WASHINGTON—The bitterness of
older men against the implied in-
sults of a younger man, is a real
(actor in the supreme court strug-
gle.
There are young men on bothi
sides and old men on both sides, but
the fight is one between old men and
young men. If you average separate-
ly the ages of the outstanding pro-
tagonists and antagonists, you will
find the disparity as great as that
between the 75-yeaT average age of
the six justices over 70, and the age
of Roosevelt, who is only 56.
Everyone who is here on the
ground realizes that when Roose-
velt — with a grin — asserted tout
Judges over 70 often served beyond
mental and physical capacity while
Unable to perceive their infirmities,
he embittered many of the old-
timers. They otherwise might have
been able to take his proposal more
calmly.

THE soap root, a plant of the lily family, not only furnished the
Indians with soap, but food as well. When cooked, it tastes much
like potatoes. The Indians also caught fish with it. Mashed soap
root thrown into a pool stupefied the fish and they floated to the
surface.

The age line of demarcation in
tills fight seems to he about 60
years. Men over that age have been
lulvised, in effect, by the president at
a press conference, that he would
appoint no sexagenarians to federal
judgeships. That doesn’t set well'
with some who had hoped to end
their careers on the bench, or felt
they might depend on a judgeship
In case constituents voted them out
of office. Also the supreme court !
retirement would permit justices to
retire with full pay at 70, only if
they had served 10 years.
Aside from the five conservative
justices over 70, whom Roosevelt
wants off the bench, most conspicu-
ous figures in the opposition bat-
Alva Adams of Colorado, 81; Ellison
D. Smith of South Carolina, 72; Wil-
liam H. King of Utah, 72; Walter P.
George of Georgia, 59, and Josiah
Bailey of North Carolina, 63.
Outside the Senate one observes
such opponents as Hatton Sumners,
61, chairman of the house judiciary
committee, who might easily have
expected to wangle a judicial ap-
pointment. He has been distinctly
luke warm to the Roosevelt program.
The Morgan lawyer, John W. Davis,
also had reasons to hope he would
wind up as supreme court justice, or
perhaps even chief justice, under
any conservative administration. He
is now 64.

AS MYI2A WITHDRAWS THE WILL FROM ITS
HIDING PLACE IN THE BUTLER’S PANTRY,
JEPSONJ EAGERLY SCANS IT-
CHARP-BEAKED. Sharp-beard-
ed Ferdinand I of Bulgaria saw
the World War coming, in 1914,
and planned to profit by it. He let
Europe know he needed a loan to
build up his railways, and the
great powers vied to gain his sup-
port. Germany won, but when the
war came the crafty old fox de-
clared his neutrality.
In September, 1915, however,
Ferdinand secretly signed an al-
liance with Germany, after Kaiser
Wilhelm had guaranteed pay-
ment of his private fortune in
England, for withdrawal of that
money at the time would have re-
vealed the secret.
So to war went Bulgaria. In
October, 1918, ns defeat seemed
imminent and revolt was in the
air, Ferdinand fled. Since then he
has lived quietly.in a villa-like
palace at Coburg, Germany, and
since then he has been receiving
pensions that already have mount-
ed to more than $1,000,009, Ger-
many fulfilled its promise to him.
Ndw, at 76, ex-King Ferdinand in-
terests himself in birds and the
| theater.
His portrait
appears on
many stamps of
Bulgaria. One,
issued on the
30th anniver-
sary of his ac-
cession to the
• throne, is
sho wn here.
