~ IT IS A REMARKABLE FACT
that the mortality experienced
on large policies of life assurance
is less than on small ones. The
average amount of each policy
issued by the Equitable Life As
surance Society in 1866. was
81, ,15O. while the percentage Of
losses was but 1920. An aver
age policy Of the Mutual Life for
the same period was $3,5O4
percentage Of loss 1894. Wash
ington, 50, 400; loss 1914. Ger.
mania, $500; loss 1926. Uni
ted States, $2,393; loss 1927
All these are cash companies !;
and the rates of some sixteen
nots companies exhibit a similar
commentary, showing greater
mortality on small than on large
policies. The cause is attributed
to the fact that the wealthier
classes, who are able 10 assure
for the largest amounts, enjoy
those constant comforts and sani-
tary privileges, and lead that
regular course Of life which %
mat erially promotes longevity
The Equitable Life Assurance
Society issues policies on q single
life 40 to the amount Of $4,000.

The CONDITION OF EuRoPE.-The Old
World seems in u constant turmoil, from
which America, we trust, will always
keep aloof. Prussia is engaged in SAN

Poland by taking away every evidence
of her separate nationality. Austria is
tossed about in q sea Of trouble, her en-
pire being in danger of disintegration.
France is trying to emulate the military
strength of the new German Confede-
racy by increasing an army the French
people already loathe to support. Spain
is on the brink of a revolution. England
is in danger from IN Irish outbreak, and
her ruling classes are afraid Of "Re-

self from becoming a prey to the great

The POPULATION OF FRANoE.-In 1921
the population of France was 3o,46l,-
s75. In 1881 it had increased to 3d.
5ss, 1926; in ls4l to 34,23O, IFS; in 1851
to IS, 1873, ITO; and in 1861 to Sc, 7l7,254.
The annual rate Of increase has thus
been less than one-half of one per cent,
and it is apprehended will soon fall be-
low that small figure. The population
of France seems to be gradually sp-
preaching the stationary point; yet OF
late years war has had but little to do
with carrying away her people.

The FATAL SEvEN.-Under this head,
the Pittsburg Commercial notices the
curious fact that almost'every decade in
our history, ending with the figure seven,
has marked the beginning Of a financial
crash or depression. Thus, with 1897
came the crash that wiped out the con-
tinental currency. In 1907 our troubles
with France, and expected war with
England, confused the business Of the
country. In 1917 q tremendous fnan-
cial conyulsion occurred, the legacy of
the war Of l8l2-l4. In 1927 the infic-
ton was less severe, but ten years later,
1887, the whole banking system and
business of the country went down, to
be Frustrated to a greater or less extent
for the ensuing FIVE years. In ls47 there
were no particularly hard times on this
side of the Atlantic, but on the other
side, the English railroad speculations
produced great evils, and gaunt famine
stalked v e Ireland and other portions
of Europe. In 1857 imitation and over
trading, with US, ended in serious com
mercial losses.
