Timee Square; Schultz's Newsstands, Entrance Grand Central, ¢2nd Street. The magnificent yesterday caused many a Nutmeg- ger to wonder at the pecularities of the world's present winter. Through- out Europe the coldest weather in centuries; and Saturday there was a dispatch in the Herald from Colorado which among other things told railroad tracks to the iso- lated town of Silvertorn were buricd under 200 fect of places. What have Nutme 1o deserve all this loving kindn, only on snow in some rs done WORK FOR THE AGED In a convel with Mayor Paonessa the other the chief executive spoke convincingly of the ation day necessity of the city providing labor | for men past three score ycars. The factories, under existing laws relat- ing to compensation for injuries that might be due to ill-health as well as definite disabilities a result of labor, have become increasingly par- ticular about employing aged even when they have work that could well be performed by this class in society. It is essential, there- fore, that the city should not lose sight of the fact that work for many aged men as pjossible is civic duty as well social enlightenment. In our estimation, sense pivoted upon humanitarian in- stincts of a high order. There is no room in any know of that will neglect the needs of the aged nor deny to them the right to contribute their ability to the men this sound religious creed we welfare of society, even though it may waned from that of an carlier day. It is a pernicious ten- have dency impigned upon a discreditable doctrine indeed that would throw wmen after they are past their prime upon a social junkheap. Civilization, mass production, efficiency and what not does not mean progress if it in- cludes the “not wanted” sign for the aged.
