German Technical
Union Enrolls
; Some Able Men
. ' (Correspondent of The Associated. Prow.)
Berlin. July 31. In the new Ger
man Union of Technical and Econom
ic Associations, with its 60,000 mem
bers, there haa been organized the
ferrates! industrial body in any coiin
try in the world. The members in
clude architects, engineers, electro
technical experts, marine engineers,
coal and iron men and chemists.
Planned many years ago, the com
pletion of the organization has been
hastened by the war, since one of'jts
main purposes is to prepare for the
great commercial battle which will be
gin as soon as the military fighting is
at an end.
This German anion proposes to
work in close relation with similar
bodies in Austria and Hungary, the
' ultimate aim being to incorporate
them all into a great central European
- body of enormous extent and power.
It is argued that such a force will
make itself heard in the settlement of
the great industrial problems which
will come up after the .war and the'
governments will be forced to pay at
tention to the commercial interests.
And it is also asserted that the mili
tary interests of the state will benefit
also from such a powerful organiza
tion as the technical sciences and
' chemistry are all the time becoming
more . important for the army and
navy and the general defense of the
country.

It was in the half darkened audi

OLD, TOO, HAVE HOSE FAITH
'The Blessings of Old Age" was
the theme upon which Rev. J. A, Max
well preached yesterday morning at
Calvary Baptist church, taking his
text from proverbs 16:31, "The hoary
head is a crown of glory if it be found
in the way of righteousness.''
"Some people with the wrong per
spective of life are in the habit of
speaking of old age as 'the winter of
life,' " said Dr. Maxwell. "This is en
tirely wrong. There is no reason for
so calling it. Ana even it it were tne
winter, of life, winter has many de
lights and comforts of which summer
knows nothing. And sumer has many
discomforts and disadvantages that
are unknown to winter. .
Live in Content.
"Old people, if they have lived good
lives, have passed the winter of their
lives and have come to the calm
heights where resignation and content
abide together with wisdom ana
oeace.
"The person who 'dreads to grow
old' either isn't living the right kind
of life or else lacks the wisdom to see
life in its reality.
"Old age is the period of fruitful
ness, the best time in life as in nature.
Old people have patience that young
ones know nothing of. The young
fret and fume- and rush about The
old, the righteous old, abide in peace
and security and wisdom.
"Faith is another mighty attribute
of the old that is often missing in the
young. You don't find the hoary
heads soing to hear some young the
olna-icai sensationalist exnound the
higher criticism. The old have learned
by God's guidance in the past that He
will guide them in the future to the
end of this life and into tne next one.
Seta in Glory.
'The sun is beautiful when it rises
and when it hangs in the zenith. But
not so beautiful as when it sets in a
blaze of glory and in colorings that
no human hand has ever been able to
paint. So it is with the life of man
it it be tound in tne way ot rignieous-
