The Seaforth News, 1930-08-28, Page 2Editor Forsees When Leisure Time Will Be World's Chief Problem Columbus, Ohio.—Joy Elmer Mor- gen, editor of ,the Journal of the Na- tional Education Association,, advises United States educators to prepare the public for the time when the aver- age working day will be just four hours long. I•n a recent address: to a. department- al meetiug of the association's annual convention, Morgan said the rapid rate of replacement of men by ma- - chines makes it reasonable to believe that the working week gradually will be shortened. By 1900 men and women probably. will be working the equivalent of five four hour days, . he said. He based this statement on the assumption that machine replacement of men will clip an hour off the working day each year. The problemfor the educator, he said, is to teach the public how to use all the leisure time it will have on its hands. Tasty Recipes Beef Gravy (for.

Duke's Ideal Of Camp Realized Brought Together on Terms of Equality and Simple Comradeship "Nearly four thousand boys have taken part in it; many hundreds of Will Live Longer firms have been associated with the weeks' life at New Romney; hardly a public school remains uurepresented and through the publicity given to the. venture by the B.B.C. and the Press, many millions are aware of the fact of the Camp, but many still ask the question: What is its purpose?' or. that far more complex query: 'Do they mix'?" so writes Mr. Rebut R. Hyde in The Camp Book (Berm), in which he tells the story of the camp suggest- ed by H.R.H. the Duke of York. It is nearly ten years," says fair. Hyde, "since the Duke of York eou- cetved the idea of bringing together on terms of equality and in simple com- radeship boys from the public schools i and workshops of the country. "The sections are composed of as equal number of public school and in -' dustrial boss, but beyond that division no attempt is made either to segre- rate or m!c the two elements. Middle-aged Man of To -day Has Less Chance of Sur- viving Disease New Fork.—The middle-aged man who sits back in his easy chair with the atisfying thought that science prom.ee him twenty more years of life than it did two generations ago to hie grandparents was warned by the Milbank Memorial Fund recently that such a settee of security is un- warranted, nwarranted, as the inereaeed span ap- pliee not to himself but so his child-, ren. A baby born now may expect to live l two decades longer than if he had'. been born in 1870, but his father to -day hasn't even as good a chance of living to three score and ten as he had only, ten years ago, in 1920. The Milbank; organization for the first time has based its work on the death reglstra tion figures obtained =from the 1920 and 1930 censuses. And after finishing its studies the Milbank unit labels the increase in' death rate among the middle-aged ot, this machine age as "alarming," Be-' ,wean 1021 and 1927 the passing on of I men between thirty-five and forty-four Increased 12.5 per cent.; of men be- tween forty-five and fifty-four, 13.5 per cent. The mortality among women of the first ages decreased 4 per cent. during the period, but among the lat- ter ages it increased materially. Both men and women of middle age to -day have less chance to survive at- tacks of the heart and to escape acci- dents, and they are now making a poor showing against against cancer, nep- hritis and diabetes at the older ages, while men are less able to combat pneumonia. Between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-four, from 1921 to 1927, the in- crease ot death from heart disease In- creased 15 per cent.; for men between' thirty-five and forty-four it jumped 40 per cent.; for women the increases were 5.3 per cent. and 10.6 per cent. The cancer rate increased 17 per cent. among men during the period and 11 per cent. among the women, The most significant unfavorable change was fa the age group between six=y-Sve and seventy-four, which rose nearly24per cent. for men and nearly le per cent. for women. _About the only encouraging facts found by the report were is the cases of tuberculosis and apoplexy, deaths from which are on the decrease. ,[any of the middle-aged person's troubles are constitutional and are not diag- nosed in time, and as a result the Mil- bank Fund reports that its studies tend to give support to the advocates of :teriedio health examination.

"Personal invitations were sent from the Duke of York to the schools and firms concerned, and within a few days the hazardous adventure was hell under way As to what the camp sloes Mr. Hyde says: '011 the return of the industrial boys to one of the storm centres of the country they were asked to meet a croup of extremists, They said to the boys: 'We want to know all about that Camp. What lectures did you have?' "The boys, somewhat taken aback, replied: 'We had no lectures. " `Didn't thee talk to you about economics and things like that?' "'No,' said the boys, 'we bad no lectures at all. "'Then what did you do all day?' said their questioners. " 'We played and ate and bathed.' "This is all we do at Camp, and these boys found it as hard to describe its real significance as any other of us. "Camp, as we know it," adds Mr. Hyde, "is even more a will-o'-the-wisp than the 'Public School Spirit' The result has always been the sante, the London, -An important piece of ex- cavation will be started shortly when the ancient Roman city of Verulamium adjacent to St. Albans, is to be un- covered. At present the only Roman remains above ground are the walls, and it Is with these that a start will be made, It is expected that the excavation will have the additional interest of. throwing light on the history of, Ro- man London, for the walls of Veru lamium and of Loudon are of the same date, having been rebuilt by the Ro- mans after the destruction of both cities in the insurrection by the Bri- tish Queen Boudicca (Boadicea) in A.D. 61. Vp to the present it has not been possible accurately to date the Londou wall. Verulamium is believed to occupy the same site as the prehistoric' capi- tal of Cassivelaunus, the British King, which in all probability was older than Loudon, and it continued to be visitors have beea filled with`enthusl- asm for the experiment. "We have never attempted serious- ly to answer the questions, 'Do they mix?' and 'What are the results?' for Camp itself is the only reply. To analyze, tabulate, sift, investigate. would be too hideously artificial, and. would but land us on a elippery slope. When the analytical motive domin- ates, it is almost impossible to avoid the temptation to play for results. Every effort would be strained to pro- mote good fellowship, and Camp would simply develop into an orgy of :glad- handing.' "And so it has always proved; the Camp tells its own story:' Million Words About R-100 Montreal -It took nearly a million words to tell the world at targe of the arrival of the R-100, Officials of the telegraph and cable companies estimated that since July 31st until noon Aug- 2nd, somewhere in the vicinity of 950,000 words sent out from the typewriters and pencils et the army of newspapermen here to "cover" the history making event and the "story" was flashed to weary civilized country in the world. Telegraph operators worked all night under driving pressure and cables to the Old World were also kept hamming with the news seut out by some 200 newspapermen and eyndt cat0 writers. Length of R-100 is 700 Feet A strange little error regarding the length of the British dirigible 12-100 came to light recently. Newspaper and other reports have constantly given the ship's length at 709 feet. This is not so, the Cana- dian Press learned. The R -100's tail was a trifle too long when she was first constructed, and nine feet were amputated. This makes the ship's overall•length exactly 700 feet.

How Good Are Good Used Cas? Speed, Power, Safety and Ap- pearance O.K.-Brakes Vary Precisely how good are these "good used cars?" Thousands of potential buyers of such automobiles are asking this ques- tion constantly. The answers they re- ceive are couchedingeneral terms, in most instances at least. It was with a view toward develop- ing some specific information that a qualified group recently undertook the actual testing of a number of used I cars selected at random from the stock of several dealers. Cars in 'sir-; tually all price classes were tested-; In no case was the dealer from whom l the car was borrowed for test purposes informed in advance. In all except one case the car was in the identical; condition it would have been had some average buyer walked in and P.d for iG Characteristics considered included appearance, brake performance, speed, power, acceleration, noise, wear in various parts, especially the steering, fuel consumption. Methods of mea- surement were not the most exacting possible, but in each case the results are approximately accurate. Car number oue was a 1926 model roadster of a line in the popular price class. As a used cal it was priced at $75. In appearance the car was only fair. The lacquer had chalked at the back of the hood and the wheels need- ed painting. In performance the car was surprising. As against a top speed of 48 miles an hour when new it still would travel at 43. The 23;000 miles on its speedometer had not ef- fected the hill climbing ability for which the car always had a good repu- tation. Never particularly fast in high gear acceleration, the can nevertheless could get away with most modern cars at traffic lights going through all the gears. Its two -wheel brakes would stop it from 20 miles an hour within 40 feet, 10 feet under the legal limit. The emergency brake, however, need- ed service attention. At pertain engine speeds there were two rather annoying noises due to vi- bratioa. One of these was in the steer- ing wheel, the other in the valance above the running board from which it had separated. The latter could easily have been eliminated, at least temporarily; the former disappeared except at one spot in thespeedrange. A slight play in the steering, which was not, dangerous, was due to king pin bushing wear, The second car, also a 1926 model, the test group put down as one of the finest bargains of the lot. It cost $1,350 originally. It was offered at the bargain price of $225. The speed- ometer showed 26,377 miles. The car was a roadster, with rum- ble seat. Its two tone ;tan finish was virtually perfect. The khaki top, how- ever, was discolored, and the fenders which had been enamelled obviously needed it again. These two appear- ance defects remedied, the car would have been a beauty. Its lines, though Motive Power "The intestitial glands control other glands. More than that, they supply Motive power to the anind apd body. Therefore, when thte have become useless, .their stimulant secretions cease to Row into the arteries and the obsolete, always were popular. As to performance, the car still was capable of more than 60 miles an hour. On hills, its over -head valve engine was a marvel. In acceleration, it went for 5 to 25 miles an hour in top gear In 9 4-5 seconds. Its four-wheel brakes stopped it from 20 miles an hour 1n 31 feet. This, too, despite the fact that the brakes required equalizing. Although the top being down during the actual test ,may partially account for it, there was absolutely no noise in the car save a slight valve sound. The big six -cylinder engine gave 13 miles to the gallon of gasoline. The dealer of the water-numn of the car moral effects of increasing age march on."

The chief cost, he said, was the purchase of the animal from which the neces- sary gland was obtained. Long Life Assured "I do not know," he said in'conclu- sion, whether grafting will enable us to prolong life beyond the limits as- signed to man by nature, but I am certain that it will enable us to reach these limits. Every year, in every country, the death is recorded of peo- ple who have reached .the age of 100 and over. Those of us who die earlier at 70 and 80, do so, not because we have exhausted 'all the normal post- bilities of lite, but because we have become old and feeble and unable to combat with the illness or illnesses which cause our death. "Old age leads tto death. By aug- menting our vital energy when we be- gin to lose it, we increase our chances of lite and acquire the possibilities of living at least the number of years to which man has right. To be• strong and vigorous is the secret of life; to be weak and feeble is the cause of death. The graft of a gland taken from a young monkey in perfect health infuses new energy ,into our, bodies at the commencement of old' age and will henceforth enable us' to extend the possibilities of life to the extreme. limit -130 to 140 years.'
