the founding of the Jr.
O. I J. A. M., 77 years ago by a
group of twelve young men, in the
little town of Cermantown, J'a., now
a part of the city of Philadelphia.
On account of the *plendid success
of this drive during the past three
months, it will be continued through
the balance of this year.
During the past three months, the
local council of the Jr. O. U. A. M.
has enrolled over thirty new merriIrt-rs.

young men under 21 years of age.
Although it is the aim of the local

Oldest Man in World ]
Visiting in America
Providence, K. I., July 18.-?*Zaro
Aghu, ho say* he is 154) years old, i
and th.it the first 100 years were the ,
easiest, landed here from Turkey to- i
day lv get himself a set of falsa j
teeth and, for a consideration, to let <
Amei. an scientists have a look at
him.
Thi date of hia birth, ?s given on
his passport, was February 10, 1774,
and this was based, said his great,
great grandson, Ahmet Mussa, who
accompanied him, on un actual re- i
cord in the possession of the Turkish
government. ,
Yellow und wrinkled, with a hawk- i
like nose, bristling grey moustache, <
and lively, curious eyes, weirdly |
alive in their deep, sunken sockets, <
Zaro Ahga sat in the sun on the deck :
of the steamer Sinai and talked of
war- and women and the third set of j
teeth that he grew at the age of 106. i
"They weren't very good teeth," ,
he suid in Turkish to his great great :
grandson, who repeated it in French i
to his patron, Assim Redvan.
j
"Not very good teeth, more like
baby teeth, and they lasted only 16
years."
r I
Zaro Agha has been married 12 i
times and had 36 children all of *
whom are now dead save one daughter
who was born when he was 06.
He has lost all track of the nuin>ber
of his grand children, great grand
children, and great great grand children.
"My first wife I married when I
was 20," he said, "and 1 always got
along with all my wives very nicely.
"Of the descendants through my
later wives that I married since I
moved to Constantinople 120 years
ago, 1 have some record. 1 know that
before the World War I had 22 grent
grand children living in Constantinople."
"But 1 was married first in the
land of my birth in Asia Minor, and
of my descendants there I know nothing."
For 112 years, until he was 135,
Agha says he worked as a porter.
There was first a war against Napoleon,
in Syria and Kgypt, he said,
and he fought in that, in the Turkish
army. Then there was the war with
the Cireeks?"oh, more than a hundred
years ago, I can't remember the
dates"?and four wars with Russia,
in the last of which he said he served
as n volunteer at the age of 103.
"I was in the artillery," he explained,
"and carried cannons on my
shoulders."
Agha "indignantly denied a report
that he had divorced his eleventh wife
to marry the present Mme. Agha ?
"she'- young, only 66"?who waits
for him in Instanbul.
"Me? 1 nver divorced any of my
wives." he grunted. "I got along
with them all, very nice, and they all
died."
"Now women-?I always am interested
in them. I like them, brunette
best, and plump."
He sighed and went on:
"In my youth I had n very good
time. Yes, a very good time. How
long did my youtfi last, you want to
know? Oh, until I was 105. I'm r
getting old since then, see? and held
out one of his claw-like hands, covered
with skin that was brown and
dry and almost transparent. He
pulled the skin up into a little fold
mi the back of his hand, and the
I fold remained there until he smoothed
it out.
j Agha again today said he had nev|
er tasted alcohol in his life, nor tobacco.
He lives, h^ said, mostly on
vegetables and sweets,
i His American manager said he had
signed contracts for Agha to appear
before two American scientific -bodies,
i but declined to reveal the names of
the societies or the fees,
j He has refused, he said, an offer
! of 52 weeks at $2,500 a week from
an American syndicate which oper

A
Big Turtle Caught
By Sumter Folk
Myrtle Bench, .Ally 17.?A huge
turtle weighing about three hundred
and fifty pounds and by actual ineasuiemcnt
forty eight by twenty-seven
inches in size which was washed up
on the beach here last night was c aptyred
and released again to eijjoy
the waters of the Atlantic*"!^ One
hundred and fourteen eggs were also
found in the sand. The finding of the
sea tortoise by Mr. and Mrs. Oscar J.
Kennedy, K. K. Friar, Mrs. W. E.
f'ovington, Miss Elizabeth Smith and
Mrs. Dora Hughes, all of Sumter, attracted
considerable interest among
the people on the beach and much excitement
among the youngsters. A
large crowd quickly gathered, some
of whom had never seen a turtle before.
Four people were unable to lift i
it up, giving an idea of its large size
and heaviness. It was the largest turtle
seen here in many years-. Some are
endeavoring to establish it as a record
for the Horry county coast. However,
the citizens of Myrtle Beach hope
that it will not be necessary to page
Ripley.
