Further proof that “shortening
hours lengthens life” is furnished by
the report of the. officers of the In-1
ternational Typographical Union. At
the beginning of the present century
the average age at death of Interna-
tional Typographical Union members
was 41.25 years. In 1916 this age had
increased to 51.73.

ceeded in adding ten years to the
average life of any community would |

THE CHILDREN
HAVE DANSANT
A children’s dansant was a worth-
while feature of today. All school
children of Waco were admitted to
the grounds free and they began ar-
riving early this morning. All day
the grounds were crowded with fu-
ture managers and builders of Cotton
Palaces and their chief occupation
during the day was the tracking down
and slaying of souvenirs. Many a
Waco home will be cluttered tonight
with literature, badges, buttons, book-
lets, pennants—everything that even
spelled a remote relation to a souve-
nir.
■ The dansant occurred at 3 'o’clock
and the youngsters crowded the
Coliseum floor for some of the dances.
They were given all the courtesies
and privileges of the fine dance floor
and the dance was accorded the same
music as furnished the grown-ups.
Maybe the little folks will be a bit
tired when they turn in tonight, but
they will have had a grand day at
the Cotton Palace.
