LONDON. — Britons solved the
problem of what to do with old razor
blades 3,000 years ago—they threw

Seven types of bronze razors, dat-

Christ, have been found in the
Thames river. They resemble mod-
ern straight-edge razors.

Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Price spent

Ever now and then one of our
members of whom I am very fond
says to me, “Remember, you aren’t
as young as you used to be,” and,
while I don’t for one minute believe
him, just hearing it has a sobering ef-
fect and when the next mirror gets in
front of me I am amazed at the ap-
parent veracity of his words.
Often we hear people say, “I wish I
were younger,” or “I wish I had my
life to live over,” but you would not
be you if you were younger and, of
course, if you had your life to live
again it would not be the same.
I wouldn’t be younger, not even one
year, if I could —and that isn’t sour
grapes either! If I’d been born in
1889 instead of 1888 I’d have had an
entirely different environment. My
childhood would have been different;
I’d have started to school a year latei-
and never through school would I
have had the same classmates, the
same teachers, the same friends and
my family life would have been dif-
ferent. My associations through life
would have been with another set of
people. Every experience in life
would have been different; I’d have
been a completely different person.
After thinking it over, now would
you like to change your birth date
and likewise your entire life? If
anyone invited me to—yea, I’d like to
live forever, but definitely I don’t
want to be younger. Youth, unlike
beauty, is more than skin-deep for,
as Samuel Fritsch said:
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
Age is a quality of mind—
If you have left your dreams behind;
if hope is cold;
If you no longer look ahead; if your
ambition fires are dead,

I bought a large quantity of fine Half and Half
seed last fall direct from Mr. Summerour. These
seed cost me $150.00 per ton. They were ginned
from cotton that made more than a bale per acre and
as high as 50 percent lint at cotton gin. This is the
most profitable cotton a farmer can grow and these
are the finest seed that money will buy. See me for
your requirements soon.
WASHINGTON. — Congress heard
Monday about a bigamist who had to
cash his defense bonds every 60 days
“to save my life.”
The story turned up with the re-
lease of hearings by the committee
on the budget of the Treasury De-
partment’s savings bond division.
Robert W. Coyne, unpaid business
man consultant to the division, said
he ran into the case while conducting
a check in an eastern city into why
people were cashing their bonds.
He said one man, after exacting a
promise that his name would never
be disclosed, told investigators:
“The fact is, gentlemen, I am mar-
ried to two women. I buys the bonds
and I gives them to my first wife and
after 60 days I sneak them away and
cashes them and gives the money to
my second wife. So you see the box
I am in. That is why I cashes bonds.”
Coyne said he hadn’t followed
through in the man’s subsequent fi-
nancial jugglings. He added, how-
ever:
“It is my impression that it may
have saved his life, but not for long.”

NEW YORK. — You can let the
children play with dogs, cats or other
pets without worrying about their
getting polio from the pets.
Reassurance on this question,
which worries many parents, comes
from the National Foundation for In-
fantile Paralysis.
For many years scientists have
tried to find out if people can catch
polio from animals, but up to the
present time their answer is “no.”
While scientists working with March
of Dimes support continue their
search for possible animal or insect
carriers, they believe that polio is
more likely to be spread by close per-
son-to-person contact of the kind that
occurs in a household.
Unlike Human Ailment
Certain animals do suffer from
paralyzing diseases that resemble hu-
man polio. Chickens get “range par-
aylsis.” “Limberneck” is another
paralyzing sickness that occurs in
poultry. Dogs occasionally have
“running fits” which may leave them
with paralyzed legs. But a careful
study of all these animal diseases
■ have shown they bear no relationship
to human polio.
The disease naturally affects hu-
mans only. Man is not endangered
by his pets.
Man’s primary role in the trans-
mission of polo was underscored by a
severe epidemic that struck an Eski-
