The old man probably had more intelligible and practical reasons, but, whatever his motive,. he is always con sidered as the stock illustration of the truth of the old adage "it is never too late to mend." Cato, however, will have to look to his laurels, or he may lose them to denizens of a country which was unknown to the Uoman world and did not come into the ken of the nations of Europe for several centuries after the rugged old censor was stopped by death from pleading, in season and out of season, for the destruction of .Carthage,. In n university of the West a woman of 72 is at the present moment enrolled as a student in a belated but earnest ef- fort to acquire that knowledge from which circumstances barred her at any earlier stage of her career, but even she is outdone by the undergraduate of 81 who is a candidate for the baccalaur eate in engineering at Kansas university and hopes to receive his jSheepskin next June.' It appears that this particular enthusiast is now resuming studies which he interrupted 50 years ago and even then he was of maturer age than is usually to be found in undergraduate ranks. His perseverance is certainly to be commended. . These two instances stand out prominently because of the peculiarities attending them, but, of course, the world is full of accomplishments wrought by men and women of advanced years. j Look at the average run of the ages of the great generals on each side in the recent war. Look at what the soptuagenarion llalfour did for his country in her hour of peril. Or take the case of Daniel Defoe, who was in his sixtieth year when he produced "Robinson Crusoe,' which has been a perennial delight to successive genera tions of readers for more than 200 years. . Similarly Richardson was more than 00 before he even thought of writing "Pamela" and thereby starting the modem novel on its checkered course. Verily the race is not always to the swift, nor do all the palms in vuriably go to the young. ' tit Asks the 1 mpossi jL IE ib!e A motion picture director is looking for the homliest girl in town and a nice fat purse is awaiting her when she is found. It will be interesting to observe the large crowds of aspirants who will assemble'outside his office. Generally when the word is pass ed around that an' opportunity' 1s awaiting some unknown in the world of films the street company has to put on extra cars to Hol lywood to handle the crush. Rut if this director has an applicant, it will be because feminine nature has. undergone a rapid change very recently. As if the requirement of ugliness were not sufficient, he(speci fies that the damsel should be at least 80 years of age or more. The idea of admitting to SO years is peculiarly repugnant lo any female person, but to none is it more abhorrent than those seek ing or having careers in the film. Every one knows that cinema queens are always 17 years old when they first achieve distinction. That is the favored age of lilnidoni, and the lady will unblushingly look you in the eye and recount her past experiences extending ever a protracted period of years and wind up with the mforamtion that she has "only but just" celebrated her seventeenth birthday. Sometimes those who have been public favorites for many years move up to 20, but never beyond this mark. University of Oregon Glee Club Meeting With Much1 Favor on Eastern Oregon Concert Journey.

The educational leaders of Ken tucky have no wish to "tench the young idea how to shoot" in this literal manner and their ban on the possession of lethal weapons is the direct result of a recent shootine; tragedy in which a student and a night watchman figured. Foreign commentators will not be justified in regarding the carrying of pistols by college students as a common custom in this country, for Kentuckians are especially prone to this habit, but they are warranted in criticizing this country for permitting any person who has the price to go about with these death-dealing implements. Oanting that the evil is more rife in Kentucky, the region of family feuds, and in a few other states than in the rest of the I'nion, the fact remains that this is about the only great civilized country wheie there is no general ollicial regulation of pistol-carrying. u y It is lather .surprising to find some opponents of the proposal to restrict the carrying of deadly weapons appealing to the federal constitution for support. They are citing the provision that "the right of the people to keep ami bear aims shall not be infringed." They do not quote the .significant pi reeding words, "A well reg ulated militia being lucessaiy lo the security of a free state," 'vhich explains the reason for the guarantee. It grants no right to the private individual to go about armed. In view of the fact that !'o por cent of the homicides in thi country are committed through the use of pistols, legislative ac tion in this matter cannot In? must longer delayed. Attention!
