Like Cicero, Messrs George Law-Ioand Maxwell Stewart, authors of the pamphlet I mentioned, stress the psychological problems of old age. (The pamphlet is issued by tire Public Affairs Committee, Inc., a educational organization, 22 East 38th St , New York City 20 cents ) Old age comes with a shock because we havent prepared for it. Maybe we are ready for the last day at the ofPce or at the work bench or when we sell the farm and move to the village or city, or in other wavs break a lifetimes routine. But we may have failed to rerog-nizthe need to feel important, a need which we must satisfy one way or another. Not in the sense that "important we have somebody kow-toto us, but necessary to somebody or some thing, some basiness, some undertaking, maybe not a big cog, but something that helps the wheels of life go round. non-profi- t, e these of pertinent paragraphs "When Yc u Grow Older" offer a perfect example of how modern science and experience confirm the verities expressed by poets and philosophets of the (ast It is still the habit of many critics to praise the stvle of Ciceros "Ie Senectute but to toss its message aside as wishful thinking. liven .Montaigne, who said franklv that reading the essav made one long to grow old." pessimistically limited what he considered a useful lifespan to a mere 50 years and thought it wrong to contem- plate further existence.

A combined shift of some 150 points. Even more. But there are alwavs a few who hang on, looking the Old Doc in the eye. One of these is Ted Williams of the Red Sox. There seems to be a vague idea around that Ted has taken a dip this season. Id like to take the same brand of dip. They have built up a defense against Williams that was supposed to wreck him. He may not be the annihilator of other seasons, but he is still up there challenging for the home-ru- n title in the A. L., the batting leadership and the honors. I would say that in an off year for so many stars, Ted Williams is doing a great job. Yofl'Ubt proud ot yoor strong, bosky children when you give them Scott's Emulsion every day!

Joe DiMaggio is still the top artist in baseball. A few of those w'ho starred last season are still delivering. One of these is Kiner of the Pirates, who led the National League in the home-ruroundup a year ago, and is likely to lead it again. Johnny Mize, always a power hitter, is still shooting his salvos. So is Hank Greenberg. But so far, 1947 has been featured by stars unknown a vear ago. One is Ewell Blackwell of the Reds, with a season in his pocket. Blackwell has been rated far above Feller and Newhouser with a weaker ball club. The tall and lanky one, the human No. 1 iron, has been the pitcher of the year. Another leading star is Harry Walker of the Phillies. Eddie Dyer, one of baseballs smartest, traded him to the Phillies in exchange for Ron Northey. At which point Harry Dixie Walkers brother, Walker, promptly took charge of the batting mark in both leagues. Working with a ball club, Walker has been one of the seasons star performers.
