The departed generation of plo: Peers, who went into the forests and made homes, were real men.

Copeland, health commis- sioner of America’s larg- est city: “I believe the average life of man can be lengthened to 85 years if he adopts cheer- fulness as a happy man- ner. The grouch will not ordinarily live as long as the man with a pleasant disposition. Poise and an even temper, the elimina- tion of worry by the sub- stitution of more cheer- ful thoughts, are estab- lished aids to health and longevity.” Wherefore, Dr. Cope- —— land has named the sec- ond week in January a a “Live Longer Week, in which war is to be made—mentally—on the grouch, The health ment will have the as- sistance of numerous civic organizations, es- pecially women's organi- zations, in preparing for “Live Longer Week.” It is planned to circularize the schools, civic organi zations and citizens gen- erally. Ministers, priests and rabbis will be asked to preach “Live Longer” sermons; the Boy Scouts are to be organized to distribute “Live Lon- rer” literature. The urge will be for “preventive” measures, including observance of the rules of PGS eh proper food, air, exercise, > of person and surround- ings, and, above. all— proper mental attitude. Why not “Laugh and Live Longer Week” in Seattle, too. Here’s a fine chance for the Elks, the Moose, and kindred organiza- tions, to work out some general forms of amuse- ment and good cheer. Let’s have the bands play frequently. ,Let’s laugh. Just to keep the ball rolling, The Star offers $25 for the best practi- cal plan of celebrating a “Laugh and Live Longer Week.” It offers $10 for the best local funny story, $10 for the best limerick based on some local topic, submitted to the “Laugh Editor” next week, Com on water's fine. depart- in—the POLICE SHOOT BRIGHTER SKIES, ‘DRUG’ ADDICT WARMER SUNDAY | > il ; |Fire When He Attempts to|Observer’s Records Show| Flee From “Dope” Joint Shot as he was attempting to run away from arrest early Sun- day morning, W.
