I have more faith in America today and more expectation for the future than at nnv timo in mv sixty years as a merchant. "To show that these are not mere words of optimism for advertising purposes let me tell you how we are backing this faith with actual deeds and expenditures of money?making investments for the future, you might say. Points to Stewart Building. "Do you see that gray building across Ninth street? A. T. Stewart, New York's foremost merchant of his day, built it fifty years ago, and it has never been surpassed in arrangements, facilities, conveniences, light, ventilation and general service for storokeeping. It has 547 windows for instance, fronting on four streets, with a great rotunda in the center and large skylights on the top P.oors, allowing a perfect flood of fresh air and daylight to flow through constantly. Even our new building, twice as large, built .us late as 11)00, is not an improvement, although constructed on the same general li'ies. "Well, Stewart made that store the greatest in America. He started it i1_ 1 i- 4 ! -I-. in tno gloomy rei:oii.sn ui'tiiMi mu\.> after the Civil War and ho never lot his faith go down for a moment. "Now in those other reconstruction clays we arc reviving in that old store the best genius that .Stewart puf into it. Wo .are restoring it. :i: nearly aspossible as it was in Stewart'- day. "We are making it again America's foremost store. "Any one can see the changes and improvements. But we are asked repeatedly, 'Why are you expanding and putting such fine goods to the fore?like jewelry and silver and treasurers from the Orient ? when a business is slow?' My reply is: FioT <vuiso 1 have faith in America and in New York. "Get to Work: Do All You Can." "I loft Philadelphia this morning at 7 o'clock when she was just gettingl awake, and when 1 reached New York | at 0 I found the streets already bustling with eager people going about their work. The forryhoat must have had several thousand people aboard. "When 1 passed the Leviathan, which tho Shipping Board now promises restore and put into service ."gain. r said: That's the kepnote for the American people; ^et to work, get into service, do all you can." /'How ivhont unemployment?" "There will be plenty of work for jill if we show our faith, nor. by relaxing ?''i' efforts, holding; back in fear, putting on blue glasses and keej.inp our money in our pockets, but by making needed imorove:ncut starting to build and r< bviid, '\:\!rg ,an<- selling?putting to work our enei gjriGf. our brains, our moneys ? every thing we have?for the good of the country. "Instead of curtailing our advertising wo are enlarging it. Instead of standing pat on our store as they have been we are refitting, rearranging, rebuilding and improving thorn. To do this we have given employment to large bodies of mech; lies and oth.ers do'* .and nie-ht. Adding to Organization. "Instead of cutting down our organization we are adding to it and building; it up. Wc mean to l>o ready for thn good times just ahead. nrl ho who does not t^ol ready is blind to t!io future of America. "How can any one ho a pessimist about 1h is country? YVhv, ovon F. ance ,?md England and Germany,' all hard r hit hy the war than wo, are putting u to pir n e in taking ofT their coats and 'vetting to work. "Moncv )usl romo out of if hiding places- in haul- > and in the homos? and >';o to work a'ong with our phy i ojil and montal energy to build new lv me , new stores, now factories, now bu micssos, new courage and now faith. "A. T. .Stewart showed the way in bis day. When Ireland wa -tutoring with famine h^ sent a*.k-hiuload of food. When General Grant wanted to make him his ^ocrc'ary of the Treasury and his enemies said: Tie belongs to the money interests, Stewart replied, 41 will sell out my whole store or give it away if necessary that I might serve my country.' Thrives on Competition. j "Mew,art only had a few real competitory in business- mainly Horace R Claflin. Today Nov/ York teem? with merchants and stores, which reminds me that when I first opened my bis: store in Philadelphia I repeatedly was threatened and I was ur^ed to take around with me a body ftuai'd because the littlo merchants that I w?as supposed lo be putting out. of business mi?*ht seek my lifo. Tf people only realized that business thrives on competition?all business? and that the people'; interests {.n j>'?'ttinR better merchandise and! lower pricc^ are alway improved when competition unstifled. "1 feel that i ha^e brought, to New York more tVian I h?ve ever tnkrn, away, an'? the best example or this - t - TH is my son, Rodman Wanamaker. "We invested in these properties i at Astor Place at a very low financial figure under great pressure to move uptown. We weighed the subject very carefully and preferred to set the new Wanamaker building by the side of the fine old Stewart structure, and we now have a frontage on five streets of 2,022 feet, and a space for doing business, including the garage and warehouse on Broadway a few blocks south, of thirty-eight acres a goodsized farm. "I also feel that I have a duty to a city that had in it such a great merchant as A. T. Stewart. It is noticeable that in almost every big city every man is for himself; he thinks only of his own interests; there isn't much unity to make a jrreat citv greater, all are too busy with their own private interests. "Well, if this cannot bo overcome, then let every one get busy and do what he can foY his own business, and in the end the whole community will benefit. "This seems strange talk for sleepy Philadelphia to give to wide-awake New York?but you see the virus of your great city's energy has got into my blood." o Three Negroes Escape. 1 Hendersonville, N.

The I question is being; seriously asked. Paris is much excited over an announcement which, I am told, long ago was made in New York. This is of the fact that Dr. Alexis Carrel 1, the truly wonderful Frenchman, whose opportunity was given him by the Rockefeller Foundation vn New | York, has told something of the ex j periment which he began long ago ut | the New York Rockefeller Institute. It was on January 17, 1021, when I Dr. Carrel 1, then in New York, took sixteen fragments of a chicken embryo eight days old, and, entirely separated as they were from all the vit.-.l organs of the chick quite separated, indeed, from all else, placed them under certain favorable conditions in gelatine. They were from the chicken embryon's heart and other vital organs. Nearly all remained alive for a short time. But by March only five fragments arrived. Various accidents and bacterial infections affected and killed all of these but one by September 25. This tiny fragment was taken from the connective tissue derived from the heart of the chicken and at the end of 101 days away from its organism it was still "beating"?that is, regularly palpitating with life. The discovery of this, which was announced, but in a highly scientific, cautious manner, so. that its significance should not be mistaken by the laity, but so that it might be used as a basis for deduction-drawing by the scientific minds of the world, who were indirectly incited to give thought for it. niv.Jtod a veritable sensation to all minds except the brilliant young Franco-American's. He was not surprised. He rather was astonished because he had not been able to keep aP t.he fragments alive. Not only d:<l this fragment live, but i its cells multiplied, which resulted in a steady if slow growth in size. Fragment Still Lives. It never has ceased to palpitate and to vigorously grow and the nos sibi'ities this open < up aro vast indeed. The scientific mind, as a matter af fact, hesitates at interpretations of them. The vistas which they open up are too far-reaclv'ng . French scientific opinion recent J v, however. lias reached some definite conclusions which m,nv he said to be among1 the most startling over known since the birth of modern science. Thev are to the rIToct that it i?? now established beyond any possibility of doubt that tho tissues of which al1 animals, including human beings, are actually immortal. This is established by the proof that a culture from an anim.al kept away from all the fatal influence*? which animal life a1^ present is subjected to. can and will live much longer than that animal itself can live. The life of Dr. Carrell's chicken-fragment is, today, greater than the 1 ifehistnry of any complete chicken known to the records of the chicken fanoiei s . 'Vhv Not Indei'inite!v long Life for Man? Tf indefinitely Ionn; life is conceivable for "> single cell, i< should not be i'lconceivable for a collection of cell.-?. <^a\ the best French scientific thinkers stimulated into deep reflection b ' the Carrel experiment. \!1 individual aniifials, including luu ians, .are collections of cells and nothing more than that.

'Hie breaking down of a single cell, through the successful attack of some outer enemy, may make a breach in the whole line> as the breaking down of "a single military unit may make a break in a battle front.
