FIFTY THE GIVE-AWAY AGE
By DOROTHY 1)1 X
Fifty is the give
away age with
women. It is the
psychological mo
ment when life calls
ft woman's bluff,
and when she has to
put al! of her cards
down on the table,
face up, so that all
the world may see
what she has and is.
AH of her little
pretenses suddenly
fall to pieces; all
her iittle suberfuges
suddenly bee ome
transparent. Every- j
thing that she has thought and done
and been all her life rises up and
claims her as its own.
Youth, of itself, is an impenetrable
disguise that nobody can fathom.
The greatest connoissuer of living
pictures cannot tell whether a
young girl is going to make a beau
tiful woman or not, for practically
all young creatures are pretty.
Every girl of eighteen has the dewy
eyes, the "resh complexion, the lus
trous hair, that make what the French ,
call the bsauty of the devil.
But when a woman is fifty these j
evanescent charms are all gone,
and if she is still beautiful she must
have been modelled l>y nature on as
classical and enduring lines as a
Greek statue. Fifty is the give-away i
age for looks when the merely
pretty woman's prettiness dissolves
into thin air, and she turns into a
rag and a bone and a hank of hair,
or else into the living semblance of (
a perambulating feather bed.
Automobile Club Will Appeal;
to Public Service Commission
Special to The Telegraph
Columbia, Pa., May 14.—The Co
lumbia Automobile Club, which com
prises nearly nil of the owners of au- |
tomobiles in the borough, has a war j
on with the Susquehanna Turnpike,
Company which may be carried to the
Public Service Commission. The club;
recently demanded that the turnpike I
between Lancaster and Columbia be j
repaired and made more passable for ,
motoring, and their protests were met
with an unsatisfactory answer. A sec-;
ond notice has been sent and in case :
the turnpike company falls to im
prove the pike within a reasonable
time the matter will be taken before
the commission for adjustment. It is
understood that the Conestoga Trac- j
tion Company has a lease on the pike |
and the turnpike officers think any re- j
pairs needed should be made by that
corporation.
The Most Durable
Paint for Your Home *
If you are thinking of painting your home, do
you realize that you can undertake the task at
a small expense, provided you use careful judgment
in the selection of a reliable paint? These factors
serve as a basis for comparison-durability, economy,
protective qualities and ease of application.
LAWRENCE PAINTS
READY MIXED
embody all these points, owing to their physical
properties and their chemical constituents. The
utmost attention is paid to the selection of materials
and to their scientific compounding. This gives
you a paint offering greater resistance to ever
changing climatic conditions, and far more durab
ility, than is found in ordinary paints.
Lawrence Paints are economical because of
their large covering capacity, and, being properly
proportioned, are easily applied. All in all, you'll
save both time and money by choosing LAW
RENCE PAlNTS—they present the true solution
of your housepainting problem.
They are put up in cans, mixed ready to use.
We will gladly offer you color suggestions if you

THURSDAY EVENING,
| Fifty is the give-away age about a
I womans intelligence. The high
' spirits of youth and its childish cur
iosity often pass current for clever
ness. We see a young girl with her
face lit up with animation, chatter
ing and laughing, and we judge her
!to he bright.
' We see her vividly interested in
; going about and taking part in
I every new thing that comes along,
' and we jump at the conclusion that
j she is one of the women who grasp
i life at every point
i This may be true or it may not be
true. She may have intelligence, or
her sprightliness of a kitten that wears
off when she reaches maturity.
There's no way of telling whether
| the sparkle in a young girl's eyes
jin the light of intelligence or the
| freshness of just being eighteen,
but when a woman is fifty she gives
away her mental status to the :ast
i fraction of a ln;ir.
■ She's got fifty years of living be
hind her. and it has either broadened
; her sympathies so that they take in
i the universe or else they have nar
rowed her down to what the Neigh
bors wear and her grandchildren's
' teething. Oh. there's no hiding from
the public whether you've got scram
bled brains or good gray matter in
|your headpiece when you are fifty.
Fifty is the give-away age for
women about character. You can't
tell anything about a girl's dispo
sition from her face, because there
; are no lines to go by, but by the
I time a woman is fifty her every
; emotion has etched its story on
| her face. •
Look at the little fine lines around
a woman's eyes. One glance will
] tell you whether they have been
made there by fifty years of smiling

,and good nature or by fifty years of
fretting and worrying. Look at the
| curves around her mouth,
i It's no trick at all to tell whether
they are lines of tenderness and af
; fection or the bitter lines of nag
; ging and jealousy and ill nature,
i The very mouth that has kissed
and comforted takes on a different
turn from the one that has quar
i reled.
At fifty a woman can no longer
j hide what she is spiritually. l.t
comes out in her face under the
! heaviest rouge. It proclaims itself
jin spite of the most carefully culti
vated manner. It's her thoughts
land her attitude toward life that
[make a woman beautiful at fifty, and
if she's thought evil thoughts and her
attitude toward the world is hard and
selfish not all the masseurs and com
plexion specialists in the world can
I help her.
Above all, fifty is the give-away
I age for women as regards the affec
: tion of those about them. At fifty
i a womans' physical fascinations are
gone. She can no longer attract
men with her beauty nor charm
acquaintances with the lure of her
youth. If she holds her family and
friends it -is because she has bound
I them to her by a thousand un
! breakable ties of goodness and help
fulness and tenderness.
We hear a lot about middle-aged
■ women losing their husband's love,
< and we attribute it to the woman's
waning pulchritude, but no man
I ever • forsakes the wife of fifty who
i has kept step with him and who has
always been his moat faithful comrade

aged woman who has been a good
friend to the world ever lacks friends

PB MEETING ID
LYKENS COIL MINE
Workers in Nicholson-Hemminger
Evangelistic Party Conduct Ser
vices Far Underground
Special to The Telegraph
Lykens, Pa., May 14.—There were
no services in the Nicholson-Hem
minger tabernacle on Monday with
the exception of the personal workers'
committee and a recital of the great
choir. After the recital the choir
went to the homes of some sick people
in Lykens, where a song service was
held and prayer offered. Tuesday aft
ernoon Professor Heniminger met the
booster choir, more commonly known
as the "Sunshine Choir," and re
hearsed some new hymns and there
was a special service in the tabernacle,
at which time the subject for discus
sion was "The Work of the Holy
Spirit." Tuesday morning a number
of miners from Gratz, in company
with others from Lykens and Wico
nisco, held a prayer meeting in one
of the lowest levels of the coal mine
here, and others will be held during
the week. A prayer meeting was held
in Mossup's knitting mill at Wieo
nisco, while the workers in Lykens
held a similar service in the Baptist
Church of Lykens. Tuesday night
when the meeting was about to begin a
terrific thunder storm came up and
notwithstanding the rain, which came
down in torrents, about 1,200 people
faced the speaker, the Rev. Mr. Nich
olson. It would have been impossible
to hear the minister under the circum
stances, so Professor Hemminger con
ducted a song service. The offering
was then taken and a report showed
that the offerings for the week past
were over S6OO, or almost half of the
expense budget. After the expenses of
building and lumber, etc., have been
met there wfll be no more offerings
taken until the close of the campaign.
The Rev. Mr. Nicholson made a
powerful plea to the unsaved and was
rewarded by fifty converts. On Sunday
night fifty-nine came forward, thus
making a total of 109 in two nights.
On Saturday afternoon there will be
an anti-boose parade and anti-boose
services in the evening. The parade
will be headed by two bands, the
United Brethren of Lykens and the
Wlconisco Cornet Band.

TRACTION ENGINE
RULESJET ASIDE
Commissioner Bigelow Will Let the
Next Legislature Settle the
Difficulties
By reason of misunderstanding and
misinterpretation of the laws and reg
ulations relating to traction engines,
there has been engendered a feeling
of discontent and dissatisfaction
among some owners of such machines.
This has caused much concern and
they have been exercised by what Is
said to be an exaggerated idea of the
stringency of these laws and regula
tions, according to a statement issued
by the State Highway Department to
day.
To correct this condition, E. M.
Bigelow, State Highway Commissioner,
after having given careful considera
tion to information und facts furnish
ed him regarding the use of traction
engines in agricultural work and with
a desire to aid and assist and not to
interfere with or hinder such work,
deems it advisable to suspend, for
the time being, rule three governing
the operation of these machines so
that those owning traction engines of
over 100 inches in width, used for
agricultural purposes, may 1-ave them
registered.
Traction engines aro of various
makes, some of which are of such size
and weight and so equipped that they
ar capable in the bands of a careless
and reckless operator, of doing great
damage to all kinds of roads, cul
verts and bridges and it is to prevent
this possible damage that the laws
were enacted and the rules promul
gated.
Threshers, balers or water tanks are
not considered trailers and never have
been. No registration lee is required
to be paid for them.
The ordinary wear and tear of a
traction engine used for agricultural
purposes on a public road is not and
can not be considered as damaging a
highway in such a way as to make the
owner of the engine liable for the
damages.
In order that no one may be put to
a hardship, owners of traction engines,
equipped with cleats other than those
prescribed by law, will be permitted
now to operate such engines during
this year, with a view to having tho
next Legislature modify the law. In
fact, it is the opinion of Commissioner
Bigelow that the law should be so
amended as to make a distinction be
tween the farmers' traction engines
and the big, heavy tractor used for
hauling freight and heavy loads.
No one is required to swear or to
make affidavit to anything except to
the facts set 'orth in the application
but all are required to agree to abide
by the rules and regulations as estab
lished by the State Highway Commis
sioner.
The commissioner says that he will
welcome any information on the sub
ject and will be pleased to confer with
any and all persons who may feel they
are unfairly restricted and will be glad
to consider any suggestions looking to
any change in the regulations, where
ever such change can Vie made without
at the same time authorizing the un
restricted use of vehicles capable of
destroying improved roads and
bridges.

Anthracite Coal
A Good Investment
Money invested by the housekeeper in an
thracite coal this month, while prices are re

to 15 per cent.
It can be put in the cellar; will not lose
any of its value by summer storage and will
be worth good gold dollars -next fall and
will be even worth more next fall than it is #
now.
Anthracite coal, therefore, is a perfectly
safe investment.
