TELLS DOCTORS TO BAR SENILITY Old Age l ndeslrable I'nlrxs It In Worth Living Says Mayo. Davidson.—“The man of medicine today Is not only responsible for I making life longer, but is morally responsible for making old age worth living; he must help avoid senility or the result is but an ad i ded burden upon the community life in general, as the sick and n Jured hamper more than the dead." I said Dr, Charles Mayo, of the Mayo Brothers Clinic of Rochester, Minn., in an article which appeared in the i current issue of The Davidsonian, ’ student publication of Davidson college. ! This world-famed physician had prepared for The Davidsonian a dis sertation on “Medicine as a Life j Profession.” It has been written at the suggestion of M. C. O'Neal, ex ecutive secretary of the Y. M. C. A. here. This organization is in the i midst of its third successive Voca tional Guidance Institute, and as an added feature to the advisers ; and speakers brought, to the college, leaders of the different professions Will contribute articles each week. Dr. Mayo wrote that in the 1 century the average life of a human being was only 20 years, that in 1850 it was lengthened tc 40 years, but that now it was 58 years, due | to an appreciation of the causes of 1 disease, and preventive medicines which had been used in public health control. He went on to ex | plain that It was the death of babies and children that previously held the average so low. I The Minnesota physician did not picture the Held of medicine as rosy, in so far as actual work was ccxn | cerned for he told the students that the study of medicine was arduous. | This was offset by its wonderful ac eompllshments and its wrled inter lests, he said. "If you can forget its rewards, in the worry over whether you are doing what Is expected of | you and what is best, and strive to do it, rewards will come until you wonder whether you really deserve them, and, being human, are stimu lated to greater effort.” he wrote. This partner of Mayo Brothers maintained that health was not necessary to happiness, but that liappness could be defined as "con genial wo with pleasant associa tions. In fact,” he wrote, "happi ness is a shUe of, mind, and it riiay often be found in the insane as visions of rrandeur. Hanpiness may vantage r i then may be found in doing good to others. To an ex traordinary extent, happiness is cultivated by the unfortunate blind,” he said in closing. Lattimore Girls Defeat B. S. Gi.ls Score W-s Close With Only Seven Points To St are.

From Sport Page To “Front Page” Max Gardner Career Recited By Charlotte Sport Writer In Series. (Editor's Note: The following ar ticle is the first of a series, “Sport Page to Front Page," being writ ten abo.it prominent North Caro lina men by Edward V. Mitchell, ! sports editor of The Charlotte News.) Ask any of the old timers in sports, who was the outstanding football plujer of the early part of | the twentieth century, in North Carolina, and they will tell you | Max Gardner hefty lineman of North Carolina State college and the University of North Carolina. Today, the Max Gardner of yes- ! ter-year is the governor of North | Carolina having taken over the j reins of the highest office in the state last month, realizing a life-; time ambition, which he reached at the age of 46 years. Max Gardner is the 85 th governor the state of | North Carolina has had, and the office came to him ns a reward for valiant fervice rendered the people of his state, a service which his many friends feel will be continued, j This is the first of a series of ar ticles on “Prom Sports Page to Front Page,” and it is fitting that the governor of North Carolina should be the first subject. Max Gardner played football when he j went to college. but he also did greater things, and his success to day Is attributed by him to the | educational advantages of the state of North Carolina, Speaking purely irom a sianu point or sports, Max Gardner dur- | lng Ills college days was what is termed a "tramp athlete" today, lie played on the football teams of two Institutions, within a space of three years, being a member of the State college eleven In 1902 and the uni versity team three years later, the fall of 1905 finding him at Chapel Hill. Governor Gardner can look back upon his athletic career with the satisfaction of having brought about a deadlock between the foot ball teams of the two leading in stitutions of the state. In 1902, Max Gardner led the North Carolina ag ricultural and mechanical school team against the University of North Carolina, and the game, which was played at Raleigh, re sulted In a scoreless tie. j Athletic^ records of the two schools fail to record the name of Max Gardner in 1903 and 1904. but in 1905 he played for the Univer sity of North Carolina football ! team, and the Chapel Hill boys battled State with, the “Aggies" former captain playing against them. This contest also turned out to be a scoreless tie. Thus, the present governor of the state has the distinction of being a friend to both institutions, and neither can claim that he took a partisanship ! attitude, for his athletic ability didn't bring sorrow to either insti tution. on the contrary the gover nor's efforts on the gridiron brought fame to both schools, for In 1902 and 1905 the hame. Max Gardner, was on the tip of every tongue in the football world; Perhaps the older generation of sport fans would be interested in knowing the scores of State and Carolina, when Governor Gardner played football, so they follow: Carolina, 1905-—6, DnVtdson, 0; 0. Penn.. 17; 0. V. P. I., 5; 6, Georgetown, 0; 0, State, 0; 17, V. M. 1„ 0; 17, Virginia. 0. I State, 1902—6, Clemson. 10; 0. Furman, 0; 6, V. P. I„ 11; 10. St. Albans, 0; 29, Guilford, 5; O, Car olina, 0; 30, Richmond college, 5. Actual athletic competition of Max Gardner shows that he engag ed only in football, but he was In* ! terested in other branches of sports ; being manager of the State base ball team In the spring of 1902. Mr. Gardner took an active part in State politics early in life, being made state organiser of Deniocra l tic clubs by Josephus Daniels, who | in 1908 was national committeeman from North Carolina. Max Gard ner's first political office was in 1910 when he was made chairman of the Democratic party in Cleve land cm nty. The following year he was elected state senator from the I second district, and was re-elected 'senator in 1915; being chosen, un animously, president pro tem of that body the same year. He was unanimous choice for it. Lieutenant ! governor in 1916, and served four ! years. Mr. Gardner was defeated | tor governor in 1920, losing In a three-cornered race between him self, Cameron Morrison, and Rob ert N. Page, Mr. Morrison being elected The career of O. Max Gardner has been one of service not only to his state, but also to Shelby and Cleveland county, for Governor Gardner still maintains business inti rests in Shelby and Cleveland . county and much of the prosperity of tnat section can be attributed to the effeats of O. Max Gardner, who rose from obscurity to the highest j position that the state of North j Carolina can place In the hands of one of its illustrious sons.

Kinston.--Wayne A. Mitchell, mayor of Kinston, today gave a county negro preacher credit for | the newest explanation of that Red Sea incident in which “Pharaoh's army got drown-ed.” in an illuminating discourse over- ' heard by Mitchell the brother de clared: “Why wuz Moses and his flock saved when they crossed over the water? Why wuz they? and j why wuz Pharoali and his army drown-ed? Why wuz they? “Why, becaze Moses was a smart feller. He got up early. He got his gang together and they crossed on the ice while the sea wuz still frozen over. They got started before day break and they hustled. "Pharaoh slept and slept. He wait ed until the sun was up and the ice was half melted before ha called his soldiers and said to them, ‘Come on and let’s go chase them Jews.’ “Pharaoh’s army got to the mid dle of the Red Sea and hit a thin place in the ice and all hajids got drowned. H’it's as plain as the nose on your face.” White persons In the congrega tion called the minister aside after the service and asked him why there should have been Ice in the Red Sea. “It is almost on the equator,", they reminded him. “Laws, folks, there wan't no f equators in them days,” he count- j ered blandly.

From The Springfield Union. Horseshoe pitching, or "barnyard golf" as it is called, has imparted new life to blacksmithlng in some parts of the country, where the game is attaining a wide vogue. The laying out of horseshoe pitch ing courts in five city parks in At lanta, Ga., has caused a great de mand for pitching sets in that city and the only surviving smithy is swamped with orders. So the dam age done to a time-honored industry by the advent of the automobile is likely to be in some measure re paired by the sudden urban inter est in an old bucolic sport. Roberts In Miami.
