/ i oaay T&Grotv Old, Be Gay Leant A Trade Books, $1; Gum, $27 “A Fly's Ear" Munsey ^ By-ARTHUR BRISBANE Chauncey Depew, confiden tial man of three generations of Vanderbilts, once president of the New York Central railroad and United States senator, yesterday celebrated his 89th birthday. Presi dent Harding and his wife sent congratulations; so did the King of England and his son. Chauncey Depew explains his long life and good health, but doesn’t give the real explanation, which is cheerfulness. We kill ourselves with foolish eating and many foolish things. But above all, we poison ourselves with worry and ill temper. Depcw has let the others worry, so his 89th birthday finds him well. A great thing is a trade. Every wise man will teach his son or daughter some way to earn a liv ing. That makes a child ready for whatever may happen. Especially lucky are those that have their trade and workshop in side the brain. Paderewski, whose finger tips obey his mind, 4?as 1 earned $460,000 since November, an average of $7,000 for each of the 66 times he plkyed in public. Prof. Perry of Harvard suggests that, instead of wasting energy censoring, it would be a good idea to get the people to read a few books which a majority don’t do now. The Atlantic Monthly calls your attention to the fact that for $1 spent on books in the United States we spend $27 for chewing gum and $27 for perfume. As for "immoral books,” they are easily identified. Their au- i thors and sellers should be jailed. Such books, however, do not seek the readers. When a woman told Doctor Johnson there were many ' improper wmrds in his dictionary, his reply was, “Madam, I see,that you have been looking for them.” The world s struggle is for oil. It is needed for ships, flying ma chines. It represents industry, power and safety. Americans, through the Chester grant, though, have secured great oil possibilities from the Turkish government. France and England object. There will be a row about it at Lausanne. What chance does President Harding think this country would have to get oil from Mesopotamia if we were pushed into the world court and that court were allowed to decide the question for us? In the language of Frank A. Munsey, “we wouldn’t get enough oil to grease a fly's ear.” The world is horrified 16 read that in Moscow a young woman with thick bobbed hair, barely 20 years old, presided as judge and in a calm voice sentenced to death seven men for robbery with vio lence. Citizeness Anna Gluzman is the name of the Russian Portia. Ot eight men, all young, Anna sen teneed seven to death! One she let off with 10 years in jail, be cause he was only 18. ' ■ — ■ Our horror at the eight of a bobbed hair young lady, sentenc ing men to death, is merely habit. WMn an old gentletnan with no hair at all sentences people to death we take it for granted. But what’s the difference? The judgment of the bobbed 1 young woman may be as sound as that of the bald old man. Women are intuitively just. Three hundred years ago the first folio of Shakespeare’s plays appeared and the world is celebrat ing that >vent. Sonye mourn, be cause in London, where Shakes peare began his work, none of his filays is now on the boards. But hat is not important. There have not been, all told, half a dozen actors or actresses fit to play Shakespeare, able to read his lines intelligently. Unless you can get more out of “Hamlet” with'your own book and lamp than you could by listening to a young gentleman with handsome legs holding a skull in his hand and talking deep down in his chest, you don’t get much out of Shakespeare. Rabbi Silverman is distressed by modern marriage. Young people get married with a mental reserva tion, providing for “trial mar riage," and he “could n A m e names." Civilization makes us want three things: “Wealth, power and pleas ure," says the rabbi. Some try for a fourth, “self-approvgl.” Men have always struggled for wealth, power, pleasure. And in their struggling they have develop ed civilization, science, literature, everything worth while. Supreme wisdom uses our feeble, selfish de sires to make us do useful work. “Trial marriage,” is nothing new. Every marriage was original ly a trial marriage. We are grad ually working up to permanent marriage. It’s a long way off for the majority, because they are not fit for it—the men especially. fCopyrlfht, 1128.) Howell Doubtful About Taking Trip With Weeks Washington, April 14—The itin erary of two transports which will convey Secretary Weeks and a con gressional party to Porto Rico, Pana ma, the Pacific coast.

By rnlrerul Berries London, April 24.—Strong pressure is being brought to bear on Premier Poincare of France to force him to agree to a settlement of the Ruhr question, according to Information gained from high diplomatic quarters last night. The French Iron masters, who have suffered grave losses through lade of fuel and have thus been forced to close down their operations largely, are leader* in the move to compel a change of policy in the French gov ernment.

In or der to avoid clashes the French mili tary authorities have to enforce the strictest discipline. This has resulted in making the troops very restive. Carey W.

Popular Party Members Quit Italian Cabinet Premier Mussolini Far From Satisfied by Resignations •—Charges Explanations Not Clear. Rome, April 24.—Premier Musso lini haw accepted the resignations of the cabinet ministers belonging to the popular party. In a letter to Stefano Cavazzonl, accepting the resignations of the min isters, Premier Mussolini says: "If my government were the result of one of tlie customary or traditional parliamentary crises the resignation voted by the parliamentary group of the popular party might in some de gree have satisfied me. Today it does not and you can easily understand the rea sons. “It is not worth n:y while to under take the difficult task of interpreting a resolution voted by the most vio lent elements of the left. X asked for an explanation and find myself confronted with a rather obscure document which does not modify the substance of the vote taken by the congress at Turin, which, according to the evidence of the popular depu ties who participated therein, was es sentially an anti-fasciatl gathering." • The premier concludes by thanking Signor Cavazzonl and his colleagues. Under Secretaries Vassailo, MiLflni and Gronchi, for Ihcir sympathy in the past. Prince Charles Max Linchnowsky, German ambassador to Great Britain at llie outbreak of the world war, has just accepted employment as the man ager of a clgaret factory' at Baden Baden.

And how much beauty depends on complexion. Does it not seem impossible that any woman should neg lect that charm ? Two aids to beauty hare forages held supreme place. They are palm and olive oils. Modern science combined them in Palmolive Soap and made them more effector. That soap has become the leading toilet soap of the world. And for millions it is keeping youthful bloom. AW, less neglect We can remember—many of us—when most w omen of *0 started to grow old. Not so today. Women keep their youth. They care for their complexions. | And more women do that w ith Palmolive Soap than w ith all other ways together. W here it excels Palmoliie Soap was perfected by experts w ho had spent a lifetime in the study of facial soaps. The basic oils are ages old, but never were they made so efficient. They are embodied in a penetrating aoap, which goes to the depths of the pores. It cleans the skin of all its clogging matter, then softens and restores it. A soap which has gained such w orld-wide fame deserves a test from you.
