AT, HESTILL LOVES HIS DRINK Agod Yeleran Piaces Faith in Liquor Mexico City, Sept. 31 (UP)— General Clarence Horace Mont- gomerie Agramonte, 90 years old yesterday, and the oldest American living in Mexico, had a number of things to look back upon as he smoked cigars and drank whiskey in honor of his birthday. He recalled the charge of the ght Brigade, He had two fist fights durihg the past year—both of which he won. He admits having drunk “enough Whiskey to float a battieahip.” . He has been married three times. ; He has been in five wars. ’-He has twin “boys,” T4 years old, both of whom he insists look older than he. He is quoted as saying: “When I @et too old to look at a well-shaped ankle, I want to be put in my grave.” ° And when he was asked by -he United Press “if he would live his lite the same way if he had to do it again,” he answered somewhat Tuefully: &) “I'm afraid T would.” In Mexico Since 1888 General Agramonte has lived in Mexlco since 1888. At present he is a patept attorney although at various times he has been associat- ed in X kinds of enterprises. He was born in Havana, Sept. 19, 1830. His mother was Spanish and bis father American. After being educated in France, General Agramonte became a soldier of fortune. The wars in which he participated were: the Crimean; the Indian mutiny; the Maorian Insurrection; the United Btates Civil War, and the first Cuban War of Independence. He came out of the Civil War a major. During the charge of the Light Erigade in the Crimean War, Gen- eral Agramonte was eerving his first enlistinent and he saw the famous attack from a point on the front about two miles away. Wounded numerous times in these wars, the geheral also has a few scars ot more personal en- cognters. Two Eencounters Twice in the past year, General Agramonto showed that he still hag the courage of his youth. On one occasion he arrived home and found a peddler molesting his wife who is 72 and an invalid. The Beneral ejected the peddler from the house and hammered his face. On the other accasion a process server tried to arrest him under the impression that the general was some ofe else, When the process server would not be convinced of his mistake, General Agramonte pughed him out the door and then when his unwelcome guest re- tumed punched his nose. As he departed “the -6fficial was warned that it he returned he would be shot. Despite his age it is only in the last few years that he has suffered what mily be termed evén a slight degree of {ll health. whiskey, the general believes, s the best drink man ever inventd and he asserts that both his own experience and that of others shows that it is health-giving and mever intoxicating eo long as not mixed with other drinks. The general has had his Bourbon daily for most of his life and smokes ‘'a dozen or 15 cigars. ETHNOLOGIST WL CHANGE HIS LIFE To Stedy Primitive Folk as One of Them Washington, Sept. 21 (P—Youth in primitive places is happier, more free from stress, than in civilized communities, according to the ob- servations of Margaret Mead, 26, as- sistant curator of ethnology of the American Museum of Natural l-lll~| tory. Miss Mead will live among the natives of a little island off the coast of New Guinea this winter. In 1925 she spent nine months living the na- tive life on the isolated island of Tau, BSamoa. B8he made many friends and spent many hours lis- tening to their love affairs and stories of their lives. Her object was to study the'life of adolescent girls in the islands. 8he found that in a society where the small intimate family was re- placed by a large relationship group with much looser emotional ties adolescence was painless, unac- companied by crisis or strain. Chil- dren In the Samoan Islands, she ob- served, are admitted at an early age to a full knowledge of life, death and sex. There s no economic problem to press unduly upon the young. Precocity is frowned upon instead of encouraged. Religion is a formal social affalr and not a mat- ter of \individual experience. To make her observations she took active part In the native life. Bhe learned the language, ate their food, served the ceremonial drink kava to men of rank, even danced for the chiefs of a strange village. On her new mission to New Guin- ea she has a fellowship under the! Boclal Science Research council to make a study of the mental develop- ment of young children. 8he hopes to get material which will provide comparison with the pre-school child in America. Her work will be among black, kinky-haired Melane- sians.

Health authorities béing aroused to threatened peril are tak- ing energetic steps to check and eradicate the plague. Smarter, Finer Clothes Than You’d Expect at Our Prices .
