J., is cheerful on the occasion of tho one hundred seventh anniversary of his birth. He says: “ A hundred years and yet a. hundred more added to my life would not be enough, because the longer I live the better the world becomes, and the easier it becomes to liv e .” • And, of course, like all persons who get through the first hundred years, he has a formula fpr longe vity.

Hat any kind of meat at least once a day. Smoke and drink when you pleiase. D is regard all negative suggestions giveu by friends and relatives. D on’t stop working. And ig, after keeping all-these rules, you can still enjoy all the modern vices, do so .” * We have alw ays been told it is the first hun dred years that are the hardest; but, if like Bier, we can get through them by m aking no more sacrifices than he made, we sliqll be very happy that we have lived that time and w ill prescribe to his statement that this is a pretty, good world after all. Sound Statement on Timber In discussing the subject of our. future timber supply, Prank G. Wisner, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers’ association, in a recent article in the N ation’s Business, says that the for ests, nature’s timber factories, are the greatest production organisation in the world, and that with care and propagation our timber supply w ill be in- exhaustible and adequate for all proper uses. Mr. Wisner says that as legitim ate substitutes for wood are found, they will be generally adopted, but that npw uses for wood w ill arise just as in the case of building with concrete which replaces Wood en structures. “ So protean is the suitablity o f wood for hu man uses that despite all the synthetic materials, its uses have increased from 2000 in numbr ten years ago to 4500 today. Rot and fire are the chief enemies of wood. Preservative chemical processes have already multiplied the lives of ties, posts and poles by three or more. Incombustible paints and impregnations have made a start in opposition to fire, but a great field is here. This is something the chemists can do today, now. To make wood slow- burning and eliminate the fire hazard w ill confer a social servioe of universal benefit.” Labor Sanity Stabilizes Nation During the boom times of 1920, an average of 8.4 per cent of all the factory employes of the United States voluntarily quit their jobs. The year before, 5.8 per cent of the workers threw up their jobs. In the panic year 1921, only 2.225 per cent, or one-quarter as large a percentage as in the boom year, voluntarily gave up their places. The percent age increased in 1922 and 1923, to fall again to 2.68 l»er cent in 1924, and then up to 3.1 per cent in 1925. Jn general, the factory turnover is in direct ratio to the general prosperity. When factories are short of help, so that any newcomer can pick up a job, the percentage of voluntary quits instantly rises. The increasing purchase of industrial securities by employes is tending to cut down the turnover in the lowest grades of unskilled labor. Stock bonuses and rewards for continuing employment are making it easier for men to settle into an effective partner ship in almost any industry. The better times appeal to the itching feet of many low-grade workers; to a liercentagc that nothing but starvation and misery would reduce, tho never eliminate. Thgt this per centage can grow so slowly and to so negligible a proportion of the nation’s workers, even when prosperity is so marked as it is today, is splendid proof that the nation is basically sound. Teach Sanctity of Life School children inspection of fire liaxRrds is credited with saving Kansas City a million dollars in needless fires, within the past five years. The children are trained in the school« to note and to eliminate fire risks; and they are encouraged to make their city safe front fire by jtointing out or abating these proven hazards. i Every needless fire is that much wanton dvstruo 'tion of the life work of those who built the prop erty, whatever it is. From this standpoint, every fire is a public calamity, uven a crime. To teach Jhe children to abate fires is to teach them the «anctity of life. »»«»*«*»«» >» Tha sdeptist who can start Ufa in tha saa urobip could find plenty p t Jobs on land- For one thing, ha pilgk be made editor of the Gongraa- sional Record.
