BE YOUNG, CARRY ON (Morgantown (W. Va.) © Post) Would you like to keep young? Then forget your birthdays and just keep avorking. ‘= Chauncey Depew was 92 years old yesterday, ‘April 23. The other day he gave the following as views on working: ‘ "1 consider that my best and most important Sprk was performed between the ages of 75 and 50. Most of the active men I knew who have died @id so after they had quit working. It is much worse to rust away than to drop away.” ; Depew thinks it unfortunate that supreme gourt justices in New York state have to retire ‘when they are 70. ~_ “Often they are at the height of their useful- tess at that age,” said Depew, Take the example # Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the United States supreme court. He is 85 and probably more 7 than any other justice on the supreme court ‘bench, with the possible exception of Chief Justice aft.” F Depew is right. It is in the looking forward, fhe having something to do on’ the morrow, the <Bopes and dreams of the future that we live best. ~ The time is most opportune for citizens and local civic and commercial organiza- tious to get busy on the matter of a new postoffice building for Key West. Every one should im- mediately get into communication’ with Senator Fletcher and Congressman Sears. at Washington, urging quick and energetic attention. to this high- ly important matter. The public buildings bill now. pending in con- gress carries with it a total of..$165,000,000. .. Of this vast sum, $15,000,000 goes to complete pro- jects already authorized, $50,000, 000*to -be spent for public buildings within the Districtiof£ Columbia and $100,000,000 for ‘public buildings én. other por- tions of the United States. This bill ‘provides that the Postmaster General shall designate the ‘places where post office buildings are to be, greeted. So the workers for the Key West building ‘would have only one official to deal with. The government several years, Ago acquired ownership of a building site in Key West that is perfectly ideal for a post office! building. This property is on the east side‘ of Sitlonton street and extends to the corner of Caroline. * With the site already paid for apd available, and an appropriation of a hundred ‘million dollars being made for the erection ‘of sa¢h“Buildings, it: is high time something is being done to secure a Sufficient portion of this vast amount of money to cbuild a new postoffice for KeyhWestiss 2 The large and rapidly increasing volume of business now transacted at the local postoffice re- quires a larger and more commodious building, the proceeds Justify it, and the people are. entitled to it, This is a matter of teeinendeal importance to Key West and Monroe county. There is absolute- ly no time to/lose if anything is to be done about it at this session of congress. What are the civie organizations of Key West going to do about it? : ‘ f BETTER HOMES WEEK The week of April 25 to May 1 is appointed as Better Homes Week, and in over 3,000 com- munities, notice will be taken of: the occasion. A pleasing dwelling place isa great moral | and economic factor. It helps keep people con- tented in a wholesome environment, it- quiets the restless spirit of many, and it tends to create sub- | stantial character, The greatest need along this. line, is for com- fortable homes for wage-earnérsiasid all of. small | means, that can be bought or rented’ for & mod- erate price, In many places rents-seem dispro- portionate to the means of the averie mechanic’s family. Business men in any town should reflect’ that if they show enterprise in providing"enough homes for the people of the town, they help’ promote in- dustrial peace, they make people contented and industrious, and they add to the ‘prosperity of the whole community, in which they will”share. It is | well worth their while then, to. build moderate | priced houses.as an investment, or.to form cor- porations for the purpose of providing an ade- quate supply of such homes. . \ § People demand better accommodations than formerly. Run down dwellings With few improve- ments and in a. general state of disrepair, might | | the higher standards existing “now}* people will not take them if they can possibly get, anything better. If landlords allow houses -to deteriorate, they are likely to see them stand ‘idlé a good deal of the time. } The growth of many places is beime-checked by the lack of an adequate number tae { homes for people who desire to-work fh séch places. | Many very attractive homes have bedh built jin re- | cent years in Key West but one can_ reasonably expect that there will soon be a need for many | more. : * NO TOWN NEWSPAPERS Think of a city of 50,00 people with no news. { paper! Frank P. Glass, veteran Amerinan news- | paper man, who has recently cc iplet4 a tour of-| the world, found such a city, country, but in France. Excepting in the largest cit Mr. Glass, newspapers in France x: between, and there are practically.» papers, such as we have in America. In some of the towns, men go about the streets calling out the news gieaned from city newspapers, often several days old. Yet the newspapers of} Paris have enormous circulations, that of LePetit Journal reaching over a million, the largest in the } world. But for the great mass of the people of France there is no such thing as the publitation of” local news. Only, the most prominent people and the most notorious criminals ever get their names into the newspapers. Quite a contrast with this céuntry,, where the news of every rural community is welcomed by home town editors and gladly published for the benefit of their readers. 4° i am uneivilized | xuecording to iew and far ral town | ; |in Lancashire were destroyed by. | distressed operatives. bestolerated and accepted some years.ago, but with Le | Massachusetts, | dis: Some mechanics think the cur was sent to the garage to have the con tents of its 100} box removed.
