By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Dec. 31.—Mr. J. P.

Any midget found trying to enter the hearing room will be given al prompt bum’s rush. The committee wants to know al) about how the Morgan firm — with lsome aid from Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Guaranty Trust Company, and other' lbankers—financed the Allies in the World War. It has been through the Morgan) files, more or less, considerably ham- pered by the fact that the great) banking firm refused to produce doc- Juments unless they were specified and described. The committee will never; know how much it missed.

One is as old as one’s heart, A man is as old as his arteries. Age is a matter o! feeling, not of years. These and similar sayings contain some truth as as poetry. ‘This is one of a series of talks on the prevention of premature senilit ‘When does senility or old age begin? Have to decide on that before we apply preventive measures. Old age begins, according to some doctors, hundrd years before you are born. But, shucks, so does everything that may happen to you. Oh, certainly, some persons are better better material in them, better stock, no disease handed to them at bi But at worst -this is a minor factor so far as longevity is concerned. long you live and how well you retain your youthful vigor and faculties an capacity to lead a useful and happy life depends almost entirely upon your seas lis conception of how to live, whether you choose to follow the ways of health. ‘The preceding talk opened with some morbid statistics—only 4 out of 136 overweight adults whose hearts were carefully studied P.M. (after they were through with ’em) had attained the age of 70 years, and the average of the heedless ones had been 52.1 years. But I always endeavor to inject a cheer= ful note somewhere, so the talk closed with the happy suggestion that, be- sides an annual physical examination, every one over thirty years of age ought to try and run a mile each birthday. Of course there are ‘other forms of effort equivalent to a mile run it you're afraid the neighbors will think you're nuts, but we can’t stop now to define substitute tests. The idea of this mile run as a birthday celebration is to prove to yourself that you still are as good a man or woman as you were when you were in your prime. If you can last a full mile at jog trot or any gait you like so long as it is a run, you may throw your weight about among the best of ’em, for you are surely to fit and there’s nothing whatever the matter with your circulation. However, do not feel discouraged if you find yourself winded before you reach the quarter mile post. Just take it easy and keep your chin in. Your cue is to do, say, a quarter mile or perhaps a bit less, in the same way, every day, or better twice daily. Inside of a month you'll go sailing past the old quartet mile hitching post in fine fet- tle, for no doubt all that ailed you was flabbiness of the right ventricle (that’s the side of the heart which pumps the venous blood through the lungs for oxygenation)—flabbiness with maybe a touch of fatty infiltration, from disuse. A few weeks of intelligent training will do wonders for you. Not merely restore your wind, make you more capable to fight or to run away as the exigency may require, but you will be distinctly invigorated in spirit too, for there is no question that physical fitness gives man or woman more character, poise and personality, more self-respect and real dignity. If it is not practicable to train running, then at least do some kind of regular daily calisthenics at home, such as The Last Brady Symphony (book- let for ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your address) or any ystem of varied exercises you prefer.

The first of these factors is the development of commercial, industrial and agricultural trends which make the state more and more of an arbitrary and artificial geographical division. People move about with greater facility now than when the states were incorporated into an “indissoluble union” and! pride of citizenship in a given state has all but vanished. The American who takes pride in his national citizenship usually’ cares little whether that citizenship is under the local statutes! of North Dakota, Alabama or some other state. Another and fully as pressing a factor is the lately-acquired! habit of looking to the national government to aid in the solu-| ,-tion of local problems.

Her figure wasn’t to be overlooked, either, and the smart black bathing suit she wore was the only thing for a girl with such white skin and such red hair. When Paula came up to the sur. face she saw Scott, still standing near the diving board, still with that queer, absorbed expression on his face as he watched the girl to the green suit i She was swimming now, with easy effortless strokes. A little shiver, which had nothing to do with the temperature of the water, ran down Paula's backbone. She thought fiercely, “You idiot! Los ing your head every time he looks at another girl. He's looked at plenty of them before, hasn't he? This new one is just another dumb bunny who'll bore him to tears. Remember how he raved over that blond widow he met last spring and how, a few weeks later, he said if somebody had muzzled her so she couldn't talk he'd probably have married her.” By this time, smiling and sure, Paula had reached the end of the pool. She climbed the steps and sank down to the edge, near Barbara Colt and Grace Lawrence. “Who's the new girl?” Paula asked. “The one in the green suit?” © “That gorgeous gal is Nancy Wallace's half-sister, the one who was born abroad,” Grace answered. Paula said, slowly, “It's all rather vague, but it was something disgraceful, wasn’t it?” “She bas a bona fide ancestry, as far as that goes,” Barbara eaid “But think of those two having to live under the same roof! It’s tough for Nancy, having this one show up, isn't it?” “Wonder wh: she did come,” Grace said thoughtfully. “Think of leaving all the glitter and glory of Paris to come to that gloomy old dump where the Camerons live.” “1 suppose Paris is less glittery and glorious if you're broke,” Barbara said shrewdly. “I suspect lack of sheckels was the reason that brought her here.” Paula was scarcely listening.

As boys always did when Scott showed especial interest in a girl. There was simply no use trying to compete with Scott’s undeniable fascination for women. Given free rein, as he generally was, bis en- thusiasm wore off quickly. Not that he was unstable. In matters such as getting his professional training Scgtt had shown the most dogged persistence, surmounting obstacles—and there had been a lot of them—and coming through with brilliant honors. In romance he had yet to be deeply stirred. It was all surface stuff with Scott. Often Paula had wondered where it would end. This wild, unreckon- ing love she had for Scott which she must always disguise as pla tonic affection. Her eyes were fixed on Scott now, missing none of the charm that was being turned on full force for the benefit of the new girl. Perhaps Scott wasn’t exactly good-looking, but there was certain- ly something devastating about his mischievous gray eyes, his strongly masculine face with its firm mouth and nicely chiseled nose and chin. He was well built, too, tall and strong, yet managing not to look {like a football hero. “Now old Scott's in the charmed circle,” Grace laughed softly. “Paula, you'd better watch out for your interests. That girl has a perfectly fatal ‘effect hereabouts. She's been here only two weeks. and already she's roped in the town catch!” Paula exclaimed, “Not Ronald!” There was genuine interest in her tone, “He's abject,” said Grace. “There he is now, coming out of the pool.

Until there isn't a man around. Of course, then, you'll wind up by marrying me.” He smiled at her, and Dana found herself wanting to answer this engaging impudence with a smile of her own. Instead she frowned a little. “I’m just out of school, so I’m not sure how to answer when I’m pro- posed to,” she said. “The answer is yos,” Scott told her softly. “Just a sweet, simple “I thought you were supposed to say ‘This is so sudden!’” Scott shook his head. “Not any more. That’s what the man says nowadays when the girl says “You've been camping around here, drinking my father’s wine and eat- ing our food and using our car as though it were your own long enough, It’s time you went out and bought me a ring!’” - Dana laughed. “I like the way you do that,” said Scott. “I like the way you walk, too, and the way you dive and swim. I suspect I'm going to like the way you dance.” Dana said impulsively, “I’ve had an f{dea, just this minute.” “Was it a good idea?” “A perfectly ridiculous one. 1 was thinking that I might ask my grandmother to send you an invi- tation to the dance she's giving Nancy and me Thursday. But of course no girl invites a man she's just met.” “Oh, yes, they do,” Scott pro tested vehemently. “They invite all the new men whose jokes they don't know and whose footwork on a dance floor they haven't test- ed yet.” “Well, I'll’ think about it,” Dana sald casually, “But it sounds as Dana said, “I've been planning to ask you.

Soorr got up and moved away, “Glad he's gone,” Ronnie sald frankly. “I don’t know what there is about that fellow—yes, I do, too, I’m horribly, insanely jealous of him at this moment.
