THE OLD R ROYAL BAKING POWDER ABSOLUTELYPURE Avoid A If Su Women Made Ridiculous By the Fal acy of Youth By DOROTHY I>IY "The cult of youth has become an obsession with us,' said a middle-aged woman who is brave enough to still celebrate her birthdays. "The papers teem with columns of advice to us about how to keep young. Our matis are loaded down with circulars ad vertising all sorts of systems of exer cises and physical culture and creams and lotions, each guaranteed to keep us young if we win only use that particular specific against the encroachment of age. "Of course, even the most ardent advocates of perennial youth realizo that you can't keep the body forever young; that in spite of all the mas sage and cold cream and gymnastics in the world we 'are bound at last to acquire crow's feet, and gray hairs, and stooped shoulders. "Then they tell us that if we can't be young physically, we must keep young mentally. So we are adjured to associate with young people and to keep on reading and studying, and going about, so that we won't get wrinkles on our souls, what ever we may have on our faces. "Now I am one of the few wno don't regard age as a curse, or even as a disgrace that you must try to con ceal from the general public as long as possible. I don't even feel that growing old Is a misfoirtune. Per sonally, 1 have enjoyed my lovely morning of youth. I have revelled in my busy, hardworked noontime of life, and I look forward with nothing but pleasure to a tranquil, quiet twilight of age when I can fold my hands and say that 1 have done an honest day's labor, and that it is ended, and I have earned a right to rest. Keep Young at Any Cost Seems General Opinion "But that's not the popular way to look at the age question. Tne general view is that we must keep young at any price, or at least try to fool the world into thinking that we are young, and the results are grotesque as well as pathetic. "Take, for example, the old women that we see all about us who would be so nice and sweet and lovable if they weren't trying to understudy their own granddaughters. "T met one of my acquaintances the other afternoon at a country club. She's a woqjan well on In middle life, but she was rigged out in the sportiest of sport clothes—heelless wdite shoes a skirt half way to her knees, a bril liant yellow coat, with a dinky little hat to match, set on her dyed hair at a rakish angle, and with her face painted up like the side of- a barn. "I know this poor old soul well, and T know that she spends fully half of her time with hairdressers and beauty doctors and masseurs, trying to keep young. She puts in enough work on it to achieve success in any line of business, and she suffers enough to en title her to be canonized as n martyr. And all to no purpose.

"X could weep when I think how often this woman drags herself out to dances to fox trot when her poor, tired old bones cry out for bed and hot water bags; how her o«« snoulders shiver under chiffon when they'd be so comfortable under flant»er; now she'd enjoy slumping down of an evening In a rocking chair with her corsets oiT, and her bedroom slippers on, and a good old-fashioned novel. Instead of rushing from a restaurant to a theater, and the theater back to n care. But she doesn't dare do it Because she's got to keep young. She-s afraid to indulge herself in the luxury of get ting old. "And perhaps the saddest thing about these women is that they have to ape the conversation of youth. Fancy a sensible woman of fifty-five or sixty having to roll her eyes and babble inanities at boys young enough to be her grandsons! It mattes me sick to think of it. And yet every day I see some superannuated old flirt try ing to act gay and giddy with men and pose as a charmer. "Such women are disgusting, they are the greatest bores on earth, ami yet if they only had enougn courage to be their age, ad talk like tnetr age, they'd be interesting. Any woman who has lived fifty or sixty years has had enough of the vital experiences of life and seen enough of ttie world to make her worth listening TO, IR she is only not so afraid of dates that sho expurgates everything worm while from her conversation. Another Tragedy in Those Who Never Grow Old in Splrtf "That's one side of tne tragedy of trying to be young when you are not young. There is a trageay of the other side also—the trageay or tne people who are the real Peter Pans or life, the people who never grow up in spirit, but whose bodies grow old. "I know a woman like that, too, a pathetic old creature who le Just as keen ahout going to every sort ot amusement as any debutante, who is as avid of pleasure as a child. "She wants to wear pale prnKs and blues, and flower-wrenthea hats, be cause spiritually she's eighteen instead of eighty, and she keeps her family in a perpetual state of alarm, be cause, although she's crippled up with rheumatism and deaf and half blind, she's always giving them tne sttp and going off on some impossible excur sion, from which she Is brought bacß in a state of physical collapse. And the way she frets against the limita tions of age is pitiful. "That is why I think the cult of youth Is all wrong. Age is inevitable. It is bound to come to us all, and it seems to me that the wise thing Is to welcome it as a friend instead or right ing against it as an enemy—for it is an enemy that is bound »o conquer us in the end."

Haskin [Continued from IXiitorial Page.] of the places where the Canadian re cruit finishes his military education. Troop* are mobilizing in every little town aiong the border. The close of the harvest season has brought a great influx of young farmers, who only tarried to help the home folks gather the crops before enlisting. The trol ley cars connecting the different towns are frequently side-tracked, while special cars filled with raw recruits take the right of way. The delayed civilians greet the soldiers with loud applause. Women reach out of the car windows to wave greeting and good wishes. Every one sings "God Save the King" with a fervor that convinces you Canada is English to the core. i Many Are Arrested The street cars running between the United States and Canada have become a stage for dramatic inci dents. One never knows when he going to be arrested or how long he may be detained, if he crosses Niag ara River. Tho Canadian officers make a close inspection of every pas senger. and the customs house officials of both countries exercise extraordi nary vigilance. Excitement is caused almost daily by the arrest of stran gers suspected of being German spies. The zeal of these officers sometimes leads them far astray. An American businessman, who for twenty years has liad a thriving business in the American city of Niagara, crossed over the Canadian town recently. He had paid his toll and had walked a few feet, when a stern voice com manded, "Halt!" Two officers came forward and placed him under ar rest, and he was held several hours. When he told his naine and business he was contradicted and informed that he was known and would be held. He was submitted to a pnost rigid ex amination before his captors would comply w-ith his request that they tel ephone to his place of business for someone to come and identify him. Similar incidents are common. It is said that forty or fifty persons have been arrested daily throughout the summer, upon suspicion. Most of them are released within a few hours at the most. The Canadian women are bending all their energies toward preparing luxuries for the soldiers. Every one is canning fruit. The guild houses of the churches have been turned Into canning factories. Tag days have been appointed to secure money to buy glass jars. In some towns, an extra penny la accepted by the ticket sellers of the moving picture theaters for the benefit of the canning funds. In Toronto last Saturday night over 20,000 troops assembled for a monster rally to obtain volunteers. Conscrip tion will never be needed in Canada. Young men atid old are volunteering more rapidly than equipment can be provided for them. Special trains for the transportation of recruits have been provided by the Canadian government.

His Tack Bag Bursts; Forty Autos Punctured Johnstown, Pa., Oct. 29.—A lum berman with a paper bag of tacks con taining six pounds of the kind used in fastening down tar paper, caused much wailing and profanity among automobile drivers and owners here yesterday. Nat Hanson, the lumberman, who lives in the mountains near New Flor ence, did not notice that his bag of tacks burst just after he had started for home, strewing the contents along the highway, a splendid macadam road much used by automobile traveling from this city to nearby towns. Every automobile that passed over the road yesterday got from five to fifty punctures. More than forty caTs were pulled into garages along the route with flat tires. Investigation showed that for a mile the road was thickly strewn with the big tacks measuring an inch in length. With their big, heavy flat heads, the punctures had landed point up when they hit the road. Angry automobllists hastily sot to gether and prepared to prosecute the miscreant who had barbed the road. Hanson came to town to-day for more tacks to replace those that were lost and the story leaked out. He will not be prosecuted. Golfer Herreshoff Begins Court Fight For Liberty Philadelphia, Oct. 29.

Edison, chairman of the advisory board of the navy, probably will be built In Philadelphia, if the ad vantages of Philadelphia as pointed out by Mr. Edison and several en gineers in the navy are recognized. Mr. Edison recommended the selec tion of a site on deep water on the Atlantic coast and high officials of the Navy Department are favoring the selection of Philadelphia. It was stated to-day that Secretary Daniels had apportioned $1,000,000 to the building of this station in this year's estimate, which will be suffi cient to begin the erection. It is to cost $5,000,000, when completed. It developed to-day that Mr. Dan iels. after looking over the best places tor the station, had come to the con clusion that it should be placed where there is skilled labor, a good market and near to the coal and steel fields. Philadelphia meets all these demands and is the nearest place to Washing ton offering deep and fresh water, which Mr. Edison said is needed.
