Living To e 100
What are your chances of liv-
ing to blow out one hundred
candles on your birthday? Im-
preving, according to some med-
ical authorities.
When a vital organ, shell as
the heart, wears out, life ends
--though the other organs may
be good for another 25 or 30
years.
Doctors are asking why old
age attacks different organs in
different people, and why same
families are long-lived and
Others short-lived.
Diet is believed by nutrition-
ists to offer some hope of pro-
longing life, Tests with rats have
shown that those on good diets
live a quarter as long again as
those on indifferent ones.
"I do not say that diet will
prevent old age creeping on," the
American Dr. J. S. McLester has
said, "But I do believe that, if
the result of dietetic experiments
with animals are correct and can
be applied to human beings, mod-
erate balanced diets will post-
pone senility and prolong the
useful period of life,"
That diet has undoubtedly an
important bearing on life and
longevity is borne out by the re-
searches in India of a former
chief of the Indian Medical Ser-
vice, Major-General Sir Robert
McCarrison.
Sir Robert was impressed by
the good health and long lives
of the Hunza tribes in the Him-
alayas. The Hunza are skilled
agriculturists. They eat coarse
unleavened bread, vegetables and
fruit. They like meat, but treat
it as a luxury.
In complete contrast to the
Hunza, Sir Robert found a south.
ern Indian tribe called the Mad-
rassi, who exist mainly on rice,
with little or no milk, cheese,
vegetables or fruit, They neither
live as long as the Hunza, nor
do they enjoy such good health.
Sir Robert fed two groups of
rats on the Hunza and Madrassi
diets. Rats fed on the Htmza
diet were like the people, free
from disease and long-lived;
those on the Madrassi food were
sickly and short-lived.
Dig That Chompin' Champ!—This is the technique—efficient but
slightly messy—that won 12 -year-old Ralph Hoyne first prize in
a watermelon -eating contest. He put away ten slices like this.
Doctors believe that some-
thing can be learned from mak-
ing a study of very old people.
But the centenarians generally
have differing explanations of
their long life.
Three years ago a Hindu was
reputed to have reached 182. He
did not look more than 50, and
claimed that his secret lay in a
special rejuvenation treatment,
which included being shut up in
a sealed chamber for 40 years.
Some professions, notably
painting and the church, seem
to produce more long-lived
people than others, Titian was
painting steadily until his 99th
birthday. Until he died at 90,
Michelangelo never lost his in-
comparable skill. In England to-
day, Sir Frank Brangwyn ,has
reached 85.

IT'S MUTINY, THAT'S WHAT
1T IS — THEY'RE FIRING ON
THE GUARDS! In other words
they've gone and changed the
rules of the sacred "Wall Game
at Eton."
Now we never saw the Wall
Game at Eton played, and if we
never should do so we imagine
we'll manage to survive. Still,
ever since we used to read those
books like "Tom Brown's School
Days" and the like, this peculiar
form of football has somehow
intrigued our imagination, if you
know what we mean. In fact.
we thought it was something like
the Laws of the Medes and Per-
sians, solid' as a rock and by no
means to be tampered with.
* , s
And now, they're changing
the rules. Why?—you ask. Just
for the paltry reason that there
hasn't been a goal scored in the.
annual contest since 1909. Next
thing you know they'll be short-
ening the right field wall at
Lords or the Oval so that there'll
be more four -baggers in cricket!
Mutiny, we calls it, Or even
worse. Here's the low-down as
reported, direct from London,
by Sydney Skilton.
* 4, e
Old Etonians, former pupils
of England's most famous school
and the delight of cartoonists
who caricature them in top hats
and monocles as symbolic of the
English race, are said to be shak-
ento their shirt-tails. The rules
of their old school football gams
are to be changed on the orders
of the Keepers of the Wall.
m
* *
It is a change described as ab-
solutely revolutionary and some-
thing like having an eight -oar
race with seven men or playing
cricket with a soft ball. What is
happening is that with effect
from next St. Andrew's Day
(Nov. 30) when the 113th annual
match is due to be played, only
10 boys instead of the traditional
11 will line up. The idea behind
the dropping of one defensive
player from each of the -two
opposing sides is to try and pro-
duce some action and possibly
some more goals,
o * 4
Goals in Eton's Wall Game, an
exclusive brand from which pre-
sent-day soccer is said to have
descended, are rare. One in every
38 years is the rate since records
were 'first kept, and so old Et-
onians may justifiably be excus-
ed at their disquietude at this sud-
den prospect of speeding things
up and a glut of goals. Goals to
Glass -Jawed Entry—Abbasong, a crack entry in the $100,000
liambletonian stake on August 12 is given a good chance of
'winning, despite its twice -broken jaw. Raymond "Bud" Cotter,
26, is shown with the horse he hopes will beat the 18 -year-old
record set by "Doc" Parshafl, who was 34 when he won the
Hambletonian in 1934.
them are an almost sacred busi-
ness. And although the old school
can never be what it was in
their day, the idea of "cheapen-
ing" the Wall Game is not a mat-
ter to be discussed lightly.
n
Indeed the Wall Game itself
cannot be discussed lightly be-
cause its vocabulary is just one
mass of weird and odd sounding
words and phrases that include
"calx," "shy," ''bully," "rogue"
and "cools." All these have their
special place in a game that is
contested up against a brick wall
with an ancient elm tree for a
goal at one end and a little old
door for a goal at the other. It
is a' game that has been going
on for a long time, a good two
centuries before the present list
starts. This dates from 1841, prior
to which nobody seemed to
bother about keeping the records.
fl fl T
Traditional signal for the start
of the Eton battle which is al-
ways betwen the Collegers, who
are the boys residing in Eton
College proper, and the Oppi-
dans, who live in houses around
the town, is the striking of 12.30
by the old clock in Lupton's
Tower. The two teams which
until this year were each com-
posed of 11 players—three known
as "walls," two in support of the
"walls" known as seconds,"*three
known as "outsides" and three
known as "behinds" then quickly
become one seething mass of
humanity. The "walls" who op-
erate in direct/personal contact
with the Wall, which is a stretch
of brickwork 12 ft.. high and sur-
mounted on the great day by as
many young Etonians as can
clamber on it, wear protective
clothing.
a e
Mostly the play is "tight"
which means that the ball, rather
smaller than an ordinary soccer
ball, is kept within the scrim-
mage as the two sides fight their
way along the .all into each
other's territory. "Loose" play
consists largely in booting the
ball out of play as far as pos-
sible in the opponent's territory.
Half -way through the two teams
change ends, the side which be-
gan by kicking into "Good Calx"
takes its turn at "Bad Calx." The
latter is the ten -yard area at the
tree end and, as its name implies,
the more difficult to secure a
goal in.
a k 4
A goal is scored when a player
hits the target -an area marked
on a tree trunk at one end or a
small door at t'he other—with a
"shy" he has earned in the scrim-
mage. When a player, despite the
interference of many pairs of
stout boots but With the assist-
ance of the wall manages to hook
up the ball with his foot and
touch it with his hand he shouts
"Got it!" Providing he is in "calx"
and providing the umpire agrees
with him he has a "shy" at' goal.
Ten unsuccessful shots at the
goals, which are extremely diffi-
cult to hit from an angle or at !1
a distance, are counted as one
successful one,
The last time a goal was scor-
ed was in 1909. This move by
the Keepers of the Wall to try
and make goals easier to come
by is what has so ruffled the
equanimity of Old Etdnians. And
what has produced today's col-
umn.
SMELLY STORY
Even in the rush hours there's
always a seat for Ascanio Spoli-
doro, of New York, when he
travels by subway train. He takes
his pet skunk with him, "It's

people don't know."
UNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
The Christian's War
(Temperance Lesson)
l:phesians 0;10-20, Romans
14:19-21.
Memory Selection: it is good
neither to eat flesh, nor to drink
wine, nor anytldng whereby
thy brother stumbletb, or is
offended, or is made weak,
Romans 14;21.
There is an eternal conflict on
between right and wrong. It be-
gan when Lucifler and his co-
horts were cast out of heaven
and will continue until the con-
quering Christ shall declare that
time shall be no more. If we are
going to win in our personal
conflict against evil we must
have the strength that God sup-
plies, There is no covering for
the back, There is no place for
the coward in this warfare, We
must face the foe,
The memory selection states
an important principle of this
temperance lesson. If it were to
be observed how different would
be this world. J. Frank Hanley
former Governor of Indiana
says, I bear no malice to those
engaged in the liquor business,
but I hate the traffic. I hate its
every phase. I hate it for its
utter disregard of law. I hate for
the human wrecks it has caused.
I hate it for the almshouses it
peoples; for the prisons it fills;
for the insanity it begets; for its
countless graves in potters'
fields, I hate it -for the crimes it
commits; for the homes it
destroys; for the hearts it
breaks. I hate it for ,the grief it
causes womanhood — the scald-
ing tears, the hopes deferred, its
burden of want and care. I hate
it as virtue hates error, as
righteousness hates sin, as jus-
tice hates wrong, as liberty hates
tyranny, as freedom hates op-
pression!"
In a highway accident in which
four young people were killed
the evidence that liquor was the
culprit was found in the broken
whiskey bottles among the debris
and mangled bodies of the youth-
ful victims. The father of one of
the girls in frenzied anguish over
the untimely death of his beau-
tiful daughter threatened to kill
the one who had provided the
four young people with liquor,
but upon going to the cupboard
where he kept his supply of
choice beverages he found a note
in his daughter's handwriting,
"Dad, we're taking along some of
your good liquor—I know you
won't mind."
The only remedy is for men to
be born anew by the Spirit of
God by repentance from sin and
faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and
Saviour,
Stole World's Most
Famouls Painting
Once more the woman with the
most famous smile in the world
is in the news. It is reported that
the number of people visiting
the Louvre, Paris, to view the
Mona Lisa, Da Vinci's master-
piece, is expected this year to be
greater than ever.
Her haunting Ace and enig-
matic, flickering smile has al-
ready intrigued millions of men
and women of all races. Why is
that smile so irresistible? Art
lovers have been probing the
problem .for 'years and nobody
has given a really convincing
answer.
Look again at those ruby lips
that pout and smile so faintly.
It is said that the artist sur-
rounded his exquisitely beauti-
ful Neapolitan model with sing-
ers and comic dancers to keep
that smile always on those lips.
Some art experts say that the
model was one of the loveliest
women of the Renaissance, Isa-

Nobody knows.
Forty-two years ago this sum-
mer an Italian house painter
named Vicenza Perugia perpet-
rated the most daring theft in
the annals of art. He stole the
Mona Lisa!
Perugia was putting a new
coat of paint on the wall of the
Louvre Gallery when he sud-
denly found himself confronted
with the great painting. Some-
thing about the Mona Lisa's in-
scrutable smile impelled him to
lift the 26in. by 20in. picture
from the wall and tuck it under
his commodious smock.
He looked round furtively:.
Nobody had seen him. He left
the building, unsuspected by of-
ficials who wished him "Good
afternoon" as he passed.
The theft electrified France
and the world of art. There were
hundreds of theories. One was
that the thief was a journalist
who wanted to prove how easy
it was to walk out with the
Louvre treasures. Another was
that it was the work of a fanatic
that it was the work of a lunatic.
Some said that a down-at-heel
artist whose own pictures would
not sell had stolen the master-
piece in a fit of pique.
Two years elapsed. By then the
hue and cry had died down and
Perugia walked boldly into a
Florence art dealer's and tried
to sell the Mona Lisa. He was
arrested and imprisoned.
