New York, Aug. 10—Declaring that the lack of whiskey is breeding a “race of ping pong players,” Nathan Douchy, 91-year-old champion of rum and tobacco, has spoken his mind about what the world is coming to.
Celebrating his birthday a few days ago with friends at Darien, Conn., he attributed his age to whiskey and smoking. Mrs. Alida J. Cumming, leader of the Stamford Women’s Christian Temperance Union, promptly offered to appoint a committee to investigate what really made him live so long. She was certain it was not whiskey.
