It's nice to-see some one wh<
can look back almost to the fivi
War Between the States and b<
happy about it all?or nearly al
of it. Bernard Baruch can. I noticef
on talking to hint. He just turner
83 the other day, and a lot of u<
wish we would be half so spry and
cheerful at that aga. Barney, as he
is called with real affection, ha;
reached not only a ripe but rich
old age. He has one of the large
fortunes of this country?or did
have, before he started giving it
awav.

In the year 1870, he was born In
Can den, South Carolina, the son
of a poor doctor. He went to col
lege then straight to Wall St feet
and made money. How? Speculat
ing, Barney quickly replied. He's
not ashamed of it. "The word
comes from the Latin 'specular!',
which means to observe," he ex
plained. "I observe." He went to
his father,-told him he was 30 years
old, and had made a million dollars.
"Yes, my son," replied the father
whose memory Barney reveres very
much, "but what good are you go
ing to do with it?" The answer of
the son was, in the years to come,
to give away millions for medical
research. education, charity and
slum-clearance.

Came World War I and Bernard
Baruch was a financial titan, able
to reorganize large industries and
commercial enterprises. President
Woodrow Wilson turned to him,
put him hi/charge of the nation's
i industry and he did a marvelous
1 job. Wilson nicknamed him "Doc
? tor Facta". Since then. Baruch ha?
1 been adviser to Harding. Coolldge
! Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman and
I Eisenhower. Yet no one seems to
> know just what his advice has
1 been, you ask Barney what he told
' those Presidents, and he just gives
i you his nice smile. But truly, his
is a ease of "Show me a man who
1 is diligent in his ways, and he shall
stand before kings."
:?s?
In the thirties, he sat on a park
bench across from the White House
and worried about how low were
our armefl forces. Offered to give
three millions of his own money
to build up a modern army. He
foresaw World War II more than
most people. After that conflict.
Barney headed a commission to put
atomic energy under international
control, but the Russians turned
down his plan. Today they are
turning to it, at least to some ex
tent. Hut that failure was a great
\>low for Barney. He says, V1 had
come to the end of my furrow."
This remark and that of Goverfior
Averill Harriman of New York
don't coincide however. Said the
governor recently, "Bernard Ba
ruch will be fittingly honored by
the whole world for his dedicated
efTorts as a humanitarian and for
his leadership in behalf of world
peace.''

In chatting with him, looking at
those twinkling eyes, even his car
phone, and hearing his genial
words of wisdom, I got the feeling
Bernard Baruch would never ba
old. He modestly says old men
shouldn't talk so much, should let
young men take over the tasks,
even if they do make mistakes, but
T notice when we have a big war,
even our head men run fast to him
for helpful advice?and this un
doubtedly is a good thing. He
feels that if a man has good par
ents?he says he had the Hnest?
keeps himself in good physical con
dition ^nd learns how to talk, to
speak publicly and sell himself, he
will succeed. In talking to Barney,
one has no doubt but that he has
mastered all these qualification'].

Once he learned a lesson from
an athlete. Barney used to work
out in a gymnasium on 28th Street,
along with other fellows who tried
to keep in shape. One afternoon he
was in the ring, boxing with a big
fellow who was almost twice his
size and strength. He landed sdme

Good Vacuum Cleaner
Deserves Best Storage ?

good vacuum cleaner deserves best

be stored In a well-organized, easy
to-get-to cleaning equipment closet,

how the latter stuck with him and
after awhile beat him down until
the big one didn't want any more.
Just then somebody tapped Bar
ney on the shoulder. It was Bob
Fitzsimmons, heavyweight cham
pion of the world. "You're a
champ, boy,-' he said to Barney.
"Keep after a man. You can never
tell when the other fellow's worse
off than you are."
If it is stored in a cramped closet
In the basement, attic, or utilitj
room, it probably won't be use
often enough because extra time
and work are required to use it.
The homemaker should keep the
vacuum cleaner, its attachment
and all cleaning supplies togethei
in a compact storage unit.

Do you resent neTng called a
teen-ager? Some young people do.
Others don't mind a smidgen.
If you could substitute a label
of your own what would it be?
Many young people fret over
the teen-age salutation because
they believe it is unpopular. Oth
ers do not like some of the "char
acters who are put in the "teen
age" category with them.
Take the opinion of one 17-year
old .. .
"The term teen-ager isn't real
ly bad. It's just that every jerk
below 20 is headlined as a teen
ager. These are the truants and
'roublemakers and they make the
"est of us suspects, too."
On the other hand one 17-year
ild girl takes this stand:
"Why should I worry what peo
ple call me?especially a general
classification. My own activities
"re above iTproacti. Adults don't
'?olate themselves from adulthood
?ust because other adults do ter
rible things."
If one is celebrating a 13th birth
day. obviously one is looking for
ward to life-to-be in the teen
?"orld. Before that she is in the
?Vid" category.
But at what age does one begin
*n quibble at the idea of the teen
age classification? And why?
