Centenarians Tell Of
Their Methods; Life j
is Extended
v -
(By The Associated Press.)
NEW YORK. N. Y.. April 28—"The
secret of long life that 400 years ago
eluded Ponce de Leon today lies in
every- man’s grasp say authorities.
rive thousand centenarians now liv-
ing in America could point out his
mistake to Ponce de Leon who died a
broken old man because 'he would ac-
cept no substitutes for the fancied
fountain of youth.
Better habits of lif». they testify
and modem science to say nothing of
the stimulus of radio provide an nm-
y|e substitute for the revivifying
waters.
The lengthening of the" Average life
ipan. to which the four centuries
since Ponce de Leon have added 37
years and the increase In the num-
ber of those who escape death up to
the age of 100 indicate say longev-
ity experts that man may again
achieve the healthy ofcl .yge of \|osc«
who was 120 when he died; “and his
eye was not dim nor was his force
- abated.” *y
Recipes of 28 centenarians living in
or near New York include:
Hard work and lots of i/t.
Always take things easy*.
No smoking and drinking.
Three teaspoonfuls of win*key each |
morning and night.
Working fishing and nfltofling own
business.
Takikn a lively interest in other
people. ‘
Not wearing shoes.
Cultivating n soothing piety.
uW'bile some exports stress hered-
ity as the main factor in longevity
more individuals are being ffevcloned
who will he the parents of centenari-
ans of the future says Dr. Haven
Emerson of Columilia university.
“Thirty years ago 1 *aw »ne per-
son of a hundred years where I see
three today’’ said Dr. Frederick L.
Hoffman of the Prudential Life In-
surance company.
“Fifty years ago 2S> was the prime
of life for a man. and fifty was old.
Today 40 is the prime and there are
numbers of virile men of 70 and 80;
then women were old at 40. Today

WOMAN JUDGE
— - 'T — ~ -— — -
Judge Florence Allen
(By Central Press.!
CLEVELAND Ohio. April 2S.—The
first woman to become a judge of the
Ohio supreme court Florence Fllin-
wood Allen is notv a candidate for
the United States senate. She hopes
to nccuny the scat notv held by Sena-
tor Frank B. Willis.
Judge Allen has already started
her attack on Willis although she
has yet to win the nomination in the
Democratic primaries.
She is expected to poll a large
women’s vote throughout Ohio. Lead-
ers in Cleveland predict she will
carry that district overwhelmingly
because of her record as a eoitfmon
pleas judge here before she went to
Ihe supreme court bench.
Her big issue is most likely to he
outlawry of war. Voth she and Willis
are in favor of the World Court hut
the judge says they differ widely on
the war question.
If Judge Allen succeeds in winning
the primary fight *ne will probably
make a campaign issue of war out-
lawry and will also censure Senator
Willis for his support of former At-
torney (Icneral nrry M. Dougherty
and* Truman If. Newberry of Michi-
gan.
She vill not resign from the bench
to conduct her campaign contending
that no constitutional provision pro-
1 ibits her from holding the one of-
ficii vhile running for another. How-
ever. her manager. Miss Susan teb^
Kan says Judge Allen will net fill*
her declaration until June when the
court recesses for several months.
;nrd horn at 50 and 00.
"The main reason is that people
they marry at 30 and 40. and children
are leading more rational lives; a
healthy leanness has replaced the
old ideal of fat and 40. Hard work
of an intermittent and congenial
kind is appreciated as a secret of
longevity.”
“There is no reason why the con-
quest of the causes of death should
rot go on” Dr. Fiugone Lyman
F'iske of the Life Exension Institute.
"I don’t know of any limit to the
life span. There is no underlying
complete necessary reason for death:
death is always caused by poison in-
jury or the failing of a substance
necessary to life.”

Brady Meets Its Paving |
Problem with Concrete j
Brady the County Seat of McCul-
loch County worried along for awhile
with dusty bumpy streets in the busi-
ness district. But one day some of its
business men stopped to figure what
unpaved streets were costing them.
They found it would be a profitable
investment to pave the public square
—and pave it right. They demanded
a pavement that would stand present
traffic yet not require costly mainte-
nance. The problem was solved by
selecting Portland cement concrete.
The concrete mixer had been run-
ning only a few days when extensions
were made to the initial project. Now
Brady has 26000 square yards of con-
crete paving; and like other Texas cit-
ies they will not be willing to stop un-
til all the main streets are permanently
paved.
How about the Public Square or
Main Street in your town? You can
have a pavement that is rigid unyield-
ing skidproof—one that will carry any
kind of traffic indefinitely practically
without repairs. Concrete paving has
these qualities. These are but a few of
many reasons for its rapidly growing
popularity.

Streets " Ask for your copy.
