'Count Okuma contends that a man should be able to live, under proper conditions for at least 125 years. and 'has announced his to that age. The society has about 500 mem- bers, the majority of them residents in Tokio, though the eldest of them, | a womair named Nam! Shimuka, ag- ed 113, invariable travels 'all the way from the Yamaguchi prefecture to the capital to attend the 1tri- monthly meetings. These are usually held at Cdunt Okuma's metropolitan residence,and the conversation on these occasions turns largely on problems of diet, on the most efficacious means. of warding off the infirmities of age, the eyesight, the hearing and last, | but not least, the necessity of teeth not only for purposes' of mastiea- tion but likewise for distinct enun- clation., " There 1s a general Imprassion that in Japan, where both boys and girly mature so early. mothers of 14 be- ing the rule rather than the excen- tion, the people ag prematurelys, from a western SAL oF view, and that they are quite old by the time they reach 40. . Count Okuma's Soclety of Octo genarians and Centenarlans, and its membership of 500 seems to dis- prove this fdea, and to demonstrate' |' that both men and women are just as apt to attaif the years of the Psalmist as Americans and Euro- Deans, A remarkable feature of this so- ciety 1s the wonderful mental ang physical vigor of those belonging thereto. Many of them Migpense with spectacles. Most of them come on foot to the meetings of Count Okuma's house, after from siderable distance.

Winston Churchill even = went ' further in this approval by presiding | at Commander Evans' first lecjure in England at Albert hall, when a new record was made in England both for the largest lecture audience, and also for the largest receipts--in it- self a gratifying reward for a man who has spent the hest twelve years of his life south of the Antarctic cir- | cle. Commander Evans' lecture | here will be about the last that he will make, for he is on his return! from the Pacific coast. Everywhere | the greaest honors have been paid! him, We can only trust that when! he comes here, he will receive the! same welcome as has awaited him elsewhere.

Mrs, Stokley, while despondent, one day last week, tried to kill herseli with a shotgun. The charge carried away her chin, part of the lower jaw and several of her teeth. Recovering consciousness in the Burlington county hospital, the wo- man expressed a desire to live and the doctors are planning to give her the artificial substitutes for tHE features the lost and which will disfigure her for life.
