The prediction made by local labor

strike its first blow at the corporation
through taking a hand in the strike of
the tinplate workers at Aetna Standard

borne out when Gompers left Pittsburg

nearer when women make plain the use

P Philadelphia, Dec. 11. "Keep In touch
with life, to read th newspapers and
magazine, to maintain an Interest in
the topics and doings of th day," waa
the advice of the Rev. Dr. George W.
Babcock. pastor of Ebenexer MethodiBt
Episcopal church, Flfty-aecond and Par-
risli streets, to his congregation.
Taking as his theme "How to Grow
Old," Dr. Babcock addressed his re
marks principally to elder members.
"Some of tha advantages of oM
ha aaid, "are the benefit of eiDerlence
in medicine, law, business and religion.
Tn every church where there are a
number of the elderly persons they stand
as examples ror tn younger genera
tion. Old age ia also credited with the
advantage of past usefulness. In a lif
well spent old age is an honor.
lb order to grow old graceful lr. don't
dwell on th glories of th past but
stick to th present So long as th old
people keep In touch with the worlds
achievements flying machines and all
other developments of modern progress
their presence and association are ac
ceptable to all who know them."
