Miss Emma Graves, eighty-four years of age, has been one of the expert counters of Uncle Sam's money in the Treasury Department at Washington for the last fifty years. She is still working away as nimbly as ever. She is said to have the record of never having made a mistake in the count. We are glad of some of these splendid examples which serve to overthrow the notion so many people have, that when an individual reaches fifty or sixty years of age he should be retired.

Some 34 persons were killed and 117 injured through the collapse of a double-decked board walk which was some 25 feet above the ground and which led out to a large auditorium on the seashore at Long Beach, California. They were celebrating British Empire Day, and there were about 10,000 people in the crowd. The custodians were a little tardy in opening the auditorium doors, and this great mass of people kept crowding the sidewalk until finally the upper deck gave way and crushed down upon the lower one, when they both broke, and the mass of people went down together. It is feared that a number of those who were seriously injured will yet die.
