Philadelphia.—Dr. Charles Smith of
Egg Harbor, N. J., who says he cele
brated his one hundred and forty-fifth
birthday the other day, has decided to
i retire and take a rest.
• “When a man has worked as hard
as I have and is getting on in years,”
said Dr. Smith, “it's about time for
him to quit working tn d begin to en
joy him self.”
Doctor Smith’s assertion regarding
his age is supported by old residents
of Egg Harbor, some of whom are over
ninety.
Even the most skeptical
townsfolk admit he is well over one
hundred. When he became a resident
of Egg Harbor 25 years ago he asserted
he was one hundred and twenty.
Doctor Smith was keenly interested
in the world’s series, for he lived in
New York for many years.
He recently took up smoking. “My
father always told me that it was an
injurious practice and stunts the
growth,” he said. “I guess I have
reached my full stature by this time,
so I don’t suppose a couple of cigars
a day will hurt me.”
Doctor Smith says he w as born on
September 26. 1776, so he is about ten
weeks younger than the United States.
His grandfather, he says, lived to he
one hundred and twenty-four, and his
father was killed when he was quite
a young man. comparatively speaking,
at the age of seventy, by the falling
of a tree.

Rev. R. N. McKaig of Minne
apolis, Minn., recently received
a letter and $20 from a man
whom he had married 20 years
before. He had forgotten all
about the couple until he re
ceived the letter.
The letter said, that after 20
years of cruising on the sea of
matrimony, the writer found
that his w ife is more wonderful
than he ever dreamed she could
be. For this the writer was
thankful and therefore he sent
the preacher one dollar for each
year of his happily wedded life.

Overland Marcy Co,
2,397 of These Are Helping Ex-
Service Men Obtain Bene
fits U. S. Provides.
One field of Red Cross service alone,
that of assisting disabled veterans of
■ the World War, entails expenditures
$4 ,060,000 greater than the aggregate
receipts of the Annual Roll Call of
; 1920, the American Red Cross an
nounces in a statem ent urging a wide
spread increase in membership at the
Anfiual Roll Call, November 11 to 24.
At the present time National Head
quarters and the nation-wide chain of
Chapters of the Red Cross Is spend
ing approximately $10,000.000 annual
ly for the relief of disabled ex-service
men and their fam ilies, while the ag
gregate receipts from last year's Roll
Call were approximately $6,000,000.
It Is in the 2,289 of the 3,600 Red
Cross Chapters which still are helping
solve the veteran’s problem of adjust
ing him self to a normal civilian status
that the greater part of the cost of this
service is home. Of the total sum
spent for veterans’ relief last year,
National Headquarters expended a to-
tu! of more than $2,600.000, while the
remaining disbursement of approxi
m ately $7,000,000 represents the con
tribution of Chapters in this country
wide effort to assist the Government
in providing the aid sorely needed by
these men and their fam ilies.
An Ever Expanding Problem
That the problem of the disabled
service man is ever-expanding and
probably will not reach the peak be
fore 1925, Is the assertion of well-in
formed Government officials and that
2,397 Red Cross Chapters regard It
as their most Important work 16 evi
dence that the expansion is in nowise
confined tj> a particular section but Is,
•n the contrary, nation-wide. At the
end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1921,
there were 26,300 disabled service men
in the 1,692 United States Public
Health Service, Contract and Govern
ment H ospitals and Soldiers Homes,
and that number Is Increasing at a
hate of 1,000 a month.
Thousands of these men receiving
medical treatment, compensation and
vocational training from the Govern
ment today, started their efforts to
obtain them through the Red Cross
Chapter. The Chapter, acting as the
disabled man’s agent in claim s against
the Government, informs the man as to
the procedure necessary to gain for
him that which is provided him by
Federal statute. His applications for
compensation, medical treatment and
training are properly filed with the aid
of the Red Cross Chapter.

For ages crystal gazing has been a
recreation and pastime of so-called
psychics, and many marvelous t a l^
of what the ball revealed to them has
been told to more or less incredulous
clients. Few photographs to substan
tiate these crystal gazings have, how
ever, been made.
High up in the Canadian mountains
near Lake Louise, Alberta, one of
these huge crystal halls has been
erected for ornamental purposes, and
a cameraman was recently successful
in making this remarkable photograph
of the picture revealed in it. Strange
ly enough, the photographer and his
outfit are also shown in the fore
ground of the crystal ball picture. Now
do you believe in crystal gazing?

NO MORE “ FAKE” RAT TAILS
Paris Authorities Now Pay Hunters a
Bounty on the Heads of Destruc
tive Rodents Only.
Paris, France.—More than 579,114
rats have been killed in Paris since
the drive against them was started a
year ago. Bonuses have been paid at
the rate of a few centim es a
head.
The
first month of the
campaign the bonus was paid on
delivery by the rat hunter of the
tail of the animal, but a sewer clean
er became an expert In the manufac
ture of rat tails out of leather and
other material at the rate of several
hundreds a day, and since then the
bonus has been “per head” instead of
“per tall.”
Bandits Picked on Wrong Man.
Toledo.—Four amateur highwaymen
attempted to hold up Sergeant Rum
sey, of Toledo, a member of the New
York Central railroad police. They
were too slow’ on the draw and Rum
sey held them at the point of his
revolver until officers came and took
them to jail.

Red Cross Provides Friendly
Service of Many Kinds to

If there is delay before the man’s
claim is acted upon, the Red Cross
Chapter lends the man money to meet
the imperative needs of him self and
his dependents.
Most vital to the man’s gaining full
benefit from the Government's care is
keeping his mind free from worry about
Ids home. Keeping the veteran’s fam
ily from hardship of every kind and
I
Informing him of Its welfare is an
other province of the Chapter. Free
from fear on this score, the man’s re-
covery and advancement usually is
rapid.
Every month during the last year,
the American Red Cross has given
service of one kind or another to an
average of 129,215 former service men
and their families. An indication of
the extent of the faith reposed in the
Red Cross Chapter Is to he found In
the fact that there were 356,544 re
quests for friendly aid In the solution
of personal problems.

448 Workers In Hospitals
While the man prior to entering
Government care deals largely with the
Chapter, afterward he comes into con
tact with the service provided by Na
tional Headquarters. There are 448
Red Cross workers In the United
States Public Health Service and con
tract hospitals and other institutions
in which these men are being cared
for, whose duty Is to provide for his
recreation, help him with his compen
sation claims, keep him in touch with
his fa m ily ; in short, m eeting his every
need outside of that provided by the
Government. W hile these are a few
of the responsibilities of the National
Organization, they are by no means
all. Among other Red Cross accom
plishm ents for the year are:
It handled 70,732 allotment and al
lowance claims.
It delivered through its Chapter or
ganization 63,655 allotment checks tc
veterans who had moved from the ad
dresses furnished to the Bureau ol
War Risk Insurance.
It provided a special fund of $10.00C
for medical assistance to men nndei
vocational training.
It made 32,495 loans totaling $450,00C
to men taking vocational training, ol
which 85 per cent has been repaid.
