New York Is Wilder Than Woolly West” SO SAYS R USSELL, COWBOY ARTIST He Wears Plainsman’s Boots and Knows All the Dan- gers of Frontier Life, but He Is Afraid of the Fifth Avenue Traffic. Copyright, 10% By Roger Batchelder. by the Press Publishing Co, (The Tork Brening World.) “New York is lots wilder than the woolly West.” . So says Charles M. Russell, the cowboy artist, now a guest in New York. And Charlie ought to know, for he went to Montana in the days of the “Yes, " he went on, “the West ia a pretty quiet place. I guess it has always been quieter than New York” “Why is that?” (asked. “Well,” he drawled, “they never bad as rough characters as in a big city like this “Then you don't like New York?" 8, 1 like it.” he'admitted, “but I wouldn't want to live here. I ness ft’s all right, though, if you like it.” It was hard to think of him as “Mr. Russell.” Everybody has always called him “Charlie,” and the cause _was evident. He is a big, friendly chap, stunly as an oak and a bit {tl at ease “in company.” His hair ts white, and he i# over fifty, but his body has the rugged appearance of youth, and his strong, intense face reflects the vitality bred of the plains, When I interviewed him he wore @ erty sult, a white shirt with a col- lar lined with blue attached, and plainsman’s boots, As 1 gianced at them momentarily, Mrs. Russell no- ticed it and whispered, “Ie has al- ways worn them He's never worn hoe in his life. And they come up to his knees She was a charming young woman, very, very proud of her husband, and as a man came in and introduced , himself as a former resident of Ana- onda, she told me about Charlle. “He's a terrible man to interview," she confided. “You can't get him to eay a thing, Maybe I can help.” She told me that Le had always painted. As a boy in St. Louis, he heard the strange tales of the fronticr and wanted to go there.

At fifteen he went to Montana in a stagecoach and lived for two years in the mountains with a trapper, who sold the skins and brought elk and deer meat to the town markets. Then he became a cowpunclter, and for eleven years was on the “night shift,” going to bed after dawn and getting up at sunset. The color im- pressions which he gained then now appear in his works, for nearly all of them have either sunset or sunrise for a background. He drew many pictures during that period, sonse- times paintings on the tents or cabin walls, again, rough sketches on bark or paper. Finally, in the winter of ‘87, the terrible storm killed most of the cattle on his ranch, and the fore- man was asked to report to the own- ers. AS he writing, Cha made a sketch of a lone steer deep snow, surrounded by coy: He wrote “The Last of the 5,000" under it, and the foreman tore up the report and sent the picture instead.

Now, I don't think you riven this gentleman a thing for his tnter- view,” Mrs, Russeil protested to her husband. Charlie shifted from one foot to the other, “Yes I did,” he replied guiltly.

Says. By Fay Stevenson. Coprright, 1971, by the Prem Publishing Oo. (The New York Mrentng Wortd) H Joy of joy and miracle of miracles! Word comes from Vienna that perpetual youth for women ts af last attainable. Prof. Holznecht, Director of the Roentgen Institute of Vienna has now startled the world by declaring! “Woman is rejuvenated physi- ologically and psychologically by the treatment | have devised. Blurred voices have become clear and fresh, complexions have cleared, eyes brightened and red. Age is ban- ished. it is the Roentgen ray. “Thirty out of 100 women whom | treated showed decided rejuvenation, which, however, did not affect fertility. The patients were aged between forty and fifty, In some cases my Roent- gen treatment caused a complete change of appearance. Fresh complexions returned, wrinkle: disappeared and the patients re- covered the buoyancy of earlier life. Curiously enough, the treat- ment had no effect on weight.” Cutting this clipping from the pa- per I hurried to the New York Diag- nostic Clinics and Roentgen Ray Laboratory at No. i125 West Tad Street. There I found Dr. Lesser B. Groeschel, director of the clinics, “Is it true? Can we actually reju- venate fat, fair and forty?" I asked Dr. Groeschel. “It may be that we can,” enthustas- tleally replied the director. “Of course we Americans cannot attempt to make use of Prot Holznecht’s dis- covery for rejuvenating woman until we have more direct information. The Roentgen ray 1s simply the X-ray and its powers are unlimited. The rays are beneficial in amall doses, juat as strychnine is, but they are extremely dangerous in big doses.” “As soon as Prof. Holsnecht’s methods are made+ known, do you think New York will be filled with women who are as anxious to bask in the Roentgen rays as Ponce de Leon was to find the Fountain of Youth “Seriously speaking," returned Dr. Groeschel, “I know how powerful and wonderful this ray is and I should not be at all surprised if the tissues and glands of the human being could be built up by this new method. 1 rather imagine the treatment is similar to Dr. Serge Voronoff's gland process." “But one treatment would not make @ man or a woman young for life, would it?" [ asked. “lan't it possi- ble that the woman who wished to remain young and beautiful with all thé freshness of youth, would have to use the Roentgen ray every six months just as a ‘permanent wave’ must be attended to evory so often?” “No doubt that is true,” replied the director, “but that Is also true in the une of drugs or medicine, She will probably need the stimulating rays Just as @ furnace needs fuel or the human body needs food. lsut if she can find perpetual youth, as Prof, Holznecht declares, how worth while it all will be to her. Women will be waiting in lines from here to the North Pole. “So far the Roentgen ray has been REN 7 THEIR, BY SOPHIE IRENE LOEB 11, tor the Prem Publishing Co, (Tho New York Events World.) public prints tell ~~ ~ ~ a waged In domestic and divoree the custody of children. heartrending mother surreptitiously from the husband from whom she arated, Bo that she canehave them r hearts go through all rifled which place for every man's wisdom of Solomon tn ather is one who will suffei and simple solution to the jon is to settle by statute controversy as to hould have the child. slous, can hardly fering that is ¢ parting from her ch Ido loves his e hie children mother went of death to bring her children tnto the world.
