheson, who was elected chairman }at the forenoon session. ‘The com- mittee has talked this over, and it is practically unanimous on that point.’ “This decision represents a victory {for the Lenroot program of a straight ; party fight within Republican ranks. [It is counter to the views of Atty. Gen.
