THE OBITUARY PAGE
Once I was talking with Kent
Cooper about what Interests people
In the newspapers.
He said: "When a man gets to
be about forty-five years old he dis
covers the obituary page."
I certainly am not a gloomy mind
ed person, but I have always
thought more or less about death.
The attitude of a large portion of
the human race toward it seems to
me to be Infantile and silly.
It Isn't a pleasant subject but
certainly it is an inevitable one.
Why dodge and pretend and act
like children? Said Caesar:
"Of all the wonders that I yet
have heard,
It seems to me most strange that
men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary
end,
Will come when it will come."
All of which leads me to remark
that there is a certain advantage
in discovering the obituary page
comparatively early in life. The
tragedy is that some men never
discover it.
I have seen a doddering old mil
lionaire, with one foot in the grave,
fighting with a taxi-man over a
nickel, or trying to beat down the
price of a neck-tie.
I once sought a contribution to
charity from a millionaire who was
well over sixty and notoriously
tight. He told all the reasons why
he couldn't give up a cent, and as
he warmed up to the subject he be
gan to act as if my call were an
insult.
Finally I said: "Why are you so
mean? Why do you deny yourself
pleasures and squeeze every nickel,
It isn't your money; it's your chil
dren's money, or will be in a few
years. Why let them have all the
pleasures? Why not have the fun
of giving some of It away?"
This rude remark shocked him.
I think It started a line of thought
that made quite a change in his
life.
Moses prayed: "So teach us to
number our days that we may ap
ply our hearts unto wisdom."
I assume" that to mean that,
when we get along toward middle
life and note by the paper that men
of our own age, or a few years old
er are dropping off, we ought to
stop and take stock.
We ought to say: "As life goes
I have maybe ten, fifteen or, at
the most, thirty years. Therefore,
I ought to quit thinking How
much money can I pile up? and be
gin thinking How can I be sure
to do all the things I want to do,
see all the places I want to see, and
leave behind me a reputation for
having been a reasonably good and
generous Individual?"
It would help if the papers would
print at the top of the obituary
page every day this quotation from
Rousseau :
"The dead take to the grave in
their clutched fingers, only that
which they have given away."
THINGS
I know a young man who had a
good job up to a few months ago.
He spent money liberally while he
had it, but was always unhappy.
Now he is earning barely enough
to pay the rent of a cheap room
and provide a couple of modest
meals a day, and he is happier, he
tells me, than when he had plenty.
"I haven't so many THINGS to
worry about," he said. "I've more
time to think, to read, to listen to
music, to look at pictures; and I've
come to the conclusion that the
principal trouble of most people in
these days is that they've never
learned to get along without
THINGS."
I think my young friend is right
Things are of value only as they
are useful to people, but too much
use of things makes us dependent
upon them; we become slaves of
the machine. We give so much
thought to many things which are
after all only toys or means of grat
ifying our vanity, that we don't
have time left for the enduring val
ues that come from thought and re
flection. ALICE
Mrs. Alice Diddell Hargreaves, 80
years old, the original little Alice
fnr vhnm T.pw1h Carroll wrote "Al
ice In Wonderland" seventy years
ago, round jncw xotk. so iopsy-iur
vv. measured bv her Enellsh stand
ards, that it reminded her of the
mythical adventures of her fictional
namesake.
Next to writing a book that lives
forever, there must be a great sat
isfaction in having inspired it. "Al
ice in Wonderland" and "Through
the Looking Glass" have delighted
generations of children and their
elders as well.
The Reverend Charles Lutwidge
Dodgson, who wrote these books
under the name of "Lewis Carroll,"
was a great mathematician and
student. He wrote ponderous tomes
that nobody but a mathematician
can understand and that everybody
has forgotten. But as long as hu
man nature remains what it is, as
it has remained from the beginning
of time, "Alice" and her adventures
will be read.
It seems to me that giving the
world enduring enjoyment is a
greater achievement than solving
the most profound problem in
mathematics.
LAUNDRIES
A friend showed me the other
day a list of thirty-seven different
chemicals which are used in the
laundry and dry-cleaning industry.
After looking over the list, which
ran from acetic acid to zinc, I be
gan to understand why my collars
come back with saw-edges and my
shirts full of holes!
Another friend showed me a new
machine for dry-cleaning which he
believes will revolutionize that in
dustry. It uses no gasoline or oth
er Inflammable material, so it can
be installed anywhere, and it will
clean a suit of clothes in fifteen
minutes. In London, he told me,
where he found this machine, you
can drop into a shop, sit in a closed
booth while your suit is being clean
ed and pressed, and get out in twen
ty minutes at a cost of two shillings
sixpence ("half a crown') with a
fresh, new-looking suit
Considering that cleanliness
quite a modern idea and soap one
of humanity s most recent inven
tions, it is amazing to regard the
amount of money we spend to keep
ourselves and our garments clean
and it is not at all surprising that
we are still careless about smoking
chimneys and street dirt and other
things which run up our laundry
bills.
BOOTH
I saw a letter the other day from
Ballington Booth, head of the Vol
unteers of America; telling of the
strain under which the people' of his
organization are laboring to help
the out-of-work and distressed. The
same day I passed by the national
headquarters of the Salvation Ar
my, where his sister, Evangeline
Booth, is leading In the same sort
of unselfish effort to help the down-and-out.
It struck me, as it has
struck me many times, that the
nearest that any great body of peo
ple In this country come to living
up to the teaching of Christ, the
teaching of selflessness and the
helping hand, is found In those two
great organizations.
And to me it is something to
think about that the leaders who
are carrying on this work are the
son and daughter of a Jew. Gen
eral" William Booth, founder of
the Salvation . Army, who started
life as a pawnbroker's apprentice.
It has always been the case that
great men and women rise from
the crowd by the force of their own
courage and belief in themselves.
And what makes them great is
their ability to lead the crowd to
higher aims and loftier purposes.
CHICAGO
My Chicago friends are getting
enthusiastic over the World's Fair
they are going to have next year.
They call it the "Century of Prog
ress Exposition," and from what
George King and others tell me it's
going to be worth anybody's time
to visit it. One interesting feature
will be a group of Lincoln build
ings, duplicating the Kentucky log
cabin in which Lincoln was born,
the Indiana cabin in which he spent
his boyhood, the store in which he
was a partner at New Salem, 111.,
the Rutledge Tavern where his
boyhood sweetheart, Ann Rutledge
lived, and the "Wigwam" in which
he was first nominated for the
Presidency.
I always enjoy visiting Chicago,
whether there's celebration going
on or not. It is the most typically
American city we have. I get the
impression always that Chicago
may not know where she's going
but she's surely going somewhere.
I don't think any American's educa
tion can be considered complete
without a visit in Chicago long
enough to get the spirit of the
place.
Next year will be the biggest year
for Chicago since 1893, and every
body who can ought to plan now
to go there then.

The 1932 Chautauqua is strictly
an up-to-the-minute affair. Two
plays will be given, one of them
coming on the first night
The unusual title "Always Tell
Your Husband" suggests the theme
of the play, which concerns itself
with the misunderstandings be
tween a young wife and a young
husband.
; The husband Is a rising young
attorney so busy with his legal
practice that he can not take as
much time off for entertainment
'as his wife. She is lonely and can
not understand his failure to lead
a gay, social life. Consequently,
she seeks friendships and a good
time with others.
The plot of the play weaves in
and out through modern gangster
and racketeering activities and ex
poses some of the sinister ways
some of these undesirable elements
of modern life operate.
The liquor business, dope rings,
a brilliant attorney, a wisecrack
ing, modern, young flapper, the
temptations that beset young men
exposed to gang influence all
have their part in this great play
While there are many tense sit
uations throughout the play, there
are also plenty of humorous epis
odes and the atmosphere of the en
tire comedy u wholesome and con
structive. The cast is headed by
Robert Pollard and Cloone Marker
Pollard who have appeared repeat
edly under the Associated Chau
tauqua banner. Then there are
Keith Houdyshell, Opal (Pat)
Houdyshell anr' Lloyd Marr. This
cast in this modern play promise?
a great evening's entertainment.
